Let me start off by reposting that archive of Dr. King’s speeches. I encourage all my readers to read or listen to one today.
The Grizzlies play the Suns in the MLK Day Game at 5:00. Yes the game is nationally televised on TNT… BUT, did you know Bally Sports Southeast is allowed to co-broadcast this one? Who ya gonna tune into – some national broadcasters ya never heard of, or your friends Pete, Brevin, and Fish? I think it’s 831 on Xfinity.
It’s Prohibition Remembrance Day. Celebrate with a Moonshine Monday shot at Blind Bear.
It’s also International Hot and Spicy Food Day. No Downtown recommendation but I do recommend you go to an Indian joint, order Chicken Tikka Masala, and request it extra spicy. We need an Indian restaurant down here.
I had the strawberry pancakes at Bardog y’day for the first time. Really good. I could have easily eaten them without syrup. Sorry I didn’t get a pic – still figuring out uploading issues.
Penny’s Memphis Tigers improved to 13-5 thanks to a Kendric Davis buzzer-beater for the 61-59 win over Temple. ESPN Bracketology continues to project Memphis as Last Four In.
Keep an eye on the forecast, because storms are likely Wednesday.
Billy Joel impersonating Mick Jagger! Thanks to my friend Randy for informing me of this:
So, there was an exchange between Butt Slut #1 and me at Blind Bear last night that perfectly illustrates the friendship we have:
- I said something INCREDIBLY vulgar to her. Has to do with a line from yesterday’s post and her being a brunette
- Mutual friend: “Paulie, you crossed the line with that one”
- Butt Slut #1: “No, with us there is no line”
- Butt Slut #1 flipped me off
- I flipped Butt Slut #1 off
- Butt Slut #1 wrapped her middle finger around my middle finger and we held middle fingers for a minute
Should I root for the Cowboys tonight in support of her? It goes against the values ingrained in me my entire life. As someone who grew up in Arkansas in the ’70s and ’80s, we were taught to hate all things Texas. But she is a good friend (oops, I mistyped “goof friend.” She’s that too).
You know where I go to celebrate holidays. See you tomorrow.
