Cru Jones Society

Thanksgiving has come on gone, we hope you all enjoyed yours, but now Christmas is right around the corner and that means our local soft rock station is gearing up to over play their Christmas playlist, the cable network USA is going to put Elf on every night and of course TBS will have its 24 hour marathon of A Christmas Story. For this Monday Confessional we followed in this spirit of over indulgence as we asked: What is your most played CD and most watched movie? Let’s get to it so you can get back to watching your movie.

It’s Thursday afternoon as we post this, so you’re likely passed out, on the verge of passing out, or have whipped your television remote across the room out of frustration for Josh McDaniels’ idiotically simplistic play calling against the Giants (unless you’re CJS Regular Deuce). So we take you to Happy Hour with Round 8 of Food Sex or Cars! Continue Reading »

Happy Thanksgiving to you all! CJS would like to celebrate the day with Rounds 7 and 8 of Food Sex or Cars.

So, in this edition we’ve got video goodness featuring Zach Galifianakis, some hilariously bad singing, more about Shit My Dad Says, and sports sports sports! Gobble, gobble, bitches! It’s Friday!

It’s that time of year, everyone!

Each year we have a lot to be thankful for, and you can be thankful for the return of Food Sex or Cars! This year is bigger and better than last year! The fun begins Monday and carries all the way through Thanksgiving and on to Black Friday.

For those of you who didn’t play last year, here’s how it works: Continue Reading »

I have a pot luck at work and I thought instead of bringing the same old boring crap I got the last minute at the store I thought I would attempt to make something. Keeping with the not being boring idea I thought I would try something I have never made before.  So I thought I would document this hopeful awesomeness with a semi-live blog as I attempt to not burn down my kitchen.

I once had a girlfriend who over used the phrase, “That’s was random.” Usually whatever I was talking about wasn’t that random. Most of the time I stay pretty grounded with my verbal communications. My mind may wander and not be in synch with itself, but I usually keep those in my head. But every now and then I jot those down and we get the collection you find here before you. So if by some chance this ex-girlfriend actually reads the site she can go ahead use her favorite phrase and not sound like a complete idiot. The rest of you can just enjoy these thoughts.

1) It benefits charity.

The only required admission is one unwrapped toy to benefit the Denver Santa Claus Shop to help make the holiday dreams of underprivileged families come true. We may be critical of Christmas around here, but a lot of good comes out of this season, and this is just another way to spread good cheer and help those that need it. Besides…

2) You get feel good while getting to feel good.

The Rackhouse Pub has 20 beers on tap (predominantly featuring Colorado microbrews), a buttload of domestics available by the bottle, and proudly serves Stranahan’s Colorado Whiskey, from whom it rents its space. And the best part? All this stuff is available at happy hour prices all night. So even if you’re a miserable, heartless alcoholic, come to the Tweetup for kickin’ drink specials and do something good by accident. Ya’ bastard.

3) You keep your noodle active with trivia from the vaunted Redhead.

Let’s count down the top 3 things we love about The Redhead (so far): 3) Promised a gratuitous boob shot for reaching 1,000 followers on Twitter, and delivered magnificently; 2) Advocates for copious amounts of oral sex to ensure world peace; 1) Chick got a brain! She always keeps us on our toes and catches us off guard with her candor, wit, and high-level intellect. How is that not the recipe for a fabulous round of trivia?

4) You get to meet the Cru Jones Society.

We’re emerging from our writing cave to mingle amongst the masses for the first time, and we’d love for you to come down to hang out with us. We love booze, we love trivia, and we’re one of the co-sponsors of this event, so you’re meeting us at our least surly. Come say hello! And make sure to register for trivia for the opportunity to win some boss CJS gear.

5) The gauntlet has been thrown down.

By us. Right now. Our trivia team of Dagger, Hart, and CJS Regulars Keithage, Corriander, twodogszk, and Deuce can’t lose. If we don’t walk out of here champions, we’ll be very surprised. Think you’re better? Come down and prove it. And in the words of Crash Davis – Don’t bring us that weak ass junk, meat. Cuz we’re ready.

And we can’t wait to see you there. If you’re in the Denver area, come to the Tweetup (register here – you can only get in with a ticket) and benefit charity, throw a few back with your friends, meet the CJS, and test your mettle against us.

Can’t wait to see you all there!

Dagger & Hart

It’s often the small things that get you through the day, and sometimes those things don’t lend themselves well to full “Things We Love” entries. What follows below is a collection of small victories and pleasures that turn an otherwise crappy day okay, and an otherwise decent day good. Continue Reading »

Concerts are a staple here at the Cru Jones Society. We have spent many a night, and a few days, at concerts listen to music, drinking and growing friendships. And we’re willing to guess you have seen a band or two in your day. But like pizza delivery, televised sports, or two for one drink night, all good things have to start somewhere. With that we had one question for you: What was your first concert?

The responses this week run the musical genre gambit, from Alternative, country, and even some decade defining 80’s awesomness. We’ll start with the usual opening acts of Hart and Dagger and then what you have all come for, your responses. The stage is set so let’s get the house lights down and turn this mother out.

Whether you throw your shoulder into it, kick it in as if it were protected by Brinks, or straight up Hulk smash it, we don’t care just do whatever it takes to break those walls down. On the other side of the walls are some links about furless bears, the co-workers you hate, and some kick ass stop motion videos. Now get the walls down, come on it and let’s begin.

“Oh God, not this guy…”

That’s what you think when you see certain guys staring across the line at your favorite team. These are the guys you fear more than any other, and are the guys that can turn the game in the blink of an eye.

Over the last few weeks watching the Avalanche and Broncos, three athletes have stood out to me more than all the others. Patrick Kane of the Chicago Blackhawks seems poised to become the next Eric Lindros (hopefully for him, minus the concussions) with the way he overpowers defenders and seems to find every puck in traffic. Even though the Avs won that game, I was terrified every time Kane had the puck. Ed Reed of the Baltimore Ravens spent the evening two weeks ago separating Bronco receivers’ heads from their bodies and destroyed McDaniels’ candy ass game plan. Same goes for Troy Polamalu of the Steelers who is an absolute force of nature. Polamalu looks like he’s moving at Bo Jackson speed from Tecmo Bowl while everyone else moves like Jonah Hill.  

But since I’m older now, none of these guys scare me the way the most intimidating athletes from my youth did. Let’s take a look at the 5 Most Intimidating Athletes from E Dagger’s youth. Continue Reading »
