Z............the trophies are the new relics! | ||

Z: Fr. Bob stated the pictures may be in the basement church. He mentioned something about the trophies and the signed football. It sounds like they are still there too. Perhaps CFG could do some investigative work in a couple of weeks. Good follow up question Z BTW, I spoke with someone who teaches at an academy that once was Servite HS, He is still very connected to the Arch Dioescese..It seems that in Servite's case many of the trophies went to the alumni/former players. | ||

Thought I'd share this with you guys. Moving to Iowa did not involve too many cultural changes for me. It's midwest values just like in Mich. One of the nuances though is the whether it is called pop or soda. In Michigan I always knew it as pop but the prevailing term here is soda. Now it has reached critical mass and is up for debate. A midwest chain of gas station is called Kum and Go (no lie) is having an online vote. I also know that down south (maybe laing can verify) that they call pop/soda - Coke. They say they want a Coke- what kind of Coke? Mountain Dew please. http://www.pop-vs-soda.com/ | ||

Another one that took a while to get used to was being asked at the store whether you want a sack for your food. | ||

Z: Just remember to stay true to your St. Jude roots. Hamburgers 25 cents, Hot Dogs 20 cents, POP 10 cents. Do you have Vernors in Iowa? Next time they ask if you want a sack for your food just tell them to bag it. The term soda is a Michigan term and perhaps Ontario and some of the neighboring states. Out east, west and down south it's SODA. | ||

I have found a store in Ames that carries Vernors. They only have it in cans, it seems to taste better out of a bottle. | ||

Z, I just voted for Pop. I've been to the Kum & Go in Leadville, Co, over 10000 feet in altitude. Apple has a travel site for Ipod users to upload pics, so we took a picture of Sarah with 'the Pod' in hand in front of the Kum & Go to post. I'm sure she was teh most popular girl on the site for a while.  | ||

Out on the East coast they used to call pop/soda/Coke a phosphate. Texas is big on that Coke for everything, too. Also, when you order Iced Tea you always get the question 'Sweet Tea?" | ||

Oh, and don't forget the ever popular 'Soda Pop' | ||
Eastburn Member Username: Eastburn Post Number: 283 Registered: 03-2008 |
I've always thought of a soda as pop & ice cream | ||

Thanks for sharing JC. You've got feel for foreigners trying to figure this out. I guess if they just ask for water they can't get confused. | ||
Zitro Member Username: Zitro Post Number: 1033 Registered: 04-2008 |
Then I would assume you would vote pop then right EB? | ||
Zitro Member Username: Zitro Post Number: 1034 Registered: 04-2008 |
It would be very easy to make an association between the altitude of that store in Colorado and the name of the store. But I won't do it, since this is a church thread. | ||
Jcole Member Username: Jcole Post Number: 2513 Registered: 04-2005 |
It's the 'Not quite Mile High Club'. See, I don't care. | ||
Eastburn Member Username: Eastburn Post Number: 284 Registered: 03-2008 |
Yep, for me it's pop. Perhaps some of this discussion should be moved to the "brothels" thread. | ||
Jcole Member Username: Jcole Post Number: 2515 Registered: 04-2005 |
C'mon EB, they mention it in the Bible. ALOT | ||
Eastburn Member Username: Eastburn Post Number: 285 Registered: 03-2008 |
And I, for one, am all for it. As a final comment on my weekend - as I was walking through the fairgrounds Saturday midnight after watching folks nearly destroy expensive HD motorcycles in the "corral" I felt as if I was in a Mad Max movie. Fires burning, rock music playing, tribal characters all around. Kinda weird. | ||

EB: 25 years ago this behavior might have seemed normal to you. Now the insanity of it is very obvious. | ||
Eastburn Member Username: Eastburn Post Number: 286 Registered: 03-2008 |
25 1/2 maybe. I might have been right in the middle of it. But I don't think I'd have torn up one of my beloved Beemers. | ||
Jcole Member Username: Jcole Post Number: 2517 Registered: 04-2005 |
15 years ago, I'd have been swingin' the torch to light the bonfire, while holding a bottle of 80 proof Smirnoff. Who Hoooo! Partay!! | ||
Eastburn Member Username: Eastburn Post Number: 287 Registered: 03-2008 |
Z - You're right. I gave myself an extra year. | ||
Zitro Member Username: Zitro Post Number: 1036 Registered: 04-2008 |
I thought so. Isn't your birthday like March 84? | ||
Eastburn Member Username: Eastburn Post Number: 288 Registered: 03-2008 |
Yes sir. 3/28/84. We should plan a celebration late next year. | ||
Zitro Member Username: Zitro Post Number: 1037 Registered: 04-2008 |
It was a bitter sweet year for sure. We can share a pink lemonade together | ||

I've got my B'day coming up 8/8/08. I'll be 15 | ||

Congrats JC: It's a great accomplishment. That's the opening day of the Olympics. It's nice to have friends who truly understand the effort and agony it takes. I never want to go through it again. | ||
Jcole Member Username: Jcole Post Number: 2524 Registered: 04-2005 |
You and me both, brother. It was no fun at all. Getting there on the other hand, had its moments, early on. | ||

7 - You still alive or just in deep contemplation? | ||

Can we pick on CFG while she's away? She'll never know. |
