Ughhh… I’d hoped for some relief from the heat, but I just checked the Weather Channel’s 10 day forecast and the lowest high temperature was 96. Both Saturday and Sunday of this coming weekend show predicted highs of 101. Ladies, this is definitely a good week to stay cool by putting on a tube top when [...]

First of all, I want to give everyone advance notice:  I’m going to run a contest here.  Contest will be posted Tuesday at 10 AM, with the winner to receive a beer on my tab at the Saucer.  You’ll need to be able to fax the entry to me at my eFax number (most likely an [...]

Last Thursday I rode the elevator up to the Peabody rooftop party, and as I strolled through the crowd, who did I see in the VIP section but Meghan from Kooky Canuck.

Meghan?  REALLY?  Meghan shouldn’t even be a VIP at the $29.95 King’s Court Motel down the street, much less the Peabody.  I guess the hotel [...]

I got asked a dumb question the other day.  I was telling someone that a week and a day from today, Sunday, June 28, I have a wedding to attend at the Cadre Building at 4 PM.

“So I guess you won’t be going to the Saucer like you usually do on Sundays, huh,” was the response.

Okay.  [...]

Lots of news today. I’m starting this post in the morning before work, but I have so much stuff that I’m probably going to have to save it to Drafts and finish it at lunchtime.

The South Main Association had their Main Street cleanup scheduled for last Saturday, but postponed it after storms blew through the night [...]

Lots to do tonight. Let’s take a look at what’s going on…

Time to roll out another new site:

The Gladiator Sandal Boutique sells women’s gladiator sandals in all shapes, sizes, and colors… everything from flat gladiator sandals to knee-high platform gladiator sandals.  Plenty of different brands to choose from.  You know the drill by now… done in association with Amazon.com, in an effort to organize their merchandise in [...]

I got a Facebook message from one of the Saucer managers this morning entitled “Saucer Glom” saying “The Saucer will glom on to those specials this weekend,” he said, referring to Tube Top Night Saturday at Voodoo Room.  “On Friday, anybody in togas will get free cover, and Saturday, tube tops free cover.”  I like it.  [...]
