$\"\"$ <\/a>Jenny and Michelle<\/strong><\/p>\n

Jenny (far left, in the photo to the left) and Michelle (far right) are proposing I do a double BFF of the Month, as I did in August with Darbi and Kristin.<\/p>\n

Jenny and Michelle’s main selling point is that they are scientists for St. Jude, doing important research to find cures for diseases that affect children.\u00a0 They also like to hang out at the Saucer and drink beer, which is a plus, and they like to go see the Dempseys whenever possible.<\/p>\n

The main argument against them is that their trivia team keeps losing to my team The Rapscallions week after week at Tuesday night trivia.\u00a0 I remember boardroom scenes from The Apprentice where Donald Trump would say, “You have a lot of potential, but you keep losing.<\/em> Nobody likes a loser.”<\/p>\n

Then again, you can’t find a bigger loser than original BFF Meghan, so maybe they’ll be able to overcome their lousy showings at trivia.<\/p>\n

They scored some points last night.\u00a0 As you can see in the pic, they thought, “Maybe Paul will pick us as his BFF if we bring girls in tube tops to the Saucer.”\u00a0 That’s not a bad strategy.<\/p>\n

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

Lauren declared herself to be in the running for BFF of the Month this past Saturday, when I stopped in Calhoun’s, where she bartends, to have brunch and watch football.\u00a0 “I think I should be the October BFF of the Month,” she told me, “because my birthday is in October.\u00a0 And, I work at a bar that serves PBR.”<\/p>\n

Lauren would have been the runaway favorite to win in October, but then she did something that cost her 82 million gazillion points.\u00a0 She changed into an orange Tennessee Vols shirt.\u00a0 I was still eating brunch, and nearly puked it back up when I saw that shirt.\u00a0 What was she thinking?????\u00a0 The Nuh-Uh Girl wears Tennessee stuff all the time, and you never hear her mentioned as being in the running for BFF of the Month.<\/p>\n

Who will win?\u00a0 I really don’t know.\u00a0 The top two contenders are running neck and neck in my eyes right now.\u00a0 If you have reasons why you think I should pick one or the other, or if you think there’s someone else I should consider for BFF of the Month, let me know.<\/p>\n

Back at lunch with information on this week’s Downtown Alive! Wednesday night concert series.\u00a0 They’re moving it back to Court Square, so I guess for one week it really will be a return to “Bands, Beer and Bums.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
