About 7:30 last night, I was sitting at the bar at Blind Bear, having a perfectly good time watching whatever college bowl games were on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then Butt Slut #1 came in and took the seat next to me. She asked the bartender to turn the TV to the Thursday night NFL game that was on. Dallas vs. somebody. I can’t remember who because I simply don’t care about the NFL.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Do we really have to watch your stupid Cowgirls?” I asked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That earned me a backhanded chop to the chest that was so hard, it would have made Ric Flair proud.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the next hour, I struggled not to fall asleep at the bar as the ‘girls ran up and down the field. I was SO bored. Finally, I could take no more of it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Hey, butt slut,” I said. (Yes, I actually call her that to her face.) “Can we put ANYTHING else on? Like some cartoons? Some Bugs Bunny?” Bugs was my fav when I was a little kid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Bugs Bunny can suck my butthole,” she replied.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

OMG she’s such a lady.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, I normally don’t go out on New Year’s Eve. It’s totally fucking Amateur Night. All the yahoos from other parts of town who don’t go out on a regular basis come out and try WAY TOO HARD. The night rarely lives up to the expectations on NYE. I was gonna stay home and find something to binge-watch. on Peacock+.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But then Jeannette from Blind Bear texted and made it clear she wanted me at her bar’s party.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And it’s nice to be wanted. It’s nice to be loved. And I know that there, I’ll be among family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thanks Jeannette so much for reaching out. As a token of appreciation, I will do the unthinkable and root for your Vols in the Orange Bowl tonight. Clemson is not a hard team to hate, especially if you know some of the people I know.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also, Jeannette, you just turned your Fedoras, Feathers, & Furs party into a Fedoras, Feathers, Furs, PBR Hoodie, & Shorts party. I don’t dress up for stupid contrived holidays. Although, maybe I’ll meet you halfway and wear a fedora.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Favor to ask my friends who are going to the Bear party: Do not let me get drunk. ESPECIALLY DO NOT LET ME TAKE SHOTS WITH YOU. Because if I’m hammered enough I might try to give Butt Slut #1 a quick peck on the lips at midnight. I don’t want to be the subject of gossip on NYD. I’ve already been the subject of gossip once this week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One other thing: I DO NOT WEAR PARTY HATS. Nobody better try to put one on me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Good basketball night last night. The Tigers took care of USF 93-86. The Grizzlies picked up a road win in Toronto 119-106. Sure wish we’d had one of those games on instead of the Dallas Cowgirls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Grizz are now 3rd in the West, 1 game back of New Orleans and Denver.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today is Bacon Day<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The boil water advisory has been lifted<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Six years of the Trumpster’s tax returns have been released<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sad to hear Chef Tam’s warehouse suffered $90,000 in water damage<\/a>. Prayers for her and her restaurant team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Water main ruptures are affecting Memphis hotels<\/a> during Liberty Bowl week. Not good.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The New Daisy, which used to be one of Memphis’ premier concert venues, will reopen next year<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That’s it. Back tomorrow.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
