Let's hope so. I want to see this logo on stuff.

Jim???? The Dragon - - uh, C.O.R.N. Wagon????

 

That is a great logo!

 

That IS a great logo! Jim told me at MOTD-2006 that he would be at MITM with his trailer in tow!

 

C.O.R.N. wagon/cart had not thought of that one yet JSouz.
Yes I will be arriving sometime on Thursday. Hope to have a few C.O.R.N. members represent this year.

 

a 3 ft CORN logo on the Dragon Wagon? Might bring smiles...

anyone interested in sweetcorn? I may be able to aquire some for the trip.....By that time I should be tired of it. There is corn everywhere I can't get away from it.

 

Hi, Jim! What about using some excess corn for this? You could organize a Corn Toss Tourney!

 

I had an ex who had some strange need to buy several cans of corn every time she went out shopping. When we split up I had like 40 cans of corn! They boyscouts got a lot of cans from me when they came around that year. =P

 

Now that is an unusual fetish!

 

I think I will stick with the corn toss instead of the other name. Could take that way out of context.

 

Zyamfier...how would I go about joining CORN? I seriously want a shirt with that corncob MINI on it!

 

C.O.R.N.holer. Hmmmm.....

Jim, make up some shirts....bring em with....I sense market demand swelling....

JPS

 

Well, I got my masters at the University of Nebraska, and all my in-laws are there, so...

Zyam, bring shirts if you have them. And decals.

 

Would I be considered a CORN member even though I live in Lincoln, NE. Cause I really want to be part of CORN....that cracks me up...so clever....I just need a name now to start a club over by Lincoln and Omaha.

 

no matter who, no matter where. We wear our colors proud.

Contact Jim Peterson (Zyamfier here in NAM) as he is the self-imposed, self-appointed President and Spiritual leader of CORN Intergalactic.

He will set you up.

Jimmy Cracked CORN. Do you care?

 

Yeah, one of many.

 

I will be there and I can't wait. Thinking I will need to depart on the afternoon of the 9th due to the looming possibility that work will call that night if I don't get out of town. Sooooo...... Should arrive sometime shortly after noon on the 10th. Look for me but be careful of the reflection it can blind you.

Jimmy.

 

If you want to bring some of that good Nebraska corn, we would certainly appreciate it.

 

up until a week ago I had all the corn I could stand. However, the season is so short for GOOD corn that most of what would be considered worth bringing has been picked and canned or frozen at this point. I will see what I can do but even the farmers have stopped selling at the roadside sites. Bummer, guess this means Fall is almost here.

 

with all those ears sticking out.

Call ahead when you get to Denver. We will be looking out for you. We have a very special parking spot picked out....

The last few years, there were good prices on some pretty good corn around here before now. No good sales this year though. Every time I mention it to my wife (born and raised in Omaha, grandparents and uncle and all cousin farming in Blair, you know) she says "Well, it's not really corn season yet."
Now you're telling me we missed it. I'll have words with her tonight.

 

between FEED corn and SWEET corn.

Animals eat Feed corn. Peoples eat sweet corn. From Wikipedia:

Sweetcorn (or sweet corn, also known as sugar corn), is a hybridized variety of maize (Zea mays), specifically bred to increase the sugar content. Corn originated in Mesoamerica and spread to the rest of the world after European contact with the Americas in the late 1400s and early 1500s. Sweetcorn is commonly known as simply corn in the United States, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. In Brazil it is known as "Milho Verde" (Green Corn). The fruit of the sweetcorn plant is the corn kernel, a type of fruit called a caryopsis. The ear is a collection of kernels on the cob. The ear is covered by tightly wrapped leaves called the husk. Silk is the name for the styles of the pistillate flowers, which emerge from the husk. The husk and silk are removed by hand, before boiling but not before roasting, in a process called husking or shucking.
Sweetcorn is commonly eaten as a vegetable, rather than a grain. The cobs are picked for relatively rapid distribution (or frozen in this 'soft' state) before the fruits mature into hard grains. The kernels are boiled or steamed and eaten as a side dish, sometimes with butter, and are sometimes used as a pizza topping (in the UK at least). Corn on the cob is a sweetcorn cob that has been boiled, steamed, or grilled whole; the kernels are then bitten off the cob with the teeth, also commonly served with butter. Creamed corn sometimes refers to sweetcorn kernels that are cut when removing from the cob to free the juices, and other times to a side dish made with corn and milk.

 

Actually, no. I already knew the difference between feed corn and sweetcorn. I went to an agricultural high school and spent several years living in Nebraska where the only things more sacred than corn are beef and college football.

 

Somehow one of my employees found some yesterday so I have to ask him where he got it. However, I had some 4 days ago that was the last from my stash and it was kind of on the past mature side. I will see what I can drum up out here and bring what I can.
