Carol of the bells claymation special

In 1987 the California Rasins were taking the world by storm. They even got their own Christmas Special. Such and underrated Christmas special. The show was just basically music videos linked together by two dinosaurs who hosted the show. IT was actually really well done.

The rasins come at out later to close the show. This was my fav. and by far the most funny of the bunch. If people want I will post more.

"Richie Richard$"

First off the the Penguins/ Flyers game Tuesday was easily the most fun I had at a game in years. WoW! Fights, two hat tricks, trash talk to the penguins fans, and just energy all over the building. Upon leaving people were just yelling and cheering. Made me almost forget the snoozefest of a Bruins game.

My record is 2-1 this season.


Secondly, Micheal Richards (giddy up!)will be playing with the Flyers till I am 40. Or at least that is what his contract says. Richards the future captain of the team signed a 12 year extention. Thats just insane. I am happy to keep a center to build around like that. But, I must say I didnt see it coming so soon. The money is something insane like 69 million over 12 years.

I really hope they keep this core team together. The Flyers in the past has seemed to given up on young talent to quick. Partrick Sharp, Jon Sim, Justin Williams, and Vinny PRospal were all players we got crap for in return.


Now the Flyers have to break this win/lose streak that is driving me up freaking wall.


Also, I offically HATE sid Crosby. I mean what like weasel. Takes out Biron than is too much of a chicken to return to the ice. PLease. I hope Eager nails him next time we play. Although, I bet he refuses to go out there if Eager is on the ice.

"Legendary Letter"

I came across this letter to the fans of the best comedy on tv right now. How I Met Your Mother (HIMYM to the fans). Basically the two creators/writers are addressing their loyal fans who have suffered ups and downs including a rumor of cancellation at the end of season 2. Season 3 was to have 24 shows instead of the usual 22, which was going to be Legendary. But, instead we have nothing but our DVDS to clench close to our hearts for who knows how long.

Here is the letter from the Carter Bays and Craig Thomas. It is a good read even if you are not a fan of the show. If you don't watch the show, netflix it during the writers strike and introduce yourself to the best comedy since Seinfeld.

Hello HIMYM fans. Motherheads? Howsiers? What are you calling yourselves these days? So first things first, thank you for the incredible support you guys have given us over the years. We mean it. When you create a show, you never think you're doing anything more than telling a funny story. But apparently we've created a community, and it seems to be a community of pretty decent people. It's a community we'd probably want to have a beer with. Our fans seem cool and smart and funny, and it drives us to want to make the show better, to never let it stagnate, to always push ourselves to try something interesting and new.

So thank you. Anyway, we'd like to take a little moment here to come out from behind the desk, cool-11th-grade-english-teacher-style, roll up our sleeves and "rap" at you guys for a bit. We want to talk about the strike. By now you probably know what strike we're talking about, but if you don't, watch this movie: http://youtube.com/watch?v=oJ55Ir2jCxk

What it boils down to is this: Tonight’s episode of “How I Met Your Mother” is the last new one for a while. Starting next week, we grimly trudge off the map and into the desert of reruns and reality TV. We can’t tell you how difficult this last month and a half has been for us, both personally and professionally. We work with the best people in this business – the best at their jobs, the best at being nice and decent human beings – and the thought of all of them out of work over the holidays is almost too much to bear. We miss them all every day. That’s by far the suckiest part of the strike – nothing tops that.

But there’s other suckiness, such as the suckiness of having to put this story on pause. We love our show. We love the stories we get to tell. And this year on How I Met Your Mother, we think the story is particularly great. A very juicy, breathtaking, funny, and (to use our director Pam's word) yummy story was just starting to unfold as the ax began to fall. We're very excited about the second half of this season, and not bringing it to you right now, factory-direct, sparkling-new, is simply killing us. But enough with our problems. The reason we’re writing today is to beseech you guys, the fans of this show, to bear with us. The love and support you’ve shown us over the last two and a half seasons has been truly surprising and awesome, and we hope you’ll rejoin us when this whole mess is over with.

