    Last night we hit the town.

    Here is the little guy buckled up for safety.

    While in Knoxville, you have to go see the Sunsphere (A.K.A. The Wigsphere for any The Simpsons fans that may be here) from the 1982 World's Fair. It is by far our most worthless attraction.

    Then we paid a visit to Neyland Stadium, where the Vols football team dashes the hopes of all Vols fans year in and year out.

    Wimbel made friends with the Torch Bearer outside of Neyland Stadium. Wimbel didn't even mind that the guy is a flamer. As far as garden gnomes go, he is the most progressive and accepting I have ever known.

    Wimbel is a well traveled gnome now with lots of stories to tell about you guys. We pillow talked for hours.

    We may sell all these cigars that came with him and hit the strip club tonight.

    Only that's he's the most awesomest ever, and he wishes he was back in the coal region. Duh.

    I'm curious too. I took the little guy to see the Sunsphere and even after that he still thinks Will is the awesomest ever. It just doesn't make any sense. The Sunsphere, guys. I took him to see the freaking Sunsphere! How has that ever not been the awesomest thing ever since it's creation in 1982?

    Welp, I'm going to spend another couple of days with the little dude, listening to story after story of how awesome bigwhale is. Then I will get him out and on his way to ashauler on Friday or Monday.

    I was able to talk him out of selling the stash and going to the strip club so the cigars are still safe at home in my toiletadore.

    I'll try to list my puts/takes for approval when I get home tonight.

    Today Wimbel is hanging out with Women's College basketball royalty. Rubbing elbows and what not. BTW Will, he now says Pat is the awesomest!
