St Paddy's Day 2008

Leap Day!

noreply@blogger.com (Chuck) — Tue, 26 Feb 2008 13:46:00 +0000

In honor of something that only comes around once every 4 years, I'm planning a party this Friday February 29th!

It will take place somewhere in Media, at an undisclosed time, in a yet as undisclosed location, but most likely atfter 7pm at the Plumstead if your going by Vegas odds.

Who's with me?

STARBUCKS IS CLOSING!

noreply@blogger.com (Chuck) — Tue, 26 Feb 2008 13:04:00 +0000

Yeah OK, so it's only for 3 hours in order to "re-train" their employees in how to make a coffee. Seems the quality isn't up to snuff.

Of course, being one of those people who thinks STARBUCKS COFFEE is crap to begin with, three hours won't be nearly enough....

Magical MoC

noreply@blogger.com (Chuck) — Sat, 09 Feb 2008 01:05:00 +0000

The mystical, magical world of MoC went into full swing tonight as we investigate the

phenomenon known as "left eye syndrome."

Check back later for more info....

Interesting experiment

noreply@blogger.com (Chuck) — Thu, 07 Feb 2008 01:42:00 +0000

I found something out tonight that I think is interesting. Check it out for yourself and see if your results differ.

When I look at myself in the mirror, it turns out that my focus generally seems to fall onto the reflection of my right eye. In staring at myself it just feels natural to look into my right eye.

However, when I actually stare at myself in the "left eye" not only does it feel "not quite right" but if I stare long enough, it's like I'm looking at someone else. Sort of an evil MoC....

Go experiment and report back.

The "Breaking News"...here it is!

noreply@blogger.com (Chuck) — Thu, 24 Jan 2008 01:14:00 +0000

OK people...you loyal few. Consider yourselves privileged because you have just entered what is known as "the cutting edge."

I am happy to announce that CNN is the mother of my child!

No, no, no wait a second. That's the wrong announcement.

Start over.

I am happy to announce that after more than a year of work (and another year I'll still be paying for it) that my website has finally launched. As loyal readers you have the privilege, no... the honor, no.... the DUTY of being the first visitors.

Now, before I give away the goods I'd like to take a moment to thank my dear friend Pecker and his company for all their help, support, patience and work in making this a reality! If I make only enough money off of this site to have you redesign it in two years with a limitless budget, I'll be more than happy!

And an additional thanks and a big kiss to the sexiest project manager in the world - Heidi, who is no longer my project manager so I can now come clean and announce... she is the mother of my child!

Or maybe that was meant to be a question?

So without further adieu or further jokes I present to you the live version (in beta form) of :

BREAKING NEWS!

noreply@blogger.com (Chuck) — Wed, 16 Jan 2008 09:44:00 +0000

All right people, listen up!

Sometime next week, and if I was a betting man like PokerPro I'd say Wednesday, there will be a breaking news flash right here at the MisAdventures of Chuck.

Until then, you'll get nothing from me. I'm too busy making the news, that I'm going to break!

So check back next week and see what it's all about.......

Bowflex

noreply@blogger.com (Chuck) — Thu, 10 Jan 2008 11:52:00 +0000

This is my "Bowflex!" I bought on Ebay just before Christmas. It was supposed to arrive prior to Christmas and 6 of the 7 boxes did!

However, box #7 is nowhere to be found?

A couple days after receiving FedEx notification about the Bowflex and when it should arrive, I received UPS notification about 7 boxes scheduled to arrive Jan 4th.

So...while the 7th box never showed up, the 7 other boxes did!

Here is my "other" Bowflex.

If I use two Bowflex's, can I get in shape twice as fast?

The day after....

MoC's head is keeping time nicely with his heart this morning, laying down a fantastic backing beat....perhaps I should have lightened up on the sake? After all it doesn't have xanthohumol!

Not to worry party-people, it isn't MoC's first hangover, certainly won't be his last, and nothing that another cup of fine Costa Rican coffee won't cure.