But for now, this is going to have to be a long distance relationship. We know you’ll get lonely, and Mario Lopez is such a good dancer… but come on, hang in there. Sure, long distance doesn’t ever work for anyone, but we’re different. What we’ve got is special. We can make this work. But in the meantime, if you want to help us end this strike quickly, please visit www.fans4writers.com. That site explains exactly what the WGA is asking for, exactly why it’s completely reasonable, and exactly how you can show your support. And just in case the strike goes on so long that the medium of television goes out of business forever and we never get to make another episode, the mother is the coat check girl.

Happy Holidays! Carter Bays and Craig Thomas

"So they Marched All Night Long"

The writer's strike has reached its sixth week. I will be honest, I don't think its really had much the impact so far aside from screwing lots of people who are not on strike out of jobs. I mean as far as the public giving a damn about it.

Aside from myself, and people I know who take an interest in the enterainment business, people are either unware or apathetic about a strike at all. I talked to some co-workers about it recently. Another person after I told him that Leno, Letterman and Conan were in reruns for a month, brought up that he thought late night tv was dead anyway. He said as long as The DAily Show and Colbert report were still new, he hadn't even noticed the shows had gone dark for over a month. To be honest, my concern about the strike would be down about 2 or 3 notches if it wasn't about to ruin the final Season (and many ways the series) of SCrubs.

Very few network shows have any new scripts left before the strike, so many shows have shut down production. THe shows that do have episodes left were intended as shows like 24 or Lost that start mid-season anyway. But the problem is they have only a few. I had heard 24's upcoming season was so bad they had to rewrite it. Lost will only have 8 shows. Aside from a few other mid-season replacements, come 2008, it will be reruns and reality.


After two weeks of talking, talks broke off last friday bettween studios and writers. During thanksgiving weekend the writers took off and didnt picket, and studio big wigs arent used to working during the holidays. So, I figure that we might be looking at the 2nd week of January before the two sides even go back to talking about anything.

The writers are taking a stand, but sadly they are screwing lots of people who will never benefit from the strike during the holiday season. Makeup people, camera crews, wardrobe people, and various others are all losing their jobs.

The crappy thing is, people love reality tv, and will eat up many of the new shows launching after the holidays. Which means if the strike is ever settled many of the shows will be canned anyway to make room for the new over night reality show hits. Leaving some writers with no job to return to.

Not sure if its the fact that there are still a few new shows of popular programs left or if people are distracted with their own problems right now. But its been 6 weeks, and for the most part America aside from Hollywierd has moved on with their lives. We live in a society where we entertain each other anyway with MYSPACE and YOUTUBE. Maybe we are not on the edge of a new media but different pop-culture all together. Recent studies have shown that pretty much all of the young europeans prefer the Internet to TV anyway.

One wonders if people will make time again to see what Republican is getting slammed on REal Time, too see Leno's headlines, or spend time with the zany office workers. Bettween when now and when the strike gets settled is plenty of time for people to pick up new routines to get them their their mundane work weeks.

"Deck the Hall and Oates"

This is for you Mosco Buddy! Im posting Hall and Oates (no not old videos of Adam Oates and Brett Hull the other Hall and OAtes!). This is them doing Jingle Bell Rock just in time for the holidays. Such a goofy, goofy video. I wonder if one of the boxes has a sweater with snow flakes on it or not.

"No one is Actually Reading this Blog Headline"

Okay, I hate the Islanders. BUt I have to say they have some of the hottest ice girls around. This is part of my new feature on Tucker's world where I honor the girls that work really really really hard for the game of hockey. Each night they are bending over, skating around and cleaning up ice shavings. They try really hard and love their teams. So very, very, very much. One word to sum up this Islanders girl, and it rhymes with ice....it rhymes with ...................ICCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCE!

