Apparently blowing up soda machines is now the new rage in Iowa.

Never been a fan of Mason City. I've got a ton of family in Charles City.

Let's see... backwater, about 2 and a half hours north [west] shithole [esp. since the floods]. half the people in Des Moines would describe Cedar Rapids the same way.
Half the people in Kansas City would say the same thing about Des Moines.
It's all relative dude. No reason to take a crap on Mason City.

First I'd heard of it. That's a backwater paper from about two and half hours up north. Mostly local news, but they like to display the 'hooliganism' of the 'big city.'
It's sort of like 'The Village.' If they convince everyone that it's dangerous down here, maybe they won't leave. Mason City is a shit-hole.

Come back to uber after you've found more constructive posts than copying a 2-bit news story. That and checking the RPM of the lawn mower blade with your face.

Wow, I have a friend in Cedar Rapids who didn't mention this at all. I'm guessing it either doesn't register on their radar, or she's ashamed.

How to nuke the nerds in the dorm room across the hall for being such nerds anyway
2 Liter bottle of Diet Coke
Square of toilet paper
Mentos
Awl or small drill
Fishing line
Tie fishing line around bottle neck
Remove cap from bottle
Pour out a couple ounces to make some room
Use awl or drill to make dozens of tiny holes near top of bottle, above liquid level
Poke toilet paper into opening far enough to hold Mentos but do not get it wet
Place Mentos into toilet paper depression
Screw cap back onto bottle to secure Mentos above liquid
Place in jokee's doorway
Tie fishing line to door knob, leaving a little slack
Knock loudly
Watch as the door opens and pulls the bottle into the room, tipping it over and allowing the Diet Coke to contact the Mentos, causing it to spray the entire room through the dozens of little holes.
Laugh your motherfucking ass off until you graduate and find yourself working for that nerd.

Lungfish: Followed by Mexico City, I suppose?
Post: I'm surprised noone's been mentioning Mentos as the M.O. yet.

My city leads the USA in kidnappings, and we're number 2 in the world in that regard. We're awesome.
