You get that extra day of relaxing after a hard weeks work. How you spend this extra day is up to the casual individual. You can choose your own adventure will it be a extra friday of half work half play? A saturday as full on play , or sunday a more modest relaxation day. <br /><br />No matter how you choose to spend your adventure it is a treat.<br /><br />Over the course of the year (in the US) you get at the very least 10 opportunities to make a 3 day weekend happen. Depending on how casual your office is you might get more chances i.e flag day, columbus day,st patty's day ect...<br /><br />Friday, January 1 New Year’s Day<br />Monday, January 18 Birthday of Martin Luther King, Jr.<br />Monday, February 15* Washington’s Birthday<br />Monday, May 31 Memorial Day<br />Monday, July 5** Independence Day<br />Monday, September 6 Labor Day<br />Monday, October 11 Columbus Day<br />Thursday, November 11 Veterans Day<br />Thursday, November 25 Thanksgiving Day<br />Friday, December 24*** Christmas Day<br /><br /><br />Dont make the mistake of showing up to work on these days.Snowbearhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16035905050228621173noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6301877200502206939.post-893440226731745902009-12-21T18:39:00.000-08:002009-12-21T18:53:24.042-08:00Casual Creature: Casual Coconut Carrying Octopus<span style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande'; font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: 11px;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10px; white-space: pre;"><object height="344" width="425"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/1DoWdHOtlrk&hl=en_US&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/1DoWdHOtlrk&hl=en_US&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object></span></span></span><br />

Going with the flow and couch surfing through your weekend hoping to catch the epic wave of good times seemed to be the right thing to do. But as a great casual man once said, "Times, they are a changing".<br /><br />It has recently come to my attention that planning in many aspects of life greatly increases your casual libido. Especially when those plans involve oceans, lakes, rivers, streams, <a href="http://westcoastcasual.blogspot.com/2009/09/how-i-spent-my-labor-day-weekend.html">boats</a>, <a href="http://westcoastcasual.blogspot.com/2009/09/casual-floating.html">floats</a>, <a href="http://westcoastcasual.blogspot.com/2009/12/casual-snacking-ice-cream-sandwiches.html">ice cream</a> cones, <a href="http://westcoastcasual.blogspot.com/2009/10/casual-prose-o-thee-casual-turtle.html">turtle</a> rides, sack lunches, intermediate <a href="http://westcoastcasual.blogspot.com/2009/10/casual-snacking-cookies-and-milk.html">snacking</a>, and good friends. Live and love and plan on it. There's not much else to it.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirIW9QMMmVgIrfDzuuGZfWjf-2mG0cSOY8Wssx4Js65a9G8lI4adITjdhZldHdfqjh6lkmKIIVoAIrSctYi4ynpbC3zxFDhlqvoiKZ39HonNsRK1U5RRI5rlgLEpb955OOZZgzq58A0hOj/s1600-h/plans+list.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 212px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirIW9QMMmVgIrfDzuuGZfWjf-2mG0cSOY8Wssx4Js65a9G8lI4adITjdhZldHdfqjh6lkmKIIVoAIrSctYi4ynpbC3zxFDhlqvoiKZ39HonNsRK1U5RRI5rlgLEpb955OOZZgzq58A0hOj/s320/plans+list.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5411222022684778658" border="0" /></a><br />Planning expedites your obligatory work load, leading to enjoyable productive days, and making for more efficient use of leisure time (guilt free i might add). Planning efficient use of your time now simultaneously enhances the chance of casual times later. It's pretty much a guarantee of goodness. Plans make things happen. Good things.