One of my friends actually said one time " Some day they'll make a Richter Scale to measure how big of a douche someone is, but they'll call it the Charlie Scale instead"

Well, we're playing whiffle ball, having a grand 'ole time, when Chris noticed a freshly used condom in his yard. Jeff and I quickly concluded that it was probably some young couple who stopped by a dead-end neighborhood to get it on under the romantic moonlight had thrown away the utility after the session was over. Chris, however, was fascinated and thought it was a balloon. Jeff agreed with his logic to see where it would go. Chris asked what the yellowish stuff was in there (it turns yellow once it gets old/stale... whatever). Jeff said it was probably from the rain and it was nothing.

In a classic moment, Chris said, "This balloon is thick, I bet it will be huge!"

In one move, he tilted the condom up over his head and started blowing. There wasn't a big baloon that day, just some small boy who swallowed something else.



And if you guys are wondering, yes, everyone had a sit down with our parents. Lock it down to being young and stupid.


oh jesus :shocked:

I remember i made the mistake of showing him the juggernaut video....oh ****** ****** that was a mistake. For the next 3 hours we hung out he just kept saying 'IM THE JUGGERNAUT BITCH' and then laughing to himself like HE had made up the jokes in the video.

I'm concluding from these stories that evaluations have shown chuck to be mildly retarded correct?

socially, yes. Here's another one:


We're hanging out one time, me, him, and his girlfriend. his girlfriend was talking about something going on in a 3rd world country. He decides that he's going to try and appear callous. He says that economically it's not feasible to help out people in other countries. (He was an account major). He says that 'I'm sorry....I just...I just can't look at it....from a perspective of people...I only see it as money and economics...it's how..it's how my brain works'. At this point I'd like to add that he got about a 1.9 or 2.1 GPA at a state college where I pulled about a 3.8. He passed calc 1 with a C-.

We could get him to do anything, as long as one of us was doing it he thought he was acting "cool."

So one day after lunch I turn to a friend and said "start doing the chicken dance and see if Nick starts doing it too." My buddy gives me this WTF look and just starts doing it, some people get laughing at him. Nick thinks he'll get some good attention and righ on que jumps in and starts doing the chicken dance also.

From that day on anytime he would agree with us, do whatever we were doing or just be annoying us in general we refered to it as "chicken dancing."

Not that I need to point it out, but that kid was a major douche.

Imitating others for no good reason is dumb, but taking advantage of dumb people for no good reason is cruel. Dumb > cruel.

Well, I have a pal that had a history of making himself look foolish in front of the ladies, generally in social situations (parties). Alcohol would always be involved, and examples include hounding one young woman all night and loudly proclaiming how sexy her vagina was (at a packed party no less), thus inciting her BF to pound him a few times; passing-out and pissing himself on a few occasions; and going so far (or so short, really) as to wake up in the middle of the night, stand on bed and drop trow, then proceed to piss on his bedroom carpet (the bathroom being too far away....~4 feet). This last incident greatly offended his GF at the time, who happened to be sharing his bed at the moment.

That's all I have tyo say about that, but he has gotten much better :)

Although, I have another friend whose incidents of infamous foolishness (moreso than mine ;)) are unparalleled. He even wrote about one particularly notorious incident for his University paper, which quickly became one of the most popular articles written for that University's paper. Friend, School, and incident shall remain undescribed...being that several on here attend, or have attended that very same University....

HA! I think we all have had a "Charlie". Andy was a friend in high school and he repeated that line for 4 months...

Andy was a nice kid, but he was the worst. He was socially awkward. He was okay just hanging out, but I could not be with him in public areas, it was that bad. He used to only talk about video games. He would complain about not having money but every other day he would have another new game. He tries to act smarter than he really is. My friends and I in a chemistry class we talking about batteries and he tried to explain how a battery worked, but he was completely wrong and just sounded more stupid. He has hit on a few of my friend's girlfriends. On numerous occasions, when we were just randomly walking, he has asked a few of my girlfriend (who were with us) for a hug. They all thought he was weird and I don't blame them. He wasn't kidding. He really wanted a hug. He's loud and obnoxious but he can be a nice guy.

But one story sticks out in my mind. My friends and I went out drinking over one of our houses. We were 17 at the time and Andy joined us. We all started drinking and after a half and hour, we were all pretty wasted but Andy was sober. We asked him why and he gave us a speech about how he "believes in experiencing life as it should be" and refuses to drink. I was the one who invited him and he gives my other friends bullsh!t about drinking. I later found out it was b/c he takes meds and b/c he can't hold his alcohol anyways. He puked after two drinks i guess. So the whole night he was quoting "I'm the JUGGERNAUT, B!TCH" and just sitting there, not drinking. The funniest thing of that night is he acted drunk to fit in. At least we had a designated driver.

OK, here's ONE more....this one was so douchey I was saving it for last.

There was a movie out a few years ago, called Pay Check, about that guy who's a reverse engineer, and he loses like a year of his life or something because they erase his memory. Starred Ben Affleck. Anyway, about a year later, Charlie gets a new computer monitor because his old one dies. He then decides to take his old monitor apart. I ask him wtf he's doing that for and he says "Kid, come on, I'm awesome at reverse engineering. I love doing it. I may just do it for a career." I have no idea what the ****** he was talking about, seeing as how he's not mechanically inclined. If I asked him to hand me a socket wrench I'd probably end up getting a pair of needle nosed pliers from him.

That same day he was still babbling about reverse engineering when he dropped this gem, "You know...you're hardware...but me, I'm software. Like you're good with the hardware of a computer, but I'm good with software. Give me a program and within a couple of days I'll figure out what it does and be able to tell you all about it". In case any of you had any doubt he can barely navigate microsoft word, tries registering pirated software with the company OVER THE PHONE, and doesn't know what most of the buttons at the top of an internet browser do.

If I didn't know otherwise, I'd think they were the same people. He's awful. I'm glad he lives 3500 miles away now.

And, in response to the last story, Andy fancies himself as a computer engineer and programmer but he just f's up all the computers he tries to "streamline". He just sucks. And he brags that he OCed his Prescott 478 by 0.1 GHz.

Charlie would always try 'upgrading' his computer by downloading bonzi buddy or something, then bitch to me when the thing would seize up.
