(Here is our companion post for MDAMB, the way it should have looked. It’s here for your enjoyment.)

College was awesome. Given our current workaday grind, we all miss it from time to time. If college was not the best time ever for you, then clearly you’re either some impossibly rich asshole now, or you rowed crew and pointlessly woke up at 4:30 every morning to play a sport no one likes or cares about.

Despite generally being the best time of our lives, it’s possible we’re looking back at things through rose-colored glasses. You seem never to read a single line about the things from college that sucked. And despite your likely failure of being able to call even a single one of those things to mind at the moment, that’s why we’re here. Here are five things the Cru Jones Society DOESN’T miss about college. Continue Reading »

So let’s make Mr. Gustav welcome. Give him lots of love and lots of comments. Take it away, new friend!)

Just one year removed, I miss college. It was a time in my life without real responsibility and made for some great memories. I lived close to or with all my friends, it was easy to meet girls, and I could drink myself stupid on a Monday afternoon completely guilt free (and without being tagged as an alcoholic).

Here are the top 5 things we don’t miss about college life. Continue Reading »

It’s a way for us to identify other club members. Wait, which blog is this? CJS? Oh, well then, welcome to Happy Friday. It has been a long stupid week. If we can just get through this day then we can go home to our wives or girlfriends and start the weekend proper like. To help get to that point we offer a bounty of distractions, like punk rock and MC Hammer and of course the best time waster of the 80s, the Rubik’s Cube. So let’s drop that needle and play the song again. Continue Reading »

The buttfucking San Francisco Giants are now World Champs, which means that sadly another season of baseball has come to a close. I hate the Giants with the power of 1,000 suns. They were the first team I ever hated because they destroyed the first team I ever really loved – the 1989 Cubs. To this day I hope Will Clark dies in a fire. And they play in the same division as the Rockies. And Bruce Bochy has one of the biggest, freakiest melons on planet earth. So yeah, uhhh, congrats to San Francisco, I guess.

Anyway, as we’ve done before,  let’s take a look back at our season predictions and see how we did. Thankfully, we’re not riding alone here as we have all of you to drag down with us.  Let’s get started. Continue Reading »
