Happy Chuck Friday!

Cute!

Chuck is so very regal looking!

Look at all those books!

I FREAKIN LOVE CHUCK FRIDAYS! HE IS SUCH A STUD!

hahahahaha. that's all i have to say. so hilarious.

my dogs do that when they see a raccoon in a tree. i always hope it'll pee on their heads or something, just for my own amusement.

whoa, that toy that leta has? in the back? where you pull the little shapes along the different tracks?

i totally had one of those when i was little.

also: <3 chuck.

i do not think i have ever made here with less than 10 comments.

oh well.

at least it is CHUCK FRIDAY.

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT!

Oooo! 17th!

Eleni,

I saw heather's name (just a blurb unfournately) and that article during my regular read of the Post, though I am sad the reporter didn't interview the lady that started it all! :)

i like the thumbnail of the toy.

My dog gets the same face when she sees the mailman. I swear she gets more excited about him coming to the door than me coming home from work. Maybe I should start carrying treats in my purse.

MOuse! Yea!

Ruff...

(you know, this was fun before i was a "groupie." hope dooce doesn't get too big for us little folks who were here before the frenzy.)

It looks like somebody pooka-ed Chuck. Who did that?

Chuck is ready for his close-up now, Mr. DeMille...er...I mean, Ms. Armstrong.

BTW, I can't wait for "Dooce - The Cartoon" that probably should be coming to a prime-time-after-the-kiddies-have-gone-to-bed near you. Wouldn't that just kick ass and take names?

That's what the Project Runway designers forgot in the postal uniforms: a place for dog treats!!
So glad to see Chuck and know it's Friday!!

you realize that Leta is growing up with the CUTEST DOG IN THE WORLD, don't you?? you've ruined her for all other dogs! no other dog she's ever going to have is going to appear to young and smooth, no matter how old he gets...

Lauren--wouldn't life be incomplete eithout Dooce, Chuck and GEORGE!

I havent seen anything about GEORGE! on here for days. Or a comment by GEORGE! He must be real busy.

YAY Chuck Friday!

Gooooder: GEORGE! was here yesterday. He said he missed the twins real bad.

Not a dooce cartoon, but a show on the lines of Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman! Anyone remember that?

As a former casual carrier for the postal service I can tell you that I liked the dogs who liked mail carriers. One dog, well, a puppy really, tried to get in the truck a few times (it was a posh neighborhood and we'd pull into their driveways - the loooong driveways) after continually dropping a tennis ball at my feet indicating that he wanted to play catch. The dogs that didn't like me (I wasn't in uniform but had to carry the bag - the bag meant I was EVIL in some dogs eyes) REALLY didn't like me. I'm glad Chuck approves of the mail carrier.

He does totally look like a deer in that picture!!

what a handsome dog!

OMG our Ruffy girl has supersonic hearing too! Except our mailman is a complete asshole and torments her so she would love to get ahold of his nutsac I'm sure.
Great pic!

i'm too busy noticing the fireplace & bookshelves in the background. i. want. your. living. room!

I love when dogs are on ORANGE alert and ready, in any given moment, to move to RED ALERT! Treats, squirrels, burglars, fake-knocking-by-silly-dog-owners, you know, it could be anything. Dogs are VIGILANT!
Yay! Friday!

Chuck is such a handsome fella.

And I like your bookcases!

Eeg! More like velociraptor! Look at those eyes! a. psycho b. botox

How long was that piece of food left on his nose the other day?

Your fireplace makes me hot. Really.

ha, ha.

ChuckPooka!

I seeeeee you Minky!

I don't know who I get more excited about GEORGE! or CHUCK!

you guys, i don't think the mailman gives treats - i think the mailman IS the treat.

mmm ... for your birthday, I caught you a delicious mailman.

I totally forgot it was Friday until I saw Chuck! Alright!

Makes me miss my dog. I swear, he looks like my greyhound. Are you sure he isn't part greyhound?

I am saddened to hear of your demise. Yes, Heather, that was a poor choice of words on the part of that journalist. Someone should send the author of that article a thesaurus.

And yes, you do seem to be causing an international sensation. Everyone seems to know who Dooce is now!

I'm left wanting more.

TGICF

I'm glad to see the letter got there. I'm also sorry to hear about your untimely death. I actually swear my uni's newspaper doesn't have an editorial team, or at least they don't have a picky enough one.

That is too cute! He looks like he is going to run at any second.

Chcuk is one alert--but studly--mofo! My dog does the same exact thing whenever anyone breaths in the direction of our door. I'm oddly craving 'peanut butter balls', whatever they may be. This is the 2nd day in a row that they've been advertised on this here website, and it's all your fault if they start popping up in my dreams. :-)

Chuck is such a handsome man..Have you ever let him get him some poochie luvin?

enjoy the attention -- you are worth it. we all think you're fabulous!

Jerri Blank!
I'm rivoted... I can't believe I've NEVER heard of this... I just googled and I'm feeling like an uber-dork for missing out! Unfortunately this didn't make it to Canadian cable, at least not in my world.

Thanks mg2 for clueing me in, I'm on a mission to hunt down the DVD of season one.

Oh yeah, Chuck looks fab today too.

eventual demise.

bwahahahaa.

He looks like he might be just about to launch himself at the door.

I think Chuck may just be a stuffed life sized action figure of a dog with fully poseable limbs and a kung-fu grip. Anyone with me on this?

OH! I get it now. "It's terribly hot down here." I thought for a few minutes that it was, um, hot "down there" where the disease was, you know, itchy DOWN THERE, itchy and hot...

But you mean, it's hot down there in hell. Where your soul is rotting, amen. Got it. Whatta dork I am.

