Hey my buddy lives in La Canada Flintridge!

Do you know some guy named Brady?

ZenGum · 05-22-2009, 01:13 AM

... who was bringing up three boys on his own?

Queen of the Ryche · 05-22-2009, 12:18 PM

I did go to high school with a Brady F.

Undertoad · 05-22-2009, 01:40 PM

Hiya Diminished (and Persistence!) I have no advice to offer I'm afraid; but a hearty welcome to the Cellar ... which is chock full of enough weirdness to keep anyone occupied for weeks :P

monster · 05-23-2009, 11:57 PM

Well slap us sideways, they were with us all afternoon and evening and we never thought to get a photo. Now you have to come back tomorrow, guys.....

Diminished and I were at school together for one year back when we were 12/13/something like that, but he and P are so cool, it felt like we'd all known each other for a lot longer than that.

By the way,are there any actual real live Raccoons is the U.S,or do they just appear spontaneously dead on the roadsides?They're by far the most common roadkill we see.

This is a result of an ongoing competition between them and the poultry population.

beest just remembered the Mitchell Corn Palace in South Dakota to add to your list of weirdness. And -as we discussed last night but also mentioning here in case other travellers use this thread- you should probably try and take in a rodeo in Nebraska.

is that still around? I saw it when i was a kid, and loved it. But I heard it had burned down.

monster · 05-24-2009, 04:09 PM

It has? aw. we saw it about 7 years ago

Hmmm, seems to be still going....

ZenGum · 05-24-2009, 08:16 PM

Nebraska burned down? OMG!

xoxoxoBruce · 05-24-2009, 08:20 PM

Corn Palace.

glatt · 05-24-2009, 08:59 PM

I just googled it. I saw it in 75 and it burned down in 79, but they rebuilt it in 81. I guess the press only reports fires, and not rebuilding. So I never heard it was rebuilt. Awesome place. I recommend it.
