One of the widgets I have on my Google homepage is called “How To of the Day.” It’s usually been guy-centric, with lots of articles on how to build stuff and fix stuff. But it looks like they’re trying to appeal to women more – two of their recent articles were How to measure your bra size and How to just be friends with a member of the opposite sex.
I also have a “How Stuff Works” widget on my Google page, and they’ve got a bizarre article up as well – How Beijing Works. Haven’t you always wondered how the capital of China works? I know I have.
My quest to remain drunk all weekend seems to be going well. I’m now at the Saucer. I’m still in a foul mood thanks to the stupidity of Memphis voters.
Think I’ll wear the gold disco outfit to Raiford’s tonight. I need to walk down to Tater Red’s at some point this afternoon. I don’t have a pimp hat that matches the gold outfit, so someone suggested that I get a gold feather boa to wear with it instead. Tater’s would be the obvious place to find one. Last night I got accused of “peacocking” a couple of times, so now I know who else watches reality shows on VH1.
Since the Saucer has been doing a lot better about keeping the indoor room nonsmoking, I’ll give ’em a break and promote tonight’s event… Downtown legend Mikey will dress up as a monk and bless the Oktoberfest kegs this afternoon around 5:30ish. He thought he’d be handed a script, but no, they’ve given him free reign to say whatever he wants. That should be interesting indeed.
They’re doing their deal again where they’ve designated a beer for each team in the baseball playoffs, and when a team is playing you get a biggie (23 oz.) of that beer at regular price, like they do during Happy Hour. The teams and their beers:
- Cleveland Indians – Killian’s Red
- Chicago Cubs – Blue Moon
- NY Yankees – Scrimshaw
- Boston Red Sox – Sam Adams Lager
- Colorado Rockies – Old Scratch
- Philadephia Phillies – Anchor Liberty Ale
- LA Angels – Sierra Nevada Brown Ale
- AZ Diamondbacks – Shiner Bock
Based on those beer choices, GO CUBBIES!!! I need to print out their playoff schedule so I can make sure I’m at the Saucer during their games. Then again, I’m damn near always at the Saucer, so I guess it doesn’t matter.
The waitress at whom I always stick my tongue out is working. THHHHHHPPPPPTTTTTT! I did that last night and startled her and she nearly fell on her ass. It was funny.
I’m having a Naked Lion Copper Flask. Naked Lion is the company that wants to eventually build a microbrewery here in Memphis, so I’m sort of supporting the local economy. Besides, I’m quickly getting burned out on these Oktoberfests that they’ve been putting on Fire Sale. I think I’ll have a Foster’s Oil Can next.
I heard that CH Robinson blocked my blog because their employees were spending too much time reading it. Heh.
I shoulda sat on the couch. People like the window seats but the couches have the best view at the Saucer. I see London, I see France, I can see your… BUUUUUUURRRRRRRP. Drinking the Oil Can now. Heard someone say there was a major leak in the bathroom, one of the sinks. I’m going to have to take a major leak in the bathroom myself by the time I finish this Oil Can.
Can you believe this shit won Best Blog? Yeah, me neither.
I have my “I LOVE ROMANIAN GIRLS” T-shirt on today.
One of the members of Snozberry was just in here. He told me they’re playing Pearl’s Oyster House tomorrow night. So that’ll surely be a stop on the “Paul stays drunk all weekend” tour.
Battery’s almost dead. Time to post.
