I think what he was trying to say is that in other big cities that have the same things year after year, you can't get to them all in the first few years. I've had a lot of fun in Omaha the last 2 years, but It is starting to get dull. If there are a bunch of other things to do, Omaha doesn't advertise them well. I even go out looking for things... read the newspaper, slamomaha.com, these forums.... just running out. Not to say the things that are here aren't any fun, because they are.

That is true that some places and promotors in Omaha don't do much advertising, sometimes I only hear about shows but never saw it in The Reader or online anywhere. Im waiting for Omaha to get a pro basketball team.... a girl can only dream I guess. So yeah, Omaha is a little on the down low, but that could be a good thing too I guess.

I barely remember the racers because I was a little kid, but neither one of those teams are pro.

I HATE that people think that Lancers is even worth going to. It's a bunch of high school kids playing hockey! We actually had the AHL which is the AAA of the NHL and people still thought the Lancers were better hockey. I used to go to Knights games all the time and it was awesome. I can't get into UNO or Lancers hockey.

Cow Tipping is always fun on a saturday night!!

Cow tipping is an art in itself. It began many years ago, when a young boy of the name of Tipper decided to make a cow more comfortable as it slept. Thinking that standing while sleeping was cruel and unusual, he set out one night to give 'ol Betsy a rest. Tragically, Tipper fell into a thick cow pie as he tried making his way back to his warm bed. He ended up going to the hospital with a severe paranoia of cows. The next day, his family had a big steak dinner.

For generations after, Nebraskans have engaged in this heightening activity. Young children dream of it during their algebra classes, the rites to passage so close and in their reach. As the 16th birthday approaches, all your peers will gather and perform this ritual with breathless anticipation.



Supplies
2 12-packs of Beer
Black clothing
Boots (Around cow pastures, wear boots that can be hosed down)
Wire cutters and a flashlight
Your friends Dave and Jerry


Setup
Drive Dave and Jerry to the pasture, hand them the beer.
Wait ten minutes for them to finish up both packs.
Help Dave from truck.
Help Dave review his lunch.
Place wire cutters in back pocket, and make sure all black clothing is being worn.
Quietly approach fence to pasture.
Ask Dave for the flashlight. Run back to truck and retrieve flashlight.
Cut fencing and wiggle through.
Stay hunkered down and try not to giggle as you approach the nearest cow.
Beam flashlight quickly into the cow's eyes. If no reaction, you are good to go. Skip ahead to Tipping the cow.
If cow bucks, sending Jerry screaming like a woman back to the truck, go on to next step.
Run after Jerry, tumble him to ground and hold hand over his mouth.
Wait 20 minutes for Farmer to look out the front door and Holler at wolves.
Find another cow, repeating the last 5 steps until you find one sleeping.


Tipping the cow
Have Dave hold the bottom of cow on one side. (Bottom of the cow is right under the ribs, and on the soft part of the belly.)
Have Jerry beside you, with both palms against cows upper back on opposite side. (See Figure 1)
Count to three, and PUSH!
Back up quickly from the cow, as its legs will fly up toward your face.
Slap high fives to Jerry and shout your success.
Find out what whimpering sound is.
With Jerry's help, pull Dave out from under the cow.
Run from farmer. (Duck when you hear shots in the air.)
Jump into the truck and speed away into the night.
