Chuck is QUIZZING results and thoughts

So let's take a look at how many votes there were for each answer:


Question 1 Question 2 Question 3 Question 4 Question 5
A. 2 A. 1 A. 0 A. 0 A. 0
B. 1 B. 0 B. 2 B. 3 B. 1
C. 1 C. 2 C. 1 C. 2 C. 1
D. 1 D. 2 D. 2 D. 0 D. 2


And the CORRECT answers were:

Question 1: A
Question 2: C
Question 3: A
Question 4: D
Question 5: C


And the WINNERS of the Chuck-Quiz are Po Boy and chuckfanatic with 2 out of 5 each. Nice job guys. As for RP^3 and my roommate (anonymous), you guys answered 0 questions correctly......better luck on the upcoming Chuck quote contest!

As it turns out there was a plurality vote for the correct answer for only 1 out of the 5 questions (and a tie on another question), and there were also 2 out of 5 questions for which nobody voted for the correct answer. However, I would say that the 2 questions for which nobody guessed the correct answer were the two most difficult questions. Also notable is that one commenter thought that all the answers were C, as did another person who did not post their answers......not in a million years could I have planned the quiz out in order to make it look like every answer was C, so that was fairly surprising....and notably awesome. Anyways, my thoughts...


Question 1 - Corrrect answer: A
A. Chuck is now im feeling hella good so im gonna keep on dancing!
B. Chuck is everybody loves raymond and chuck!
C. Chuck is singing some taylor swift in the shower and doesnt care who hears him!
D. Chuck is having trouble deciding if these brown shoes match his shirt!

You nailed it Po Boy. This was classic Chuck.

I think there are three main factors that make this so Chuckish, 1. He mentions wanting to dance, 2. He says "hella good", which is the classic balance of cool and corny that Chuck is constantly shooting for, and 3. The energy......the way he says hella good and talks about dancing, coupled with the exclamation point at the end show the reader that Chuck is energetic and in a good mood, which are things he always strives to portray unless the update is about law school.


Question 2 - Correct answer: C
A. Chuck wishes i could rid the world of ohio state fans!
B. Chuck misses the bus once a week no matter how early i get up! no class today!
C. Chuck wishes i had been watching football instead of studying! go blue!
D. Chuck misses the simpler times when I was in undergrad!

A great analysis by both Chuckfanatic and Po Boy on this one. Chuck LOVES to let people know he's studying and I would say it's rare that he would mention football or sports without mentioning studying in the same sentence. I would also agree that Chuck is a glass half full kind of guy and that he probably would not say that he wanted to rid the world of Ohio State fans (although take note of his update in question 4). I think D was a totally legit answer except that the "I" is capitalized, which is a dead giveaway that it's not Chuck since he never capitalizes anything (nor does he often use apostrophes or commas).

What's different and interesting about this Chuck update is that the "studying v. leisure activity" dichotomy is in the past tense instead of in the present, showing us that Chuck now REGRETS having studied earlier in the day (instead of "Chuck is watching dolphins and made the right choice"). Seriously? WOW Chuck, what a terrible regret to have in life, who knew that going through the most rigorous academic program known to man (a lower tier law school program) would entail such sacrifice? Years from now I'm sure you'll remember this game and the fact that you studied instead of watching it.....but listen, scars are reminders buddy, and they will only make you stronger. Remember when John Travolta's character decides to keep his scar in the movie Face/Off even though the surgeon could remove it for him? Exactly.


Question 3 - Correct answer: A
A. Chuck is doing law college stuff
B. Chuck is doing homework whilst not wearing a shirt
C. Chuck is school sucks but his classmates rock!
D. Chuck is torting then rock band then torting then sleeping!

This was probably the most challenging question, as it was both subtle and simplistic. I can see why answer B was picked twice, as it involved homework but was also provocative and likely to garner comments from his friends. There were two votes for D, but Chuck usually doesn't provide an extensive schedule of his daily events unless they include cooking, drinking, studying, and watching tv in some order.

This update may have been subtle, but it was PURE Chuck. If Chuck had let me write this update for him, it would have said, "Chuck is in law school and doing things that are so complex that people who aren't in law school could never understand them, even rocket scientists would be blown away, no pun intended!" This update is clearly begging for questions as well, since if Chuck was doing homework he would have just said, "Chuck is dying slowly and painfully, but wishes he was at a petting zoo"........Instead, Chuck knew his friends would be thinking, "What other law college stuff is there besides homework??? I MUST KNOW!"

