As I write this, I’m spending five hours in the Memphis airport because airlines these days don’t seem to ever do maintenance checks before the day starts, they just find the problems on the first flight out. Anyway, I’m stuck in the Memphis airport and wanted to show a couple cool things I saw here. First, there’s a store called “Elvis” where you can buy all kinds of official Elvis merchandise. But the store’s window display is misleading, because it contains this jumpsuit, but they don’t have an XL Tall in the store, which is BS!

Also, above the Sun Cafe in the B concourse, they have several EXPENSIVE guitars that are just sitting there as decoration. Here’s an example, forgive the terrible quality, but this is a Gibson Chet Atkins Counrty Gentleman in Orange that I just found on Ebay for $3000. And it’s just decoration above the restaurant entrance!

And that’s just one of several guitars that are over $2000. If I yanked that Country Gentleman down, how far do you think I can make it before getting tazed?

I snapped this picture of a bus I saw in New Orleans last week.

I have no idea why this is some company’s name. We’ll assume that they’ve been around longer than either the word “ho” or “‘tard”. Now stop reading this you hotards.

I spent a bunch of time tonight updating our photo archive not only with our recent shows featuring Shannon Deane, but also with photos of shows from 2005 and 2006 that never made it onto our website. The best way to view them is to go to our shows page and click on the underlined date from any past shows. Please don’t let me have worked in vain, go check it out!

Have you ever been in the situation where your perfect pun or witty non-sequeter fell flat? Have you wished that you had an old guy in a sequined suit sitting behind you at a trap set to help you drive that joke home? Then fret no more, with the wonder of the internet, you now have that chance. Someone once described the internet as having the potential to gather all human knowledge, and I’m not sure I’ve ever seen a better application of that power. I give you:

Instant Rimshot

Enjoy, and don’t drive your friends nuts.
