Below is a picture of New Guinea, the second largest island in the world, split by the countries of Indonesia and Papua New Guinea.
Does anyone else think it looks a lot like Meatwad from the TV cartoon Aqua Teen Hunger Force? Seriously, put a couple of eyes and a mouth on it and it’s totally Meatwad… if I had a little more time this morning I’d Photoshop it.
I’ve been told that the neon signs are now hanging in the new Downtown Blue Monkey location. Hopefully that means they’re getting close.
Been making a lot of fun of people who hang out at the Cordova Fox & Hound lately… well, this morning I hit their website and took a look at their “December Favorites.” One of the products they’re pushing hard this month is BUD LIGHT. Oh. Okay. Now I get why people go there. Who wouldn’t get all excited about a bar that features Bud Light as one of its most outstanding offerings? John D: “Wha… Wha happened? Paul, can you give me driving directions to Cordova?”
However, I’ll be at Circa this evening, where I’ll be able to get a beer that actually has FLAVOR for $2.50 during their happy hour. Here’s a list of the beers they carry, all of which are on the special.

Happy hour runs from 4 to 7, but I’ll be there from the time I get off work (5ish) until I have to leave to do trivia night at the Saucer (6:40ish). Here’s a picture from the future (did you know this blog was clairvoyant?), from about 9:00 this evening, of Pete the Trivia Guy announcing the Rapscallions as the first-place team.
Born on this day: Pro wrestler “Stone Cold” Steve Austin (1964) and singer Christina Aguilera (1980). Also my next-door neighbor in the dorm in college, who got his 15 minutes of fame on the cover of the Memphis Flyer last week.
Time to hit Publish and go to work. It’s going to take at least a liter of Mountain Dew to turn me into a productive human being this morning.