Question 4 - Correct answer: D
A. Chuck is a better cook than sarah palin!
B. Chuck is wondering how anyone could vote for a man that cant use the internet?
C. Chuck is palin could learn a thing or two from law school or by reading the constitution!
D. Chuck is mccain is a desperate and pathetic old white man.

I can't blame anyone for picking B here. Chuck would totally say that. I'm glad some people picked C too because Chuck, and many first year law students in general, think that they know a great deal about the law, even though they are clueless. If you've ever had a conversation with a first year law student about some sort of legal-related news, they will pontificate upon the subject for a moment, but if you ask them even one question they won't have an answer because they don't really know much. It's funny and sad and true, like Budweiser, but with funny and sad added in.

This may have been the most 'unfair' question because the political/caustic/negative side of Chuck is almost never apparent. However, I do think that the language used in this update is hilarious and right up Chuck's alley. WHY would Chuck post this as an update? Is he trying to show his small town friends (re: republicans) that he left behind when he moved to the big city how liberal he is now? Regardless, I think that we can all agree that we appreciate Chuck's contributions to the political dialogue. I remember when the election was a few days away and I was planning to vote for Mccain, mostly because I wanted to hatefuck Sarah Palin, but then I saw this Chuck update and I knew I couldn't vote for him. He's old and white? WHAT! I didn't know that! Seriously? WHITE? Who knew? Thanks Chuck, democracy is safe in your hands.


Question 5 - Correct answer: C
A. Chuck if you dont want random drunk people to build a snowman in the entrance to your store, maybe you shouldnt have a sign that says “holiday cheer is welcome here!”
B. Chuck if you don’t want random drunk people to raid your buffet, maybe you shouldnt be open at 3 in the afternoon! recovering now!
C. Chuck if you dont want random drunk people to stumble into your house and sleep in your bed, maybe your welcome mat shouldnt say "come in, the parties inside!"
D. Chuck if you dont want random drunk people to play duck duck goose, maybe your bar shouldnt have circular tables!

The fake updates in this question were the most fun to write because I stuck to the format of the actual update and I just tried to come up with ridiculous, yet Chuck-like, shit. I also loved chuckfanatic's explanation as to why he picked C, the correct answer, when he said, "I really really want this one to be true." Others who answered seemed to think that Chuck was incapable of having an experience as described in that update, and I would tend to agree with that assessment. However, remember that Chuck thinks being drunk and random is updating his facebook status at 2:30am. I definitely thought that the duck duck goose answer was the most believable, although Po Boy made a compelling argument for the 'buffet' answer, and I would mention that "recovering now" was a last minute addition to that answer.

Let's take a moment to dissect this. I think that I, along with any rational human being, would not assume that a sign saying that there is a party means that the party host is expecting drunk people to just enter his house and immediately pass out in his bed. But is that what Chuck did? If so, I would imagine that he stumbled into the house, pushed his way past some good looking girls, slammed half a bottle of Zima, yelled "bah bah bah" because Sweet Caroline was playing, and then passed out on the homeowner's bed. Newsflash: THAT IS NOT A PARTY CHUCK. That is called being the asshole who can't hold his liquor (Zima). Chuck, what you are describing sounds a lot like the parties that I used to have when I was in 3rd grade, but instead of calling them parties we called them “Sleepovers”, and instead of drinking Zima we drank mountain dew and caught a caffeine buzz. It's nothing personal Chuck, but I would have dipped your hand in cold water SO FAST if you had ever attended one of my sleepovers! Obviously you're always first to fall asleep.....
In reality, none of this probably happened. But what's hilarious is that Chuck tried really hard to make that update sound so cool and he failed SO MISERABLY. Better luck next time Chuck, try mixing your Zima with water......

Chuck: Contradictor, Rebel, Comedy Provider, Nature Lover

Chuck Update - 9/28/08 - 12:19pm
Chuck http://www.hulu.com/watch/36863/saturday-night-live-couric--palin-open.

