One of the waitresses at the Saucer saw my “Obama for President” sign on my blog.\u00a0 She said she’s for Obama too, and wanted to know where she could get a “my daughter’s for Obama” shirt.\u00a0 I surfed the web and couldn’t find one, but I had a backup plan… my friends Pete and Josh who run a screen printing business in the basement of Winfield’s (Madison at Main).\u00a0 They can put most anything on a shirt.\u00a0 So I gave her their number.\u00a0 If you need custom Obama gear made, stop by Winfield’s (open Mon-Sat 11ish to 7) and ask for them.\u00a0 They do other custom printing too, not just political stuff.<\/p>\n

I bet they could even do an Obama tube top if you brought them one.\u00a0 You can buy solid-colored tube tops here<\/a>, and then take them into Winfield’s for customizing.\u00a0 A friend of mine is doing an Obama meetup 3 hours before my TubeTopalooza party later this month.\u00a0 One outfit, two events.<\/p>\n

The same friend bought a Wii video game console tonight.\u00a0 He told me he’s heard there’s a pole dancing game coming out for the Wii.\u00a0 Is that true?\u00a0 If so, I know what the next online store I build will be selling.\u00a0 Plus I’ll buy a Wii myself and start inviting “friends” over to play video games.<\/p>\n

$\"\"$ <\/a>On the way home, I ran into BFF of the Month candidate Melissa, working one of her two jobs out on a restaurant patio.\u00a0 “Where did you go last night?” she asked.\u00a0 “I went home and put on a tube top just for you.\u00a0 But you were gone when I came back.\u00a0 I had it on and got tipped $5 at the Saucer, and I don’t even work there!”<\/p>\n

“I didn’t know you were coming back,” I replied.\u00a0 “I drank 4 Flying Mooses from 6 to 7, and then three 34 oz. beers.\u00a0 By 11:30 I was done.\u00a0 But, if I had known you were coming back in a tube top, I would’ve stayed out until 6 AM to see it!”<\/p>\n

Then Melissa had a brilliant idea.\u00a0 “Maybe I should start carrying a spare tube top around in my purse.\u00a0 That way, when I see you, I can run into the bathroom and change into it.”\u00a0 That, my friends, is the voice of pure genius right there.\u00a0 She earned herself massive bonus points in her quest to become BFF of the Month for July.\u00a0 “And I wasn’t even trying!” she said.\u00a0 That’s the best part of it all.\u00a0 The best BFFs naturally know how to be great BFFs.\u00a0 They don’t have to try.\u00a0 Meanwhile her competition is going around naming their cats after bums.\u00a0 It reminds me of when Memphis was leading Michigan State 50-20 at halftime in the NCAA playoffs.\u00a0 It may not be over, but it’s going to take a superhuman effort for any of the other candidates to come out a winner.<\/p>\n

I haven’t heard anything from Memphis in May people about the rumors about BBQ Fest.\u00a0 However, I did hear from several people who heard the same thing I did, and sent me “Is this what you heard?” e-mails.\u00a0 I’ll give MIM until Thursday morning to tell me what’s going on, otherwise I’m going to post what I heard.<\/p>\n

Guess I’ll go to bed now.\u00a0 Tomorrow I get to take the car in to get inspected and sit in a long line during my lunch hour.\u00a0 Did I mention that I never bothered to get the A\/C fixed?\u00a0 Yeah tomorrow is really going to suck.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
