Who Is Chuck?
Posted by Chuck on September 8th, 2008
Good morning! I hope you all had a wonderful weekend. Mine was nice. I’ve been thinking about writing a post that sort of gives you folks an glimpse into what kind of person I am. You know, something that will give you an idea of what the philosophical make up Old Chuckie actually is. There are those of you have known me for years. Some of you even know me on a personal level. Then there are others of you who come here who might not have a clue. All I ask is that you read (if you want) but don’t judge, but feel free to give your opinion if you’d like. So, here goes…
- I consider myself to be a moderate Republican. I’m sort of in the middle on most issues, neither too conservative or too liberal.
- I’m not completely against abortion. While I definitely don’t think it should be used as a means of birth control, I can see where there could be cases when it could be considered necessary.
- I believe in the death penalty.
- I have no problem with same sex marriage.
- I think prostitution should be legalized and taxed.
- I’m against big government.
- I’m against some forms of well fare. If you’re physically able to work you should, and not count on the government for help.
- I think I should be able to save my income however I see fit and not count on the govt. for help when I retire. If I’m too lazy to handle it myself during the years I work, then that’s my own fault.
- I was a supporter of our current president during his first term and I even voted him for his second. I now think he could very well go down in history as one of the worst in the last 75 years. But not as bad as Carter.
- I believe in the separation of church and state.
- I feel every American should be able to choose their doctors and where they send their kids to school.
- It’s my belief that we need a strong and well funded military.
- Marijuana ought to be legalized and taxed like cigarettes and alcohol.
- I do not believe there is such a thing as man made global warming.
- I’m worried about the economy and what could happen if it doesn’t get straightened out.
So, who wants to nominate me for president? LOL
Now, it wouldn’t be a Chuck post if I didn’t throw in even more points of a considerably more personal and TMI nature. Here are a few things currently going on in my life.
- I’ve not known the love of a woman in quite sometime. I fear that I just may bust soon if I don’t get me some poon.
- The duties of my job have changed. Soon I’ll be traveling a lot around the Southeast. I’ll be spending three weeks every month traveling all over Georgia and Florida. I’ll still be covering the state of Alabama as well.
- I’ll be 40 soon and I’ve found myself worrying more and more about my health and my longevity. I think it’s about time I get off my fat ass and do something about it.
- It may become necessary in the near future for me to hire some kind of live in care for my kids while I’m traveling. This also worries me.
- I’ve gotten my IBS under control, except this weekend I’ve had a relapse. Guess that’s what eating a total of 40 hot wings will do for you.
- I’ve replaced vodka as my drink of choice with iced tea sweetened with Sweet-N-Low and a twist of lime.
- I take six different prescribed pills everyday. Three for blood pressure, one for cholesterol, one for IBS and another for gout.
- I’d be a happy camper if I could find a willing female provider to administer a rusty trombone. (After the mention of IBS I’m sure I’ll have plenty of volunteers!) But first let’s get that first bullet point out of the way.
- Every year I look forward to college football season with such enthusiasm and usually get let down. So far this year is no different.
Well, there you go. So you think you know me a little better now? Wish you didn’t? Have a good Monday!

OH my I agree with you on most of the first set, except that Carter was the Worst. As for the second — no time to think as today I am once again a school girl and got to get to class.
September 8th, 2008 at 7:59 am
You TOTALLY had me until the rusty trombone. Don’t you just love that WIKIPEDIA has a definition of this and a very thorough one at that?!
I must tell you that I agree with most of your top points. And I definitely believe in the death penalty. My brother’s fiancee was murdered by an anti-abortion protester. He shot her 5 times in the carotid artery with a shotgun. She bled to death within seconds. Salvi was caught and tried in Massachusetts (where he killed Shannon and another woman and shot many others) but could NOT be put to death cuz MASS doesn’t have the death penalty.

I was livid. I would have personally flipped the switch or administered the lethal dose if they would let me.
Luckily the bastard committed suicide while in prison.

