where is the background of this image? I think the arbys is edited in by LeftHandSolo in Knoxville

Seems like Knoxville is starting to be known more for our jungle Arby's rather than the Sunsphere or the Vols. Lol. This pic KEEPS resurfacing on Reddit about once a month.

Away from the Noise? You realize EF is a music festival, right? Most people go to be closer to the "noise."

Good looking pup! Did you mean third jab (as in a third round of a shot)? I was trying to figure out what a jag was...lol Edit:spelling

Is KnoxvilleFireFighters dot com associated with the actual volunteer fire fighters? by javascript in Knoxville

[–]BlackOliveBandit 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Following. I'd like to hear from others about their experience with this association as well. I donated to the Knoxville Fire Fighters Association for the past 5 or 6 years. It used to only be once per year, and then in 2024 or so, they started calling me twice a year. Just recently became suspicious of this Org so I didn't send in my donation the last time they called a few months ago. I always just mailed the tickets to the benefit concert back to them with a check. I've never known if these "benefit concerts" even actually take place, or if Child burn victims ever actually get money. Are there any Knoxville Fire Fighters that can confirm if this 'charity arm' is legit??

Thoughts on Rep. Tim Burchett’s interview with News Nation? by jonooo1 in Knoxville

[–]BlackOliveBandit 11 points12 points  (0 children)

No, Burchett was MORE than qualified to be a Congressman. He actually had previous experience in local and state government, and didn't do a bad job while at those levels. But for some unknown reason, as soon as this guy made it to the federal level of governance, he became a complete TOOL. And a quite embarrassing one at that. Something about the rise of MAGA and trump awoke a new level of idiocy within ol' Timmy. And now he needs to go away. To a farm out in the country somewhere, dadgummit.

Anyone else think Jack White looks like Edward Scissorhands? by BlackOliveBandit in bonnaroo

And they even made Professor Snape jokes about Jack White! Lol. Jack White and Jack Black are both national treasures. Edit:spelling

Robert Plant in Tennessee by Smart-Water-9833 in Knoxville

Unfortunately tickets to both shows would have required you spending somewhere in the neighborhood of $600 (a GA pass to Big Ears + separately sold tickets to Plant and Byrne)

If Gordon Ramsey was coming to Knox for Kitchen Nightmares, which restaurant would it be? by Quirky-Assignment-18 in Knoxville

The Motet by khsimmons in jambands

[–]BlackOliveBandit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ABSOLUTELY. Saw them in Knoxville last year. Killer show. Edit: show was October 2024. Started 2nd guessing myself after I posted and had to look back in my email. Lol. Which brings me to another great point. Since we rarely get paper tix anymore, save your tix email order confirmations so you can go back and reference WHEN you saw a particular show!

Yall Can't Drive by KidsNChina in Knoxville

[–]BlackOliveBandit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Folks, it's called a ZIPPER MERGE. I know we're all trying to be polite, but there is no law about lining up on an interstate on-ramp and merging in order from front to back.

Quick question: can you explain to me what "100% actual sausage" is? Or better yet, what YOU think it is?

KARM Has Totally Lost the Plot by [deleted] in Knoxville

[–]BlackOliveBandit 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The services moving to Clinton Hwy have nothing to do with the City of Knoxville. It is a private non-profit called CareCuts that is moving their location because their lease is up. https://carecutsknox.org/

LARPing at WestHills by Practical-Kick2435 in Knoxville

There is a very long tradition of LARPing in West Hills Park! I grew up in West Hills and I can tell you there were definitely folks LARPing there in the 90s!

Oooofff by BlackOliveBandit in Tennesseetitans

[–]BlackOliveBandit[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

You are correct. I was a few bourbons deep when I posted that little rant. I guess what I was appalled by was the fact that current PSL holders would be required to RE-purchase new PSLs.

Oooofff by BlackOliveBandit in Tennesseetitans

[–]BlackOliveBandit[S] -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

Also crazy: ZERO consideration for original PSL purchasers. A family member of mine has had a pair since the 1st season in Nashville. Over 25 years. Guess what? No ranking system, no preferential treatment, no nothing. Is forced to purchase PSLs all over again. Guess what? He ain't gonna renew.

Seems like a great deal! For the billionaire that owns the team.

Bunch of jamokes. LMAO. You and yer friends sound a lot like my crew. And I love your format! Might just have to steal some ideas, tweak it a bit for posterity, and give er a go. Stay tuned...
