Memphis Limelight has a new pic of the panhandler who goes around Downtown trying to sell free publications, asking for a dollar “donation for St. Jude.” Here’s a link to the pic and to a post about the Memphis Limelight blogger’s encounter with St. Jude bum this past weekend. Going around using the ruse of a children’s charity to panhandle is about as low as you can go.
Oh, speaking of St. Jude… the team of St. Jude scientists and researchers showed up at the Saucer for trivia again last night, and for a second week got their ass handed to them by the legendary Rapscallions. Another first place, bringing our gift certificate total for the next party to $100. I heard that some of the St. Jude team members were afraid to come back and get beaten and then blogged about again. Waaaaah!
We barely squeaked past the Weiss Asses to take first. I was surprised we did, because the final 30-point bonus was to name the 3 men who formed the First Triumvirate in Rome in 60 BC. Most of the Weiss Asses were in high school around that time, but maybe they weren’t paying attention to current events. By the way, the correct answer was Julius Caesar, Pompey, and Crassius. I was told that no one got Crassius (we got the other two). A lot of teams guessed Antony, Lepidius, and Octavian (Augustus Caesar), but that was the Second Triumvirate that formed in 44 BC after Julius Caesar’s murder.
