Birthday Month Top 5 – Cars

Posted on October 21, 2022 by Just Chuck

Not much to say about this one. I no longer own this car but it was a blast to drive. I love my Ram 1500 Lone Star edition with a hemi but I could go for another Mustang.

  1. Mustang – nuff said

Birthday Month Top 5 – Cartoon Shows

Posted on October 20, 2022 by Just Chuck

Tonight I present my Top 5 favorite cartoon shows. This will be an all time favorite list whether presently on TV and not.

  • Teen Titans Go! – Jamie loves it but there is so much more adult humor that kids miss.  Funny stuff.
  • Harley Quinn – very funny sh!t.  NOT FOR KIDS.  Takes the DC Universe and lets characters talk like adults.  So there is a lot of F-bombs, sexual content. 
  • SpongeBob Squarepants – I was a SS fan before anyone knew who SS was.
  • Batman the Animated Series – Used to watch this religiously with Jonathan and of course he had all the associated toys.
  • Beavis and Butthead – heh heh, I am Cornholio.  I need T.P. for my bunghole.  Funny stuff back when MTV played music videos.

Birthday Month Top 5 – Comic Book Artists

Posted on October 19, 2022 by Just Chuck

If you know me you know I collect comics. And I’ve been collecting for a long time. Over the years I’ve come to have favorite artist. Below are my Top 5 and the reason why.

  1. Alex Ross – anything he draws or paints cause his stuff is damn close to reality.
  2. Sal Buscema – Captain America run with Steve Englehart writing (1972-1975) was the best seller and my first endeavor into reading comics.
  3. John Romita (senior) – his Amazing Spider-Man took a gangly, wimpy Steve Ditko version and beefed him up.
  4. Jim Starlin – his Captain Marvel is the definitive Captain Marvel (Mar-Vell), he also was the creator of Thanos. He has his creator owned Dreadstar comic as well
  5. John Byrne – he drew the Fantastic Four as normal body proportions (except for the Thing) and he created Alpha Flight (the Canadian X-Men), he also wrote and drew the She-Hulk comics that the Disney show is based on.

Birthday Month Top 5 – Comic Book Characters

Posted on October 18, 2022 by Just Chuck

Today I’d like to share my Top 5 favorite comic book characters. I’ve been reading comics for a long time. As a kid (6th grade) I was reading Captain America and Spider-Man regularly. Sadly those comics ended up at the thrift store on base. But in 1982 I started collecting seriously and have been buying comics monthly since then. I’ve got almost 17,000 comics as of this post. Fun Fact: new comics are released in comic stores every week on Wednesday.

Birthday Month Top 5 – Alcoholic Beverages

Posted on October 16, 2022 by Just Chuck

I’m not much of a drinker, to be honest, but when I do here is my Top 5 in order of preference.

  • Seagram Wine Cooler – it’s a girl’s drink, so sue me. It’s like adult kool-aid to me.
  • Yuengling light – If I drink beer, Yuengling is preferred, and the light version even better. From the oldest brewery in America.
  • Shiner blonde – Texas and Blondes go together, this is another beer favorite. It’s smooth much like Yuengling Light. I like light colored beer in case you haven’t guessed.
  • Coors light – used to drink this like water after hockey games. It’s my go to beer when the two above are not available.
  • Gin and cranberry juice – occasionally I’ll drink some hard liquor and this is my preferred drink, probably because it taste like kool-aid

Birthday Month Top 5 – Candy

Posted on October 15, 2022 by Just Chuck

My Top 5 favorites candies. I don’t eat a lot of candy but with Halloween coming up, its a relevant topic.

  • Tootsie Roll – love ’em
  • Payday – my go to candy bar out on the golf course. It’s like a power bar to me. Ask my kids.
  • Sweet Tarts – fond memories of going swimming at the school pool in Monterey Louisiana and afterwards getting a BIG Sweet Tart out of the vending machine
  • Zero – another favorite candy bar.
  • French Burnt Peanuts – hard to buy unless you are going to pass a Buc-ee’s. I don’t remember when I acquired a taste for these.

Birthday Month Top 5 – Favorite Foods

Posted on October 14, 2022 by Just Chuck

Let’s get into my culinary delights. Nothing fancy here. I’m a meat and potatoes kind of guy.

  • Mom’s spaghetti – its the best. Anytime I go visit Mom she has to make spaghetti. usually on the day we arrive. She gave her recipe to us and we tried to copy it once, it was not even close to the same. I think she has some hidden ingredient not written on paper.
  • Pizza – pepperoni with extra cheese and jalapeños – oh yeah, had some of that for dinner tonight. It’s tough for most pizza places to screw this up.
  • Donuts from anywhere – my kryptonite. glazed, sprinkle covered, i love ’em. But don’t give me a bear claw or some weird blueberry cake donut shit.
  • Taco’s from anywhere – never met a taco i didn’t like. not sure about those fancy ones but gimme ground beef, cheese, lettuce and some sauce and I’m good. Soft or crunchy, it don’t matter.
  • Grande burrito with queso from Abuelos – I say Abuelos because its a local restaurant here in Dallas, but On The Border or Posados, or any decent Tex-Mex restaurant is going to have a burrito stuffed with ground beef and cheese, maybe some re-fried beans and then smothered with a thick queso (that’s melted cheese for the northern folks). Damn, I think I know what I want for dinner tomorrow night.

Birthday Month Top 5 – TV Shows Currently On

Posted on October 12, 2022 by Just Chuck

These are my Top 5 (ok 6) TV how’s that are currently on.

  1. Masked Singer – I despise the guest panel but the singing and costumes and mystery are great. I’ve guessed at least 2, maybe 3 right off the bat.
  2. Holey Moley- I think it’s returning. Rob Riggle is just hilarious. And how can you not go wrong with a golf hole call Uranus. Jokes aplenty.
  3. The Goldbergs – already mentioned, hilarious
  4. LEGO Masters – one day it would be cool to be a LEGO master
  5. Ghosts – My new favorited comedy. As good as the Goldbergs, I hope its on for awhile
  6. Quantum Leap – like the original, it is great, I hope it’s on for awhile
