Background. About a couple of weeks ago, I got this custom-made car badge in the mail, a badge from “Chuck Miller Ford” of Clear Lake City, Texas – just outside of Houston. I taped it to the back of a Ford Explorer, took a picture, and treated it like a “Caption Time” photo. Granted, most…

“Oh my God, she’s got a machete!!”
I’m on my lunch break, and I take advantage of the sunny, beautiful day to walk down South Pearl Street. There are several discount variety stores along the Pastures neighborhood – that area between the arena and the DMV – and I look through the various items and products for sale. Hmm… some Friday afternoon,…
Read MoreThe Green Island Tequila Sunrise
Fiona O’Donoghue is a photographer from Melbourne, Victoria, where she enjoys the beautiful sunshines and picture-perfect weather of Australia. She also experiments with toy cameras and film for several effects, including double-exposures and photo arrays. So when I saw this photo array of hers on the flickr photo hosting website, I must admit, I was…
Read MoreAlbums I Want to Be Buried With: “25 of the Best Souvenirs,” Stompin’ Tom Connors
Haven’t added to the afterlife playlist in a while, but here’s a great one for me to enjoy in the future. I first heard Stompin’ Tom Connors’ music about ten years ago, when I was participating in a book signing at a record store in London, Ontario. After the signing, I struck up a conversation…
Read MoreK-Chuck Radio: Cheezy Classics!
I suppose some of the greatest music from the 1970’s would entail the work of artists like David Bowie – or Elton John – or the Ramones – or Boston – or Fleetwood Mac. No arguments there. None. But there was also a subgenre of music which I derisively refer to as the “Cheezy Classics”…

It’s Wednesday morning. My ears are still ringing. My skin smells like diesel fuel and burnt oil. My eyes are fifteen shades of red. No, Chuck did not spend the night at a Gwar concert. But last night was one helluva night. Spin the clock back to … yesterday, when I got a phone call…
Read MoreNo Pets for Sale in San Francisco

According to this report in the Los Angeles Times, the city of San Francisco is considering banning the sale of all pets within city limits. That’s right –…
Read MoreK-Chuck Radio: Ten Wedding Songs of Regret
Ah, wedding songs. The perfect audio track for that perfect moment in your life. And the organist is playing… Here comes the bride… last chance to hide… But what if you’re approaching the wedding with equal portions of apprehension, nausea, regret and unrest? What if the girl you loved is walking up the aisle with…
Read MoreThey’re not in the Capital District Basketball Hall of Fame… but they should be!
Last night was the third year that the Capital District Basketball Hall of Fame held their inductions, and current NBA rookie Jimmer Fredette – sorry, Glens Falls native and 2009 Inductee Jimmer Fredette – was on hand for the induction of new members to the Hall. The men and women who were enshrined in the…
Read MoreCarol Brady caught an STD? From the Mayor of New York City??
This is just wrong on about 15 different levels. Every so often, one of the actors or actresses from my childhood – an actor or actress who performed for many years on one or more of my favorite TV shows -will either end up with a drug addiction or a jail sentence. And after that,…
