MEMernet: Go Figure(ine), a Weird Marketplace Road Trip

A drunk pirate, a talking Trumpinator, a weird decanter, and drums of peanut butter.

Memphis on the internet.

Go Figure(ine)

It’s a great time to be alive if you live in Memphis, like to browse Facebook Marketplace, and love weird figurines. 

Consider this “drunk pirate figurine” posted by Boula Baskhairoun from Olive Branch. 

Surly with a pistol, sword, and holding a chimp’s hand, this guy is just $29. How Boula knows the pirate is drunk, though, was not disclosed.

Since you’re already down that way, swing a little further south to Hernando for Mary D. Wasson’s “Talking Trumpinator” figurine. He says, “I’ll be back … in 2024” and “hasta la vista, Biden.” Timeless fun. Only $40.

Complete your figurine road trip in beautiful Blytheville, Arkansas, for the guy above. From a ’70s-era Lewis and Clark Expedition collection, he’s also a decanter. The drunk pirate will love him.

If none of that interests you, Zach Runyon has 20 barrels of peanut butter back in Memphis that he’ll let go for $50 a pop.