"Cookie Monster vs Kappy"

The Philadelphia Flyers have played some strange hockey lately. One game they knock off the Senators who were red hot, the next game they drop to Washington. One game they beat the canes, next game they come out like zombies and lose to the Dallas Stars game. Stars aren't awful team but they had played an insane amount of games in a short period of time. There is no reason why the Stars could skate around the Flyers. The flyers came out almost like they didn't care past Saturday.


At the skate zone the things got heated during practice. All around nice guy Sami Kapanen and 2nd line center Danny Briere ended up fighting each other. NOw, its not uncommon for this to happen once in awhile, but it usually happens in the pre-season. What is so odd about it, is that its likely a fight bettween two of the smallest guys on the team and two guys you would never expect that from. I think Kappy has been in something like two fights since we got him. Danny is not a fighter, an occassonial dirty player with the butt of the stick in the gut, but not a drop the glvoes guy.


Well at least they seem to care still. Hopefully, there is no bad blood and they can move on. The flyers will go on the road now and play the Wild than the lanche. After that they come home for 3 games. They need to start winning games in a row. The win/lose streak needs to end if the team wants to go anywhere. Now would be a good time to start that.

Sounds like Kappy threw the first punch. Not sure if there was a winner before the teamates stepped in an broke it up.

"Soundwave: The True Hollywood Story"

One second your are starring in the biggest movie of 1986. The next second your agent won't return your calls.


It's a long road to the bottom for Soundwave, and during this behind the scenes special he does drop more F-bombs than he ever did on the original tv-series.

Enjoy the 2nd ever video on Tucker's world. Drew, if you and the guys haven't seen it yet. Its a must view at the next get together at your place.

Video Killed the Blooger Star

You might have noticed some things have changed on the blog. Tucker's World is no longer green. For two reasons.

1. It was kind of like eating a turkey burger. It just didn't feel right.

2. What the point in fighting a cause? The man is just going to win in the end anyway. Besides, I think this problem will just solve itself like most global issues like, AIDS, and the Kosovos.

Now its time for a history lesson my friends.

In 1776 our country was born. Then for awhile nothing happened. In 1969, a man landed on the moon. In 1975 Jaws came out. In 1979, Tucker was born and this video was the first thing shown on MTV. Now MTV sucks and has nothing to do with music.

Now, I can post videos when I like instead of links. Which means if you are like me and read blogs at work. It will likely say "Access Denied" thats because the kill-joys in coproate don't want us watching videos. They are jerks.

Seriously though, I have a lot planned for this now. So,much more I can do. Enjoy the first video ever on Tucker's World. "Video Killed the Radio STar" by some guy that looks like my hippie Biology professor from Camden County College. He always wore sandals and once made us walk around in the woods looking for leafs. Most people think of the first video when they here this. Since I was either not born yet,or an infant I just think of Rex Manning day

"Bobble Briere"

Tonight I went to my third game of my 11 game plan for the Philadelphia Flyers. It was DAnny Briere Bobble head night! I lucked out. Now in years past the Flyers would never do such a thing. Now they are desperate for anyone to the game they will try anything. They even had a man dressed as a hotdog in Center City earlier this season. I guess its a backlash from the worst season ever. Many season ticket holders told Comcast to stick where the sun don't shine when asked to pony up for another year of debt keep their tickets.

The first game I went to this season, I was shocked how few people were at the game. In seasons past I had gone to pre-season games that were more crowded. The funny thing is many of the former season ticket holders were behind the nets. Which has resulted in a sea of red on either end of the ice.

The Bobble head night for me is just a cool bonus since I paid for the tickets a long time ago. So, I couldn't wait to get my bobble head. I brought my friend from work JOsh and promised him a Bobble. At first I had the fear that I was wrong with what night the give away was. There was no one giving the Bobbles at the door. Just a bunch of kids pounding away on drums. IF there is anything I hate more than kids, its kids playing really really loud drums. To make it more strange the people were trying to get us to sign up for credit cards using fake names for free t-shirts. Of course, I couldn't hear a damn word they were saying over the POUNDING of the drums.

