That's pretty accurate ('cept it's the MacLeod's patio). Carlos kicked my ass in something like seven moves, incidentally.

You ever seen the basement under that place? I was down there several years ago and it was like the freakin' catacombs or something. You could have housed a couple hundred illegal mexicans down there.

Yeah, it's the same thing as the Metro Pulse basement — it is rather catacomb-like. I went through pretty much all of it before we moved in here. I've found some odd things down there, including an autographed picture of James Doohan ("Scotty" from Star Trek).

Ya know, I think you guys should do a feature article on the true "knoxville underground", the grotto-like basements of most of the old buildings downtown. Who knows, there might be secret passages and tunnels and such down there, as well as strange artifacts from the early years of downtown, when cocaine was legal and happy hollow was booming with illegal booze and hookers. Anybody really looked lately? I think it would be pretty interesting, sure as hell more interesting a read than the feature piece on the yellow pages... (yeesh...)

Like I'm one to say, but...
Always think offensively. As soon as you think defensively, you've lost. Kill, kill, KILL! this is a good chess mantra. It might do some good in Pigeon Forge too, but don't say I told ya so.

In the second game, I blasted him in the face with a fire extinguisher.

Do you have any tips on evading a KPD officer with an arrest warrant?

Become a bartender at the West Silver Spoon.

I know a few guys who have staved off a few years in prison with a few well-placed gratis cocktails.

Again, be offensive. But in this instance, I think that shitting yourself is your only recourse. They have to touch you to arrest you. jb

What's the answer to K's question below: What was the first Knoxville band to release a CD? Burning curiousity demands a response? Unitz? Hard Knox? What do you say?

My guess...

Re:

the Unitz did not release a CD. We learned a hard lesson with a buncha boxes of LPs, which are probably collecting dust and becoming warped in some closet in Fort Sanders at present.

could it be... what was the name of that dark, industrial band that seemed to get so popular around here? Not Hypertribe, but... Immortal Chorus? maybe

Just a guess

Pickin' the Bones came out in '92, but it seems like there were a few Knoxville CDs that came out before. Hard Knox?
