Jookin’ and Cloggin’
Posted to Facebook by Memphis Jookin
The Memphis Jookin Facebook group had some love for that blue-shirted, smooth-as-hell clogger guy last week. The viral video of the smiley dancer hit 15 million views and made its way across TikTok, Facebook, Twitter, and more.
Even if the dance style was not their thing, nearly all on the Jookin page paid respect to his skills. “I don’t care what nobody else said,” Patrick Gatewood commented, “bro cuttin up.”
NBA chicken Protests

The MEMernet watched again as the Grizzlies playoff game last week against Minnesota Timberwolves was interrupted by a protestor.
So far, one woman glued her hand to the floor, another chained herself to the goalposts at FedExForum, and another ran onto the court wearing a shirt that read “[Wolves owner] Glen Taylor roasts animals alive.” They are all angry that Taylor, who owns a chicken farm, recently killed 5.3 million birds after positive tests of bird flu.
