There’s a kernel of truth to what she said.

I think the art is like Van Gogh’s, the ear has been removed.

That’s a maizing!

I remember going to the Corn Palace as a kid. Took pictures of it with my little Brownie box camera.

the artist is outstanding in his field…

and the murals at The Potato Palace have eyes.

Such a corny joke.

(I’ve done it, so now the rest of you don’t have to wonder whether you should.)

That’s amaizing!

Same thing if you tell secrets in a cornfield.

So what’s the artwork look like at the Cow Palace?

We’ll have to tell the KERNEL about this place!

Thats a-maize-ing

i wonder how many times that’s been said by people thinking they thought of it first.

The Corn Palace is a multi-purpose arena/facility located in Mitchell, South Dakota, United States. It serves as a venue for concerts, sports events, exhibits and other community events. It is a popular tourist destination (great place to stop and stretch on your way to the Black Hills and Painted Desert) and is visited by up to 500,000 people each year. The building is in the Moorish Revival style and is covered with murals and designs made from corn and other grains. The original Mitchell Corn Palace was built in 1892 to showcase the rich soil of South Dakota. It was rebuilt in 1905 when Mitchell tried to become the state capital. And again in 1921. The Russian-style onion domes and Moorish minarets were added in 1937. A new design is constructed each year, with designs created by local artists. Beginning in 2018, designs have been created by Dakota Wesleyan University students. Twelve naturally-occurring shades of corn are grown by local farmers to create the artwork. Artists’ drawings are transferred to black tar paper labeled with codes corresponding to colors, providing a “corn-by-numbers” pattern showing where each colored cob should be nailed. Corn cobs are split in two lengthwise and nailed to the exterior of the building, using approximately 1.5 million nails and 325,000 ears of corn.

Neat place to visit when the murals are done. Really imaginative art works.

Silly question, Pop

Where’s Charlie doing a remote broadcast for KORN.

With all the bad puns already posted, I’ll just have to cob-ble something together.

Wasn’t that where Kite Man and Poison Ivy would have tied the knot in Harley Quinn?
