Memphis on the internet.
Sweet Cheeks
Searcy, Arkansas, is now home to “central Arkansas’ first drive-thru bikini coffee shop.” Sweet Cheeks Espresso opened last month. It serves lattes, cold brew, frappes, chai tea, and Red Bull-infused drinks like the Bubble Butt and Fruity Booty. Yep, all of it made and served by women in bikinis.
It’s Gonna be May
May’s Memphis arrival means two things: Memphis in May and Justin Timberlake memes.
NSYNC’s 2000 hit “It’s Gonna Be Me” is the genesis for the “It’s Gonna Be May” meme that blooms each year around this time. Know Your Meme says the original “May” meme was posted to a Tumblr blog in 2012. It’s still going strong 11 years later, as evidenced by the photo above posted to Facebook by Memphis musician Mike Doughty.
Tweet of the Week
In the wake of last week’s shooting at FOX13, state Representative John Gillespie (R-Memphis) seemed ready to work on some sort of gun control in a special session promised by Governor Bill Lee.
“The solution as we know is going to be a complicated one but I am willing to roll up my sleeves, work with my colleagues in Nashville and figure it out. I am here to protect my constituents and speak on behalf of all of those scared for their own safety and the safety of their families and friends. WE MUST DO BETTER AND WE MUST DO IT NOW.”
