One of the widgets I have on my Google homepage is called “How To of the Day.” It’s usually been guy-centric, with lots of articles on how to build stuff and fix stuff. But it looks like they’re trying to appeal to women more – two of their recent articles were How to measure your bra size<\/a> and How to just be friends with a member of the opposite sex<\/a>. <\/p>\n

I also have a “How Stuff Works” widget on my Google page, and they’ve got a bizarre article up as well – How Beijing Works<\/a>. Haven’t you always wondered how the capital of China works? I know I have.<\/p>\n

My quest to remain drunk all weekend seems to be going well. I’m now at the Saucer. I’m still in a foul mood thanks to the stupidity of Memphis voters. <\/p>\n

Think I’ll wear the gold disco outfit to Raiford’s tonight. I need to walk down to Tater Red’s at some point this afternoon. I don’t have a pimp hat that matches the gold outfit, so someone suggested that I get a gold feather boa to wear with it instead. Tater’s would be the obvious place to find one. Last night I got accused of “peacocking” a couple of times, so now I know who else watches reality shows on VH1.<\/p>\n

Since the Saucer has been doing a lot better about keeping the indoor room nonsmoking, I’ll give ’em a break and promote tonight’s event… Downtown legend Mikey will dress up as a monk and bless the Oktoberfest kegs this afternoon around 5:30ish. He thought he’d be handed a script, but no, they’ve given him free reign to say whatever he wants. That should be interesting indeed.<\/p>\n

They’re doing their deal again where they’ve designated a beer for each team in the baseball playoffs, and when a team is playing you get a biggie (23 oz.) of that beer at regular price, like they do during Happy Hour. The teams and their beers:<\/p>\n
