I went to Southeast Missouri State in Cape Girardeau.. I had friends who lived in St. Louis that I'd go visit every now and then.

My bad on the St. Louis thing...I must have mixed up the commercial with the school comment.

Holy shit! I went to SEMO for 3 semesters (1994-95)...was an RA (or as they call it now--Community Advisor) in Myers Hall for a semester.

Cape was an interesting place, but boring as could be. Then I discovered that the school sucked for my major and high-tailed it back to St. Louis for the rest of my collegiate studies.

Yeah, that stuff's like crack for people who like it. They serve it at all the White Castles around here. I'm not that big a fan of it, but one of my coworkers from our Chicago office brings back cases of the stuff whenever he's in town.

I miss Big Red. They used to sell it (and Big Peach) in one liter bottles at QuikTrip. I used to drink that (and Dr. Pepper) like water.

Unfortunately, my mom couldn't bring any thing like Big Red, or Schlafly Oatmeal Stout, or Jack in the Box tacos out here 2 weeks ago. Damnit! Now I have to wait until I go back to St. Louis, which at this point should be around the 12th of Never.