<br /><br /><span style="font-size:78%;"><span style="font-family:georgia;"> All plans are subject to change including late departures and arrivals as well as full fledged cancellations. Change of plans are always acceptable and no party should be held accountable for such. Accountability is not casual in this case nor are the grudges that persist following a hold of accountability towards any singular party or parties. </span>To plan on not planning nullifies the planning process and all plans are therefor void. Do, however, plan on making other plans if it be that the original plan, by nature of its sloppy planning, fails to materialize into a real plan. Do not intentionally make plans that are not meant to be fulfilled, for these plans are not really plans and do not fall withing the qualifications of successful planning. What was once a plan, is not always a plan and may never be a plan until planned again. All plans are eligible for re-planning. Plans are not to be confused with planes, though plans on planes and any plans including flight are good plans but should be made well in advance. Plans exists in plants, who follow natures plan, which happens to be the best plan of all. I plan you plan, we all plan for plans. After all, we do live on a planet, but we are not sure it was planned that way. </span>Belly Monsterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05857066268373991913noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6301877200502206939.post-5283427339965861392009-12-02T14:18:00.000-08:002009-12-03T16:05:15.553-08:00Casual Snacking: Ice Cream Sandwiches<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgj2lnXgSZs_AAZYgrYu40D_omkSiIimljzhSY_y_KmOVnSNC73iaL1w9nwIBZDz4JL0aLkK49096DWWQeAmNzxBdyQaoMEFL8fOmZerBuMNljmNsVVw8pmfaC31e-aeXfvofiEp6IeyJAF/s1600-h/vanilla.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 275px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgj2lnXgSZs_AAZYgrYu40D_omkSiIimljzhSY_y_KmOVnSNC73iaL1w9nwIBZDz4JL0aLkK49096DWWQeAmNzxBdyQaoMEFL8fOmZerBuMNljmNsVVw8pmfaC31e-aeXfvofiEp6IeyJAF/s320/vanilla.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5410767082051286994" /></a><br /><br />Ah yes the Original Ice Cream Sandwich , A casual must!<br /><br />Today I'm writing on the original, not the cookie based ice cream sandwich.<br /><br />In the United States, an ice cream sandwich is a slice of ice cream, commonly vanilla although other flavors are often used, sandwiched between two rectangular wafers, usually chocolate.<br /><br />Now these call back to everyones childhood where you would hear that magical ring of the ice cream truck roaring down the street, your ears perk up from playing NBA Jam and you run to your mother get a dollar and tear out the front door in hopes that this magical truck that only serves sweets has not left your street yet.<br /><br />Some people like the frozen pops and those have there place in the world but I was a classy young lad and as far as i'm concerned the ice cream sandwich is the most classy of items you can buy from the truck. You can go original vanilla or if you are feeling a bit picky you can go neapolitan and get 3 awesome flavors combined into one tasty treat.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4I9KyzzZw4geEPsjd_OTC29imsGC4z_gTVpnVN_nmXBtBS6IbCm81LkeaXinFsNYI0Wy3TRNlmZ9PkS-nImTpA-K4XI7m03v5bCvEcUf0YV_-qLpxdEJhm2KdsztZQSOE7Y1iDnCfCqtm/s1600-h/57523-2T.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 239px; height: 250px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4I9KyzzZw4geEPsjd_OTC29imsGC4z_gTVpnVN_nmXBtBS6IbCm81LkeaXinFsNYI0Wy3TRNlmZ9PkS-nImTpA-K4XI7m03v5bCvEcUf0YV_-qLpxdEJhm2KdsztZQSOE7Y1iDnCfCqtm/s320/57523-2T.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5411164638273515906" /></a><br /><br />Now as you unwrap the wrapper some people might complain that the sandwich is messy cause the chocolate wafer tends to stick to ones fingers but do not be mistaken by rookies telling you this is a bad thing, its actually a blessing in disguise as when the wafer sticks to your fingers its actually making your fingers into tiny lil brownies as a bonus its like the dessert after the dessert. <br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIMZG-Fj02EwokIFi-KF1uEumHNm-U2xztdF8NiLxowFmA367_9HWPOoaWzy5n0z3i_8Rlxoa8f3NrP9Tvqrl_6ci4Z_4drQ41BDrJhx5CQKBYAAlHa5itQeUwb-EtP5Ka2ZeGXwihfHe2/s1600-h/867673107_8acbc9525d.