That being said, let me show you a couple of highlights;

Here's a mini bloggers convention at the Plum, with myself (smiling as to help my love life), Tedman, PokerPro and his girl Temptation!

(Just kidding PP, I know her name is Stella)

Prior to our after dinner drink, we naturally had.....before dinner drinks. This is where the sake enters the picture. Here are the boys, powering down a large sushi boat. That boat sank faster than the titanic.

One thing I would like to point out about this picture, which is odd - prior to Matt sitting down (he arrived a bit late) the four of us were all lefties! What are the odds of that?

hold on, I'm calculating........ 9,875,345 to 1!

Lagniappe - Of course, what New Year's eve review would be complete with out a pair of young tits in my hat!

Xanthohumol and a Happy New Year

noreply@blogger.com (Chuck) — Mon, 31 Dec 2007 18:36:00 +0000

We here at MoC want to wish each and everyone one of you out there a happy new year and encourage each and everyone of you to get your RDA of xanthohumol (and considering what day it is, it shouldn't be a problem!)

What is xanthohumol you say?

"MoC, what is xanthohumol?"

Well done.

Xanthohumol is an effective cancer fighting agent, having shown in tests to kill breast, colon, ovarian and prostate cancers!

WOW! That's good news. (Especially for me, now that I'm over fourty!)

"But I've never heard of it, where do I find it?"

Ha ha ha ha....that's the beauty - YOU FIND IT IN BEER!

That's right, beer cures cancer. You heard it here first. So I recommend we all close out the year, start off the new year, with a big dose of xanthohumol!

Who's with me?

Slaunche.

Cheers.

Proost.

Na zdorovia.

Salud.

Banzai!

Christmas Eve Libation

noreply@blogger.com (Chuck) — Fri, 28 Dec 2007 05:01:00 +0000

So, in case you have forgotten what MoC looks like during his absence from blogging, the exception of course being what I look like as the 'Green Goblin', well look no further.

Here I am with my Kris Kringle beard in full bloom, drinking my Christmas Eve libation at Sligo's and patiently waiting for the love of my life to walk thru the door. I even have a napkin out for her...

...you'd think after 20 years, I'd get bored and go home.

A Christmas present from me to you...

noreply@blogger.com (Chuck) — Tue, 25 Dec 2007 23:07:00 +0000

Triplets - courtesy of Tom Robbins

I went to Satan's house.

His mailbox was painted black.

A fleet of bonecrushers

was parked in his driveway.

The thorns on his rosebushes

were longer than shivs.

And sixty-six roosters scratched

in his front, yard, their spurs

smoldering like cheap cigars.

I went to Satan's house.

It was supposed to be an Amway party.

I wanted one of those

hard as hell steak knives.

The ones that can't tell the difference

between mama's sponge cake

and a chunk of rock cocaine.

I went to Satan's house.

I felt a little out of place.

But Satan's twin daughters soon put me at ease.

They tried on funny hats for me,

showed me jewels,

danced around my chair.

They read my fortune

in a bowl of ashes,

let me pet their Dobermans,

and watch while they rinsed out their pink underthings.

I stopped by Satan's house.

I just happened to be in the neighborhood.

Satan came downstairs in a Raiders jacket.

His aura was like burnt rubber,

but his grin could paint a sunrise

on a coal shed wall.

"I see you've met Desire

and Fulfillment," he said,

polishing his monocle with

a blood-flecked rag.

"Regret is in the kitchen making coffee."

Happy Thanksgiving

Lie, steal and cheat to win...or just go on the juice

I'll say this about Marion Jones, she's got balls. Figuratively of course, unless the steroid's she took happen to actually do more than she was intending? At least she admitted it, however late it may be and she seems to be paying the price for her actions.

Now what do we do with the rest of the cheaters? An ugly business this steroid problem....

