Ah, Sunday. The start of a new week. Which means it’s time once again for the “Brick” Quote of the Week.
First, however, I have another pic of Brick. Here she is posing with a bottle of “No Wimps Allowed” habanero hot sauce.
So anyway, Friday night, Brick was working the evening shift, and [...]
Earlier this evening, there was a guy walking around the Saucer with a sign that said “Free hugs.” It looked like he wrote it on the bottom of a pizza box and tied it around his neck. Here’s a photo of Brick taking advantage of his offer:
By the way, there will be [...]
I’m now ready to announce the launch of my newest blog – Paul Ryburn’s Poker Blog.
I got the idea for this blog last Saturday, when I played two large tournaments on PokerStars. I had a notebook handy and took notes on hands where I made mistakes, hands I played well, [...]
Over on Facebook, there have been some questions about what kind of music will be played at the Red Square Reunion at Nocturnal tonight. The organizers have confirmed that it will be the music that was played at Red Square from 1991-95.
(Was Red Square open in 1991? I seem to remember a gay bar called G. [...]
Long-time readers of this blog know I’m not a big fan of dress codes at bars and clubs, but this is a dress code I wholeheartedly support. “IF IT’S ON JERSEY SHORE, IT’S NOT COMING THROUGH THE DOOR. No Affliction. No Ed Hardy. No Christian Audigier. No exceptions.” In other words, no douchebags allowed. I love [...]

Good news for people attending the River City Brewers Festival afternoon session (12-4) on March 13: Right as the beer tasting wraps up, the St. Pat’s parade on Beale Street will begin! So you’ll be good and drunk for the parade! There’s also a 6-10 evening session if you prefer that one. Friends who attend a [...]
Memphis has showed up as #1 on a new “city rankings” list, and this time it’s something we can be proud of. The CA reports that Memphis is #1 for fair and accurate prices for auto repair. We have honest mechanics here!
I’ve mentioned them before, but I’ll add my recommendation again… Quality Auto on Jefferson just [...]
I get a weekly e-mail listing specials from MacMall. Today I found this:
FREE SHIPPING on MacBook Pro 15″ 2.53GHz 4GB/250 only $1599.99 (was $1699)+Free Parallels & Printer after rebate(s). From 02/24 to 03/02
Seriously considering getting it. “Parallels” is the software that allows the Mac to run Windows, so I could get a copy of [...]
I saw a comment on Facebook concerning the proposed single beer ordinance, and felt the need to address it here. The commenter wrote,
Support the panhandling and single beer ban ordinances . . . and consider avoiding downtown stores that do not support these. They have made their choice about who they want as cutomers.
I disagree with [...]
