High As Hell

How high was your Memphis Light, Gas & Water bill? A Memphis Redditor suggested the answer with a meme showing Willie Nelson, Cheech Marin, Tommy Chong, and Snoop Dogg, all notorious for being super-duper high.

The Memphis subreddit was (mostly) hate-watching a YouTube video published last week from a channel called “Forgotten Places.” In it, the YouTuber (sounding like he’s reading a book report before his fifth-grade social studies class) says that Memphis has seen “rises, falls, and stagnation quite contrary to national trends.”

Though, he said (many hilarious times) the city has “fairly desirable weather.” To which, Redditor lokisilvertongue said, “‘Fairly desirable weather,’ he says, as the Gold Bond in my pants is turning into roux.”