Where the hell was my Bobble HEad?!?!?

Later, I found out that you get your BOOBLE at the end of the night. I have no idea what time they started giving them out. If you had to wait around and see if the Bruins would light the lamp 6 or 7 times and suffer to get your Bobble or not. Luckily, they didn't score that many, and of course I am die hard so I stayed to the end of the game. Which was good, because the third period was when the Flyers realized it wasn't a dream and they were indeed playing an NHL game. They must have been blinded by all the red they were seeing in the stands.

I guess its a good thing to have the Bobble at the end of the game for some reasons. I recall how annoying it was when my father and I went to Bobble COle Hammels night. Having to clutch them like a newborns all night long. Also, in order to make it easier for one person to take a leak or get a drink, one of us would be on "bobble duty" and guard Cole with our lives. I lived in fear all night that something would happen to my new friend.

However, what the Flyers didn't take into consideration was how it would effect people leaving the building. A Bobble Head Bottle neck was formed as people all stopped to get their mini Danny Brieres on the way out to the rainy Philadelphia night after our team sleep skated to a defeat. You couldn't move!

Josh and I took the advise of some dude and went to one of the other exits which required us to walk a quarter away around the WATCH OVER YOU CENTER. At this point we were not remotely near our car. So, we could fight the Bobble Head grabbers some more or we could walk around in the rain. I love the Flyers of course, but sometimes I think a monkey puts these promotions together.

I store Danny under my jacket to sheild him from the rain. HE will find a home with his new friends Bobble Fist Brasher (who is white for some reasons) and Generic Flyer Bobble guy from 2002. Generic Flyer guy suffered a broken neck once when my nephew was playing the slam the door into the computer desk over and over again for no reason game. He tobbled to the floor. Luckily, he can still Bobble with the best of them. Also, I am getting my nephew one of those annoying drums for Christmas, so no more Bobble Heads have to suffer.

Maybe the Flyers could have rolled back ticket prices this season to draw people in. YOu know knock a good 20 bucks off the tickets all around. I am wondering how much longer Derian Hatcher's checks bounce. But, I guess they will always have the die hards like me wandering around like a rat in a maze in order to get my Bobble head at the end. I clutched the Bobble Box close to my heart till we got in the warm car. A little wiser.

"Shot From Hartnell and Not Too Late

I have to admit it. I was starting to think that Scott Hartnell would be the next Kyle Caldar. Hartnell was picked up because he is a 20 goal scorer. He has looked anything,but although he hasnt looked awful he only has had two goals before Saturday night and they were both empty net goals.

The problem is usually harder to overcome when players go on a drought. The start 2nd guessing themselves and shooting to quick, or passing instead of taking the shot. Hartnell was trying to make up for his lack of goals in other ways. He was drew lots of penalties and has been good in the corners.

However, it would have been only a matter of time before the fans turned on him, and the coaching staff would have really gotten tired of him not producing. Saturday night he scored an awesome goal and helped Philly knock off the best team in the league. It was a hard ass shot from fairly far out. Just an awesome shot.

With Gagne likely to miss most of the season we need someone to step it up. Hartnell seems to me as a good fit and I am glad that he finally scored a goal in a big way. Maybe now he will start scoring every few games. Playing on a line with Danny Briere will help big time of course, but even DAnny couldn't have gotten him out of a funk if he went into December without scoring a legit goal.

The picture here is of Scott with his really really cute wife when they were down at Borgata to celebrate their one year anniversary. Scott it might have been rough going there for awhile, and we all laughed when your first goal was an open net goal. BUt, now that the monkey has been tossed of your back we need you scoring Buddy! You have an adorable wife, can go to AC whenever you have the time, run up the steps and pretend your rocky on your day off, life is good! Now score some more goals.

Oh yeah, and don't feel bad that TIm PAnacio kept calling you "Jeff" Hartnell today in his column you keep scoring goals like that and people will be wearing your last name on their jerseys and people hockey writers will memorize your first name.