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIMZG-Fj02EwokIFi-KF1uEumHNm-U2xztdF8NiLxowFmA367_9HWPOoaWzy5n0z3i_8Rlxoa8f3NrP9Tvqrl_6ci4Z_4drQ41BDrJhx5CQKBYAAlHa5itQeUwb-EtP5Ka2ZeGXwihfHe2/s320/867673107_8acbc9525d.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5411164987181765346" /></a><br /><br />One might ponder what type of Ice Cream sandwich the Snowbear eats? <br />Well the answer is the type that has a Snowbear on box!<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfE0yI5GeVNAIvnzowT3g1G1wwuQZd4cfNSQTi6FCmOZvYKITrqWbr5Xi5QMxhcbQyuvIvnjxfOIPMScHh8uSretR3iKd0ZnnVD082EpWNjpe4HQCiJByBui0qhAYspyvFV_HIGH7eGEre/s1600-h/Photo+6.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfE0yI5GeVNAIvnzowT3g1G1wwuQZd4cfNSQTi6FCmOZvYKITrqWbr5Xi5QMxhcbQyuvIvnjxfOIPMScHh8uSretR3iKd0ZnnVD082EpWNjpe4HQCiJByBui0qhAYspyvFV_HIGH7eGEre/s320/Photo+6.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5410770176640141266" /></a>Snowbearhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16035905050228621173noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6301877200502206939.post-43823672674439331132009-11-17T11:16:00.000-08:002009-11-17T12:41:49.126-08:00Casual Seating: Hammocks<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNJxlO6h2oExb1d1R4IBvt5uxIUuXqHbN-U4VxMAWcuB7mSWnewXeeipEMborH3e_ONXUgf8dlhmkBkgTq21HFErGSa2d0ooooSTRlooniR-7aEjcgVXVZ6HsszOm-PXb0rqs2WWlcIcYH/s1600/Texsport_Hammock.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 213px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNJxlO6h2oExb1d1R4IBvt5uxIUuXqHbN-U4VxMAWcuB7mSWnewXeeipEMborH3e_ONXUgf8dlhmkBkgTq21HFErGSa2d0ooooSTRlooniR-7aEjcgVXVZ6HsszOm-PXb0rqs2WWlcIcYH/s320/Texsport_Hammock.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5405154108023247570" /></a><br /><br />Hammocks are one of the most casual ways to enjoy yourself while laying down.<br /><br />Hammocks were developed by native inhabitants of tropical regions for sleeping. Later, they were used aboard ships by sailors to enable comfort and maximize available space, and by explorers or soldiers traveling in jungle regions. Today they are popular around the world for relaxation; they are also used as a lightweight bed on camping trips. The hammock is often seen as symbol of summer, leisure, relaxation and simple, easy living.<br /><br />Hammocks are very casual as you can place them between two points where ever you are they are available in all sizes and weights so you can take a travel hammock with you in your adventures in wooded , tropical or urban areas. But you must be somewhat ok with balance you dont want to pull a rookie move and fall off of your hammock mid siesta.<br /><br />Everyone likes hammocks so much that we are striving as a human race to find new ways to make everything a bit more casual and relaxed.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisngeTWjbO3cYSoUJJYZOrjpRhy3uwU3WRSA0X98639mZFTNlJBIrlhqbrPUdHh7o229f5AQZhg4urYzEBxYxdSusSj-MPB-mKyA0fqBN2maHdDnvIK3Ne6MkVyk7ZzoN0PePq8S8_aiWc/s1600/banana_hammock.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer;

Animals should NEVER wear clothes. If they are mammals, they already have coats on all the time. You are not doing them a service. And if your dressing your fish in a wetsuit equipt with snorkle, well then that's pretty epic and I'll let it slide just this once. Aside from that, the only garments ever to be adorned by animals are sun glasses, and only with inter-species consent. Why on earth would you have the bright idea of dressing up your cat or dog as another animal, let alone a person? A dog is a dog, will always be a dog and will never be a frog.

