Lincoln, NE...
 

I've stayed over here a few times at the Corn Husker Inn(the restaurant here sucks) and I'm not impressed. Is there anything worth a corn shit in this town?

Please try all of the beers at Boiler Brewing Company and report back... tia.

Best entertainment options in Lincoln are cow tipping and ****ing your relatives.

Should have come to Branson

Dieter was already hosting someone else from CP

I was just there and went through the Titanic and did the Dixie Stampede. In between we took the grandsons to Big Air Trampoline Park.

Naw that's all been done.

Do corn fields attract mosquitoes?

Maize pollen, an important food source for mosquito larvae, produces chemicals that encourage egg- carrying Anopheles arabiensis to lay their eggs in maize fields. Mos(don't)quitoes

Good times, sounds fun. Get any pussy?

Should of gone to Omaha.

Go visit the Museum of Rubber Bands, drink milk at Mama Johnson's Big Farm of Fun, and lastly enter the "How many corn kernels are in this barrel" at Stinky's Bar

I’m a big fan of Jakes Cigar bar, Boiler Brewing, and Yia Yias pizza and beer.

The ch is old. Take a walk around Haymarket and see if there's something down there you like. My favorite place to go is the speakeasy for drinks.

Misty's

Go to the history museum on campus and the state capitol. Both are pretty amazing.

We're about to peel out of here but I'll be back tomorrow for an overnight. The restaurant was pretty weird this morning. It was full of a bunch of dorky people who think they're intellectuals. They just wreaked of worthlessness. My grandson who did a nice job of coloring Dory and Nemo was obviously the smartest guy in the room.

Head over to Omaha for a Cinnobon.

Something from the restaurant gave me an issue but now were going to point the Conestoga west and head out across the prairie. **** Omaha! Omaha!

No idea if Wheatfield's is still around, but it's also a pretty great breakfast/bakery restaurant.

If you're heading west out of Lincoln, best to do it at night. That's when all the wildlife comes out. Don't break down. :D

We head that way tomorrow so maybe we'll check it out if it's still open.

We're in beautiful Sidney, NE now. :)

Ask for Gene. He's the best.

Ask for some legal advice. No worries though, it's all good man.

Go to Omaha immediately and go to one of several Abelardos locations and order either a Carne Asada Burrito or a Bacon Egg and Cheese Burrito... thank me tomorrow.

The Engine House in the Havelock part of Lincoln is good for breakfast

I was in Lincoln a couple weeks ago and saw that they opened one there as well.

D'Leons in Lincoln is similar, so is Ponchos in the KC area.

No, ex and her family are from there so I have spent significant time there. Literally, just eat average food and licking Herby Husker’s taint is all there is to do in that town.

I believe that I'm going to have to try both. My job is sending me to Omaha from September 6-17. I just searched for Omaha and found this post Anything else to do in Omaha? I think that I'm going to have a lot of time to kill.

You can get lucky in Counciltucky

Old market/Riverfront area is where I would hang out.

Zipline, Thunderhead, and Upstream Breweries.

Spaggetti Factory.

Big shots indoor range, nice place, employees who work there are great!! Can rent a ton of guns to try out.

They might have closed down since Saturday due to safety concerns

I never thought I could experience worse drivers than Kansas Drivers. Then I spent time in Lincoln, Nebraska.

I made it into Omaha last night. I see that some of you gave me some input for things to do. Thanks. I worked 18 hours the day after I posted in here and didn't check back until now to see that. BTW, is there an Arrowhead Kingdom chapter up here? I'll be up here for the first 2 games.

sounds like some kind of shitty old drive up motel from 1960

LSD

I though this was a word association thread.

Nebraska drivers are the worst and it's not even close

I've definitely experienced that fact in the last couple of years.

The ****.
We have 20 billion ears of corn in this state. And not one ear of corn is the same.
If you can't look out your car window and watch the rows of corn role bye. You just don't appreciate corn.
And you're gay.

There's a JCPenny in the mall with a nice selection of White Levi's.

