They sell fishing gear not just for bass alone, but for other fish too, like pike, catfish and hammerfer as well..

Did Marc Cohn see it when he was walking in Memphis?

Of course. If you want to buy fishing supplies, where do you go? A pyramid, where else?

Q: Does anyone know what the bad part of Memphis is called?

A: Memphis!

isn’t Memphis the city that Mitch McDeer’s old law firm hung their shingle?

there’s also a full-sized reproduction of the Parthenon (and Lincoln memorial, for that matter) in a Tennessee Town

More likely a relative passed away and the guy made a lame excuse in finding the Egyptian jar in order to face embarrassment.

Which part of the USA is the UK ?

That pyramid also has a bowling alley, hotel, alligator swamp, restaurant, archery range, and shooting range.

Largest pyramid? They should visit Concrete and Nekoma North Dakota

Special, high-end customers keep their razors sharp by having them stashed up in the attic — next to the tinfoil hats.

“Bass Pro Shops?”

There several interesting things about the Pyramid in Memphis, TN:1. It started out as a 20,000 seat arena, college and NBA basketball teams played there, was then used for concerts (the acoustics were not the best) and a church held conventions there. It was eventually unused most of the time. 2. The owner of the Bass Pro stores was talked into buying it on a challenge. Some people from Memphis tried to talk him into buying it and turning it into a Bass Pro store. He all ready had a store in Memphis and did not want the structure. They were fishing from a boat in the Mississippi River (the Pyramid sits very close to the river) and to get them to quit pestering him he told them that if any of them caught a 30 pound catfish by 4 o’clock then he would buy the Pyramid and put a store inside. Just before 4 p.m. someone brought in a large catfish. They were very near the Pyramid when it happened. He honored his word and bought the Pyramid.3. It contains the largest freestanding elevator (two cars) in North America. 28 stories. You can ride it up and back down for $8.4 There is a restaurant and glass bottom observation decks at the top. 5. There are 103 rooms and a spa around the sides known as the Grand Cypress Lodge.

My only trip to Memphis they were BUILDING this thing. Kinda sticks out on t he skyline.

Somebody mention THE PEABODY DUCKS

Makes sense, because Memphis TN is named after an ancient city in Egypt

He’s still looking for the 3000-year old Egyptian to take it away!

The Tenn. Bass and Dollar pyramid – things that end in pro shops (ding)
