How do I get on?
10/2/2001

The question on students' minds is "How do I get on Chuck's Corner?" Sometimes it comes out "Why does Eddie get his picture in all the time?" Usually the question is asked not with words, but with desperate antics. They suddenly embrace whoever's nearby and smile gratuitously (right). That's not an effective strategy; I take the pic, step away, and delete it without a second thought. I'm now willing to reveal the secret. Try doing something really inane, like Cedric (below) who wasted long hours compulsively tattooing his left hand.

This worked: form a rock band called the Teenage Dirtbags, and then sing a song called "I'm Just a Teenage Dirtbag."

Reckless adolescent behavior is always in high demand:

These attempts are a waste of everyone's time.
Dining al fresco gives you a pretty good shot at eternal fame.
Swayze in assembly explaining how she flushed the keys and cell phone to van 6 down the toilet at a Macdonald's on the way back from a field hockey game in Maine.
New body piercing is a sacrifice worth documenting, don't you think? (Don't worry, Mike & Alexandra, that just looks like Juliet....)
Eddie knows.... Just ride around on some rediculous vehicle.
