Day Five : Memphis to Nashville

Mile 1065.6 - Seeya Heartbrea Hotel!

Mile 1074.6 - There is a pyramid in Memphis? A pyramid?



Mile 1074.8 - Oh it's the Pyramid Arena, which appears to be empty now. (Thanks Wikipedia!)

Mile 1074.9 - And look! Here's a Highway to Nowhere!



Mile 1077.5 - It's time for lunch at Charles Vergos' Rendezvous Ribs. Holy crap.



These are the best ribs ever.

Mile 1077.6 - Kooky Canucks. Big Taste! Big Food! Big Fun!



Drunk on Rib Juice, Jon becomes convinced that Kooky Canucks is mocking them.

Mile 1077.6 - You're oh so Gayoso!



Mile 1078.3 - Uh Toto, I don't think we are in a Blue State anymore.

Mile 1078.4 - Seeya Memphis! We're going to Nashville! Again.

Mile 1090.9 - We are stuck in Traffic. And Jon is stuck in a car with Jeff who is singing along to "The Skillet Lickers."

Mile 1145.88 - Thanks to magic of the mobile phones, Jeff and Jon check in to their flight while on the road.

Mile 1147.7 - Jeff suddenly declares, "Awww Funky!" Jon wonders what is going on. Jeff explains that we just passed a sign that for "Old Medina." Jon put Jeff in the Maximum Security section of Comedy Jail.

Mile 1153.7 - Thanks to the magic of the sun and the reflective surface of his iPod Touch, Jon blinds Jeff with his crotch.

Mile 1182.0 - We almost perish at the scariest Rest Stop in Tennessee.



They sell knife sharpeners by the cash register.





Serial Killers clearly hang out there.

Mile 1184.6 - Jon makes Jeff listen to Miley Cyrus' "Party in the U.S.A." He explains that the only reason he is playing the song is to have an excuse to post this video:



Jeff doesn't buy what Jon is selling.

Mile 1187.4 - So...Antik Haus is a place.

Mile 1224.0 - Lorretta Lynn Dude Ranch! We don't stop.

Mile 1282.7 - Jon does his "Who Wants to Be A Trillionaire" bit. A bit that he has been meaning to do, ever since Papa Ru gave him the One Trillion Dollar bill back in Delaware.

I don't know if you've heard, but Jon is a trillionaire...



...in Zimbabwe!

Mile 1289.9 - Jeff is horrified to find out that Jon has booked them into a hotel located on Demonbreun Street. He is convinced that our souls will be harvested in the middle of the night. Jon doesn't disagree with this assessment.

Mile 1290.6 - We've arrived at the Comfort Inn on Demonbreun Street in Nashville!



This is the end of the road for Country Fried Spiral Notebook. It's all VERY sad.

(Jeff and Jon's final posts to come later today...or tomorrow at the very latest.)

  1. Fun video!
    Mean of Jon to make you stay in Demonbreun Street!
    I figured it was pretty likely Memphis would have a pyramid tbh after all, the other Memphis is in Egypt.. its sort of inevitable someone would get that bright idea somewhere along the line.
    I want you to go on ANOTHER road trip. I am going to have to read all your previous ones now!