This is the most depressing and idiotic, not mention highly uncasual thing a human can do to an animal. Miniature zoos on wheels, ugh. Wheeling your dog around like a helpless baby does not qualify as WALKING it!! They have legs for a reason and they like to excersise them. If you really need control, use the leash for god sake. I hate to break it to you, but your dog HATES you. It spends all day wishing it had opposable thumbs so that it could unbuckle its seatbelt, pick up a knife and stab you through your sick little heart. If you do this (pet strolling), or even think about doing this, you will spend eternity in your own personal hell which consists of you strapped tightly in a small stroller, being pushed around in the 90 degree heat by a giant dog with sunglasses, while humungous cats in suits and top hats stop on the street to stare and pinch your cheeks. You sick fucks. Get a life. It's not the dogs fault your kids don't love you. Maybe you shouldn't have tortured them either.

Aha ! you think to yourself I need proper lighting back here and ones first thought of casual lighting in the backyard or deck is the Tiki Torch. Ya you could go and buy malibu lights but those are a bad choice cause they use energy and you dont live in malibu and the lights dont give off the ambient environment you were looking to achieve with a real flame.<br /><br />So go out to your local home depot or Osh and grab a half dozen torches and place them around the backyard and you will quickly feel like you are in a more casual setting. If you live in a area that might have a problem like mosquito's well look no further some tiki torches have a anti-uncasual bug element mixed in with the fuel so your casual evening will not be ruined by having bugs bite you or try and sip the fresh sugar cane juice from your mojito.<br /><br />The fascination with tiki torches have been around the united states for quite some time and have kept up in pop culture even now in present times where we have entire shows that end with epic tiki trial by fire endings like survivor where your time on the island has been cut off by a show of putting your tiki torch out. <br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglqbv_j0dxLMXbmk8-Hofl-DZBEIU3aItyWntPi0lJgyjOyVHq_e1Yuo-FO8SY-zuKYDcxY7Sltp6Tf2CBSI5NlXi6eCZ-54ZiUzBogzBuC7jeafcx_sSiodR6KjEshzYzoyMzwdcUvnB0/s1600-h/96610_D5025.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglqbv_j0dxLMXbmk8-Hofl-DZBEIU3aItyWntPi0lJgyjOyVHq_e1Yuo-FO8SY-zuKYDcxY7Sltp6Tf2CBSI5NlXi6eCZ-54ZiUzBogzBuC7jeafcx_sSiodR6KjEshzYzoyMzwdcUvnB0/s320/96610_D5025.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5395559932240559602" /></a><br />Sorry sucker your off the casual island.<br /><br />Speaking of islands I think there is no other proper way to bring light into the darkness of the tropical jungles like a good ol tiki torch shit even Jon Locke hunts boars and explores old tunnels and hatches with one.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2oPAY7S0PTg7kBowaiioQTiieJ3r4YMZUwq9MMgQ5gV4rRFdjwTbU33ge0zr0LAr_EyPLYiddKB_0e90E_XnbYkrb3wEg9rkB2tHIxXtYySBGgl76com-Jm8kHCvazz3ovUxmJ1_quHas/s1600-h/Normal_science-faith25.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 213px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2oPAY7S0PTg7kBowaiioQTiieJ3r4YMZUwq9MMgQ5gV4rRFdjwTbU33ge0zr0LAr_EyPLYiddKB_0e90E_XnbYkrb3wEg9rkB2tHIxXtYySBGgl76com-Jm8kHCvazz3ovUxmJ1_quHas/s320/Normal_science-faith25.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5395562290665928850" /></a><br /><br />So go out grab some torches and improve the quality in your casual lighting department at your house then throw a party.<br /><br />But please be careful and do not attempt to blend a Tiki Torch it is not safe or casual.<br /><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/KdEVTqINi0s&hl=en&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/KdEVTqINi0s&hl=en&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>Snowbearhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16035905050228621173noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6301877200502206939.post-77175112353835281752009-10-16T19:23:00.001-07:002009-10-17T22:19:45.461-07:00Casual Prose: Haiku<div style="text-align: center;">October seems to be the month of poetry here at the WCCC.

