Straight Outta Knoxville
Thanks to the guys at Knoxify and Rootclip, I’m wearing a shirt today…my new Rootclip T-shirt that I won via Knoxify’s giveaway. Eastcoast? Westcoast? Nope. This is all about Ebenezer and Westland–aka The Westland Ghetto. Entry to Knoxify’s contest was open to anyone discussing their ‘hood in the comments, so I figured I’d represent my [...]
Fair Is Fair
I just heard on Boortz that The Unabomber had a copy of “Earth in the Balance” in his shack when they arrested him. Does that mean that Al Gore should be held responsible? Seems reasonable using the logic that right wing nutjobs are responsible for this weekend’s shootings.
Knoxville’s Miracle Mile? Huh?
Wh-wh-WHAT? KnoxTalks has the lowdown on an NBC reporter making the statement about the stretch of Kingston Pike between Sequoya Hills and UT: “people call it The Miracle Mile” C’mon. Making things up to make a news story more interesting is soooo 2003 New York Times. But I’ll play along by making my own completely [...]
I’m a Big Winner
Just wanted to say thanks to the guys over at Knoxify for rigging their random number generator so that I could win their contest. Look for me around town wearing a shiny new RootClip t-shirt. Hopefully by the end of the summer it won’t look like it’s two sizes too small. I’ll be repesentin’ the [...]
Church Shooting Here in Knoxville
I was enjoying a nice peaceful day with the fam and just now heard about this. Not much to say except that I’m stunned. Things like this are so rare here. We were just having a conversation last night about what a great place this is to live and have a family. I’m reading a [...]
If You Have A Loved One That’s Been Eaten By Pigs…
TCH sent this video of a clip on Knoxville hero John Bean. This is the original “Whoop Your Ass” Jerky Boy, and in my opinion the best. One of the things I love about these prank calls is that everyone he threatens responds to his threats with “Well come on down here then!” Gotta love [...]
Thanks to a Couple of People
I don’t hold back taking shots at Knoxville every now and then, but today we were reminded of one of the reasons we love living here. The Missus must have dropped her wallet while at the grocery store. Not only did someone turn it in completely intact, but a KPD officer (sorry I didn’t get [...]
Everybody Goes to Cracker Barrel
Cracker Barrel is one of our favorite places to people watch, mostly because you can see every stage of life there. Our trip today did not disappoint. Saturdays usually have the best variety of people because Sundays are dominated by the after church crowd, and weekdays are not as busy and are filled mostly with [...]
This. I Love THIS!
SVD at KtownLowdown is running a contest to produce the best slogan for Knoxville in response to today’s MetroPulse article about KTown being a great place to do nothing. Win a free t-shirt or bumper sticker just for being a smart ass! KTown is notorious for stealing all the good ideas before I’ve had a [...]
Coworking Publicity
A few weeks ago a reporter from the Knoxville Business Journal came out to our coworking meetup to do an article, which ran yesterday. Pretty good stuff in there. I’d invite anyone who’s working at home to come out and see what coworking is all about. We’re still working long term on building a foundation [...]