My thoughts
A link to that skit from SNL where Tina Fey does a killer impression of Sarah Palin, AWESOME!!! Thanks for posting this link on this lovely MONDAY AFTERNOON Chuck! However, wildly enough, I happen to have seen it already. Can you believe that shit? You see, I communicate often with my pen pal in Namibia and I received a letter from him in the mail on Monday morning which contained the link to this video, so I guess he beat you to the punch......but just barely! Even though this video shot through the internet like wildfire, I'm sure you were enjoying some "random drunkenness" and didn't learn about it until today. Thanks for the effort Chuck, the tortoise always beats the hare!



Chuck Update - 9/30/08 - 4:29pm
Chuck is fighting the blues.



Chuck Update - 10/03/08 - 12:37am
Chuck is sick of school, but cant be depressed when its fall in this beautiful town!

1 Comment from Chuck's Friends at 12:47am
This town must have a very different effect on you than me. I couldn't say, however, how it might affect the reasonably prudent person.

My thoughts
The reasonably prudent person!?! Bravo commenter. As you've clearly figured out, legal jokes are HILARIOUS. Well, they're either hilarious or a thinly veiled attempt to show off your limited legal knowledge. Obviously this commenter has been learning a great deal under the tutelage of Master Chuck. Regardless, I don't know why law students think its socially acceptable to make these types of tenuous connections between what they've learned in school and their every day conversations and observations. Last year I watched the season finale of the Bachelor with 4 med students (I know I know, but they were all girls.....). Anyways, when the Bachelor was about to put the engagement ring on Sarah's finger, NONE of the med students turned to me and said, "I can't believe the Bachelor is about to put that engagement ring on Sarah's second metacarpal on her left manus! She'll be able to feel it because of her median nerve, but I bet her nerves are way above the median! HEY-OHHHH!"



Chuck Update - 10/03/08 - 6:34pm
Chuck is LAW SCHOOL BOOZE CRUISE!



Chuck Update - 10/04/08 - 9:14pm
Chuck is staying in to watch sports and read contracts :(.

1 Comment from Chuck's Friends - 11:34pm
chuck you don't watch sports. come on.

Chuck's response at 11:36pm
... i was flipping between the cubs and titanic

My thoughts
Chuck. BUDDY. Come on. You're slipping! It took you TWO WHOLE MINUTES to respond to your friend's comment. I will assume that your delay in responding was caused by the fact that you were flipping between Titanic, the Notebook, AND "The Cubs: the Beginning of the Berenstein Bears." I think that the reason the Chuck System is so impressive is because of how he dedicates one of his fingers to clicking "Refresh" on his browser at all times, so as not to miss any changes on facebook. I'm also blown away by the amazing amount of self contradiction Chuck can fit into two sentences. He was flipping between a baseball game and a movie, while supposedly reading contracts? DOUBTFUL. Everyone knows that you can't read contracts while watching Titanic or a Cubs game because of the tears that well up in your eyes. As always, Chuck should have had me write this update for him, and it would have said, "Chuck is soaking in his bathtub while watching Titanic, and his water is warmer than the water Jack and Rose are in! Oops, I just got bubbles on my keyboard!"



Chuck Update - 10/05/08 - 11:31pm
Chuck is watching a special about dolphins instead of outlining, and made the right choice :).


My thoughts
"Dolphins? DOLPHINS! No he dih-int!"............I'm SURE that's what Chuck thought his friends would be thinking when they read this update. You see, Chuck wants to be respected for studying hard, but he also makes it quite clear that he has a wild, unpredictable side and you never know what he might do next. Sorry Chuck, but it's all too transparent! I'm just waiting until you take it to the next level with your updates with something like, "Chuck just pooped. DAMNIT. I can't believe I just wasted 5 minutes. I should have done some torting while I was in there."
On another note, the smugness of the smiley face at the end of Chuck's update made me throw up a little.

Chuck is a happy rebel

Chuck Update - 10/13/08 - 5:04am
Chuck is smiling.

