11 years ago at 4:40 pmThat last one. I see what you did there.
11 years ago at 4:41 pmJust described Iowa State perfectly
11 years ago at 4:43 pmEveryone should experience Little 500 one time, no matter where you go to school.
11 years ago at 4:43 pmSo sad that Mifflin was cancelled last year.

11 years ago at 4:46 pmMaize > Corn
11 years ago at 4:47 pmYeah, if you are actually from the Midwest then you know there really isn’t much corn here. It is almost all maize.
11 years ago at 6:30 pmGood thing it says nothing about being -from- the Midwest. Why would anyone want to own up to that?
11 years ago at 3:56 amSorry, I didn’t realize I was talking to a fucking retard. Go ahead and look at admission statistics, when you see that most Midwest students are from the Midwest you can kindly lick the paint off the bottom of a full pull. Also, I am proud to be from the Heartland, fucktard. No corn, no cattle, no bourbon, no South. Read a book, dildo.

11 years ago at 4:49 pmWell done sir.
