Big Chuck
Raves for Big Chuck
Out of focus, out of touch
Much ado 'bout nothing much.
--Connie Flange, masseuse nonpareil
Lights up your life like a cold salami.
--Gary Dildero
Author of Shoes for House Pets and
What She Needs Is a Good Rhinoceros
Low-brow, degenerate pap.
--Daniel Fresnik, agent provocateur
Big Chuck's blog is a window into his soul, only the glass is really dirty.
--Edwina "Mom" Schmutz
President, Windex Corp.
Chuck’s groundbreaking achievement is the integration of deep philosophical ignorance with an astonishing lack of photographic skill.
--Edward T. Rucker, PhD.
Big Chuck is big, but he's no Mencken.
--Howie Berg
New Journal for Outsourced Public Education
What’s all the fuss?
--Robert Wince, Weltschmerz
Chuck puts the blog back in blogging. A photo-literary tour de France, rich in pretension.
--Mike Harris, Digitalis News
Consistently inconsistent. Big Chuck’s commentaries run the gamut from silly to embarrassing.
--Juan Enrico Diego de Felix-Cordoba y Menendez-Strassner-Schley.

a very nice poem tho i cannot entirely agree with the old sage. i believe our children are very much our children until the day they die. no one will care about them or love them as much as we do. it behooves us to help them become independent beings with good self-esteem capable of striking out on their own and thinking for themselves. but it also, and i am, admittedly, new to this parenting game, seems vital that we make certain our children know we will help them up when they fall and that we will be there when life offers a snag or a pinch. which, as we know, it often does.
