turning guns into grizzlies tickets

During a Saturday event at Bloomfield Baptist Church, the city and its partners in the effort will hand over a $50 Mapco gas card for every gun a person turns in, up to a limit of three guns, or $150 in free gas, per person. Everyone who turns in a gun will also get two free tickets to a pre-season Memphis Grizzlies game. The event will run from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. 

The guns will be received on a "no questions asked" basis and later destroyed, though members of the Memphis Police Department's Firearms Training Unit will be present.


If anyone sees a little brown and blonde dog tugging a shotgun over to the baptist church, someone stop Kismet because that is MY gun and he doesn't even know what basketball is anyway. via

things i stole from carly kiel's facebook today

I apologize to those of you who were already aware of this, but it has come to my attention that "Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan" is an anagram of "My ultimate Ayn Rand porn" and I believe I would be failing in my responsibilities as a friend/family member/human being not to pass along this incredible piece of information. thanks carly!

good news involving justin timberlake and the memphis grizzlies

you remember that rich guy that wants to buy the team? well he is gathering a group of memphis natives to form a minority ownership group, sort of as a show of good faith that he is committed to keeping the grizz in memphis longterm. justin timberlake is going to buy in as a part of the local ownership group, so eat your heart out jay z. the nets suck but the grizz are great! news news

worth it
