Former Duhawk?!?!
Sioux City...close to Lemars, right? You ever heard of any of the Hessinius brothers? They were on my wrestling team at Loras. All 4 of the Hessinius boys I wrestled with were total studs. Three of them were brothers from Lemars and the other 1 was a cousin from Spencer...One bro was a high school state champ, the rest were place-winners in HS. Side story about the state champ (probably all of you will not give a shit about this, so feel free to just stop reading): The state champ was in my bracket at state wrestling as a 7th grader. Iowa youth state wrestling has 8 districts with the top 4 qualifying, making each bracket at state a 32-man bracket. Anyways, 7th grade was a very frustrating year for me. I was in the 100 lb. division and a lot of the 8th graders in my bracket had already begun or been through puberty at that point. I was still a boy without a hint of my testosterone being kicked in. This Hessinius guy from Lemars (who eventually won state) was one of the most intimidating looking 8th graders I have ever seen in my entire life (to this day). The resembled a 30 year old man to me at the time. I remember looking at a lot of the guys in my bracket and thinking to myself, "ok, there are some MEAN looking 8th graders in this bracket, but if I have to wrestle that huge, Sylvester Stallone-looking Hessinius guy, I think I may literally start crying when I step on the mat." Hessinius ended up being upset in the semis by the guy who beat me in the finals at districts, and I was upset in the semis as well, by the guy who placed behind me (3rd) at districts and had never beaten me prior to that. Hessinius went on to finish 4th, I went on to lose the rest of my matches and finished 6th. I remember sitting next to him while waiting to step on the podium and he initiated conversation with my intimidated ass and was cool as hell, but his voice resembled Mr. T to me at the time. So 7 years later, we are on the same wrestling team at Loras College. He was a 126 lber and I was a 174 pounder (still growing) who had to cut to get to 197 my last year wrestling there. Obviously, I had outgrown him quite a bit. However, EVERY time I ever interacted with the guy, he still appeared to me as the beastly man I perceived him as when I was a 7th grader. In terms of height, the dude was probably at my upper chest. He STILL seemed like he was taller than me though. It was weird. |

Didn't go there but a good friends brother is the wrestling coach there - wondered if you wrestled. Have a pretty sweet Loras college wrestling hoodie that I'm real proud of.
Sweet! And yes, le mars is 30 miles North from here, but don't know them.

My 8th grade year I placed 4th at 110. The guy who won my bracket was from Sioux City Heelan. His name was Mike Winklepleck...it was his 3rd title. Awesome wrestler. Nice guy. My brother who is 2 years younger than me always had a Patrick Allibone in his bracket who was pretty feisty. Pretty sure he was a Sioux City kid. |

The best pizza I have had was from Gino's East in Chicago.
But I really like the pizza from Grinders in Kansas City. And surprisingly, The Alamo Drafthouse in Kansas City makes really great pizza. When The Alamo was still run by AMC the food sucked, but when The Alamo Drafthouse bought out AMC's half and took full ownership, they pretty much changed everything. |

In perfect honesty the Kirkland brand you can buy fresh from costco is pretty damn tasty for 8 bucks.

Do you mean the frozen ones or the ones they cook in store? I know that they are the same pizza, but there's something about being cooked in a real pizza oven that makes things sooo good.

In Los Angeles, the pizza they offer in the outdoor restaurant is different than the Take & Bake pizza they offer inside the store. Actually, they're quite a bit different.

Gino's east sausage.
What's really cool is they will freeze it and ship it to you, which actually turn out really good. Not quite as being chi-town having one but pretty damn close. |
