Maxine Miller.

Her birthday was May 5th.

She was the greatest. My absolute favorite place in Fayetteville.

I can still see her glass coffee mug, a pack of Parliments, and a pack of Salem menthols there on the bar with her taking a nap with a lit cigarette that singes a few hairs. Then she'd wake up, look over, and say, "Baby, you ready to get your ass kicked in dominoes again?"

She never drank. Ever. She had coffee with 1/2 sweetner in her mug.

I've seen her slam down her club on the bar and scare the toughest of the tough and run them out of her tavern.

She was the salt of the earth and there will never be another one like her.

And that meme is wrong. It's missing the word 'up'.

Whenever the cops were going to bust the underage drinkers in Maxines, someone would tip her off. She'd make an announcment. The help would come take our pitchers and glasses. The cops would come in and find study hall. It's hard to picture if you never lived it. When the cops left, we'd go back to playing quarters and projectile vomiting.

I was there one time when this happened. You're right, its hard to imagine unless you were there, but what a sight.

What's this referring to?

Sad.

I used to go in there with my dad when I was very little and play that bowling game. Never got to drink in there when she was alive and running the place.

It's not that sad. I only go to Fayetteville for tailgating and games. Never lived there and didn't go to school there.

and I thought Maxine's was a bar in Hot Springs...

The full saying is:

"Excuse me, may I have your attention please? (pause) You have ten minutes to drink up, and get the Starkville outta here."

RIP Maxine.

Things like this make me feel a little sorry for those who were not blessed enough to spend their college years on the Hill. I don't think you ever really "get" Fayetteville and U of A 100% unless you were young and dumb and there for it.
