COMEDY, TN

The funniest thing about Comedy, TN is the fact that I can't seem to get past that it's in the building that used to be The Eagle's Nest. Many, many crazy times there. I once saw a friend of mine get a drink poured on him by a bitchy girl, then he proceeded to pour one back on her. Damn that seems like a long time ago. It was probably the last time someone renovated this restroom. Notice the "comedic" remarks on the wall.

LAVORO'S ITALIAN

So I went Lavoro's, a little Italian place near Bartlett. The building used to be home to a KFC that would run out of chicken. How that happens, I do not know.

Anyhow, the visit was excellent. Great upgrade from KFC, have you ever been in one with restrooms like this? Clean, nicely dressed, and all of the comforts of and Italian restaurant that happened to be a KFC.

KROGER - KIRBY & QUINCE

Here's the Kroger at Kirby & Quince (Kirby Gate. Not much unexpectedness here. A bit messy, and generic artwork on the wall. If you look closely, someone wrote "Support Local Art" on the pic. Notice it is misspelled. That's my kind of graffiti.

SQUARE BOOKS - OXFORD

Square Books has to be one of the best things about Oxford. It feel like the way the town should be, save all of the ass-munch kids running around in Patagonias, flip-flops, and croakies. I hate croakies, it makes me want to give someone the chokie.

Anyhow, here's the big finish...love the poster in the restroom.

LOBSTER KING

Count me in as a Lobster King fan...been going there since they opened. I just wish they would stop giving me the don't-know-any-better-white-ass-guy menu. Guess I can't blame them. Usually go for dim sum. One suggestion: don't order any of the stuff they suggest to go along with it. That where they make the bucks. Nine dollar broccoli, my foot.

Here is is - nice, clean, simple presentation, with a little kitsch.

OTHERLANDS - MEMPHIS

If there ever was a great place to soak up some caffeine, info, and great bagels, this is it. Nice diverse, "eclectic", and beautiful crowd. The oasis of midtown, here is Otherlands.

RED ROBIN - COLLIERVILLE

I love all that is Red Robin. I used to go on out of town trips and go out of my way to visit Red Robin. Before there were any here, of course. Went there on Saturday, with a "free appetizer" coupon. The server lied and said that another table had gotten our rings, which the manager came by and said was a lie. We got our coupon back, but he was such a dumbass that we had to laugh. No hard feelings. Anyways, the entire experience was summed up by the toilet. Really flashy, had the essentials, but something was fucked up. And funny. See proof:
