Give Ma The Gift Of Milk This Mother’s Day
Does anyone remember the Got Milk? Moustache Mobile Tour hitting Nashville last year? Yeah, we don’t remember it either. This year, word on the street is that it’s going to be a little more memorable. Nominations are being accepted for Nashville’s Chief Health Officer, a.k.a. good ol’ mom.
To mom-inate a worthy mother in the Chief Health Officer Contest, record a 30-second “mom-ination†video explaining why their mom – or a mom they know – is Nashville’s Chief Health Officer.
Nashville’s Chief Health Officer will then have a chance to be crowned America’s Chief Health Officer and receive the chance to appear in her very own Milk Mustache ad, a year supply of milk, a three month membership to Curves International and a year subscription to “Redbook†magazine. And as an added bonus, you can also enter into our Chief Health Officer sweepstakes, which also will reward a mom a $100,000 salary she “richly†deserves! [The Murfreesboro Post]
The Got Milk? Moustache Mobile Tour will be rolling through Nashville and surrounding areas the week of May 19. Planned stops include a Grand Kick-Off Event at Legislative Plaza (5/19, 11am-2pm), Thornton’s #602 (5/20, 5-7pm), Kroger (5/21, 5-7pm), Piggly Wiggly – Before you get excited, this one is just over the border in Franklin, KY – (5/22, 5-7pm), and the grand finale is at Curves in Green Hills (5/23, 4-6pm). Events promise us free milk samples, moustache photos, and prizes from something called the “Milk Spin To Win Wheel.” Sounds moo-velous.

Happy Hour: TGIF
- Stories from Rock Hill, TN: Guy wrecks car in front of his house. Wife runs outside to see what’s up. Wife leaves stove on. Guy airlifted to hospital, watches as house catches fire. Police hand guy ticket for “failure to yield.” Our hearts go out to you, Justin Hill. Move to Nashville. [Tennessean]
- TDOT wants us to fill up our own gas tanks, y’all. [WSMV]
- Batten down the hatches, Nashville, because it’s going to be another weekend of rough weather for the Middle Tennessee. We wish we could tell you that storm season’s almost over, but it’s the price we pay for warm weather and cookouts. [WTVF]
- Pith In The Wind gives us a few good reasons to steer clear of the Steeplechase this weekend. [Pith In The Wind]
- It took us a while to warm up to the Signature Tower, but now it looks like it might not happen. They blame the economy. So maybe we won’t get to top Atlanta’s snooty skyscrapers after all, but look at it this way: We still have a Parthenon, and no one can take that away from us. [WSMV]

Bright & Early: The Kids Aren’t Alright Edition
Good morning, Nashville. The homeless weren’t the only ones busy protesting this week. Yesterday, the kids at Franklin High School staged a riot of their own in the school’s gymnasium after a group of masked vandals brought a deluge of spray-painted terror down upon the hallways. The young hooligans were caught on tape by the school’s security cameras and students were rounded up into the gym Mean Girls-style to talk about the problem. Thanks to those kids and their newfangled technologies, they staged a coup by text messaging each other and stormed the doors at 9:30 AM. Blurry cell phone videos were up on Youtube within hours. Our favorite is this one for the commentary and musical score. Points for creativity.
- Colorful Canine. This doesn’t have much to do with us, but in honor of your green commute this morning, we’d also like to welcome New Orleans’ cutest puppy into the world. Because it’s green. We had no idea that this could happen, but it sure makes for some amazing baby pictures.
- Prostitution Crackdown. Metro police made two big prostitution busts yesterday evening and into the early morning hours. Members of a five-person prostitution house were arrested near Murfreesboro Road, and another four were rounded up near Hume Fogg High School after undercover police responded to their Craigslist ads.
- Another Shot at Hannah Montana. Producers for the Hannah Montana movie are holding open casting calls tomorrow morning for adult extras, especially over the age of 50. If you’re interested, then you should head out to the Rivergate Mall’s center court between 10 AM and 2 PM with a 4×6 head shot and a pen. By the way, welcome home Miley!
- Bits and Pieces. Mother-son duo busted for $64K internet scam just in time for Mothers’ Day! … Metro’s Finest put a stop to a late-night crime spree in East Nashville … On a tight budget this year? Win free tickets to Bonnaroo! … More housing protests at the Federal Reserve Building on Rosa Parks Blvd.
