OH GOOD LORD ITS FRIDAYYYY July 31 Links and Banter

Good morning, lads and lasses. I have many wonderful links on tap for you today, primarily as a mea culpa for the pisspoor original article output at this humble blogspot. Yeah, we kind of fell off of the intended schedule. Mistakes were made (by me. Your other dedicated writers are and were very much on top of their shit!). But fear not! I wisely built in a gap week just for this eventuality! (No, I actually just miscounted when scheduling. Bit of a recurring theme, honestly.)

The point, as much as there is one: next week is Corn Week, featuring articles aplenty from Monday to Friday on Iowa, Nebraska, their rivalry, and in-depth discussions of why the Illinois maize product is clearly better than either of them.

Thanks for shooting the shit here, pretending to read the things that are written, sticking around when the editor-otter behind the curtain fucks up, and being good to each other and yourselves in the interim.

Happy Friday, all.
