Corn growers Vs Bud Light

I'm sure most of you have heard about the feud between Corn Growers and Bud Light over the corn syrup commercials. Here the level of pettiness that this has reached.

The National Corn and SB Growers Associations sponsors a huge grower conference every year called Commodity Classic. A good client of mine exhibits there and has a social hour at their booth 2 nights. The person that takes care of the booth for my client was ordering beer for this years event in Orlando. He ordered a keg of Abita Amber (Good choice) and a keg of Sweetwater 420.

An hour later the conference rep called him back and said they could not serve Sweetwater 420 at the conference because it goes through an Anheuser-Bush owned distributor in FL. So the Corn Growers pettiness punished a craft brewery because Bud Light made them mad.

Best April Fool's Prank

Usually you can see these pranks a mile off so being caught off guard is special on April 1. Worse is when you tell people the truth and people don't take you seriously. For instance a friend thought on Sunday it was April 1 and when I tried to correct him he was certain at first I was fooling him!

Game of thrones actress did a pretty good one though!:

Submit Your Questions for the 4/3 Mid-Week Mailbag

I promise there will actually be one this time. Since I wrote a whole column on Hoiberg, I will not include him in any capacity in this mailbag, so don't bother asking questions about him.

Planning on answering the following questions from last week's thread. Lots of fun ones to offset the fact that everyone seems to be freaking out about one thing or another right now...

Cyched: When using a urinal in a row with no privacy stalls (Jack and Hilton for example), which is the right way to look? Straight forward, or straight down?

BCClone: When you see someone you kinda know but aren't good friends with (like a family friend, a parent of a classmate or so) how do you say hi? Just say hello? Shake hands? My wife has a classmate's dad who wants to hug me every time. Not a side hug but a full "sorry for your loss" type of hug. He will give that back pat and rub during it also. I now try to use my wife as a shield when I see him. He does this to other people not just me. Am I the odd one who doesn't care for some guy I barely know giving me hugs that I won't even give my family? I will say I'm not a hugger, I don't even care for family or friends to hug me.

Cyclonepride: Just what in the hell am I supposed to do until September?

Bret44: When will we reach Peak Offseason Thread? Early May, Mid June? What do you think. Also, what is your favorite type of Offseason Thread?

Darius Bieber: If you had to choose another name for Iowa State besides the Cyclones, what would you think would be appropriate?

coolerifyoudid: Imagine a teleporter is invented, you get to use it for a week before anyone else and there will be no record with how you use it. What are three ways that you are going to abuse the technology?

Missing Walker Man

Trying to avoid the blonde female bias of not caring about a missing white male. A man has been missing from Walker for around three weeks now.

"Bagley, 31, left his home on December 13th. His wife said Bagley told her he would be back after a bit. He then took off with a person she didn't really know-- leaving his truck and wallet behind. He was last seen on December 14th in the Cedar Rapids-area. Investigators are not saying who spotted him."

"In the time Bagley has been missing, he's made no phone calls to family, sent no messages, and left behind few clues as to where he may have gone."

NCAA Bracket Facts...

Are there facts that you use sometimes in assisting you to fill out your bracket? Here's my big one that really isn't discussed all that much but the odds are off the charts high of happening...

In 21 of the last 22 years, at least one No. 2 seed has failed to make it to the Sweet 16. That means 95% of the time, at least one 2 seed is upset by a 7/10 seed.

Yours?

Anyone watching Prime's Hanna?

Caught the first 4 installments.....just too many things happening without explanation. Baby Hanna taken by father to forest and the next scene shows a 15 year old girl bringing down a deer.. How the hell did dad feed the baby in a cave hundreds of miles from nearest town? Where did dad get the soup laddle shown in one scene?
I rate what I have seen as a weak 2.