My thoughts
This is a Chuck Cliffhanger if I've ever seen one, Chuck was obviously thinking, "There's a MILLION reasons I could be smiling, and people are gonna wanna know what the real reason is!". However, I think I've cracked the case. Chuck posted this update at 5:04am, and I'm pretty sure there was a woman lying in his bed when he updated. I can picture it in my head: Chuck put the tip in, just barely, then the girl moaned a little, and Chuck got a huge grin on his face. Then he realized that if he told everyone on facebook that he was smiling then all his friends would ask him why he was smiling and he would be able to brag about losing his virginity. So he ran out of bed and into the den, wearing only toe socks and a lambskin condom, and updated his facebook status. He felt excited after the update and thought to himself, "The world shall know the truth!" Meanwhile, his late night lover quietly slipped out the front door and left a note on the coffee table that said, "Sorry Chuck, I don't wanna fuck."



Chuck Update - 10/13/08 - 10:51pm
Chuck is surging ahead in his studies!


Chuck Update - 10/14/08 - 5:08pm
Chuck just voted for Obama! OBAMA BIDEN 08!



Chuck Update - 10/16/08 - 1:28am
Chuck is going to be up all night doing homework, so i can go home for the weekend and fall incredibly far behind.

1 Comment from Chuck's friends at 1:48am
me too :'(

Chuck's response at 1:50am
im skipping larc and torts like its 4th grade and you can just do that without dropping out of the top ten percent

My thoughts
Another brilliant phrase straight out of the "Dictionary of Chuck." Most of us understand the generally accepted meaning of staying up all night and doing homework. However, in the language of Chuck, staying up all night and doing homework clearly means to bring up facebook on his web browser and repeatedly hit "refresh" until someone comments on his most recent post. Notice that Chuck responded to his friend's comment TWO minutes after it was posted. TWO! Not to mention that he compared skipping two law school classes to skipping class in 4th grade. Did anyone skip class in 4th grade? Maybe a few ultra-rebels, but I assure you that Chuck was not one of them. Chuck was the kid in 4th grade art class who cried when his clay pot didn't come out looking perfect, not the kid who smoked Marlboro Reds on the playground. Regardless, Chuck is super cool for skipping class and has my vote for "Badass Law Student of the Year Who Skips Class All the Time and Doesn't Even Give a Fuck."



Chuck Update - 10/16/08 - 4:51pm
Chuck is literally a train wreck. after stressing out about skipping class and then staying up all night to finish my homework assignment... my train left early...

2 Comments from Chuck's Friends
Comment 1 - Well that sucks. How is Law School going? Its gotta be tough, but if you can handle being a manager, you can do anything. Ha
Comment 2 - it's impossible for you to 'literally' be a train wreck. you would have to be a train...

My thoughts
Stressing out about skipping class? I thought you were skipping class "like it's 4th grade" Chuck? Guess not. Clearly commenter number 1 has bought into Chuck's "law school is so hard - please feel sorry for me" schtick. Personally I'd rather get paid to go to law school then get paid to be a manager at Burger King. As for commenter number 2, WOW......

NOTE to all students of the Chuck Academy of Comedic Arts and Online Commenting: the Academy does NOT make you a funny person, it makes people want to stab you. Please give Clown College a try.

The BEGINNING of Law School

The first couple weeks of Chuck's law school career were filled with updates that capture the essence of Chuck; his skewed sense of reality, his self pity, and his establishment that what he is doing is tough and important. Here they are...



Chuck Update - 8/19/08 - 11:10am
Chuck is starting law school tomorrow!



Chuck Update - 8/20/08 - 2:09am
Chuck is a lawyer! sort of.


My thoughts
Chuck is REALLY jumping the gun here. However, what's really shocking about this update is that it was posted at 2:09am. I suppose that Chuck's anxiety about law school was preventing him from sleeping so he decided to get out of bed, at 2:09am, and show everyone on facebook that he was both a lawyer and a comedian. SORT OF! Haha, I get it Chuck, you're not actually a lawyer yet.



Chuck Update - 8/20/08 - 9:20am
Chuck is LAW SCHOOL BABY!

My thoughts
I, along with all of Chuck's friends, was so relieved when I read this update. WHEW! 7 hours and 11 minutes before this update, when Chuck said he was a lawyer, I was so confused as to what he meant! Now that I know that "Chuck is Law School Baby" the world makes sense again. Thanks Chuck, you're always there for me.



Chuck Update - 8/22/08 - 7:08pm
Chuck is trying to develop good habits early. its hard.


