MEMernet: Shell Yeah, Speakerphones, and Funny Cops

Overton Park Shell rides again, Reddit talks etiquette, and Bartlett Police Department yucks it up.

Memphis on the internet.

Shell Yeah

Praise thundered across the MEMernet last week with the news that the Overton Park Shell, which changed to the Levitt Shell after some funding, was changed back to the Overton Park Shell after a split with the Levitt Foundation.

Real Talk

The Memphis subreddit tackled the big issue last week: Why do people talk on speaker phone in public? Here are some of the best responses:

“Main character syndrome,” wrote u/lokisilvertongue.

“Why? Because they’re assholes,” wrote u/FrancisFApocalypse.

“They’re called DGAFs,” wrote
u/dgtfnk. “It’s a huge overlap of those who identify with that other four-letter acronym on red hats.”