There is no more denying it. Snacking is now so rampant and leisurely an activity, even the seasoned snacker often forgets they've even done it all day long. Lost in the belly never to be remembered amidst the mighty meals you've consumed. Snacking has been know to lead to serious naps and sometimes full blown sleep, not to mention large pillow like bellies that other snackers can nap on.<br /><br />Snack Cakes.<br /><br />Typically it goes something like this: So you got hungry after lunch, and before dinner you munched some string cheese, a slice of pumpkin pie and a Dorito chip (cooler ranch of course). When your mother calls you that night to check that you haven't gotten festively plump during the holidays and asks you what you ate that day, you tell her about the scrumptious cheeseburger you ate for breakfast, the grande festive burrito you ate for lunch, and the whole leg of lamb and head of cabbage you ate for dinner, completely neglecting your mid day snack intake of pie, Dorito chip and such. You sure as hell didn't tell her about those cookies and milk you ate before bed.<br /><br />Tub Scouts.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjKdPGr9RzOMy9C0EQt63sN-UWn5UseKZAoKkyDPmKr-g3ixGUEm3Cw4iENCfq9m1pXiSEc-pn-TA3R1RNAbRGje9TWnSHP8oY9FzYTmHusLZvVG3tq3UC3FNGlfNZOZ-Nme6HN4u5kyBZ/s1600-h/Cookie+Monster.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 306px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjKdPGr9RzOMy9C0EQt63sN-UWn5UseKZAoKkyDPmKr-g3ixGUEm3Cw4iENCfq9m1pXiSEc-pn-TA3R1RNAbRGje9TWnSHP8oY9FzYTmHusLZvVG3tq3UC3FNGlfNZOZ-Nme6HN4u5kyBZ/s320/Cookie+Monster.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5389374101721843906" border="0" /></a><br />Today we highlight the intrepid cookie and milk combo. It is glorious in its nature. Some may say that milk came before the cookie but they are wrong. Cows love cookies too and they made milk especially for them. To have one without the other, expecially after 8pm is just a dirty shame. In the AM hours cookies can be supplimented with cereal. We recommend the cookie/cereal creation known as Cooookie Crisps. Anyways, get some cookies. Get some milk, and make sure its 2% or over. Skim milk will not suffice for this exercise as it is merely white water disguised as milk. Dipping is essential. In fact it is less of a dip and more of a soak. You must time your soak perfectly as to not let the cookie get so overly soggy that it leaves cookie remnants in your milk. That is poor form and will not be tolerated. If you do this right, you will be rewarded greatly by both taste and texture. If you don't believe me, ask a monster. Apparently they really like cookies. Though i'm not sure they have time to dip them in milk, for they are so madly in love with cookies they seem to shove handfuls of cookies straight into the mouth. Doesn't matter what kind. I do not recommend this.<br /><br />I strongly suggest the use of Oreo Cookies along with whole milk. Snickerdoodles, Oatmeal Raisin, and of course Chocolate Chip and also highly recommended.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjj1TLU5_TtbZidbHnSj-80q8-lLSXF2WAqAyV1qi9qd-OWcJdYumlaTnLfAaYlkTaw8Ie6eS6CQWQwSSPvoyaFYmxYhGOjyK4hM4YPEyuusGrVLhR6roTdt_Hcczy6vw0ZFSd8H_CEqc5J/s1600-h/Oreo-and-Milk-oreo-1413993-403-400.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 318px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjj1TLU5_TtbZidbHnSj-80q8-lLSXF2WAqAyV1qi9qd-OWcJdYumlaTnLfAaYlkTaw8Ie6eS6CQWQwSSPvoyaFYmxYhGOjyK4hM4YPEyuusGrVLhR6roTdt_Hcczy6vw0ZFSd8H_CEqc5J/s320/Oreo-and-Milk-oreo-1413993-403-400.