Memphis
I drove to Memphis on Saturday with Bianca and Leisl. No one did anything more illegal than driving over the speed limit, and we never got caught for that.
It was a good time. We met Jake and his friends in Memphis to celebrate his birthday. I drank "big ass beers," sat at the bar and watched football, and ate some Memphis bbq. I also bought a pair of yellow suspenders, because I was told that they were part of the uniform. Jake drank too much, puked on the hotel room floor, passed out, and pissed himself. He woke up in the middle of the night and said, "Why is everything so wet?" Other than the very disgusting hotel room it was a good weekend.
Here are some things I learned about Memphis.
1. There is a pyramid in Memphis. I'm not sure why, but I think they play basketball inside.
2. It costs $22 to see the inside of Elvis' house. I bought postcards and took some pictures in front of the gate, but the Elvisness of Graceland was a little overwhelming.
3. Memphis is in Tennesse, and borders Arkansas and Mississippi. We visited all of them.
4. Memphis has trolleys.
5. I didn't see a single Elvis impersonator.

why would there be a pyramid in memphis - some one should build a gigantic covered bridge THEN play basketball in it.
"oh my god it's a windmill ..."
why did you need yellow suspenders for a "uniform"?
it occurred to me that you're someone whose never worn a uniform in your whole life. wow, i wonder what that feels like. (http://images.kingscollege.school.nz/albup04)
I think Americans who self-impose uniforms are really funny. They didn't have to go through the misery of being forced to wear one at school.
Your friend Jake sounds like an unpleasant character.
The uniform for the evening was suspenders and a bow tie for the guys and poodle skirts for the girls. I passed on the bow tie, since only one other guy wore one. Jake is generally ok, but it wasn't a good night for him. The next day he said that he had a "fun" night. If I had a night like that I would quit drinking.