Chuck Update - 8/23/08 - 5:49pm
Chuck is reading contracts. im on page 6. ive been at it all day.

My thoughts
This is a CLASSIC first year law student post. It transcends Chuck (yes, it's possible). This update is clearly meant to garner sympathy from Chuck's friends because of how EXCRUCIATING it is to read law school textbooks when you're first starting out. The subtext to this update you ask? Well it's clearly Chuck's devotion......."I will read until I'm done, even if it takes all day! Do you see my devotion? You see it RIGHT!?!"



Chuck Update - 8/23/08 - 10:00pm
Chuck my power went out and i dropped my phone, apparantly sending texts i did not write to everyone in my phonebook... if that was you disregard.


My thoughts
You could almost say that this update is off topic, but I find it quite curious anyway. First off, the power going out made Chuck drop his phone? Questionable. I've been in a lot of rooms with a lot of people when the power has gone out and I've never seen anyone lose motor function because of it. Then, apparently, while the phone was laying on the ground, it managed to start a new text message, include everyone in Chuck's phonebook, and then type out some sort of message? I'm not buying it. Did Chuck use his phone to mop the floor once he dropped it? NO. Here's what really happened. Chuck was pissed off about how slow his Contracts reading assignment was going earlier in the day, so he closed his book and sat down with a nice bottle of White Zinfandel. 5 glasses later Chuck drunk texted a girl that he had just met at law school that day and said, "Hey Mona, it's Chuck from law school baby! Anyways, I just wanted you to know that I'm going to be a lawyer someday and that I'm in love with you." When he realized that he might have gone too far with that text, he posted this update to slyly cover his ass. Too bad I CAN SEE RIGHT THROUGH YOU CHUCK.



Chuck Update - 8/24/08 - 1:13pm
Chuck is studying, because thats what law students do.

My thoughts
This one is too painful to think about it. Get over yourself Chuck.



Chuck Update - 8/25/08 - 5:25pm
Chuck was watching the peoples court, and the judge quoted the UCC implied warranty of merchantability. go law school!

My thoughts
Chuck should have had me write this post for him, it would have said, "HEY! HEY! HEY! All my friends that aren't in law school listen up! You guys don't know what the UCC Implied Warranty of Merchantability is do you? Well I do! I'm in law school remember?!?"



Chuck Update - 8/28/08 - 8:01pm
Chuck needs this weekend to hurry up.



Chuck Update - 8/30/08 - 4:33pm
Chuck SURVIVED WEEK ONE OF LAW SCHOOL.

My thoughts
No way! I lost a huge bet on this one. I thought there was no way Chuck would make it through the first week. The first week is always so intense, you're not sure who to sit next to in class, sometimes you can't find the right classroom, and you definitely don't want to get called on and make a bad first impression in front of your classmates......it's a NIGHTMARE! Other hurdles include the fact that you are a mere speck in a sea of 200 students, on the first day of class your professors go over their syllabi, and you also don't have any tests, quizzes, or assignments due. Obviously only the best and brightest people (and well trained apes) could ever survive it. Studies have shown that 90% of people that drop out of law school do so in their first week. However, scholars tend to disagree about what is harder, the first week of law school, or Navy Seals BUDs training. Regardless, we're proud of you Chuck: you're a brave, intelligent, amazing mother fucker.




On a sidenote, the Saved by the Bell episode where the gang decides to sell friendship bracelets was on today, and the Blurb about the show read:

"Friendship loses when friends compete against friends to sell tokens of friendship."

LOTS of Chuck feeling bad for himself

Here's Chuck at his best, unabashedly trying to garner sympathy...

Note: Chuck wore a superman onesy for Halloween, complete with fake muscles.



Chuck Update - 11/01/08 - 2:10pm
Chuck has the coolest kids in his law school class. seriously. amazing kids.


Chuck Update - 11/04/08 - 10:44am
Chuck is we are the change we've been waiting for OBAMA BIDEN.


Chuck Update - 11/04/08 - 9:44pm
Chuck is so happy and so ready for the next eight years!!


Chuck Update - 11/06/08 - 6:44pm
Chuck is sexy and mysterious coffee shop boy.

