I want to start off this Sunday post with a couple of pieces of national recognition for our city. First of all, chef and foodie Andrew Zimmern Instagrammed the following: “@rendezvousmemphis is famous for their ribs. But if you don\u2019t snarfle up their famous sausage you are really missing out”<\/p>\n

I would agree!<\/p>\n

Hero Sports named Memphis the #29 Top College Football Town<\/a>. Football town! How far we have come in just a few years.<\/p>\n

Kooky Canuck’s double-your-dollars gift card sale returns August 29. Any increments in which you want to purchase, with a $10 minimum.<\/p>\n

A couple of hours to our west, Little Rock hosts the World Cheese Dip Championship<\/a> on October 20 at the Clinton Presidential Center. $10 gets you chips and sampling of all the cheese dips that are competing.<\/p>\n

A woman jumped into the Mississippi River<\/a> at the foot of Beale Street Friday night.<\/p>\n

For my fellow pro wrestling fans, here’s a video of an angle I had heard about my entire life, but never saw until yesterday. Junkyard Dog and Buck Robley vs. Fabulous Freebirds Terry Gordy and Buddy Roberts with Michael Hayes at ringside, no-disqualification match for the Mid-South Tag Team Championship, June 9, 1980, New Orleans. The Freebirds blind JYD with Freebird Hair Cream.<\/p>\n

<\/iframe><\/p>\nGordy was easily the best worker in that match. He was NINETEEN at the time.<\/p>\nPoynter has an excellent article about the soon-to-come online publication <a href=\"https:\/\/www.poynter.org\/news\/memphis-non-profit-site-will-launch-staff-25-and-huge-war-chest\">The Daily Memphian<\/a>.<\/p>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/events\/1352758 141534920\/\">Drink & Draw<\/a> returns to the Ghost River taproom August 10. I’m just going to paste in the description:<\/p>\n<blockquote>Drink-N-Draw Gameshow is back at Ghost River this month with night of fun, drawing games, and gold-spray-painted prizes. What is Drink-N-Draw? Hosted by Eric C, it’s part Gameshow, part Art Class, and ALL GOOD! Great for artists, non-artists, singles, couples, and your mom. Lots of Prizes for Best and Worst drawings. $5 to play, we’ll supply everything you need <img src=\"http:\/\/i2.wp.com\/www.paulryburn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/plugins\/classic-smilies\/img\/icon_wink.gif?w=840\" alt=\";)\" class=\"wp-smiley\" style=\"height: 1em; max-height: 1em;\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/p><\/blockquote>\nCounterchekist, one of my favorite Twitter follows in the intelligence community, tweeted this yesterday:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-lang=\"en\">\nFEATHERS24 you are cleared for takeoff on runway 1.

Runway 1 indicates a major figure – Michael Flynn and Paul Manafort were runway 1. I’m guessing FEATHERS24 is Roger Stone. I would love for it to be Don Jr. though.<\/p>\nTime for D-RANKS with B-RAD at Pontotoc Lounge brunch.
