I have never had a better vanilla shake than d&j's

Harper County is definitely SCKS.  If it were SWKS Anthony would have made my power ranking.  I can't stop myself from calling Anthony "Tony" in my head.  Anyway Tony is the best stop from anywhere to Medicine Lodge, sorry Wellington, more like Smellington.

This thread made me appreciate growing up in Hutchinson.  Thanks everyone!

Anita Cochran, Leon Libel, and Monica Miller even though I interned at KUPK.

Wait, what?  I worked at kupk. When did you intern? I guess I never realized you were from GC. I hated Bryce so much, old bastard.

Being an elite Alta Brown Dragon
the all city 6th grade track meet
being in 9th grade but still being in middle school
playing pickup baseball at Victor Orneleas, and playing pickup basketball at Jennie Wilson
Buffalo Broadcasting System and the elite Shelby McNutt

I feel like we probably know each other. McNutt pretty much got me my first two media jobs.

one of my greatest goEMAW related moments was when i (accidently) realized who chingon is in "real life."   

Looks like you and MIR are about to find out you know each other in real life too.  (Now I want to know if MIR knows my family too..)

Marshmallow cherry limeade from D&js and bake potato pizza from smokehouse/krystys kafe!

I think the rule in this thread should be that you can't list things that are only in your hometown.  Like, I could really hype the Dalton Gang Hideout but that would be cheating.

Bin there, many years ago.  Do they still have the two-headed calf in the barn (moozium)?

how many times do I have to mention the Jet Stop to get you to stop crying.  That isn't getting Meade moved up my pole.  If the high school wasn't the purple buffaloes they'd be listed someone near Marienthal and Ft. Dodge.

You, me, and, Chingon have hijacked threads about GC before you crackhead.  I interned at KUPK in '94.  I was there when the studio was brand new, before the go cart track and mini golf were there.  My BBS partner was the elite Brock Bowling.  He got the meanest letter from Keith Olbermann BTW.  Anyway I was at BBS when McNutt got his first video toaster, man he loved that thing.  I saw him running cable for kids when I went back in October.  He has aged well, looks exactly the same.

Is Stafford considered SWKS?  I was going to Hutch for a scholars bowl tournament, we stopped at a place called Ickies in Stafford and I got food poisoning.

I think it is central KS. I went to 8th grade regional math contest there. And of course I made it to state in McPherson.

coach welton.  is that guy still alive?

Talked my grandfather today.  Coach Welton is still alive, but he is not doing very well.

[tdaver]

you guys want to make fun of liberal?  I will if you want...

Got pak'd at some bar (Heavy's?) in Liberal after a buddy's wedding several years ago.  Interesting crowd.

[Rams]

i didn't do a lot of anything in cimarron.  for my small time fun, i stuck to lakin or scott city.  went to johnson city once.  was weird.

 

Also eff MIR for putting Syracuse above Johnson. 

Can't believe I got this far behind on this thread.

Drunken cliff diving at Two Buttes
High school golf tournaments on sand greens
Getting drunk and climbing to the top of grain elevators
Coyote hunting on snow days
Field trips to the Dalton Gang Hideout (hat tip, SD)
Pioneer Days (our whatever your county fair was)
Driving to Colorado to buy beer on Sunday
Simultaneously loving and hating when the harvesters came through town because they would sleep with all your skanks but they'd also buy you beer
Could get away with a bunch of illegal crap cause all of the cops knew you by name (probably doesn't apply to big city's like Garden)
Dragging Main
Having to drive an hour and a half to Wal-Mart in GC if Gibson's didn't have what you needed

Guess I smoked too much crack.

You're quite a bit older than me, I graduated in 2000. I talk to McNutt a few times a year...he's only a few years from hanging it up.

When you were at kupk, was the engineer a guy named brad who lived in Ulysses? I loved that guy.

Also eff MIR for putting Syracuse above Johnson. 

Was once called a n-word while attending a wedding in Manter, so I hold that against all of Stanton County, and I dated a girl from Syracuse for about 15 minutes.  There was a very nice, very elite cross country coach from SCHS who won a ton of state championships, don't remember his name.  Also I never played on a golf course with dirt greens, but I did run on several.  Tribune was the worst and their medals looked like a rabid jackrabbit.  Stanton County had a nice course

Don't think so.  I can't even remember who my anchor was and I wrote copy for her.
