Whenever Bon Jovi’s “Wanted Dead or Alive” (WDoA) begins playing over my car radio, I can’t help but slouch down in my seat, commence with the notorious one-handed-steering-wheel-grip, and put on my best Snake Pliskin facial expression.
I mean, who doesn’t feel like a badass when listening to the song? For those of you unfamiliar with the lyrics… (more…)
The Penn Relays Track and Field Meet - arguably the greatest track meet in the world - took place this past weekend at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia. Being a former competitive runner, I made it a point to mark my calender months in advance in anticipation of the phenomenal event. Penn Relays has everything that a running fan could hope for in a track meet; exciting races, a historic setting, and an energetic crowd. The meet is sure to be an absolute blast for followers of the sport.
Although I was in Philly for the entire weekend, I didn’t watch a single race. Now that I think about it, I didn’t even see the stadium. Come on people, I’ve got better things to do than hang out at a fucking track meet. What better things, you ask? Seeing a puppet show and punk band of course! (more…)
Most people try to avoid associating with degenerates, thieves, and liars, but my pal, Gully, is way too entertaining to ignore. A mutual friend of ours once asserted, “I wouldn’t even lend that guy my bike to ride around the block”. A law school graduate who relocated to San Francisco two years ago, Gully was living on $2 a day until he snagged a job with a bike messenger service. In the past year, he was released from the position and collected unemployment from the Federal Government. Even Scottbrundage.com never stooped that low. So let’s see what’s new in the world of “scoundrelling”…
Johnny 5 is alive!!! Chuck is mad busy at work, but you can enjoy this non-scottbrundage.com masterpiece (thanks Mocku!). I’ve got some good shit lined up for the rest of this week though, so tune in for more.
As an adult, when I catch a rerun of Saved By the Bell, I’m astounded by the poor acting, the simplistic plot lines, and the rudimentary production value. But, after all, it was just a teen sitcom that aired on NBC every Saturday morning. And, when I viewed these episodes the first time around, I guess I was too young to pick apart how absurd and cliched the characterization was, or how transparent the storylines were. Nonetheless, when I was ten, it all made sense to me. You know; dorks, jocks, brains, cheerleaders. Everyone in their place, right?
And, I suppose I like to think that I’ve become more refined socially since I graduated from middle school. Sadly, it’s readily apparent how true the “Saved By the Bell” universe was, and how brutally it reflects so many aspects of my life. I’m guessing that the creative geniuses that came up with the idea for this show never could’ve suspected that it’s memory would be forever etched in the brain of every child who grew up in the mid 80s to mid 90s. Because if they had, they wouldn’t have written such ridiculous caricatures of teenagers that we would all use to categorize everyone we met for the rest of our lives. (more…)
Since Chuck decided to throw all my flaws out there for the world to read about, I figured I needed to show you what it is exactly that I like about the guy. Since I am constantly hounded by his friends and family as to why I would want to spend so much time with him, I feel that I need to explain myself a bit.
With the following list of pros and cons, you can help me decide if I am being logical in my decision to be with this kid or if something really is wrong with me. I know it seems a little late in the game to be questioning my motives, but I figure it’s still early enough to make a clean break if need be. (more…)
Degenerate friends are great for making you feel better about your own sinful and/or pathetic existence. Lucky for me…I’ve got plenty! With such interesting stories and backgrounds, I’d be an idiot to refrain from interviewing these scoundrels and nerds for the pleasure of Chuckblog readers. Please enjoy the first in an ongoing series of weekly interviews that’ll make you appreciate your lifestyle of sobriety and relatively ethical behavior.
Scottbrundage.com has become a staple of Chuckblog over the past couple of months, and the time has come to unravel the man behind the URL. Scott Brundage is a freelance illustrator who lives and shrugs in Astoria, Queens. His date of birth is widely known as “the day the angels wept and the devil farted”. Lets pick the guy’s nose and find out why… (more…)
Whenever I watch the 80’s cinematic masterpiece Teen Wolf, I’m left pondering two very serious questions:
1) Why did I waste yet another $4 renting this movie?
2) How would Michael J. Fox’s werewolf character stack up against a formidable opponent in combat?
Since the former is a complete fucking mystery, I’ll attempt to answer the latter. A vast number of foes can match Teen Wolf’s fighting ability, including but not limited to Howard the Duck, Johnny 5 (from Short Circuit), Denver the Last Dinosaur, Scottbrundage.com, and Swamp Thing. However, I think a battle between fellow wolf/human hybrids is the most fair fight.
Cue Wolverine.
Based on 5 combat-related attributes, let’s see how the two stack up against each other: (more…)