My thoughts:
If I had to think of a creative way to describe Chuck, "sexy and mysterious coffee shop boy" would be at the bottom of my list. Chuck is the guy at the coffee shop who has a crush on the waitress because of her "unique" bohemian style, which is complimented by her tattoos and a lip ring. If Chuck would let me write his updates, like he should, I would have said, "Chuck is looking down at the table while talking to his predictably coifed coffee shop waitress, but thinks she's digging his lonely and insecure vibe. I'm tipping 50%!"



Chuck Update - 11/06/08 - 1:06pm
Chuck is so glad to be done with larc and is ready to stay in all weekend cooking, drinking wine, and studying.

3 Comment from Chuck's Friends
Comment 1: sounds pretty exciting =P where are you holed up there in town?
Comment 2: sounds like my weekend
Comment 3: if you are going to cook can you please send some meals my way so that i don't have to resort to cheesecake take out

My thoughts:
Three comments = orgasm for Chuck! I can't believe how all of Chuck's law school friends are sucked into his First-year-is-sooooo-hard bullshit. I'm assuming that comment 3 is referring to the cheesecake factory, but even if it's not, it's amazing how bad this commenter tries to make "cheesecake take out" sound. OH NO! Not cheesecake take out! Being able to constantly consume delicious take out is such a curse! No worries my commenting friend, I will send you a crate of Ramen in the mail.



Chuck Update - 11/09/08 - 12:52pm
Chuck really would love to take a day to sit and watch tv and eat salsa without feeling like a horrible waste of life. law school sucks.


Chuck Update - 11/10/08 - 4:03pm
Chuck what hurts the most.


Chuck Update - 11/12/08 - 12:13am
Chuck wakes up for school, reads for class the next day, comes home, makes dinner, studies for finals, then goes to bed...

2 Comments from Chuck's friends:
Comment 1: hmmmm sounds like my day but before school i have work :( hope ur doing well my friend.... we'll be celebrating soon .. can't wait :)
Comment 2: i wish you could just walk over to our apt...miss you chuckie poo

My thoughts:
I love how comment 1 puts Chuck in his place, but is also passive-aggressive. If you read between the lines, this update says, "Chuck has no job and no responsbilities and his life is sooooooo hard, he can't believe that he has to study for law school. STUDY! It's not fair. He doesn't deserve to be treated like this." NEWSFLASH Chuck: your life is easy and nobody feels sorry for you. Make your weekly, sobbing phone call to your mom and maybe she will send you some cookies.

FAKE CHUCK POSTS

So my roommate developed a list of Fake Chuck Updates for this upcoming semester and I thought they were pretty good, so here they are, unedited:


"Chuck is anxiously awaiting his grades to come in"
"Chuck seriously can't sit still thinking about his torts grade"
"Chuck got hammered last night!!! Oh well, exams are 4 months away!!!"
"Chuck is We're gonna party like it's 2009!"
"Chuck is Happy new years everyone!"
"Chuck can't believe his grades have not been posted yet!"
"Chuck is really how long does it take to grade an exam!"
"Chuck is Finally!!!! Ok, passed torts!!! now we just have to see about the others"
"Chuck is Wish me Luck, I'm off to a job interview!"
"Chuck is Oh Yeah, I passed with flying colors! Phew!"
"Chuck Cannot wait for the innaguration! Seriously, How exciting is this gonna be?!"
"Chuck thinks Obama looked very Presidential"
"Chuck is It's pretty awesome to have a former Con Law professor be the one upholding our Constitution"
"Chuck is, why is it so cold. Oh well more drinks to keep me warm"
"Chuck is Spring break is too far away!"

New/Old Chuck Posts

It's 430 in the morning and a little too late for me to think, but I just came across some old Chuck gems and I have to post, here we go...........



Chuck Update - 10/29/08 - 7:24pm
Chuck : law students this friday are analagous to a complete shitshow as to the issue of it being halloween and being finally done with this huge memorandum.

1 Comment from Chuck's Friends
Ha.

My thoughts:
Chuck Chuck Chuck. That is the worst sentence I've ever read. First off, you can't fucking analogize ANYTHING to being a shitshow. Something is a shitshow (Chuck), or isn't a shitshow (Oreos), things are never "like" a shitshow because shitshow has no meaning. The only thing worse than this Chuck Update is the comment from his friend. That patronizing son of a bitch. I'll bet a million dollars that Chuck thought his friend really found his update humorous.


