Poor Desmond Howard.

This is what I'm talking about. The place is deader than Michael Scott's bedroom.

After getting a house and taking up smoking on the weekends a few times a month, I have come to the conclusion that most BBQ restaurants suck. Unless a place does enough volume to sell everything same day or substantially limits quantities that they smoke, like Franklin's down in Austin or a couple places around where I live, they just aren't that good. Ribs do not keep and need to be consumed same day. Brisket does not keep very well. Pork shoulder will keep, but you have to be very gentle when you reheat it. I went to one place down here and the pork shoulder was dry and refrigerator temperature in the middle.

And I'm not a health nut by any means, but my god some of these places just absolutely murder the meat with salt. If I taste more salt than whatever wood you used on the first bite, your meat is not good.

Amen. You nailed it.

The most interesting thing I ever did in Ames was participate in a Veisha riot on Welch Avenue. Those were the days......

1992? I was at that one.

Ames is the most boring college town in the country. No culture, no hot food spots, no entertainment unless is pig wrestling. Even the college bars are trash.

Ames sucks, but is it really worse than places like Lubbock, Texas or Manhattan, Kansas?

Don't worry Dez, you'll get good case of religion after being in Ames for the fear of spending eternity in hell once you spend this weekend in it!

Actually, yes. And it’s not even close. Ames is way worse than both of those towns at least.

I heard once that the guys on the Ames campus out number the females like 3-1.

My neighbor is an Enginerd from Purdue and he said it is that way in West Lafayette.

I think it's people with facial hair to people w/o facial hair is 3:1

Those are good.

I like the "Meth?" response.

I'm sure that between the vet school and USDA labs there's more than enough cow barns and hog lots to shovel. Lots of shit going down in Ames.

I was there too! Never forget the dude who climbed the light pole and somehow didn’t fall and die.
Best was Johnny Orr being called to get people to disperse after APD couldn’t get anything done.

The place is like a penitentiary.

So basically a grocery store and a gas station. Way to sell your city clown fans

So surreal. A modern day Hooterville. Without the quaintness.

Someone needs to tell Desmond that it’s just like Dr. Pepper’s Fanville, except there is less to do

Didn't you hear though that it was just rated the #1 college town in the country by a ton of categories that have nothing to do with fun though? Talk to a clown and you're sure to hear it!

The only thing Ames has going for it is being close to Des Moines. And maybe that its slightly better of a college town then Cedar Falls.

When people in Ames want to do something they go to Des Moines. That’s not a joke. That should tell you all about how fun Ames is.

But hey, they got that new flyover bridge
