On weekdays… it doesn’t exist. There are however, some people that are trying. Take Cafe Eclectic. On Thursday, Friday, and Saturday they’ve started The Late Night Bobby & Brian Barista Show where they’re open till 1am. Can I just say that this makes me ÜBER happy? I mean, finally, something non bar that’s open past midnight. Geez. Now, if people would just show up en masse and help support it then they may expand to be open later and more often. So, everyone needs to get up off their asses and show some support to the Memphis late night. Go give Bobby and Brian some monies so it’s worth it to them. I mean, Bobby misses valuable WoW play time to do this. Say thanks!

He’s an icon in my life. When I was abandoned in my childhood by my biological parents, Prince Mongo took me in and sheltered me in his castle. He taught me all about the thieves that run the city! He taught me all about the planet Zambodia! He taught me about sticking it to the man! Most importantly he taught me all about creating a myth around myself and about hiding the source of my finances.

The man is an asshole who just likes to piss people off.
