Damn rooftop.  Time to go to the liquor store.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; <span style=\"font-style:italic;\">Friday<\/span> I&#8217;ll go to the liquor store.  Tomorrow (Thursday) I&#8217;m determined to forego my own rooftop for the first time in a month and go over to the Peabody to hit on scantily clad bimbos.  I know some of my No.10 neighbors read this; if anyone wants to come with me shoot me an e-mail or call.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; I saw a falcon.  It perched on our roof for a while, then flew over to the Madison and perched there.  All the other species of birds attacked it, except the pigeons which are too dumb.  A few years ago the city bought some falcons to try and control the pigeon population.  From what I can tell it hasn&#8217;t worked.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Here&#8217;s a quiz.  This will be a learning experience for all of you but for one of my neighbors in particular.  Won&#8217;t say which neighbor, but I will say that she had a birthday in the past week.  Okay, here goes.  You&#8217;re leaving town, and you have a plane ticket to fly to another city.  About 60-90 minutes before the scheduled departure time you should<\/p>\n<p>A) take a nap because you&#8217;re hung over from the wine you drank 2 days ago<br \/>B) chill out to your Jack Johnson CD<br \/>C) GO TO THE AIRPORT!!!!!!<br \/>D) go to Memphis Pizza Cafe for pizza and beer, beer, beer.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; I mean, really.  How do you FORGET to go to the airport&#8230; If they ever bring back the TV show <span style=\"font-style:italic;\">Three&#8217;s Company<\/span> for new episodes, I know someone who should try out for the part of Chrissy.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; I guess then I would have to be Larry, the horny neighbor.  Actually, that&#8217;s okay, I could totally get into hanging out at the Regal Beagle.  I need a good bar to hang out at.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; I mean, other than the Monkey<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; And the Tap Room<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; And the Saucer<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; And Sleep Out&#8217;s<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; And Swig<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; And the Diamond<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; And Earnestine &amp; Hazel&#8217;s<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; And Raiford&#8217;s<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; (Interrupted this journal entry to go drink two mugs of beer at the Tap Room.  But I&#8217;m home now, and damn glad that Sam Walton, genius that he was, decided to carry 12-packs of corn dogs in his stores before he died.  Mmmm&#8230; corn dogs)<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Holy shit!  Buckley&#8217;s closed!  They had some really good steaks, and reasonably priced.  The filet with a side of mushrooms&#8230; oh yeah.  And the Buckley&#8217;s Buds?  Good stuff.  There&#8217;s a note on the door:  &#8220;Thank you downtown for nine years&#8230; we&#8217;ve moved to 7213 East Bumblefuck Drive.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Or was it &#8220;Germantown Parkway&#8221;&#8230; meh, what&#8217;s the dif<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; And changing the conversation to restaurants not nearly as good&#8230; did Taco Bell just totally run out of ideas with this new CrunchWrap Supreme?  I mean, it looks like every bad idea they&#8217;ve had in the past 10 years, all wrapped into one.  And, Taco Bell being part of a corporation, the CrunchWrap was probably one of several potential new items, and it was voted the best by a focus group.  Just think how much the other items must have sucked!<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; I miss retro Taco Bell&#8230; the original Enchirito topped with lots of cheese and a few black olives and onions&#8230; the Beef Burrito&#8230; the MexiMelt&#8230; the Mexican Pizza&#8230; that Mexican hamburger thing they had.  The Taco Bell menu circa 1985 was damn near perfect.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Then again&#8230; they have innovated over the years.  When the 7-layer burrito came out I had to have one every day for about a month in a row.  And the chalupa is a thing of beauty.  Gorditas, eh, not so much, I could take or leave them.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; According to the Memphis Flyer, the new exercise craze is erotic dancing &#8211; dancing like you&#8217;re a stripper, with poles and everything as props.  They wrote an article on it this week.  Perhaps some of my neighbors who are classically trained in dance will consider branching out.  It&#8217;s important to be well rounded, you know!<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Back to Three&#8217;s Company for a minute&#8230; Know who I really thought was hot on that show?  Not Chrissy, but her cousin Cindy.  Remember her?  The tall blonde?  Her legs went on for days, and she&#8217;d always wear those midriff tops what were just baaaaaarrrely long enough &#8211; until she got excited and started jumping up and down.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; And then there&#8217;s Janet&#8230; girl next door who could TOTALLY work a pair of tight jeans.  Bailey Quarters from WKRP deserves to be mentioned for the same reasons.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; All right&#8230; just finished my corn dog, so it&#8217;s time for bed.  Aren&#8217;t you glad you took the time to read this?  Back tomorrow or the next day.  Enjoy the rest of your week!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8211; Both magnums of wine are gone now. Damn rooftop.