PSA follow up

noreply@blogger.com (Chuck) — Wed, 19 Sep 2007 23:04:00 +0000

Well, am I to assume based on the lack of response that my other 6 readers feel that global warming is a hoax and you are afraid of the verbal smackdown you might receive at the hands of MoC?

Fear not. PokerPro stood up and voiced his opinion and he's still alive and kicking, albeit only with his left leg....badumdum - ting!

Really, I thought I'd get a bit more out of those last two blogs, I have to admit I'm a bit disappointed.

I'm going to the Plummer to play stall footsies and reflect on the glory days.

Public Service Announcement (without guitar)

noreply@blogger.com (Chuck) — Fri, 14 Sep 2007 13:20:00 +0000

Every once in awhile it is necessary for the powers-that-be here at MoC to stray from the ordinary line of self deprecating humor and to pick on CNN.

This isn't one of those times.

Editors sidebar:However, I would like to express to all the world at this time that while CNN might be fair of skin, she is far from fair of heart or humor, and it is only because I know she can take it, that I make her the butt (cute and rounded that it is) of my jokes.

Now back to our regularly scheduled PSA.

As I was saying, occasionally it is necessary to take the conversation here to a higher level and with that I pose the following question:

Do any of the 7 readers of my blog fall into the category of pin-headed ninnies that believe global warming is a hoax? (Regardless of if it was started by Al Gore or not, but extra credit if you admit to that too!)

Come on, don't be afraid. I promise I'll be gentle. I'll be taking comment role call, yea's means you believe it's a hoax, na's means you believe it's real.

Pin-headed ninnies will kindly do their blogging elsewhere in the future. We discriminate here at MoC.

Let's play stall footsies

noreply@blogger.com (Chuck) — Fri, 14 Sep 2007 12:50:00 +0000

For your edification, in the Netherlands the bathroom stalls have walls that extend to the ground. Not only does this make it a lot less likely the person next to you will hear all the funny sounds that come out of your bottom while doing your business, it makes it damn near impossible to play stall footsies. Which is kind of funny given the casual attitude the Dutch have towards just about everything. This is after all the country that just found a man not guilty of having sex with a sheep, because the sheep was unable to testify that it didn't enjoy it.

Hmm.

From my friends at http://www.dictionary.com/

lewd - inclined to, characterized by, or inciting to lust or lechery; lascivious.

And

las·civ·i·ous - inclined to lustfulness; wanton; lewd

It seems a bit redundant to charge people with lewd & lascivious behaviour, no?

"Ah, Mr Beebe, I'm charging you with being drunk and intoxicated in public".

HUH?

So who thinks that our dear Senator Craig is actually being drummed out of congress because he committed some sort of crime? (no)

OR

America's homophobic attitudes and underlying fear of anything sexual? (yes)

Now, I'm not exactly sure what crimes he admitted to that he is now trying to recant. However, I suppose the girl who always raised her hand in class could find out for me? You know who you are.

But I do know it seems to me, that every Friday shortly after happy hour has started at the Plumstead that I could be busted for lewd and lascivious behaviour and being drunk and intoxicated in public.

WOW! That's a lot of crime.

Scofflaw out.

Chuck's ride yesterday

noreply@blogger.com (Chuck) — Wed, 12 Sep 2007 10:40:00 +0000

I got done work early yesterday and decided to go for a little ride...

Stop the presses!

noreply@blogger.com (Chuck) — Mon, 10 Sep 2007 03:06:00 +0000

The search is over.

I've found someone who owns a glue-bra.

Weekend riding

noreply@blogger.com (Chuck) — Mon, 10 Sep 2007 03:02:00 +0000

Put a few miles on the KLR this weekend, the weather was too nice not to! I'd like to say this is me off in some field after a ride relaxing, but this one is staged and is actually in the jungle that is my mom's back yard.

I'm getting 45 mpg by my calculation, mostly riding around town. I'll be anxious to see what I get if I'm doing all highway miles?
