So I rode the bike down to Memphis Cash & Carry this morning.\u00a0 It’s a grocery on Carolina right where Second Street ends.\u00a0 They have a lot of good deals there.\u00a0 Usually you have to buy by the case, but if you need a lot of something, you’ll save money there.\u00a0 They had just about everything you’d find in a regular grocery, including name brands, beer, and a large cigarette\/tobacco selection.<\/p>\n

Huge selection of cans and bottles of beer.\u00a0 They had a 12-pack of PBR 24-ounce cans for $12.90.\u00a0 They also had a lot of bands you don’t see in tallboys every day… for example, they had a 12-pack of Modelo Especial tallboys.\u00a0 Didn’t see the price, but that’s a good beer – I like it as much as I like Dos Equis Lager.\u00a0 Gotta have a lime with it, though, since it’s a Mexi-beer.<\/p>\n

People who should definitely check out the cash & carry:<\/p>\n

College students, or those who are fresh out of college and on a tight budget.\u00a0 I saw cases of Ramen, as well as cases of Beefaroni, chili, beef stew, and other inexpensive dishes that can be heated up in a microwave.<\/li>\n
People planning a party.\u00a0 If you need to buy stuff in bulk, this is a good place to get stuff cheap.\u00a0 They have a big meat selection, and I already mentioned the beer.\u00a0 Didn’t see produce.\u00a0 Of course, they’ve got chips, cookies, soft drinks, and all that stuff in bulk.<\/li>\n
People who use a lot of one particular item.\u00a0 For example, if you’re addicted to Altoids and suck on them all day, every day at work, you can get cases of them at the cash & carry.<\/li>\n
Smokers.\u00a0 If you smoke, chew or dip, you’ll definitely save money at the cash & carry.\u00a0 Of course, you’ll save even more money if you quit your filthy, nasty, disgusting, cancer-causing habit altogether.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
And don’t ride a bike down there like I did.\u00a0 You’ll want a car with plenty of trunk space.\u00a0 It’s open until 3:45 PM weekdays and 2:45 Saturday.<\/p>\n
I didn’t make it to the Creole restaurant on Florida.\u00a0 I decided it was just too cold to ride all the way down there.\u00a0 When we get a Saturday in the 50s I’ll give it a try.\u00a0 However, on the ride home I rode down GE Patterson, and there was Beignet Cafe, which I had not yet tried.\u00a0 So I got Creole food after all… red beans & rice, to be specific.\u00a0 Very good, neat little place, and they’re staying open until 10 Mon-Sat now.\u00a0 Will definitely go back.\u00a0 Full bar, and I think they have Wi-Fi there, so maybe I’ll bring the netbook.<\/p>\n
I was going to stop in for a beer at Calhoun’s, but it was starting to spit rain, so I just hopped on the bike and rode home.\u00a0 Rain + bike is not a good combination, especially when it’s 40 outside.\u00a0 Now I’m home… going to mess around with Jolicloud OS on the netbook and play Razz on PokerStars for a few hours.\u00a0 At 5 I’ll head to the Saucer for the Beerknurd party.<\/p>\n
Oh… good news.\u00a0 If you’re going to the Beerknurd party, you won’t have to deal with this.<\/p>\n
$\"nuhuh-buffet2\"$ <\/a><\/p>\n
The Nuh-Uh Girl won’t be there.\u00a0 She’s in Nashville this weekend.\u00a0 So the rest of us actually might get something to eat.<\/p>\n
Jolicloud OS update:\u00a0 I got PokerStars installed to run under Wine, the Windows emulator for Linux, on which Jolicloud is based.\u00a0 It worked well for over an hour, but finally, as I switched back and forth between a table, the PokerStars lobby, and Firefox, PokerStars crashed and I had to reboot.\u00a0 Oh well.\u00a0 It is a pre-beta of Jolicloud that I’m using.\u00a0 Can’t expect perfection.\u00a0 About to log back on and try again.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