"The Manshower"

So, my friend at work has various friends that are all expecting kids. So, she is always going to baby showers. I thought about it, and there isn't anything for dudes like that to look forward too in life. I mean women have bridal AND baby showers were people basically come to their place and give them free stuff.

Later, that day I figured I am screwed! I will never get such stuff. And Dudes will never get that, even when the get married or have kids.


What makes matters worse is the single dude is always left out in the cold. I mean Valentines Day is just a holiday that trembles all over our lifestyle. I really wish they would just call it "The February Holiday" so they do not offend us bachelors. I also, am going to try to fight seeing public displays for the holiday on feb14th.


We have to always sit at the "singles" table for formal events. Whats next separate schools?


Anyway my idea is very simple. It is to thrown for you by your dude friends (or bros) in honor of you being a stand up dude. In order to get this notice you must excell in a few or all of the following.

Beer Drinking
Knowlege of two sports
Awesome Video game playing skills
Love of the Transfomers
The ablitity to nudge your dude friend when a hot girl walks past
To be able to quote Major League or Caddyshack at will

My idea is for a Manshower. That does kind of sound sort of homoerotic so I am actually looking for a different name.


Anyway for now I will call it the Manshower. Basically every now and than the dudes get together and pick a dude to honor. They bring gifts and food.

Acceptable Food:

Pizza or hot dogs. But since Dudes are putting it together I doubt anyone will think to actually get plates.

Acceptable gifts:

Anything from the Hickory Farms collection
a Six pack (that the dude shall drink when the guests leave some other night)
Cigars
A copy of Maxim Magazine
2 Phillies tickets
A movie on DVD where a lot of stuff is blown up.
gift cards for Lowes (so they can like build stuff)

Events:

Gutiar Hero
Everyone talks about where they were when the Phillies lost the world series in 1993.

Everyone busts the balls of the dude being honored.

A Picture is brought out of the dude who has a girlfriend who didn't let him come over for the manshower, and a candle is lit followed by a moment of silence.

The Manshower, I am going to make it a new thing.....

"Turkey Joke"

Why cant you bring a turkey to church?


Because they use FOWL language.


Tell your friends....

"Ain't Got No Scrubs"

For 7 Seasons Scrubs has been getting a raw deal. One reason was that SCrubs is made by Touchstone who is owned by Disney who owns ABC. But... ..Scrubs is on NBC! This is one of the reasons why Scrubs is the only show not shown in HD. Touchstone doesn't want to pay for it, because they don't get any money off the first runs of the show. NBC, doesn't want to pay for it either, they dont get any money off the DVDS or reruns. SO, NBC has knocked poor Scrubs to different nights and time slots over it's 7 years. Once, it didn't run till Mid-season and most times it doesn't air till November or October. The other reason was so-so ratings at best. This season was going to be different though. You see series creator and writer was promised by NBC, that they could come back for a 7th and final season. It was down to the wire at the end of last year,and oddly enough ABC was going to be pick it up if NBC didn't. But since the show always got lousy ratings it was almost cancelled two or three other times. Despite the ratings the fans are very loyal. Like many of the shows I love, the fans are hardcore, but it never hit real mainstream and we had to live in fear of it getting axed all the time. Scrubs fans were fired up for season 7! Bill Lawerence and star Zack Braff had promised to return to the shows routes where it was more grounded. There was going to be a tad more drama like in the earlier seasons. The final 19 shows would also bring back various wacky characters we met over the years. Now like it or not, there is a writers strike, and Bill Lawerence has joined the striking writers. The network wanted him to rush together a last show the week before the deadline, but he refused. There are roughly 5 shows that have not been written yet. This was going to be when the story got wrapped up. Many people think the strike will go to June or July. At this point all the contracts of the actors will be up and Scrubs will never get a true final show. After, all these years. All these close calls the shows plug will still be pulled before we find out of JD gets that hug from Dr. Cox, The Janitors name, if JD will ever man up and not be a deadbeat dad, or if there is more than just "guy love" with JD and Turk. Lawerence, has promised to do his best to get the final shows made for the fans. He said he will go to ABC in hopes they will air them if NBC doesn't, or put them straight on DVD. That however, would require use of the hospital set (its actually and old hospital) and all the cast members signing on. That is likely not going to happen. It just sucks for Scrubs fans and although he writers will eventually win and get their way. The fans are likely to lose once again. Lawerence will live off his SCrubs and Spin City money and the fans will be screwed. Kicked in the balls by both the studio and the writers.

