So, last night about 12:00 I was walking home from Blind Bear. As I got to the intersection of Main and Monroe I discovered a large pipe lying all the way across the road. MLGW is doing sewer repair work in the area. It was a bit scary because the pipe was ~8 inches in diameter and I have bad legs and would have had trouble stepping over it. But there’s an orange platform on the west side of Main where you can get by.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
DAMMIT I just realized…. I’m now required to text the butt sluts every night and inform them I made it home safely. I missed a perfect opportunity to make an “8 inches of pipe” joke in last night’s text.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Every morning I get an email linking to stats site Fivethirtyeight’s top story. Today it was Memphis-related: Jaren Jackson Jr. is the top candidate for Defensive Player of the Year, but an unusual candidate<\/a>. By some measures, he resembles Dennis Rodman more than any past winner. Dye your hair Beale Street Blue, Jaren!<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Blind Bear Speakeasy has announced its St. Valentine’s Day Massacre party<\/a> for Saturday, February 11. Queenager will play, prizes for best costumes, more details to be announced. Party like it’s 1929!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Lorenzen Wright’s jersey (55) will be retired<\/a> by the Tigers on February 4.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It’s Curried Chicken Day<\/a>. The Nine Thai Sushi has red, green, and massaman curries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Cheers to Ja Morant for making things right<\/a> when an 11-year-old fan’s autographed basketball was stolen at a recent game. <\/p>\n\n\n\n No, WWE has not been sold to the Saudis yet, although it could happen. I hate to see Vinnie Mac back as chairman of the board, though. I hope he doesn’t get involved in the creative process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n RIP Jeff Beck<\/p>\n\n\n\n That’ll do it for today. Back tomorrow.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" So, last night about 12:00 I was walking home from Blind Bear.