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5389373930465986818" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Incognito cookies keep it casualBelly Monsterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05857066268373991913noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6301877200502206939.post-57047585752886179512009-10-05T14:08:00.000-07:002009-10-05T15:48:02.100-07:00A Casual Beverage: The Capri Sun<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiM5u-KV3YT0iHBofgHk7WWtVrrBm-o9e-NfDV-wEADtNduVEzmpxFBVr5yUHLCa443Ps-ViVJBCrqADLEE99fG811bsCsU6U8rJDD6RvFMqyPEkHLfWh9tvv0J6AodMimh2yirH5OpJjzq/s1600-h/Capri_Sun_Pouch.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 229px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiM5u-KV3YT0iHBofgHk7WWtVrrBm-o9e-NfDV-wEADtNduVEzmpxFBVr5yUHLCa443Ps-ViVJBCrqADLEE99fG811bsCsU6U8rJDD6RvFMqyPEkHLfWh9tvv0J6AodMimh2yirH5OpJjzq/s320/Capri_Sun_Pouch.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5389251066716483010" /></a><br />In the early years as a young boy growing up in the 818 chapter, my mom would pack me a sack lunch and i learned about the Capri Sun, one of the most casual of beverages to give you the refreshing taste you need all in just a little silver pouch. These casual pouches come in a variety of tropical flavors to quench your thirst. With 100% wholesome natural fruit flavor its no wonder the capri sun is the most casual of juices. Worstin's flavor of choice is the pacific cooler, it represents the pacific which is the most casual of all the oceans and combines a mixed fruit juice taste. The Capri sun is a must in any sack lunch, its easy and on the go, just take the straw and pop it in and your good to go.Worstinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01702233872215603606noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6301877200502206939.post-86993689572344729472009-10-05T12:42:00.000-07:002009-10-05T23:54:51.836-07:00Casual Gone Wrong: Plastic "Clamshell" Packaging<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhE85r-G3PPNwSNFVjb45h4KIxzczQOTqlmv5nF-CEXwdpBjs9XJG7s7vpmQHOq7HbJ0xAZlrGJWKpgtIXRycI-mME-iSnMMfniJYkX6hkbhMx9RoPZqCA2wdh159Fmh28Xg5uhdFEuQ8Cc/s1600-h/mvc-002s.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 294px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhE85r-G3PPNwSNFVjb45h4KIxzczQOTqlmv5nF-CEXwdpBjs9XJG7s7vpmQHOq7HbJ0xAZlrGJWKpgtIXRycI-mME-iSnMMfniJYkX6hkbhMx9RoPZqCA2wdh159Fmh28Xg5uhdFEuQ8Cc/s320/mvc-002s.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5389205192874541858" /></a><br /><br />Plastic "clamshell" packaging is the worst as we all know. Who ever the asshole is who created this non casual packaging should be arrested and shipped off to some shitty place where he/she has to try to open packages like these with his/her bare hands for the rest of there life.<br /> I could be suffering from wrap rage. In fact, the term "wrap rage" was coined because so many people are losing there casual cool because of the anger and frustration that inevitably arises when trying to pry the ubiquitous packaging open.<br /><br />Thousands of people end up in emergency rooms each year with lacerations and puncture wounds from battling with the nearly impossible-to-open packaging. Many more get minor wounds from using sharp objects to open packages, according to American Medical News.<br /><br /><object width="560" height="340"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/6lnJJ7uq7Oc&hl=en&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/6lnJJ7uq7Oc&hl=en&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="560" height="340"></embed></object><br /><br />Here at the WCCC we do not encourage you to try to open these packages but if you must we offer this slight piece of knowledge.