I’m fine with same sex marriages too…as long as both women are hot. We’re pretty similar on most of the other points as well.
And you’re getting a nanny?!?!? You lucky bastard!
September 8th, 2008 at 8:59 am
Not only do I now know more about you, Chuck, but I also learned what a rusty trombone is. Thank you. Thank you very much.
:)
September 8th, 2008 at 10:28 am
We agree on more than I thought. Weird. Maybe I’m not a democrat after all. Hmmmm. And thank you, I learned something new today. Rusty trombone? Who knew? And about that love…well, I hope you get some really, really soon.
September 8th, 2008 at 10:30 am
We have some things in common. Other things, maybe not so much. But, the world would be a boring as hell place to be if we were clones.
September 8th, 2008 at 11:26 am
I also agree with many of your political points. If Obama is elected, we might as well all open up our wallets and bend over. And I’m not talking about getting a rusty trombone from him.
September 8th, 2008 at 1:26 pm
Even though some of your view points don’t match mine you’re still a good American and ok in my book
I guess I should go back and click on the link for that rusty trombone thing. Looks like you’ll be in neck of the woods more often. I would say let’s do lunch but I don’t think there’s a Hooters within 200 miles.

I had a dream when i was a child that a chipmumk shaved an ostrich with a broom.
only latter did i realize that it was not an chipmumk it was my uncle Carl and it was not an ostrich it was a map of peloponnesian
September 8th, 2008 at 2:23 pm
I already figured all that out, I also think we may be brothers!
September 8th, 2008 at 2:31 pm
well now chuck I can say I have been edumcated and somewhat violated today LOL…you are absolutely/ must be/ somewhat related to me… other than the sexual orientaion thing as I obviously am female …sigh you make me grin!
hugs Laura
September 8th, 2008 at 3:23 pm
I don’t know.
I think I still need to know more.
And…
where have you been all my life?? Srsly.
;)
September 8th, 2008 at 4:34 pm
I have yet to figure out where in the heck you come up with this stuff. Shockingly enough, I’m right there with you on most points. As if that were a surprise.
But really, rusty trombone? If you truly expect to be able to partake in such “pleasures”, I would definitely lay off the IBS talk. No woman in her right mind is going to want to touch that!
September 8th, 2008 at 6:08 pm
One the first set of points we’re totally in sinc, give or take one or two. Seems like that’s a huge fist full of pills to be takin’ at your age. Sucks. And I only just learned what a “Rusty Trombone” was a while ago. A kid, senior, in one of my high school classes last year was pesterin’ this girl in the band to give him one. Went on day after day. She was cooll about it. Doubt she ever relented.
September 8th, 2008 at 8:39 pm
Make sure you don’t mention the rusty trombone thing in the ad for the nanny.
Just sayin’.
September 8th, 2008 at 8:59 pm
Why do I click the links? Why? Actually,
I’vea friend of mine has done that whenIshe, was drunk, butIshe didn’t know it had a name. Interesting. I’ll have to share that with her.Started new job today. Sigh. What a loooooooooong day.
I agree with almost all of your top points, but I already knew most of it about you. Am sorry that you’re not getting it very often. Really, I am. Then again, I could say to you what you always say to me “Well, tell that significant other of yours to get off her ass and give you some. You’re the man…take it! (ok, not really, but that’s what you would tell me!)
September 8th, 2008 at 9:06 pm
Damn. I agree with you 100% on the list at the top. Very, very scary.
The rusty trombone thing? Who knew?! I sure as hell didn’t.
September 8th, 2008 at 9:49 pm
Sorry bout ur Vols.
I suspect if some folks from my blog came over they might suspect I wrote this!
I’m with you on all of the top end.
I’m definately with you on getting my fat ass to doing something, but I will tell you this, being on the road will not help fat assedness a lick.
Gout?
fuck man
e too
damn.