"The Habs and Hab Nots"

Since many of my readers are hockey fans, I figured many would find the FORBES ranking of the NHL team's fairly interesting. Looks like Toronto is still #1. As long as they don't cave in and start paying CAndian money instead of the weak American bucks, they will stay that way.
Those pesky Rangers are #2, and our own ORange and Black are #6.
Montreal is #3.

Here is the List

"232 Candles"

Price has gotten together with the owner's of Jerseys (Aka The Tank, Sharkys) for what should be a fun night for a good cause. Here is Price's message.



"This Saturday is the 232nd Marine Corps Birthday. Jersey's American Pub has been gracious enough to let us have a B-day bash starting at 8pm.There is NO COVER and we will be having raffles, a silent auction, 50/50's and great drink specials all night. Yellow Fin will also be playing between 9 and 1. WE WILL BE DONATING MONEY FROM THE EVENTS TO THE INJURED MARINE SEMPER FI FUND!!!! This charity assists wounded Marines and their families during their trying times. Please come out and support this good cause. For more info, check out Jersey's on my top friends. "

The raffles sound pretty awesome actually. Apperently one of the people that shows up at the bar regularly work for the Philadelphia Flyers and has donated some stuff to win!. The stuff is LIKELY to include, Jerseys, signed sticks, pucks, and Phantoms Tickets! Another prize will be a mountain bike, some sort of chair (it sounded cool when Price said it but I forget!) and some other stuff.

There will be drink specials and live music. DOnt know much about Yellow Finn, but I have heard they are pretty good.

IF that isnt enough Carl will be there.


So, come up and have a drink, or if you dont drink thank some marines for all they have done for our country.

Feel free to ask questions on here about the even.

"All the Pretty Little Green Things"

Not unlike that "meat" found in a ziplock bag in the back of my fridge recently. Tucker's World has gone green!


Here are a list some other cool green things.


1. The Hartford Whalers old jerseys.
2. Kermit
3. Monopoly Houses
4. The Apple Jolly Ranchers
5. Pickles
6. Slimer
7. The really tight sweater an insanely hot girl was wearing earlier today in line at Wawa.
8. The Field at Citzen's Bank

"Stratford Gets Wet"

My hometown of STratford finally came to their senses and voted to be able to serve booze. I really never understood why always shot this down and remained a dry town for so long. I mean right down the White Horse Pike you have tons of bars. So, you could littreally stand next to a bar in STratford.

Basically, they are just squandering a chance to lower taxes. I *THINK* they are going to have 3 liquor licences and they wont go to existing businesses. That chains, or a nice quiant resturant (Id prefer) can exist with a bar. There is plenty of room in a mostly empty shopping center! A great location right off the train!

Finally the good people have gotten off their horse and buggy, sent out the tellagraphs, and the people have spoken. Time to have a good 'ol time!

I highly doubt the town will turn into a bunch of drunks or anything. Just a great chance to woo new businesses

"Tucker's World Goes Green"

To follow in the footsteps of NBC, Tucker's World is going Green this week. I was touched when the studio put the lights out during the Eagles broadcast in order to prove that we need to conserve. I was even more excited to learn that movie star and former Vice President Al Gore will be on 30 rock this week! In fact all the Thursday Night comedy shows are going to be about Global Warming!


