In Honor of Memphis


GP1

Recommended Posts

In honor of what appear to be pretty friendly fans so far, I offer this trivia question. The first person to answer this question correctly will receive a completely overpriced $8.00 beer from me at the game December 26.

The Peabody Hotel is in Memphis, and twice a day they have the famous duck walk where they either return the ducks that swim in the lobby bar to the roof or bring them to the fountain. It's really a great piece of Americana to see and if you are ever in Memphis I would encourage you go watch the duck walk in the afternoon, then go to the Rendezvous for ribs and then to BB's for music. :CK_brew:

Anyhow, a great Alabama philosopher once wrote the following words:

"Management and labor

keep rattling old sabers,

quackin' like those Peabody ducks."

If you are the first to name this Alabama philosopher, the beer is yours.

As a Mississippian myself, I am pretty sure that your "Alabama philosopher" was born in Mississippi. Pascagoula, to be exact.

But I won't give away the answer... :nono:

This is 100% correct. However, he was raised in Mobile, Alabama. From this point forward we will call him the "Alabama\Mississippi Philosopher". Uofmbrad, I think the overpriced beer is yours for the taking if you just give the answer. :CK_brew:
