And they say blondes aren't smart....

So I took my BF Sam to one of the all time great Memphis watering holes...Alex's Tavern. And we were sitting at the bar, having a cold one, and talking about some of the pictures and stuff hanging on the walls. And on one side there was a picture, but it was blocked by three status. I said "you know who the statues are?", to which Sam immediatly replied "yeah, the 3 stooges"....which of course they weren't. I said take another look, and guess again...she said "oh, the two on the sides are those guys.....Hardy....and....Lewis!" Ahhhh....no. So she wouldn't have to guess anymore, I told her the two on the sides were Laurel and Hardy...and the statue in the middle was W.C. Fields. To which she replied "oh, I thought he was black?"......I must have had a confused look on my face, and she explained she had seen a statue of him in his park on Beale Street, and he looked black. Realizing what she was sayin, and just smiled and said..."hun, that's WC Handy, this is WC Fields, and yes, WC Handy was black....but WC Fields wasn't the father of the blues"

Sam then told me I was to f'ing old, and this was all before her time.

Rock...get me another beer!

Some Obama-isms from the Internet

The latest fashion craze at with your local criminals!




And then, take a look at this picture of Michelle Obama serving at a soup-kitchen for the homeless.....



If this dude is homeless, and needs a government funded (my tax dollars) meal.......why does he have a $300 BlackBerry?

Various Catching Up To Do...

I haven't posted in a while, so while I'm HOME SICK ON MEMORIAL DAY, I thought I'd do some catching up.

First, BBQ Fest 2009 is in the books. It was one of the best years I've had in the 10 + years I've been doing this with Pure Pleasure Porkers. Despite the bad park conditions and threats of bad weather, we lucked out on our booth, had a great spot, and the flooring kept everyone high and dry. We went through some 30 cases of beer, and 1 and 1/2 kegs, and an untallied number of liquor bottles. We also found a new Yucca jug that I think will be with us for years to come. And we finsihed 28th our of 111. However, once again, we took it in the shorts in the blind judging.

A few pics included.



A note of interest, my recent post about Prez Obama got me flagged for 10 days as a spammer site by BlogSpot. I'm hoping this isn't a sign of things to come.

I also got a new toy this week.....

...some extra home protection. Thanks to my buddy John B. for hooking me up!

Well that's all for now.

C ya

This would NEVER happen in Memphis

I saw this on TMZ the other night, and had to check it out. It's apparently legit...too funny...