Demise means an untimely end, Lola, but the author of that article didn't use the term correctly. He should have said "the demise of her career". He said "her demise". He used demise to describe Heather, not the job. Total retard.

this photo can also be seen in the oxford english dictionary beside the definition of the word "taut."

Yeah Dooce, I guess it was your "demise" - out of the having-to-put-up-with-the-nasty-boss working world. Poor you.

Leta may scream more often than your old boss, but she is a much more deserving boss, don't you think?

lol

The british press is famously over-the-top melodramatic about everything.

Except, perhaps for The Economist.

Bug eyes…Dialated pupils… Yep, there’s definitely food involved.

What a handsome Chuck-a-luck.

Like Torie of the 8:15am post, I too am viewing your page on my laptop without messing with Norton. Es milagro!

I will, however, miss messing around with Norton, that sexy thing.

Heather, now that you're dead, I plan to channel your spirit via Ouija Board at our next Purse Party. We'll present your ghost with the fake Marc Jacobs 'Stella' bag.

I was thinking the same thing as shellibells (waaay up there somewhere): Your mailman gives TREATS?? My mailman folds things in half that say "DO NOT BEND" and tosses my packages up the stairs at me. Which, unfortunately, is an improvement on my last mail carrier, who once decided I had moved (not sure why, she just decided) and returned all my mail to senders. So really: Lucky, lucky you. And LUCKY CHUCK!! RUFF!

Oh how I love Chuck Fridays! WOOF!!

TUCGICF - Thank Upper Case God It's Chuck Friday.

CLOSET METRO, THIS IS GOD.

YOU ARE WELCOME.

THAT IS ALL.

Metro did you not see my NMIFIO reply? Helloooooo

Wow, Uppercase GOD, speaking directly to me. I feel so, well, hungry, actually, since I haven't eaten anything yet today. But also renewed in my faith and all of that crap too. Thanks Uppercase GOD.

GOD's been updating his customer service department to give better, individualized customer service during this lenten season.

No one really liked the celestial voice mail, anyway

At first when I read the google ad for Mormon such and such...I read "An open forum for Mormons seeking LSD"
I giggled and reread the sentence, and it wasn't nearly as funny. :(

The mailman gives him treats EVERY DAY? I can't help but wonder if he didn't have a horrible dog experience at some point, so he bribes them all to behave or something.

My parents' dog doesn't react to the mailman. However, he does get all excited at the bank (which always gives dog treats) and the drive-thru Starbucks (who does give dog treats, although not every time). I'm sure that he thinks that this is actually the point of such windows, to spoil him repeatedly, as many times as a human is willing to drive him around.

I never realized Chuck's neck was so loooong. Chuck's cousin: http://tinyurl.com/6rztt

Heh. Chuck has the same look that my dogs had last night when a bit of birthday cake hit the kitchen floor. They aren't allowed in the kitchen so they just sat there staring at it until the cat waltzed in and ate it.

Listen Metro, YMBPGATBTIEWIS MMkay

Yes Fish you got that right. My poor poor husband. *smirk*

The sad thing is by the time I look back at my "word" I forgot what the hell it even says.

Sheesh, this place is hopping these days. I guess that's what happens when you're a good writer with an astute sense of humor...

Anyway, I thought you may want to see another article regarding your site...

http://thriveweekly.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20050118/THRIVE0501/5...

I pointed the writer in your direction and he really likes your site now. It paid off for me because he also mentioned my blog in there (traffic has increased .002%). The beauty of the article? It's NOT ABOUT YOU LOSING YOUR JOB _and_ it mentions you being a SAHM. Not bad.

By the way, although I coded the backend of that site, I take ZERO responsibility for its design.

You see, there in lies the bitch about google ads. You bring up "Jesus", "Mormon", or fucking the "Mother Marry" and BAM! A big fucking advertisement for LDSPLANET.COM is on your site.

I bet LDSPlanet is way less fun than Blackplanet

Dooce, I think you should a version of "Cribs" on your place - everyone wants to know what your house looks like.

In our year 3 Dooce A.D. ...

It's geh'in hah' in heeyah
So take awf all yo cloze.

You're *always* nekked, Minkey.

But I am sober, and fat, so I won't

My house has the same kind of set-up with a fireplace flanked by built-in bookcases, with little sqare windows above them, and twin sconce lights above the fireplace. I bet our houses were built around the same time period. Mid 1920s? Your pre-renovation kitchen had a similar cut to its jib as the kitchen in my house, too.

Not when Manda makes me wear that sling on my minkey bits, i'm not.

Baaaad Minkey.

He's a puppy who looks like he needs a cookie. It's the stare.

Oh, yes, Gooooder. I laughed my tush off.

I always look forward to Chuck Friday! Happy Chuck Friday! TGICF!

Dooce, you must be really talented, writing after death and all.

Happy Chuck Friday!!

Is it wrong to be ignoring Chuck and admiring the fireplace and woodwork? Because it is soo awesome!

I've seen the fireplace before, but you're right cursingmama, that wall bookshelf is incredible. If I didn't have a bunch of bachelors living with me, I'd redecorate my place (and build a nice bookshelf like that).

#174--does anyone else think its funny that under the pic of the "sling" it says "click to enlarge"? hehe

Jesus, he looks possessed! Of course, I am too when I think of chocolate...hmm...

maybe chuck's hammock broke

im in the zone. the dooce zone.

only 58 more minutes.

So a while back i turned my sister onto Dooce. I was turned on by Alt Text many moons ago. N E Way, she was inspired to start her own blog and I must say that while I am certainly biased, her blogs are really very funny.
