I’m already there
Kim is looking to move and he has criteria that are important to him. Go help him out. A commenter there noted a website called Find Your Spot. You enter your info (including political, weather, economic) and it tells you a place that fits the bill. Turns out, it recommended to me the town that I already live in. The city (my the city) of Maryville, TN. Cool.

He thinks beef is barbecue.
He needs to stay the hell in Texas.

I’m safe, he ruled out Ar. Makes me happy.

I’m in trouble. It place my #1 city as Portland, OR, which is where my wife keeps bugging me that we need to go. (Neither of us has ever been.) My original home town of Milwaukee shows up at #15 on the list (they give 24 total results), and neither my current home (Memphis) or prior home (Cincinnati) show up on the list at all.
Apparently, it thinks I’d really like Oregon (five total cities, all in the top 15, three in the top ten), Connecticut (three total, two in the top ten) or Massachusetts (three total, two top ten). The only places in the top ten where I’ve ever actually been are Providence, RI (#3, and I liked it); Boston, MA (#9, and I loved it); and Little Rock, AR (#10, Not a bad little town, but I’m confused why it’s there).

Argh! “place” = “placed,” and even that’s crap grammar. D’oh!

I had Portland number 1 as well..though it somehow put San Jose, CA over my current home of San Francisco. Now thats just wrong.

Tam, maybe he just don’t know better.
Anyone who eats a BBQ sammich without cole slaw on it is just misinformed. Anyone who thinks beef is BBQ is in need of a good dose of Tops. The one on Thomas gets my vote.

Anyone who would ruin a perfectly good pulled-pork mesquite barbecue sandwich by putting cole slaw on it is just FRIGGIN’ CRAZY! 😉
Now, a bit of Pic-A-Peppa sauce and some Choloula to spice it up — that’s good eatin’!

I knew I had been in Memphis for a while when my reaction went from “Why the fuck is there cole slaw on my sandwich?” upon seeing this, to “Where the fuck is the cole slaw?” upon getting a sandwich without it.
And Tops is third-rate at best. Three Little Pigs gets my vote for #1, and even over-commercialized Corky’s does a better pulled pork than Tops, in my book.

Corky’s is surprisingly good for chain BBQ.
I miss Sarge’s BBQ in Knoxville.

I miss Sarge’s BBQ in Ardmore, Ok. Though, I admit that I always was a little creeped out that he shared a building with a funeral parlor. Naww! Surely not!
