Every year the Academy of Motion Pictures and Sciences gives out an award called the “Oscar” to recognize excellence in the film industry.<\/p>\n
The National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences gives out an award to recognize excellence in music.\u00a0 It’s called the “Grammy.”<\/p>\n
There is no such organization as the National Association for the Preservation of Laziness, but if there were, and they gave an award for outstanding achievement in laziness, do you know what it would be called?<\/p>\n
The “Brittney.”<\/p>\n
Since that organization does not exist, I’m going to give the award in their honor.<\/p>\n
The 2009 Brittney for outstanding laziness goes to the Memphis Zombies<\/strong>.\u00a0 The route they posted on their MySpace page<\/a> clearly showed that they were going to walk all the way south to G.E. Patterson Avenue, through Trolley Tour, last night.\u00a0 A lot of people came to Trolley Tour specifically to see them.\u00a0 However, the lazy-ass zombies did a U-turn at Huling and headed back north, barely brushing the northernmost edge of Trolley Tour.\u00a0 Lots of people were stationed between Huling and G.E. Patterson with duct-tape Xs on their clothes, waiting to be zombified, and never got to.<\/p>\n The zombies may have expanded their route this year, but they cut off the best part of the route. Boo!\u00a0 They definitely earned their Brittney award last night.<\/p>\n Recap of last night:\u00a0 Went to Trolley Tour.\u00a0 Hung out at Mikey’s porch party.\u00a0 Watched people play cornhole<\/a>.\u00a0 Drank Miller High Life Light, and later in the evening, PBR.\u00a0 Watched the Nuh-Uh Girl cross the street multiple times to eat off the plates of people she knew dining outside at Safari.\u00a0 Went to the Susan Marshall CD release party at the Warehouse.\u00a0 Susie was there.\u00a0 She only said “fail” twice after I made fun of her on my blog.\u00a0 Stephanie touched Susie’s boob.\u00a0 Stephanie is my hero.\u00a0 I tried to get them to kiss but they wouldn’t.\u00a0 Headed north with my friend Nick to Silly Goose and then to Bardog, then we went to Paula & Raiford’s Disco with drunkass Mendi and her friend from Nashville.\u00a0 I got a souvenir cup with the club’s name on it (thanks Paula).<\/p>\n For those keeping score, that was my 14th visit this month to the Silly Goose, my 8th visit this month to Bardog, and my 4th to Paula & Raiford’s.\u00a0 Oh I also stopped by the Saucer before I went to Trolley Tour.\u00a0 That was number 32 for the month for the Saucer.\u00a0 Damn I go to bars a lot.<\/p>\n Gonna try to finish up a freelance project this afternoon, then I’ve got a party to attend at 5.\u00a0 Maybe another post this afternoon if I need a break from freelancing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Every year the Academy of Motion Pictures and Sciences gives out an award called the “Oscar” to recognize excellence in the film industry.
