Can you swim? Cause here in Memphis, we SLICE THE POOL. I cannot tell you how this originated, but NO POOL IS SAFE FROM BEING SLICED. Welcome to the SLICE THREAD.
It's only right to start with the Gold Medalist OG Slicer,
Jonquall Ladeadrick Carrothers
See, there is a method to the madness. You don't just jump in the pool....no. You TRAIN for this. Here is JLC's guide to Slicin:
JLC retired from slicing in 2017 but he left a LIVE ACTION slice tutorial for everyone to follow:
Slicin is a way of life here...
Slicin knows no boundaries...
We go all in....
It's a Memphis tradition like none other.....
You gotta go hard or go home when it comes to slicin...
So next time you come to Memphis....
Be sure to slice the pool!!!!!

If for whatever reason you find yourself in Memphis 10, I'm going to give you a proper thread of places YOU should eat. These are all MEMPHIS restaurants, no chain corporations. Why would you want what you already have back home? Let's get started....
BREAKFAST: The Pancake Shop. However you can imagine a pancake, they can make it. Usually a 15-20 min wait but worth it. Bryant's Breakfast. Definitely that's southern hospitality feel. Only open til 1pm so get there early. The Arcade. Been here a 100 years. Great breakfast.
BBQ: A&R has several locations. Definitely the best to ME. Especially their BBQ Spaghetti. Always packed. Pollard's BBQ is sweet sauced. Good taste and BIG sandwiches. Payne's BBQ is old school. Family recipe slaw makes you do the chef's kiss. Interstate BBQ? Get the ribs.
Memphis Jukin (or Jookin if you prefer) is constantly evolving...
Breaking and Popping from New York and Cali birthed SOME of the elements of Memphis Jukin, but the REAL HISTORIANS of Memphis know that it's a mix of those elements and the OG GANGSTA WALK started by The Bovans at Club No Name off of Triggerman in 1987.
Please understand that Ray the Jay was the Emcee and DJ Spanish Fly were at Club No Name/Expo and EVERYONE came through. LL Cool J, The D.O.C and even Hammer learned to GANGSTA WALK by coming to Memphis.
Until you can show me REPEATED events where women have consistently attacked, harassed and even killed men for being rejected, it has been and forever will be: MEN HANDLE REJECTION WORSE.
A lot of men have entitlement issues. They honestly believe that a woman should be attracted to them JUST BECAUSE HE APPROACHED HER. If that ain't the dumbest thought process. If you were to ask these men "Why should I be attracted to you?" they would be ready to fight.
That's all they know... Entitlement and anger. If you can't sensibly explain how you feel and why you feel that way about someone, why should they be interested in you? And even then, THEY STILL DON'T HAVE TO LIKE YOU. Just take your L, move on & find someone that does like you.
