One of my duties with the National Basketball League of Canada is to monitor the online statistics for every game. The league uses a software program called DakStats – the table crew punches in the live data, it streams up to the Internet, and fans throughout North America can enjoy the games by watching the…
Read MoreI’m skipping Elbo Room next week…
That “thunk” you heard was about ten different trivia players fainting to the floor. This is important. I’m actually going to play trivia Thursday night, but not at Elbo Room. I’m going to play elsewhere, for a different reason. And for a different cause. And for a charitable reason. The Big Brothers Big Sisters of…
Read MoreThe calendar
It took me a few days to get around to hanging it up, but I put it up this morning. And it looks nice. It’s my 2013 wall calendar, this year sponsored by Nassau Merchandising Corporation. The calendar features several breathtaking scenes of wildlife paintings and artwork, and it looks good in my office. I…
Read MoreWeek 17 of the $2,000 2013 Elbo Room Trivia Tournament
Let me start today’s trivia tournament recap by congratulating the Bush team. They won their sixth consecutive round this week, putting them only two wins away from tying Lynch’s Mob for the most consecutive weekly wins at a Trivia Nights Live game. Not only that, but the Bushes were able to hold off a strong…
Read More“Amish Mafia” episode review: Fall From Grace
Here we are, back in scenic rainy Lancaster County, Pa., for this week’s episode of the Discovery Channel’s new TV show “Amish Mafia.” It’s rainy, it’s cold, and for the first time since I started regularly reviewing episodes of “American Dreams” a decade ago, I’m going to provide a television review on the Internet. For…
Read MoreThe Return of the Twilight Zone
Revivals of classic television shows have been, for lack of a better description, hit or miss. For every successful resurrection of a classic TV staple (Hawaii Five-O), there have been some seriously smelly stinkers (did you ever see the remake of Fantasy Island? No? Count your blessings…). There’s one successful classic TV series from the…
Read MoreThe McManly sandwich – more McFrankenfoods!!
Here’s the deal. A while back, my buddy and blog reader Chad (you know him as blog reader Chad9976) sent out a video where he ate an item that was not on the “official” McDonald’s menu. Yep, he chewed down on a McGangbanger sandwich (a double cheeseburger with a McChicken sandwich wedged inside). In the…
Read MoreChuck’s Top 10 Blog Moments of 2012
Let’s see… there was that time I did a K-Chuck Radio blog post about ten songs that start with the words “Boogity…” No. Not counting that one. How about the time I listed “Last Tango in Paris” on the Royale With Cheese Movie Club? I… just… don’t think so. Here’s the deal. While everybody else…
Read MoreCollarworld: The Race of Champions
“Where have you been all morning?” Vincent the orange tabbycat asked Paisley. “I went over to Indigo Acres,” the pitbull replied. “I never knew there were so many farms here in Collarworld.” “There are many farm animals who were family pets,” Vincent said. “So there are farms for all of them. Did you have a…
Read MoreSix years too late for me.
It’s 2006, and I’m freelancing for a couple of online minor league sports publications – Minorleaguenews.com and Probasketballnews.com. Neither of them were skilled in the art of paying their freelancers – it took two years for Probasketballnews.com to send me payment for a photo of mine, and I’m still waiting for money from Minorleaguenews.com six…
