Special guest post<\/em>
\nby Perjorie T. Roll<\/em><\/p>\n

Greetings and salutations, my fellow citizens of Memphis. I’m Perjorie, Paul’s troll. In case you forgot what I look like, here’s a pic of meeeeeee!<\/p>\n

I was about to tear into a Honey Sriracha hot wing from the Flying Saucer. It was sooooo good. Give them a try if you like spicy food. Christina is working\u00a0 day shift today, maybe I can talk Paul into going to see her!<\/p>\n

Anyway, Paul is taking a little time to put his costume on, so I volunteered to totally bring the blogging excellence today. Paul asked me to make a list of what is going on today, like he did yesterday. There’s less happening than there was yesterday, because Saturday is the big party night, but I’ll see what I can find.<\/p>\n

Atomic Rose – Spooktacular Rainbow Brunch with food service starting at 11 and a drag show hosted by Bella DuBalle at 12:30; bingo with Pattie O’ at 2<\/p>\n

Earnestine & Hazel’s – They have a throwback DJ in the back room (5 Spot) on Sunday nights<\/p>\n

Elmwood Cemetery – True Crimes of Bygone Times: A Cemetery Tour 3-5:30 PM $20 (sold out)<\/p>\n

FedExForum – Memphis Tigers vs. Lane College Dragons, 1 PM<\/p>\n

Tin Roof – Evil Dead Brunch with bottomless mimosas starting at 11 AM<\/p>\n

Wiseacre Downtown – 20% off six-packs sale continues today<\/p>\n

I met some creepy dolls this past week. Would you like to see them?<\/p>\n

$\"\"$ <\/a><\/p>\n

Are you a fan of puppets that look like old people? The Golden Girls Show – A Puppet Parody<\/a> comes to the Halloran Centre next Friday-Sunday. It’s been rescheduled from February 28 when distancing restrictions were still in effect.<\/p>\n

The Silly Goose got new bar stools in yesterday. Here’s me standing on one of them:<\/p>\n

$\"\"$ <\/a><\/p>\n

And here’s me standing next to a goose who’s thinking, “What kind of crack this fool been smokin’.”<\/p>\n

$\"\"$ <\/a><\/p>\n

Paul and I heard several people say they were setting their clocks forward yesterday. Paul asked me to post this public service announcement:<\/p>\n

\n
The time change happens on the first Sunday in November. Today is the last Sunday in October. We’re not in November yet, so no time change this weekend.<\/li>\n
We fall back an hour for the November time change. We spring forward in March.<\/li>\n
Daylight Time ends on the first Sunday in November, and Standard Time begins. Daylight Time returns in March.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
The University of Tennessee Health Sciences Center opened its first Health Hub<\/a> at 534 N. Second. The Health Hub will give people and trolls who live in the Uptown neighborhood better access to health care.<\/p>\n
Here’s me with a fried jalapeno bite from Flying Fish:<\/p>\n
$\"\"$ <\/a><\/p>\n
Memphis 901 FC beat Indy Eleven<\/a> in the final match of the regular season last night. As the third-place time in the USL Eastern Conference’s Central Division, 901 FC will hit the road to play Charlotte Independence, the second-place team in the Atlantic Division in the playoff first round.<\/p>\n
Memphis’ other team playing at home last night, the Grizzlies, didn’t do as well, losing to the Miami Heat<\/a> 129-103.<\/p>\n
Here’s me with the corned beef hash that was the brunch special at Bardog a week ago yesterday:<\/p>\n
$\"\"$ <\/a><\/p>\n
The first rankings of the season by the College Football Playoff Committee will be released Tuesday night. Fun fact: Paul and I were sitting next to Michigan State Heisman candidate Kenneth Walker III’s former English teacher at Bardog yesterday.<\/p>\n
Here’s me with the Shrimp Lo Mein from Stix Downtown:<\/p>\n
$\"\"$ <\/a><\/p>\n
Paul tried to upload this pic twice last week and got an HTTP error both times. For me, it went right up without a problem. If you need something important done, ask a troll to do it. This is the Stix food that came with that yummy cup of teriyaki sauce. Paul said he highly recommends it.<\/p>\n
Did you know that my birthday is coming up? I will be FIVE YEARS OLD on December 7! I’m glad Paul let me write this post today, because it’ll give everyone plenty of time to go out and buy presents.<\/p>\n
Time to get this party started. We’re off to the Blind Bear for the second day of their 3-day celebration. Paul said to tell his readers that church is not the only place they might find Jesus today. Happy Halloween!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
