I will never be able to afford a car this nice in Real Life. My rental car is an ice-purple PT Crusier convertible. I’m sure car buffs would guffaw over me calling the Cruiser “nice,” but to me it is. It’s a pretty new car — 16,000 miles on it, and it still smells like the factory. I like the way it drives — I feel like I’m sitting up higher than I did in…
Thaddeus Matthews brings to our attention the curious case of the pastor of World Overcomers Church (the church that brought us the crazy cross-wielding Statue of Liberty) who felt the need to urge the women in his congregation to get freaky in the bedroom to keep their husbands faithful. From Thaddeus: In the pulpit was a Queen sized bed draped in burgundy and gold. Members were wondering why the place that normally Pastor Alton R.…
Every Saturday the paper runs an agate listing of all the marriage licenses obtained from the county that week. In today’s paper (on B2, specifically), you’ll be able to see that four 14-year-old girls are being married off to lads of ages varying from 19 to 25. While I won’t begrudge anyone her right to young love, I will just offer this (extraneous and unnecessary) proof that 14-year-olds aren’t of sound mind to make such…
Because he writes stuff like this: Next time you hear some particularly moralizing speech, set your watch. You won’t have to wait long before the man who made it is found, crouched awkwardly yet ecstatically while the cistern drips and the roar of the flush maddens him like wine. Bloody brilliant.
[for Wednesday, Aug. 1] Big news, late night, crappy photo. There are obviously worse things in the world than not getting a good daily photo. Project 365

I’m proud to say that my friend Jason Cox helped this story hit the national spotlight. Here’s his original story. I swear I’ve seen these types of posts all around Memphis. My goal this week is to snap some pics to prove that I’m not just imagining shit. Kudos, Cox!
It’s hard to understand just how something like this could happen, but once it does, you start wondering about the obvious stuff, like why do people line up on the street to watch a high-powered car kick up dust and take off like a slingshot into the distance? It’s such a senseless thing, really. Just a few minutes of loud thrills, Man showing his mastery of nature and machine and speeding around like the laws…
I spent yesterday in Saltillo, watching the news about the Virginia Tech shooter unfold in meticulous increments. When I woke up today, they had ID’d the shooter as some 23-year-old quiet South Korean kid, who’d left a disturbing, invective-filled note in his dorm room before going on his rampage. And then the parade of victims began. One by one, their names began to come out. Then their pictures. Other information, like their majors and hometowns,…
