just when you thought it was safe to take out the trash…
it wasn’t . (click to read about the attack of the killer ‘yardys’)

cedar rapids has always been a puzzling place to me. they actually claim to have five seasons instead of four (the fifth lasts all year and is called ‘a time to enjoy’). but this problem they have now with belligerent inanimate objects is even more perplexing than their white suburban utopia-fantasy involving the mythical fifth ’season’.

to our good friends in the city of five seasons: sorry for poking fun of your city’s motto and yardy behavior. deep down, we probably envy the fifth season. but we couldn’t help making fun of it! its so corny…’a time to enjoy’? haha!
speaking of corn:
“You know they call corn-on-the-cob, ‘corn-on-the-cob,’ but that’s how it comes out of the ground.
They should just call it ‘corn,’ and every other type of corn, ‘corn-off-the-cob’.
It’s not like if someone cut off my arm they would call it ‘Mitch’, and then re-attached it, and call it ‘Mitch-all-together’.”
