Last week’s The Iowa Pork Producers announcer their annual winner for the best tenderloin in the state of Iowa. Unfortunately, they always get it wrong. Wrong! I can point to the year The Lucky Pig won. A disaster of a tenderloin. Or even worse is the year that Gramma’s Ktichen… Read More »Tenderloin Appreciation Society – Nick’s
I wasn’t sure how POP ART would go over as a WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE theme as it is a little bit harder to wrap one’s mind around than the typical theme. However, there was still good participation. I love it! Although I good stand here and talk all tommyrot about… Read More »WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE – WEEK 58 – POP ART
I’ve fallen way behind due to internet issues, some sickness, lots of energy spend on some Youth Group stuff, lots of energy spent on Methodist Men stuff, tenderloining, birthday celebrations, and some general laziness.

Last Wednesday before Youth Group, a hearty clan of painters painted the south wall of the old Salvation Army Building. This phase is just to make it less of an eyesore.

The 16th was The Event Formerly Known as the Methodist Men Steak Fry. I think it was an overall success. We served 51 smoked pork chops and 2 hot dogs.

Last night was the annual Hayrack Ride for the Youth Group. Unfortunately, I brought the wrong lens and the wrong flash, but here are a few pictures from the evening.

Here is the collection of CHILDREN photos that didn’t make the cut for this week’s WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE: Thanks for taking the time to mock this pathetic collection of losers.
Maybe there was a slight dip this week, but that was to be expected, since CHILDREN are so very, very creepy. I mean, we’ve all seen the groundbreaking documentary CHILDREN OF THE CORN. We know what they’re capable of doing. Don’t get me started on the companion documentary VILLAGE OF… Read More »WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE – WEEK 56 – CHILDREN
I took these pictures way back in March. Poor bridge. How I miss it.

I’m sure I mixed up that pro wrestling reference. I don’t watch pro wrestling. I went to college. That being said, here are some pictures from Baby Got Rack’s day at the Pufferbilly Day Barbecue Contest: Marcus whipping up a batch of Marfins. Not to be confused with Scuffins. Which… Read More »Can You Smell What the People’s Champ is Cookin’?

A new year. Well, a new 52 weeks. I’m excited for what this new year will bring. But you don’t want to listen to me talk all tommyrot about my aspirations for the next 52 weeks.