I spent a lot of time in rural Minnesota this month staring at cornfields, and then drove across rural Nebraska for a couple of days. I have one word to describe my experience.

Flies.

WTF is with all of the flies? I presume it has some connection with fertilizer, but the flies were off the hook. At one point I made the mistake of rolling my car window down for a half-hour or so while I was parked, and when I got back in there were 12 to 14 flies that had taken up residence inside, and they refused to leave. There were flies everywhere I went. I stayed at a hotel that actually provided a fly swatter.

At one point I was on the SD-MN border, and I stopped at a McDonald's for lunch. Two booths away, a group of farmers congregated one by one. There were two, and then three, and then four, and so on. Some enormous pickup would pull into the lot and they'd say, "There's Merle. It looks like he's in town for fertilizer."

But anyway, a couple of these farmers brought fly swatters into the McDonalds with them and they hunted flies for sport. I would be peacefully eating my burger and then suddenly - SWACK! - one of them would go after a fly right next to me. I realize that they were providing a positive public service, but it was kind of disconcerting. It reminded me of those guys planning to rob the drug dealer in Boogie Nights, and that little Chinese guy would keep startling them with firecrackers.

It was an awesome scene, but you don't like being the one getting constantly startled by firecrackers and/or fly swatters.

Stone washed and shrink to fit 501s?

Heat and humidity = flies.

You've been in mountain country far to long. Us low landers deal with flies. Ozarks is bad this time a year to

Have a mosquito story from 3 years ago.

Went out to a new reservoir I'd never fished.
Showed up, just before sun up.
Got out of the car to get shit ready and could hear this hi pitch humming, coming from all diffrent directions.
Once it was light enough to see. It was clouds of mosquitos,the size of semi trailers. Out in the cornfields, hovering a few feet above the corn. Never seen or heard anything around here like that before.

You can hang Scott Frost in effigy.

Why would Nebraska waist a good thought out effigy on Scott?

......................He sucked.............. The End!

They should do something about them. Maybe import giant leaping spiders or hordes of bats or something.

But now that I think about it, you'd think that hunting populations would increase to keep the flies in check and there would be a natural increase in fly-eating birds or bats or insects when the air is thick with flies. Why is that not happening? I could have eaten my own weight in flies if I had chosen to do so.

Ever been to Pussy Heaven philfree?

When I lived in rural (bush) Alaska, we lived where Lake Aleknagik met the Wood river. That particular point of land is called 'Mosquito Point'. It got its name for a reason.

First time I went hunting, I went up river with a buddy. We got a caribou and it was back in a slough off the main channel of the river. Really slow moving water. Bugs were bad as we approached the downed caribou. I was with a co-worker who had lived out there for years. He volunteered to cut up the caribou because he could do it quickly. And he did. Took him about 15 minutes to have it quartered out.

He was going to cut it open to remove the guts and I was going to hold the sides open to give him better access. Before he did, he told me to put on my mosquito netting hat. I thought, "There are a lot of mosquitos but they aren't bad. But I"ll do what he says." So, I put on the mosquito net hat. He sliced open that caribou and I had never before seen such a horde of flies, mosquitos, and white socks (a type of biting fly that are a pain in the ass).

I did not know to bring gloves. And holding the caribou open, my hands got bloody. I looked at my hands at one point and they were just black there were so many bugs on them. They itched for days from mosquito bites and fly bites. But I had caribou for the winter. And every time I went hunting afterward, I took some gloves.

That is crazy.

Randy's Roadhouse kinda sucks

Spaggetti Works dude...

At some point I discovered the single greatest way to kill flies. I don't remember if I read it somewhere or if I discovered it myself, but it's a 100 percent effective killer.

You get a plastic to-go spoon.

You bend the spoon a bit to get tension into it, and then position it over the fly. You can get it close to the fly and still be far enough away to not trigger its flee instinct. Position it over the fly, get the tension built up, and then release it.

Bam.

100 percent kill rate. It's completely accurate and always effective.
