My favorite part of the cat house is that they just stuck the komodo dragon there for some reason. looking forward to the eventual expansion though

lincoln literally exists because young people from omaha want to go to college out of town but are too afraid to travel more then 50 minutes away from omaha.

Oh yeah my same uncle who now lives on the foot of the hill where he nearly died isn't really upset about it since he is a sane person. Which can't be said of his neighbor who has all those signs saying how Obama is a socialist nazi. Favorite past time is when he comes over to see his mom with us and the inevitable political arguments where we all basically make fun of grandma and her stupid beliefs. Of course my mom and sister hate it when I bring up "Where in the Bible does it say gay people are awful and should be mistreated?" because sure enough she'll go back and bring her bible where she highlighted verses from Romans.

The thing I hate about Omaha is that I always go there when its August or late July and its always hot and a drought. I need to go on the trails the next time I'm there.

E: Also my late aunt actually went to elementary school with the Million Dollar Man Ted Dibase, but I only found out this after she was already mentally gone with Alzheimer's :smith:

Omaha is pretty decent as far as midwestern cities go, it's got good things to do

i've also lived in Indiana and Nebraska is Indiana but with more wind

i don't care about football too much but will make fun of bo pelini until the end of time

and ya the weed i've encountered is pretty good, would be nice to have a solid connection tho

I wouldn't want to drive across this stupid state either, driving across iowa is bad enough

I've driven in pretty much every state in the country, and of the thousands and thousands of miles I've put in I'd say the stretch of I-80 going across Nebraska is the most boringly soul crushing of them all. Iowa is a very very close second.

If you have to drive across the state, taking either Highway 2 or 20 is about a million times better.

I mean, if you're a successful actress and you go out of the house in a skirt and without underwear, knowing that paparazzi are just waiting for opportunities like this and that it has happened many times before, then there's really nobody you can blame for it but yourself.
the gently caress is a "nebraska"?

yeah I have no intention of ever driving farther west than lincoln for this exact reason

going across iowa twice a year is bad enough

esp. that time when I miscalculated the gas mileage and we had to stop for gas about 3/4th of the way to Nebraska from Illinois

there were farmers, plural, driving their farming equipment things to the gas station to buy booze and there were a million bugs in the air like some kind of plague

Grew up in Norfolk, moved to Omaha. gently caress northeast NE so bad. Omaha is alright except for all the pedophiles and junkies and stuff. Been a tiltawhirl operator for 13 years and still make 3 bucks and 75 cents an hour.

driving farm equipment on the highway sucks cause every dumbass in a minivan wants to pass you going 70 with two feet of clearance while you try not to decapitate them with your 10 ton death machine that becomes wobbly as gently caress past 15mph

Lincoln is pretty decent, and has spent a ton of money in the last decade on it's downtown entertainment district. Also, my freezer has literally never run out of awesome steaks and hamburger in over 6 years now, and I haven't paid a dime for any of it.
