Indecision 2012

Here's a link to an article on Comedy Centra'ls Indecision Blog about Mitchell, SD and... THE CORN PALACE!!!!!!!

Good Ear-ts!

Here's an episode of "Good Eats" with Alton Brown. At about 4:26-4:27 he mentions the Corn Palace and shows a postcard of the mighty palace. Good stuff...

A Prairie Home Corn-panion!

Today's Corny post is brought to you by fellow Corn Palace enthusiast Cody J. Schuler!

It seems that on May 7, 2005 A Prairie Home Companion did their show from the World's Only Corn Palace! It started off with a song about Mitchell and had many references to the Mighty Palace of Corn throughout the show, so it's well worth a listen. Click on any of these words to go to the site and hear it for yourself!

2011 Corn Trek!

Here's some of the pictures I took of the latest in-corn-ation of the Corn Palace on our Spring 2011 trek home.

We start with a pic of the front of the mighty palace itself, and the mascot of this year's trip: Stick Stickly.

Next, we see the seldom-photographed back of the Corn Palace

Here's the back corner. You can see the dome in the background.

This is a picture of the middle of the basketball court floor in the gut of the Corn Palace.


Here's a shot of the sticker, label things you see on all of the city vehicles.

You see these on the bottom of almost all of the streetlights downtown.

And finally my favorite picture of the bunch.

MST3K!!!!

Crow wants to be on display at the Corn Palace when he's dead.

The Simpsons!

This wonderful piece of Corn Palaceia is from The Simpsons Comic #69 (I scanned it from the "Jam-Packed Jamboree" trade paperback). It was near the end of the book and the strip's title is "How Marge Got Her Curtains Back". In it Homer somehow caught the corn cob print curtains above the kitchen sink in the garbage disposal. Marge made those herself. She was upset and ordered more corn cob print fabric. After two bolts of the wrong prints she got the little bueat seen in the picture above. She should be happy! I would love to have a mini Corn Palace for my kitsch-ian!

Impending Doom!

Here's my tribute to the Corny Palace from my weekly web comic "Impending Doom!". You can see it on the "Impending Doom!" web page here. You can check out more comics while you're there!
