When Transvestites Attack; Memphis McDonald's Undergoes Gender-fication
NOVEMBER 26, 2007 - 11:14 AM
Things got a little out of order after three hungry transvestites found their service at a Memphis McDonald's drive-thru unsatisfactory.
The three, er, men, tried to get the manager's attention by tapping on the drive-thru window, and when they were ignored, decided to grab a tire iron and go inside and throw a supersize tantrum.
That's when things got ugly.
As any good cross-dressers would, the three began to kick off stiletto boots (to better keep their balance while swinging), remove hoop earrings (no danger of having them yanked out), and take off their jackets (less restriction of movement) in order to deliver a McWhoopin' on the staff.
The manager retaliated with a pot of scalding French-fry grease. When all was said and done, one worker was sent to the hospital by ambulance, windows were smashed, and the three trannies escaped before the police arrived.
Police are still looking for the fightin' tranny trio, and we wish them good luck. Our bet is Anna Rexia looks more like Andy Rex today. And we'll resist making a joke about trans-fats.

Thanksgiving Break Update
I haven't posted in a while because work has been all-encompassing lately. Now that things are getting back to normal at work, I find myself a bit uncertain of how to spend my regained free time. Not so much uncertain really as uninspired. I am a little ashamed to admit that I feel like doing absolutely nothing. I've had a few days off for the holidays, and instead of really doing very much of anything interesting, I've been doing nothing.
I don't really feel motivated to go out, I don't really feel like writing, don't feel like going to the movies, don't feel like reading, like emailing, corresponding, taking a shower, having company, visiting folks, going back to work tomorrow, raking leaves... nothing really. Maybe taking a nap. I don't feel bad at all; I don't have the blues. I guess I just need some downtime.
Anyway, just because I don't feel like doing much of anything doesn't mean I haven't done anything.
Thanksgiving
A nice thing about Thanksgiving this year is that my yankee husband Bill decided to make cornbread dressing, which I love (and so does he). I have to admit that I've missed cornbread dressing at Thanksgiving. It was always such an integral part of the meal growing up. Bill's dressing was perfect, of course. We had a great time making it. It was a hit at Thanksgiving dinner. We spent the day with his family, as we always do. We had a lot of fun.
Afterwards, we went to visit our friends Cheryl & Powell, and their extra cute two year old, Zoe. They had relatives over and our mutual friend, Kim, was there, as well. We had a great time visiting everyone and playing with Zoe, who we adore.
Black Friday
Poor Bill had to work a bit. While he was at work, I kept myself busy photographing leftover items from our recent garage sale - we hope to sell some of the items on craigslist or e-bay.
I felt strongly about not going shopping on the busiest shopping day of the year, but, after Bill came home around lunchtime, we did go out to look at some new logs for our gas fireplace. We didn't buy any, just looking. Then we went to buy a DVD Bill wants desperately (Night of the Living Dead 3-D), but we didn't find it on Friday. Instead, I broke down and bought a Jessie Sykes CD, which I'm listening to right now. I couldn't help myself, I suppose. I don't regret it!
Saturday
Tree trimming was my only goal for Saturday. We shopped for the tree, bought a few ornaments, and after the tree was delivered, we decorated it. Our tree came from Sam Stringer on Poplar. Antoinette was very helpful. The price was competitive with other places we'd checked, and they offered free delivery and set up. Bill and I decorated the tree on Saturday. We're really pleased with it. I was a bit worried the cats would destroy the tree, but they seem to only be interested in sleeping beneath it (so far).
It turned out very nicely. It's all blue and silver. We're happy with it.
We watched Night of Living Dead 3-D, which Bill discovered while we were shopping for tree trimmings. Umm. OK. It was kind of terrible, I guess. I'd like to say that it had its moments, but I'm really at a loss. It could have been worse.
We met our friends Carla and Charlie for dinner at Bangkok Alley in Cordova. We've eaten at the Bangkok Alley in Collierville and enjoyed it, so we expected the Cordova location to be good. At first, we were a bit disappointed because, unlike the Collierville location, there was no sushi bar and the restaurant was considerably smaller. Oh, but the food was so fucking good. I had Mixed Vegetables with Tofu. The menu described the dish as having a flavorful brown sauce - talk about an understatement! I haven't had such a yummy dish in a while. Really remarkable!
Afterwards, we went to Carla and Charlie's new house in Cordova to visit two very cute kittens they had adopted earlier that day. The kittens were extra cute. We had a great time playing with them. Everyone was kind of tired, so we made an early night of it and went home.
We watched The Reaping, which actually does have its moments. I can't say that it couldn't have been better, because it really could have been much better. That said, I enjoyed it. It was pretty creepy, and Hilary Swank did a great job, of course. Unfortunately, there were some pretty cheesy moments that took a lot away from the movie.
Today...
Well, as I said before, lately I haven't felt very motivated to do much. Today is no exception. I've done literally nothing today, with the exception of uploading snapshots of the cats and the Christmas tree to the Internet. There are a few movies showing at the Studio on the Square that I would like to see (No Country for Old Men & I'm Not There), so I could do that. There's tons of chores that need to be done, I could do that, too. I know it's probably for the best that I do something, so maybe I will. I know the best thing to do when I'm feeling this way, is to do the things I would do if I didn't feel like this, so maybe I'll see one of those movies.
And, of course, I finally have posted something on my poor ol' neglected blog now.
