Congrats to the Rapscallions on claiming first place AGAIN in trivia.\u00a0 What did I tell you?\u00a0 That’s $350 toward the next party, assuming I get my plate done on time.<\/p>\n

There’s a new bar open at the north end of\u00a0Downtown’s core.\u00a0 It’s in the building next to Cafe Napoleon (block of Main between Adams and Jefferson) and it serves Cafe Napoleon’s menu.\u00a0 The owners are cousins.\u00a0 It’s called 88 Sports Bar, I’m told, and is open Sun-Thur until midnight.\u00a0 Fri-Sat are rentals of the space only.<\/p>\n
(7:53 AM Wed:\u00a0 From this point on it’s no longer a drunk post.\u00a0 Woke up to find a half-finished post, and also a half-finished box of buffalo tenders from Huey’s.\u00a0 That means I must have been out\u00a0past 1:00, as I would not have gone to Huey’s if Big Foot’s kitchen had still been open.)<\/p>\n
After I got done at Saucer trivia, I walked south to Calhoun’s.\u00a0 They have a copy on the wall of the handout Mikey and I gave to the new security patrol people – “our top 10 bums,” with color photos.\u00a0 Hmmm, we need to get a copy of that on the wall of every bar Downtown.<\/p>\n
Max at Calhoun’s tells me that he’s going to start having Cubs watch parties, with $1 Old Style during games.\u00a0 Why the Cubs?\u00a0 Hell if I know.\u00a0 Max is an Arkansas fan so he generally has good taste in teams.<\/p>\n
Which reminds me, I’ve had to face much derision from the Nuh-Uh Girl and Frank that Arkansas lost to North Carolina Sunday.\u00a0 Yeah, that’s shocking, that a #9 seed lost to a #1 seed.\u00a0 Looking forward to watching your #2 Vols go down in flames Thursday night.<\/p>\n
The nice thing about having a popular blog is that readers send me links to things they think I should see.\u00a0 Like yesterday for example – one of my readers sent me a link to a rather embarrassing pic of my BFF.\u00a0 I printed out a copy of it on photo paper and took it to the Saucer yesterday.\u00a0 She wasn’t working, but I showed it to her mini-me and a few other co-workers, as well as a few regulars from the Saucer and Lauren at Calhoun’s.\u00a0 Oh and I showed it to a bum too.\u00a0 General consensus was, “Paul, don’t link to that photo in your blog, she will DIE.”\u00a0 Attn BFF:\u00a0 I suggest you buy me a beer the next time you see me.\u00a0 Because when I get thirsty, I blog.\u00a0 And order T-shirts.<\/p>\n
Here’s a link to an article<\/a> about Lynne Tolley, Jack Daniel’s great-grandniece, who will be hosting a “cooking with Jack” dinner at the Peabody on Thursday.<\/p>\n Also in the news:<\/a>\u00a0 King Willie said that the main reason he ran for re-election was to protect the city from his main opponents in the last election, Chumney and Morris.\u00a0 Yeah, but who’s going to protect us from Willie?<\/p>\n Took some pics of the swollen Mississippi River last night.\u00a0 Will post them as soon as I get them downloaded from my camera.\u00a0 Mud Island has just about been swallowed up.<\/p>\n I’m 50\/50 on whether I’m going to do Itta Bena tonight.\u00a0 May just skip it and go straight to the Saucer.\u00a0 Will play the Window Game if I can find a seat at the window.\u00a0 I need to print up some more scorecards for the game.\u00a0 Right now though, it’s time to go to work so I can pay for all this beer I drink.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Congrats to the Rapscallions on claiming first place AGAIN in trivia.\u00a0 What did I tell you?\u00a0 That’s $350 toward the next party, assuming I get my plate done on time.
