This morning I took a walk up the Main Street Mall, and saw the business pictured below in the old Daily Grind space at Main and Adams, in the ground floor of the Claridge House:<\/p>\n

$\"\"$ <\/a>

The name of the business is the Sidi Bou Cafe and Hookah Lounge<\/span>. Looks like you can grab some good coffee there, or smoke flavored tobacco from one of their hookahs, or eat a “Steak-Eze” or gyro sandwich, or grab breakfast. Not sure of their hours or if they have Wi-Fi; I’ll check.<\/p>\n

– WOOHOO!!!! The project I’ve been working on just got put on hold. That means I have the day free to work on my own websites. Got a good one that a friend and I plan on rolling out soon… if you plan on buying a TV, might want to wait until we get this site online, you’ll learn a lot from it.<\/p>\n

– The Rapscallions took another third place in trivia last night, brining our gift certificate total to $45. What happened to the good old days, when we won every week? Last night was The Adventures of the Nuh-Uh Family. The Nuh-Uh Dad came through with a couple of educated guesses that turned out to be correct. The Nuh-Uh Girl put ketchup on her salad and ate it like dressing, making me re-think her position as our group’s culinary expert. The Nuh-Uh Sister was a Trivia Traitor this week, playing with her Teaching Fellows team instead of us, and they took first place. Later in the evening the Nuh-Uh Sister and her adopted team performed “Ice Ice Baby.” Well, it was amateur night. I looked around the room for a gong to hit but couldn’t find one.<\/p>\n

– One more reason why I hate Peyton Manning: He made a high-profile donation to Fred Thompson’s campaign this week.<\/p>\n

– Congrats to my favorite blogger\/MILF on her new Downtown job that starts Monday. Not only is this good news for her, but also good news for Downtown Huey’s which will likely see a huge increase in liquor sales in the lunch and early evening hours. If any of the Downtown Huey’s bartenders read my blog: Better brush up on the recipe for “grape koolaid”<\/p>\n

– In the news: Jerry “The King” Lawler was just found not guilty of assaulting another wrestler during a match in Tunica. The other wrestler, Sal Corrente, claimed that Lawler hit him with a non-scipted punch. This has to be one of the stupidest court cases ever.<\/p>\n

– Coming soon: Info on a party Downtown a week from Sunday (August 12) that looks like it could be really good – good enough that you might want to take the 13th as a vacation day.<\/p>\n

Outta here for now.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