Chuck Update - 10/30/08 - 8:38pm
Chuck is larc'd out after this week

My thoughts:
We've seen this one before! "Larc'd" is clearly short for larceny. Nevertheless, Chuck's creative use of the English language will not be very useful when he becomes a court reporter after law school.


Chuck Update - 10/30/08 - 8:52pm
Chuck needs to do something to remind myself i'm a human.

My thoughts:

Old Chuck Updates

Here are a bunch of old updates.....some of them include the types of comments from his friends that Chuck is clearly attempting to provoke.....some of the comments i've left out because they are TOO annoying.....

Chuck is if i fail out law school i'm going to get a job in the library so i can still hang out here.


1 Comment from Chuck's friends
I thought one of the benefits of failing out of law school was not having to set foot in the library again...

Chuck is takig a bath and reading contracts. this is how i relax.


My thoughts:
Note how much Chuck plays up the sympathy schtick. His life is so terrible that the only way he can relax is to read for law school. Get over yourself Chuck. Try masterbation.

Chuck is enjoying some non stop hot library action.


Chuck Update - 12/08/08 - 7:34pm
Chuck is ready to take on civpro tomorrow. god help us all.


Chuck Update - 12/09/08 - 4:24pm
Chuck is one down, two to go. you're mine contracts



Chuck Update - 12/11/08 - 3:26pm
Chuck is contracting like crazy

My thoughts:
This is VINTAGE Chuck. Notice the creativity and double meaning of "contracting". A person can contract to do something, but a law student can also study for contracts by "contracting". How had no one else thought of that before Chuck?

Chuck is torting a bit then REALLY considering a night on the town

My thoughts:
TORTING! Chuck strikes again, the English language quivers.....



Chuck Update - 12/14/08 - 12:13pm
Chuck is back at the library torting. tuesday can not come fast enough. book your drinking time now.


Chuck Update - 12/14/08 - 2:27pm
Chuck is wandering through the chicago streets at night.


Chuck Update - 12/14/08 - 9:16pm
Chuck is making a vodka pasta sauce with chicken sausage. im so cool.

2 comments from Chuck's friends
Comment 1: yes you are. cool, and likely to have a major coronary by the age of 30.
Comment 2: do u deliver? jessie & i are starving...:)- we're at the usually 24/7 we will include a really good tip!


My thoughts:
I can't decide what is worse, the updates or the comments. Chuck must have been grinning ear to ear when he saw those 2 comments. Meanwhile I was looking for a knife and a cheap plane ticket so I could do some "Torting" at Chuck's apartment.

Chuck Update - 12/16/08 - 12:53am

Chuck Update - 12/17/08 - 2:37am
Chuck is day two of no school. day two of random drunkeness.

My thoughts:
Yes Chuck, random drunkenness. You are so drunk and so random that instead of meeting some strangers, getting high on their roof, and throwing a turkey carcas off of it, you are updating your facebook status at 2:37 am. So random.



Chuck Update - 12/18/08 - 5:25pm
Chuck is busting out the crock pot, jamming to some tunes, and being extremely unproductive.

My thoughts:
If you know any law students then you know that the first thing they do after exams is to constantly brag about being unproductive. In some sort of twisted law student way, this is supposed to sound both funny and awesome. Chuck is being unproductive? Me too, ME TOO!



Chuck Update - 12/19/08 - 1:04pm
Chuck might not put on pants for the entire day.



Chuck Update - 12/22/08 - 1:54am
Chuck is now aware that tap dancing does not distract police officers.

uh oh... as it would turn out, there are certain things even a good charleston cannot fix

1 response to Chuck's friends from Chuck
bribery also isnt a good solution

My thoughts:
I can't imagine the thousands of people that were yearning to hear what actually happened to Chuck after he left this amazing cliffhanger. I wanted to know so bad that I shutdown my computer and went to bed.......



Chuck Update - 12/23/08 - 2:09am
Chuck really meant he was taking a freezing cold 9 hour train ride... i need to find an alternate route home.

1 comment from Chuck's friends
You had an adventure! Hot bitches on the train, riots at the station ... Still prefer the south where people are shuddering at 45 degree weather. I just stole my dad's cardigan

1 response to Chuck's friends from Chuck
