You Will be A-MAIZE-D!!!!!


Sorry for the corn joke but I just drove 1 hour into the depths of South Dakota on my way to the Corn Palace ( it is a little hard to see but i am in that picture on the bottom left in the brown shirt), and every 10 miles or so there were these signs advertising the Palace and they were all bad corn jokes(We are all Ears, that was my second favorite). So after all the hype the Corn Palace was actually pretty lame, it is really only like a few murals ( all made of corn) slapped to the side of this building. Maybe there were untold treasures of super corn coolness inside, maybe inside is where all the great Corn Palace corn is hidden, but it was closed, apparently it is not peak tourist time in SD, but you could of fooled me there are people everywhere ( I maybe saw 25 people in the whole town).

Who comes up with these places?? I just don't get it, I guess the better question is who goes to these places ( besides me of course, a side note I had all the guys at work looking at the Corn Palace Live Web Cam when I was there, they all had a good laugh as I was live from the Corn Palace). I drove past the worlds largest Steer head sculpture, no joke, it was huge. I just don't get how one day a guy or girl wakes up and says, " I am going to build the world's one and only Corn Palace, or Steer Head, it just bottles the mind. Bottles the mind , that was so funny, it is from Blades of Glory, with Will Ferrell and it is super funny check it out.

On a final thought, South Dakota is barren, like a 95 year old Nun barren, there is nothing here, no people, no trees, no hills, no mountains, nothing, except for a Steer Head sculpture and a building covered in Corn.

P.S. apparently the Holiday Inn serves breakfast and according to the nice front desk lady there will be " eggs and such, and some kind of meat, so you definitely want to be here for that." It was so classic, heaven forbid I miss the meat.
