Charlie is drinking a glass of Primitivo and watching the market implode on CNBC. Did you know that the Primitivo grape is dark red with bold and fruity flavors? Did you know that it is considered the father of the Zinfandel grape, which is now so popular in California? Did you know that because the market is at its lowest point since 1997, we have entered a time warp and are beginning to age backwards? Did you know that at a Blood Alcohol Level of 0.30 you can lose control of your bladder and even die? STOP DRINKING CHARLIE! DON’T END IT THIS WAY!!!!!

November 20, 2008Chicken And Chips
November 20, 2008Last night at about midnight, Chuckles ate a half-eaten roast chicken from Choice Market in Clinton Hill and some Cape Cod salted potato chips. Scavenging: not just for hobos anymore!
“Fresh” Tuna, For Cheap
November 19, 2008Charlie’s now onto his second dinner: 3/4 pounds of cold tuna salad, with dill and green peppers. He got that cold mess from the same Korean deli in Union Square he always goes to — it’s $2.99 a pound after 7 p.m. Charlie needs to save money now that he heard that the state of New York owes canine Donald Trump $4 trillion. Thrifty is nifty!
Labradonald Trump says: “Give me my money, Rosie! Or I’ll bite your nuts off!”
Leftovers With Keith Olbermann
November 19, 2008What a day! Charlie’s exhausted from studying all afternoon. He’s watching Keith Olbermann and eating the rest of his Subway sandwich. He’s also eating a vegetable medley with cauliflower, broccoli, sliced red onions and feta cheese, dressed with the marinade that they keep the mushrooms in. He just swiped a fry from a friend!
Jesus Chicken
November 19, 2008Living on a student budget is tough. So in addition to eating his friends’ food, Charlie likes to eat cheap at Subway, where footlong subs are $5. Charlie is eating one right now with extruded chicken parts formed into a patty, green peppers, extra onions, olives, pickles, salt and pepper on an Italian herbs and cheese roll. Fun facts: he didn’t order cheese or mayo because he’s trying to cut calories; the “chicken” wasn’t totally warmed up; he got a student discount.
Remember when Subway stores had old timey maps of the New York subway on their walls? Jesus chicken does.
Charlie Can Haz Man Wiener
November 19, 2008Cogito Ergo Noodle!
November 19, 2008Charlie drove his friends to the airport this morning. As a reward for his good deed, he took a trip to his favorite noodle cart in chinatown to buy rice noodles with peanut and soy sauce. He’s eating in the car because it’s too cold outside. BRRRR! There are shredded carrots and onions in it. Delicious and one of his favorites.
Down The Hatch For Xbox360
November 19, 2008Late nights for Charlie include studying and playing xbox360 (natch). To concentrate on blowing up the bad guys, he drank two 12 ounce Coors light (thin!). To top off his wins he then had a glass of whiskey on the rocks (two ice cubes).
Later at 130AM, he “found” some leftover jasmine rice in the fridge, and sauteed it in garlic, butter, olive oil and salt for a satisfying treat. He thought about drinking a diet coke but chose not to because he didn’t want to interrupt his beauty sleep.

Digital Toxicity
The Virtue Of Virtual Food
November 18, 2008Today’s news that customers can order Domino’s pizza through their Tivos has Charlie dreaming about the wonderful possibilities of food on demand. Just thinking of the 9-course tasting menu from Thomas Keller that he can order without getting up from the couch has Charlie salivating.
Now Charlie can get even fatter and lazier without leaving the comfort of his home.
Spicy Coffee Makes Charlie Sad
November 18, 2008Charlie is at Verb Cafe in Williamsburg having a cup of coffee that tastes spicy for some reason. He’s nibbling on a cinnamon raisin bagel with no butter or cream cheese. Ick. Charlie scored a 5 on his arithmetic AP test in high school so he knows that red pepper plus coffee turns him into a fiery baby pokemon!
Snap, Crackle, Poop
November 18, 2008these are hard times on the economy but that won’t stop charlie tu from getting his sweet fix. he spent 3 US dollars (~20 Yuan!) on a rice krispie treat in the west village. it’s delicious but way too buttery for his delicate AZN palate.
Charlie tu as a kid performing his first smash hit, ‘ain’t no krispie treat sweet enuff!’
Malibu Starburst
November 18, 2008charlie tu needs a sweet treat to counter the grease from his USA burger so he’s having a malibu flavored starburst: he likes the chemical citrus taste of them. it’s sort of creepy. are you scared for him?

in each one of charlie tu's teeth lives a fairy waiting to be saved
I Love This Country!
November 18, 2008charlie tu is eating a burger with aged cheddar, cooked medium, with a sesame bun from Market Table in the West Village. It has extra raw red onions and sliced pickles. He’s eating fries dipped in mayo, and washing it all down with a large hot coffee. Very all American, very patriotic!

Tip of the Day: Sticking an American flag into your food before you eat is a creative way to say, "USA A-Okay!"
Getting Skinny With Science
November 18, 2008Charlie Tu is refreshing his antioxidant levels and boosting the fat-burning capacity of all five of his major organs with a hot cup of trader joe’s green tea. Oprah says that even her most obese viewers can lose 10 pounds in six weeks if they drink green tea instead of chocolate milkshakes. White men who adopt Asian babies can be healthy and culturally “with it” by toting their kids around in a green tea snuggly from J. Crew.

Made of pressed tea leaves and dyed with the sins of imperialism.
Coma
November 17, 2008Charlie Eats Half A Baby For Dinner
November 17, 2008Charlie Tu began his evening meal with an amuse bouche of bermuda onion slices and a couple of lukewarm square-cut french fries. Wakey wakey mouth! Next, he ate steamed cauliflower, broccoli, snow peas, onions under a blanket of opaque green curry from his favorite Union Square deli, the Big Bagel Store. On the side he had a dollop of Helmann’s mayonnaise, to cut the tangy flavor of the curry. For dessert, Charlie had 1.25 pounds of cold chicken salad, with green and red peppers and some marinated mushrooms.
Two and a half pounds of food and Charlie is still up and kicking. What a champ!
Of course it’s baby lettuce! Did you even have to ask?!
Mustard Olive Oil And Apple Cider Vinegar Salad
November 17, 2008WARNING BASTA ACHTUNG!!!!!
November 17, 2008Charlie tu was using a toothpick treated with tea tree oil to clean his teeth, then touched his eye with THE SAME HAND that was holding the toothpick, and he WENT BLIND for almost a second.
A warning to other fastidious eaters with hippie tendencies: DO NOT TOUCH YOUR TEA TREE OIL HAND TO YOUR GENERAL EYEBALL AREA OR YOU WILL GO BLIND AND OR NEVER SEE AGAIN.
Mr. Willingham from payroll touched his hippie hand to his left eye and he is now fully blind in that eye at night.
Jerking The Chicken
November 17, 2008Charlie tu is eating curry goat and vegetables with jerk chicken from The Islands, a Caribbean restaurant in brooklyn. Its spicy climax is making him sweat!
Jerking the goat never felt so good.
