For example, last night about midnight, as I was midway through my second Stone beer at the Saucer, I tweeted the following:<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I disagree with web design experts who say content is king. Content isn&#8217;t king, Jerry Lawler is.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>See, if you don&#8217;t follow me on Twitter (@Paulryburn), you&#8217;re missing out on important nuggets of knowledge like that.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking of which&#8230; if you&#8217;re a fan of the King, you might want to order the WWE <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wwe.com\/shows\/eliminationchamber\/\">Elimination Chamber<\/a> pay-per-view on Sunday, February 18. On a recent episode of Monday Night RAW, Lawler won a 7-man battle royal to become the number-one contender for the WWE title. He will main event the Elimination Chamber pay-per-view, challenging The Miz for the championship.<\/p>\n<p>I had a good time at MMHLA Trivia last night, where I played on team Kooky Canuck with several people I recognized from Wednesday night poker at Bardog. We finished in the top quarter, a strong showing but not good enough for a prize. There were actually two Kooky teams. Our table was &#8220;LLL&#8221; and the other table was &#8220;KKK.&#8221; Wow. Might be a good idea to omit certain table letters next year. Thanks to Shawn and Lana for inviting me to play on the team.<\/p>\n<p>On the way home, I stopped at Rite-Aid in Midtown and picked up a 12-pack of PBR for our Super Bowl party. One thing I&#8217;ll say about Downtown &#8211; you pay for the convenience of walking to the store. I paid $7.99 for my 12-pack at Rite-Aid. Anyplace walkable from my apartment in the Downtown core, I bet that PBR would be at least $10, maybe more. I thought about buying 24-ounce PBRs from the cash &amp; carry, but those big cans are such a novelty that they&#8217;re very moochable. Bringing run-of-the-mill, nondescript beer is usually a good idea at BYOB parties. (I don&#8217;t mean that as an insult to PBR, which I consider the Cadillac of domestic beers.)<\/p>\n<p>The Tigers play Gonzaga at 3:00 on ESPN.\u00a0 You know, I feel like watching this game at a sports bar, and by its own admission, the Saucer isn&#8217;t a sports bar, so I guess I&#8217;ll head south&#8230; plenty of time to stop by the Saucer later in the day.<\/p>\n<p>Reminder to friends who don&#8217;t like karaoke &#8211; don&#8217;t let people drag you there tonight if you don&#8217;t want to go. JUST SAY NO. Karaoke is Satan&#8217;s way of proving to us via music that he does indeed exist. People who try to get you to go to karaoke are preaching the word of Satan.<\/p>\n<p>Congratulations to the Grizzlies, who improved to 27-24 last night and moved into 8th place in the Western Conference. We are now officially a contender for the playoffs!<\/p>\n<p>I guess I&#8217;ll hit Publish and go on my way for now. Coning soon: A new Majestic Grille poll that will lead to a discount later this month, and details about this month&#8217;s SMA meeting.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One of the good things about social media is that I can share things I&#8217;ve learned from my years as a web developer.