I figured I had to do something to jump on the band wagon so I didn't have to sit at the loser table at the next Bloggers convention. So, in order to brainstorm I took the day off of work and drove around and around. I came home finally after and was about to turn Tucker's World green! But, I did get sidetracked because I left the TV on when I wasn't home and they were running a movie that caught my interest on HBO. It took me awhile to change the format, because my computer locks up. That happens when I leave the computer on for a long time which I usually do. Now, it was time to start telling people how to live their lives.


Did I mention Al Gore will be on 30 rock this week?


Tips
#1 If you are watching the game over your friend's house, there is a good chance you are drinking beer. Make sure when you "break the seal" not to flush. Leave your piss till the end of the night. Just keep filling it up. One flush is better than countless after the seal is broken!

#2.Everyone wear green on Thursday!

#3. Carpooling is fine, but I think you need to step it up more than that. You should shower with your fellow car pooler. This will give you a chance to not only save water, but intimate time to discuss ways we can conserve. At the very least you can come up with the most fuel efficient way to go to work. Even if that means no left turns.

#4. If you live in an apartment complex. Drive around and try to figure out what neighbors leave their doors unlocked. If you find a door unlocked go into their place. Rummage through their personal belongings till you find their finical statements. Make sure that you mark them up to show them ways to save. Its important that when you do this, that you wear all black and put a hood over your head. We don't need people knowing who we are. This isn't about getting praise, its about saving the world for the children's children's children's so they can live in harmony with the spacemen that will land here in the not too distant future.

#5. Make a Dioramas. Maybe use the planet as the center piece. I think Styrofoam would work great to capture the planet earth.

#6. Get green lightbulbs and replace EVERYBULB with them. I mean, light posts outside, the ones indoors, nightlights. Than at 8:30pm on Thursday when Al Gore is on 30 rock. Everyone at once turn on your lights. All of them! Come together as one world for one cause. What an amazing site it will be everyone with their green lights on at the same time.

"Gone Jamie Gone, Gone Gone!"

My friend Jamie (known as Duke on this blog). Has moved to the sunshine state for work. Yes, the man who puts on sunblock to go to WaWa has moved to the hottest most sunny state in his free nation.

Duke and I go way back to when we were kids. Our parents were quite involved in our local church, and thats how we met. I can remember one time with Duke and I driving to a miniature golf outing (Our whacky pastor, Pastor Jack thought it would be cool to drive all the way out to Lancaster to play mini golf. He was right!) we were in the back of my parents station wagon and facing backwards in the Ford Tarus. The whole time we talked about transformers. I was doing my dead on Starscream voice (which was ruined when I hit puberty and just being total nerds while the other guys were talking to the one cute female in the car. Duke used to wear these glasses with this black band on the back to keep them from falling off his face. Kind of like the the basketball players used to wear.


Many years later, Duke got contacts, but pretty much we still talked about dorky stuff and didnt in favor or talking to people who don't have a penis. Now he has moved away, because he is a jerk.


Many, years of memories. Including being there for his "lowest point of his life" which happened when he had party that no one showed up to. He was really drunk and saying it was "The lowest point of his life" and we left him there.

He also worked for a shady painting selling company which provided many laughs and still does. He was the first person locally to have his own place and took over for the headquarters from "My parents basement". Jay and Jenna made a baby there, Duke got his balls cupped (and god know what else) and his apartment really brought many people together.

Many other memories include my times down the shore with Duke, drunken nights at his other apartment, Duke's hot but mildly crazy girlfriend from South Philly and playing and a NHL video game on my computer every Friday for a year.


Jamie was famous for his "Jamie 180" when he would be really passionate about something, and than months later take the polar opposite view on it. So, maybe he will say he DOESNT HATE new Jersey in a year and move back. BUt, honestly, I think we have seen the last of Duke as a South Jersey resident.

We will all miss Duke, and hope he doesn't get eaten by a gator. I want everyone to comment on their most memorable Duke moment. It is OKAY to cry when typing it. But, I am not going to say that it isn't very gay.

I have to hit the Publish Post comment,because I have something in my eye.....
