The blue button stared at me like a beckoning beauty, begging me to press it. I’ve only had the Blackbird for about two weeks – yep, my 2006 Chevrolet Cobalt SS is now nicknamed the “Blackbird” – and although I knew the car had some subscription options available to it – Sirius/XM satellite radio, for…

Forget Bonds and Clemens; vote for Carl Stotz!
This is an open request to all members of the Baseball Writers Association, the organization charged with voting for the 2013 class of the Baseball Hall of Fame. You have a very tough choice. Barry Bonds, Sammy Sosa and Roger Clemens are all eligible for induction into the National Baseball Hall of Fame. Yep. And…
Read MoreWeek 12 of the $2,000 2012-13 Elbo Room Trivia Tournament
Wow, eleven teams tonight for a game of trivia. Nice. About freakin’ time. And the four big teams – Street Academy, Woo Hoo a Go Go, Team Fist and Sighed, Bush! were in the house. As were several other squads – the Haterzz, and some other teams whose names completely escape my memory. Still, it…

Read MoreK-Chuck Radio: All Styx, all the time!
Remind me again why Styx isn’t in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Remind me. Because there really is no convincing argument. This band should have been inducted about six years ago, and the fact that they’re still on the outside looking in is rather shameful. Admit it. You once owned a copy of…
Read MoreWhat’s in a name? Tell me…
Believe me, I wish I knew. Pardon my liberal snatching of Shakespeare’s soliloquy, but right now I wish I could come up with a personalized name for my new 2006 Chevrolet Cobalt SS car. I’ve rattled off dozens of names, most of which were followed up with the word “Nah…” Or the words “That won’t…
Read MoreElf on the “Royale With Cheese Movie Club”
Okay, okay, stop smelling like beef and cheese, I just discovered that my local cable company is showing it as an On Demand selection. Okay, okay, for $2.99 I’ll watch Elf. Happy? Here’s the thing. I’m not that much of a Will Ferrell movie fan. And Christmas movies tend to bore me – they’re often…

Read MoreK-Chuck Radio: The Most Emotional Christmas Songs Ever!
The other day, my daughter Cassaundra posted on her Facebook page the list of her five favorite Christmas songs. For the record, she prefers Allan Sherman’s version of “The Twelve Days of Christmas,” Dr. Demento’s rendition of the “Twelve Pains of Christmas,” the Elmo ‘n Patsy version of Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer,”…

Why do I get up at 4:30 in the morning to deliver turkey dinners on Thanksgiving Day? There are reasons. Sometimes I don’t even know the reasons myself, because I’m so busy trying to get ready for this day. So I’m awake. Not by much. But I still have to make sure I have everything…
