At my high school, kids called one of the only minority kids in the school the n-word about every single day. He wasn’t even African-American, he was Hawaiian! Small towns can be so fucking toxic.

I went to school in farm country in Kansas with total enrollment at the high school of less than 100 kids. Even there, where kids still rode tractors to school occasionally for fun and few were particularly enlightened, this would have been caught by some, if not all, of the school faculty and nipped in the bud. …

Kansas kid here. We had chili and cinnamon rolls at least once a month all through public school. One of the better lunches.  I graduated HS in 2010 though and they probably scrapped it after Michelle Obama convinced Congress our nutrition was shit.

I’d much rather hand a box of condoms or a toilet paper roll to a cashier (i’ve been one, they’ve seen it all, no biggie) to ring me up then have the self-checkout machine lose its shit (as it is wont to do), start flashing lights, and THEN prompt an employee to come check on me while buying it.

Because I’d rather go take a massive dump than attend the company-wide morning standup meeting.

I was broke in college and tied the used mattress I had just bought to the top of my Explorer. Wind picked up as I was driving it home and it flew off. I am so lucky it literally flew into the stadium parking lot on the side of the road rather than hitting a car or causing an accident. I tied it back on and drove 5…

In high school my buddy had a pickup and a bunch of us would lay in the back and he’d drive fast and hit bumps on back roads for fun. We were idiots. That’s why I’m lame and narc on my nephew when I find out he’s playing with dangerous homemade fireworks even though his dad and I did the same thing. Luck doesn’t…

I lost my mother to lung cancer when I was 10. She knew smoking was linked to cancer and smoked anyway. Is that also on the wrong side of your fucking ridiculous wrong side of the tragedy line? Go fuck yourself and your judgement.

I turned 21 on 12/12/12 and it was heinous.

I will say the brewery in Washington, KS may prove I’m full of shit, it seems to be doing great and with breweries come food trucks, lol.

Perhaps. If I say I’m from a small town in Kansas, people say “what, Manhattan?” (Manhattan was actually a big city to me growing up). To people from more populous states our “cities” don’t even register. Conversely, a lot of of people from back home think of Denver where I live now as a huge city, but it’s actually a…

I’m from Kansas, and well, I guess we kinda do, but basically just Wichita, Topeka, and the 1/2 of Kansas City and burbs that are in Kansas. We’re very much on the back half of population per state let alone by area.

My dad works construction in Kansas and a handful of Hispanic laborers that work with him get their families to bring Tex-Mex (Kans-Mex?) food to sell out of the back of their trucks during lunch breaks. It’s not on the level, but even godforsaken Kansans want in on the taco truck action.

I went to a small comedy club show last year featuring Dave Chapelle. Some drunk asshole started shouting Chapelle’s Show lines like a drunk asshole is wont to do. The crowd eviscerated the guy (“SHUT THE FUCK UP”, almost in unison) before Dave Chapelle even had a chance to respond. As security took him out, Dave…

I read the Knight of the Seven Kingdoms prequel collection and reread the 5 ASOIAF novels because GRRM is a heartless bastard and I am having separation anxiety from the series.

Chicken breasts are expensive and not particularly flavorful (though healthier if that’s your thing), and whole chickens are the best deal but require some prep work and/or picking, but what I’ve found to be the best of both worlds are thigh. On weeks where I’m not particularly inspired I’ll just whip up a basic…

Yeah. And given that the odds of being caught and fined for it are about the same as getting a speeding ticket, it doesn’t deter a lot of people that do concealed carry.

Unfortunately in some states (Kansas for instance), the first two times you bring a gun into a gun-free zone and are caught, it’s less than a 500 dollar fine.

I am all for legalization of drugs, but. . .