Nice to meet you, chuck..I’m AirmanMom.
~AirmanMom returning to her blog…
September 9th, 2008 at 11:15 am
I’m in total agreement with your first set of bullets. Total agreement….except I think Bush may be even worse than Carter was.
The second bullet points?
I might know a few chicks that could help you out. You don’t mind a couple of STD’s do ya?
September 9th, 2008 at 1:37 pm
I’m with you on pretty much all of your bullets at the top, except the global warming — my brother calls it a “liberal Republican,” which is why I’m still undecided. For the second group, I had a feeling that was going on with bullet #1, so I’m sorry to hear about that.
September 9th, 2008 at 2:59 pm
gosh, i never knew all this about ya, Chuckster! great list! i can relate to some! especially legalizing the doobie and replacing tea with vodka! woohooooooooooooooo!
Have a great day!
September 9th, 2008 at 5:50 pm
Did I miss something? What happened to your wife…am I allowed to ask that??
September 9th, 2008 at 9:11 pm
I’d apply for that nanny job, but not if a Rusty Trombone is part of the policies or procedures
September 10th, 2008 at 12:30 am
Did you say ice-tea with sweet n lows? Yummmmmmy! Let’s get to drinking already ; )
*smiles*
September 10th, 2008 at 6:27 am
Hmm, good morning Chuck. I popped on over here from Hallies blog, since you are her Alabama host for her and Mr Sock Monkeys campaign.
You have some very interesting facts up there about yourself, that sure gave me some insight and a bit TMI for my very first visit.
Congratz on winning the sole custody of your kiddos. We hear all the time of the struggles of single mom hood but not single dad hood. My hats off to you ( if I wore a hat:))
Stop by my blog for a visit if you’d like and hope you have a great day!
September 10th, 2008 at 9:00 am
I’m cracking up at the Rusty Trambone definition. I’ve got to send that to my husband! LMAO
September 10th, 2008 at 12:22 pm
Hey! I am new to your blog and am still here, even after reading about the rusty trombone! LOL
Are you sure you are a republican? I share your opinions right down the line and I am a moderate democrat…. no matter, I think there are more of us in America who have the same views. We dont have to be extreme one way or the other.
Love your blog, and your sense of humor! I have bookmarked your blog. expect to see more of me.
have safe travels through the southeast!
September 10th, 2008 at 2:49 pm
Hi there! OMG rusty trombone, now that is funny! Your blog is awesome!
I’m new to your site and will be reading more about you!! Take a trip to the Midwest to Chicago! This is a great place!!
Take care!
September 10th, 2008 at 4:30 pm
OMG! I learned my one thing today-what a Rusty Trombone is! I then asked my husband if he knew what it was (as I sat there with a smirk on my face)-I think he figured out it was something sexual becasue first chance he had he went a looked it up on the net. We both had a huge laugh-thanks for the info. Chuck.
I feel so educated finally at 44.

Well, you root for UT so you have my vote…
…as long as you make your first act to make rooting for the Gators illegal.
September 10th, 2008 at 8:43 pm
Rusty Trombone, eh? Heard of the act, just didn’t know it had a musical name.
6 prescriptions and you ain’t even 40 yet? Son, you need to get that shit under control, and I ain’t talking about the IBS.
Good post!
September 10th, 2008 at 9:47 pm
Wow, I love your blog. Very funny. I agree with all of your opinions, except possibly on marijuana - I have impressionable kids… My blog is only funny occasionally - depends on my mood. I am also a single parent, to a 17 year old girl and a 12 year old boy. My mother has IBS, so I can definitely relate to your troubles, there. Avoid raw vegetables and cola drinks and it will help.
I have two degrees, one from Georgia and one from UT Knoxville, where I lived for 20+ years. I don’t share the football mania but I’ve seen a lot of it. I have to cheer for the Dawgs, though, because I live in Atlanta and my parents went to Georgia and most of my extended family, except one uncle who went to Tech - we don’t like to talk about him.. LOL
You keep writing, I’ll keep reading…
September 11th, 2008 at 11:22 am
Silly me… I thought you were still on haitus! Glad you’re back! I must say, I agree with everything you brought up in part one. Part two? I can relate to some of those (I’m not saying exactly which ones). Good luck on them all!
September 11th, 2008 at 3:44 pm
Yay, your back darlin, boy I sure did miss you. I was jus thinking about you and wondring what you been up to. Sending you lot’s of Love and Big Big Hug’s…………
September 11th, 2008 at 8:25 pm
Oh goody, you’re back! Thanks for the rusty trombone reference. Geez you can find anything on wiki, no wonder our school doesn’t let the kids use it. Welcome back
