Ohhh. If death metal isn’t your thing. Try some Ween.

I think my indica is hitting deep. Also, you know is fun? Death metal.

So many Americans have such a poor insight into what Chinese food is because it quickly became a suddenly altered genre so quickly. It’s what Taco Bell is to true Mexican food but worse.

I have not eaten at Corner but the menu presents as much more real Chinese on the mainland. I’m ok if it’s Cantonese based and not…Northern or Western Chinese. Much the same as I would be ok with knowing it’s “American” but really Louisiana food vs Texas BBQ or upper Midwestern hearty meals or East Coast a mix of genres from Italian to who knows.

A lot of people like to shit on Papa John (I’ve seen all the videos and believe this was a setup by power/money hungry folks) but this dude was not just a pizza autist but someone trying to get cleaner and less processed ingredients in his pizza and was basically finding it hard to find food scientists and clean ingredient sources .

So much of not just pizza but food is over processed ingredients and seed/plant/vegetable oils… all BAD for you.

I eat about a meal and a half a day of a clean diet generally without that stuff and am satiated. I used to eat normal “American” classics and fast food non-stop and always be hungry. Do I spend $10 a day to be healthier and eating better or $10 for a SINGLE meal and feel like hell and trapped in a cycle? I pass by so many things I used to love in the store and don’t feel bad…I feel better .

That's the one.

I don't know about south siders and kc/stl people but I grew up nearby and it was popular with central grads from my era. And now with their kids. Drury and CHS have some ties because of their proximity. Can't speak to their academics personally but my Rolla roommate did his pre engineering there and he was well prepared. They have a great radio station.

Not sure what you mean by on an island but they were always just part of the neighborhood.

Flossy used to call me "podcast boy," and would call back the 911 General order right when I walked in. The best.

Thank you. I love finding "new" music.

Good ole podunk Cabool, no hospital, colleges, or ambulance but a radio station.

They are expensive tuition wise. So…you had better know your funding ahead of time. They are private so there are no state funds subsidizing like at MSU or OTC.

They are on an island where they are but they physically and financially but clearly have a few thousand kids in the community. Most people who have been here will know about them as a name, very few will have sent kids there unless they are well off Southsiders or well off families from KC/STL, etc.

Their sports program, generally do well at the D2 level and you will frequently see on a ratio basis more Drury fans than MSU fans. The womens bb program has been basically top notch…an .833 winning percentage over 20ish years. Mens is not as good but has won a D2 national championship. Soccer is decent.

Yeah I think a quarter of the friends I made there (some of which I ended up talking to regularly, including my now-husband lolll) ended up going to Drury.

If nothing else, their youth programs are a fantastic advertisement 😂

I emailed the university president prob a couple years ago…there are some great stations on the student level…and their radio station is worth keeping. Radio is all but a dead career but they provide a diff set of music generally. KMNR is legendary from Mo S and T in Rolla. Drury has a genre of music but KMNR gets wild hours of all kinds of stuff. KZ88 in Cabool and KDHX are also good indy stations. KEXP in Seattle is a good one too.

I’m currently attending Drury University. I agree with the general consensus that Drury is a small school that isn’t a massive part of the Springfield.

I personally like the small size of the school both student population and campus. I kinda wish I went somewhere like MSU but Drury is also the only college I’ve ever attended so I’m only comparing Drury to what I think other colleges are like.

Overall Drury is a great college, especially if you play a sport or are in some club.

I went to the summer programs as well! and quite a few I knew from it ended up going to Drury for college, it’s such a small university that campus feels like its own little bubble.

Yes, sometimes if people post about chain restaurants that aren’t ~gourmet~ or local, everyone jumps in to say how much better some other place is.

Thanks for this, I'll bring this up with my kiddo.

Pay your fee, get your B. This is what I was told Drury was in a nutshell. Most of the locals I knew that went there were rich kids who didn’t want to leave town. That being said I have said heard more good things about the school than bad and know that their alumni are very proud and tight knit.

Anyone can join! No group is to small!

General trivia or specialized like movies/games? Can couples join or do we need a group?

The Big Slice is good.
