The Meeting Of The Minds (Revisited)

As previously announced, last weekend the 4 captains met up in NYC for our first official summit. Plans were discussed, minds were bent and many beers were consumed. There was even a cameo by Chapelle show alumni, Ashy Larry.

Larry The Meeting Of The Minds (Revisited)

It’s safe to say that Central Park will never be the same again…for NY and for the Captains.

We wanted to tell you we’ve got some exciting things planned for the site for you in the near future. So keep your eyes peeled. Oh, and all you writers out there start doing some calisthenics and get those fingers limber. We’re gonna make a big announcement on TCM’s one year anniversary in February.

Keep On Chooglin’ Bitches!

Pussiest Fight Ever

No, I’m not referring to that time Captain Yar was beat up by a girl in the 3rd grade, I’m referring to this:

Meeting of the Minds 101009 002 Pussiest Fight Ever

This is a cat on a leash fighting a small dog on a leash. The fight got so intense, the owners had to intervene (who were also both on leashes). The fight went down in Central Park during Meeting of the Minds. We were dissed for post-fight interviews by both contestants. Maybe it was Captain Flintheart’s body odor that drove them away. We will never know.

But what we all do know is that cats shouldn’t be on leashes. I was blown away by this entire spectacle.

Does anyone rock a leash for their cat? If so, why? I’m really intrigued on this one.

Meeting of the Minds

Maybe you don’t understand it.
But if you’re a natural man,
You got to ball and have a good time
And that’s what I call chooglin’.

Here comes Mary lookin’ for Harry,
She gonna choogle tonight.
Here comes Louie, works in the sewer,
He gonna choogle tonight.

John Fogerty was on to something, and so are the Captain’s.

The Meeting of the Minds will be taking place this weekend in NYC. What does this entail might you ask? Lord knows. There will probably be a lot of chooglin’ and gallivanting combined with with plenty of random drunkenness.

This is really a weekend to get the stakeholders (Captain’s) together to determine how we can make this site even more badass. Some ideas we’ve been floating are adding more Captains to the mix, bringing on more merch and an on-line store, and souping up the web site.

Want to know more? We’ll share plans tomorrow as soon as our lazy asses develop some.

Let’s Go Hiking!

I went hiking this past weekend. I don’t know why, but I started this a few years ago and it’s addicting. I typically climb high peaks and marvel at the awesome landscape and what not. Yeah, it sounds rather corny, but try it yourself. You might like it.

So after getting up at the crack ass of dawn, picking up Captain Flintheart, Steveo, and Fez, we headed for the hills. The first hour or so was uneventful. You know the drill: walking up a fucking steep hill, sweating your ass off, and hating life. Then it happened. We met some people.

The first group was from St. Lawrence University. Two guys were hiking together and we mistook them for lovers because they both sported high socks until we found out they were with four women who were wearing spandex (one of four was good looking). These folks informed it was “peak week” and that we will probably see more people from their college on the trails. Fine. OK. Whatever.

We continued our trek until we came to this giant wall that is straight out of the Old Testament:

It took a bit to figure out how to tackle this, but after watching several Canadians attempt it and fail, we eventually we figured it out and on we went. The Canadians by the way spoke English and French intermittently which was intense.

Twenty minutes later we reached the top of this mountain and it was crowded with hikers who we talked with along the way and other people who actually drove up the mountain! Who does that! Well, the only good thing about these people that drove up was that they looked crazy as shit.

Exhibit A – Random Indian Family Giving me the Death Stare:

Exhibit B – Random Guy with Man Fro Pony Tail and Matching Jorts

As I took all of this in (the crazy people, not the mountainous landscapes), I started questioning which was better: all the random people I came across or the actual views from the top? I can’t decide anymore. Good scenery is always nice, but it’s not everyday I have the chance to see crazy people.

Well, here’s a pic of Lake Placid. You decide which is better.

It was still a pretty phenomenal day regardless. The walk down was smooth and uneventful, food at A&W’s was amazing, and the Nightmare River Band rocked the Lark Tavern at night. That’s a quality fall Saturday.

Side note: The gentleman with the hat on in both pics above is Captain Flintheart (we needed a diversion to grab these photos without looking too crazy). The Captain’s will more than likely begin popping up into posts here and there. Look for this and many more new random things to come as the Meeting of the Minds nears!

Laws of the Crown

BKCrown Full Laws of the Crown

You’ve probably done this many times, especially when you were 5. You went to Burger King (probably one of the greatest fast food restaurants in the world next to Taco Bell), ordered some food (or had it ordered for you), turned around to notice a crown, and promptly began to rock the shit out of it. This has been the story of my life ever since I had original thought probably around the age of 3.

Last week while on an epic road trip, I stopped into a Burger King and repeated this familiar sequence of events, but I noticed something. The geniuses at Burger King wrote something inside the crown! They have provided all of us with the Laws of the Crown. Here’s what they came up with:

Game Play
A) Adjust size and be the first to place on head.
B) Whoever places the Crown on his or her head first, then in a loud voice proclaims “I am the King” is from that moment forward, in charge. Rule ends if Crown is removed (see Coup d’etat). Crownings can happen anywhere, at anytime.

Advanced Play
1. There can only be one King.
2. The King always gets his/her way.
3. The King must speak with some kind of cool accent.
4. The King makes all the important decisions governing selection of TV channels, movies, radio stations, as well as popular activities like snow-boarding, pool hopping and cow tipping. The King also determines who gets the remote, who rides “shotgun” and, of course, who pays.
5. Rule ends when Crown is removed for more than 3 seconds (see Three Second Law).
6. Disagreement with the King results in a “penalty.” This is decided by the King. Common penalties include: forfeiture of fries, surrender of video game controller and banishment from the office cubicle.

Three Second Law
The King’s rule ends when the Crown is removed from their head for any reason, accidental or otherwise. The first person to exclaim, “One…Two…Three…King” may claim the Crown.

In The Event Of A Tie
If two people Crown themselves King simultaneously, the person who birth date is closest to Dec. 4, 1954 (date the first Burger King opened) is 5ng.

Coup D’Etat
If everyone agrees you completely stink as King, your rule may be renounced. This constitutes a Coup d’etat. A new King may be Crowned if the group can reach a unanimous decision. If not, the Three Second Law applies.

Kingdom
If you are eating in Burger King, your rule extends all the way to the edge of the parking lot. Off restaurant grounds, your rule extends to a radius of 10 feet around you in any direction.

Wow. First off, I really can’t believe I wrote all of that down. Second, I can’t believe some idiot came up with all of this. Yeah, I’m a fan of Burger King and will continue to rock a crown when I go there, but I don’t need some douchebag to tell me how to act when wearing it.

I admit, there are some cool powers Burger King came up with for it like controlling the TV and what not, but what the hell is the Three Second Law all about? Any goon could slap this thing off your head at any time and yep, you’re fucked.

Imagine if the laws of the crown were valid in real life? Could you work for your boss if they rocked a crown everyday at work? I know I’d be plotting each day on ways to dethrone them. It’d be amazing. I could hide behind a door and form tackle them into their desk. Once I threw the crown on, they’d be my bitch according to the powers of the crown.

Imagine rocking the crown to a football game and reserving the right to kick people out of their seats at the 50-yard line. I’m so down. Or imagine using the powers of the crown to designate a beer bitch.

Wow. I just reconvinced myself that the laws of the crown are pretty bad ass indeed. The best part is I bet there is a way to make Burger King liable for anything you do with it on, right? We’ll find out at The Meeting Of The Minds in NYC during Columbus Day weekend. More to come on that event…
