Smokin' Da Pipe

Enjoy the best (or at least the most quotable) local commercial Memphis has ever had to offer. Makes me want a burger from Ernestine and Hazel's.


ETA: So this may seem a bit random which wouldn't be altogether unusual, but after Shaun White's stunning, mindbendingly amazing run the other night I was saying thank-yous for DVR technology while I watched over and over and...well, you get the point. I'm not sure if some announcer said it or if it was just the sport announcer mixed in with my inner monologue who said, "the pipe is smokin'" which immediately reminded me of this commercial from my childhood, adolescence, and teenage years. Because seriously I think it ran on Memphis television that long.

And a soul burger sounds so good right now.
