Death Day (Elvis).

Thinks he's Boss Crump. Crump don't like it (ain't a gonna have it here), etc

King Willie

Head South (to Tunica)

For some reason I am compelled to mention the sandwich shop that gave a free draft whenever a train blocked Highland. That's not something you see every day.

And what does a Germantown housewife think about during sex?

Beige, I think I'll paint the ceiling beige.

Good stuff, thanks! Death Day...that could make it in.

I guess it's actually Death Week. I've heard both.

Here's a good one. Gave my dog a king's burial. He's in the back yard just like Elvis.

My cousin in New Orleans used that King buried in the back yard line all the time. Got tired of it.

I've already written the quote into the WIP, but I haven't written a scene to go with it. I will, though. Thanks, love this kind of stuff.

So, the prequel to the book coming out next month is set in Memphis. Currently about 25% done with it, maybe a little more.Thanks for the reminder about this thread.

I don't think it is Memphis, but ...

Beating someone with their own stick

Meaning to use the same tactic your opponent uses against them.
