On the Road Again

What up, world? Yeah, I've been slacking lately on the whole blogging thing. Sorry. And I'm about to head back to the "land without internet." Actually it's kinda nice. Where I duck hunt in Arkansas is actually what you would consider "Bumblefuck." I know downtown Paul considers anything past...well, probably East Parkway to be "East Bumblefuck" (especially where I live right now), but this is really what you can consider the middle of nowhere. Let's do the checklist:

1. One stoplight in the entire town: CHECK
2. Lots of meth labs in trailers north of town: CHECK
3. One Sonic built before town got stop light: CHECK
4. One Subway: CHECK
5. Intersection of two main highways: CHECK
6. Great hunting and not much else: CHECK
7. Guy running for mayor named "Dizzie": CHECK
Sounds like the middle of nowhere to me.

Anywho, that's where I spent my weekend. Oh yeah, I did go to Thanksgiving with the family and come back in town to go out Saturday night. HM and I headed to the Blue Monkey to catch the first set of Walrus before we were going to catch Lord T & Eloise at Newby's. Walrus was on fire. We didn't want to leave, but we had folks we were going to meet at Newby's so we left. By the time we got to HM's house for a cocktail we got calls from the folks we were meeting who said LT & E were over. We hung around HM's house and Jeff/Beth and a few folks came over. I stood there after an hour or so and realized that I had been away for over 22 hours and needed to go home and crash. So I headed east. I had been drinking straight Rockstar to stay awake. I was wide awake until I turned on my street, then my eyelids started getting really heavy.
Here are a few pics from the weekend with quick explanations. Have a good one and don't get none on ya.

Ok, Blogger's being a bastard. So I'll get you pics later.

MG, I'll get your tag done when I get back. Don't have time now.

East Bumblefuck is more of a mindset than a location, but if you insist on finding it on a map, it starts farther to the east than East Parkway. It would include Cordova, Germantown, Collierville, and the parts of Fayette County that are Memphis suburbs. I need to do a post about this on my own blog.