<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hieroglyphics_%28group%29">Casual</a> is West Coast Casual...<br />
<br />
1994's <i>Fear Itself</i> is of significance to Owens' career. It is his only major label-marketed album and features various members of his crew, <a class="mw-redirect" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hieroglyphics" title="Hieroglyphics">Hieroglyphics</a>, on vocals and production. The album also features a prominent cameo from Bay Area rapper <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saafir" title="Saafir">Saafir</a>. The album follows a traditional format: its songs adhere to a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Verse-chorus_form" title="Verse-chorus form">verse-chorus-verse</a> arrangement, and the up-tempo and slower tracks are contrasted against each other. The popularity of the album's second single, "I Didn't Mean To" exposed Owens to a wider audience.

Take a nice hot shower and chase it down with a nice frosty beer what else could beat that ? Now this is a privilege and you cant abuse this casual pastime or else it will lose its special casual significance. There is no size limit for the beer that you bring into the shower it just has to be in 1 container. Some people prefer the small can beer and others prefer the bottle or you could even go larger the choice is up the the casual individual.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpAELp0jXD593aYr76v6ziDJNDibc8zq-avJacjNxN3JuNy1lbM5gQERnw1kzBVaHvIhyz-PzMHS3lH9bCT1Rz0w7F3nqCp2gEzv2f8p1VHEbcJCYwDt_xGv8QarnnyhURoEcMjeCiguc4/s1600-h/3064_780848960273_1200892_44870623_3603505_n.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpAELp0jXD593aYr76v6ziDJNDibc8zq-avJacjNxN3JuNy1lbM5gQERnw1kzBVaHvIhyz-PzMHS3lH9bCT1Rz0w7F3nqCp2gEzv2f8p1VHEbcJCYwDt_xGv8QarnnyhURoEcMjeCiguc4/s320/3064_780848960273_1200892_44870623_3603505_n.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5384775125502724034" /></a><br /><br />Shout out to Mr.Fiction for his recommendation on this post.Snowbearhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16035905050228621173noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6301877200502206939.post-81426239627464106362009-09-21T12:30:00.000-07:002009-09-23T14:55:07.557-07:00Casual Sports: Croquet<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinyz9trVLXh_8sV2Xy0dGM0UR6niDkkYp0DnhsI7i2S2Zt3kK52DtZ_kmkIZWg4oVJsgDqLN8T1Mw6aKla76i5-B6tlJpC_wu4BX5YJVh539qw9NJQuDpB2lz58PoPbfxD5QjN553y0B_I/s1600-h/Croquet.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 224px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinyz9trVLXh_8sV2Xy0dGM0UR6niDkkYp0DnhsI7i2S2Zt3kK52DtZ_kmkIZWg4oVJsgDqLN8T1Mw6aKla76i5-B6tlJpC_wu4BX5YJVh539qw9NJQuDpB2lz58PoPbfxD5QjN553y0B_I/s320/Croquet.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5384006853711618930" /></a><br /><br /><br />Croquet is a casual lawn game, played both as a leisurely pastime and as a competitive sport, which involves hitting wooden or plastic balls with a mallet through hoops embedded into the grass playing court.<br /><br />The history of this casual sport of Croquet is that it became highly popular as a social pastime in England during the 1860s; by 1867, John Jaques, of the manufacturer Jaques of London that still supplies a significant share of croquet equipment used today had printed 65,000 copies of his Laws and Regulations of the game. It quickly spread to other Anglophile countries, including Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, the United States and Canada. No doubt one of the attractions was that the game could be played by both sexes; this also ensured a certain amount of adverse comment.<br /><br />This game is to be played on a lovely grass field where you can drink a refreshing casual beverage like blueberry ice tea and have a nice chat with your fellow casual athletes as the sunny rays of the west coast greet you with their warm presence.<br /><br />If you are not in the most casual environment then you can improve the irritable habitat by installing one of these courses where ever just buy plucking a few hoops in the ground and instantly you are more casual and content.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0dqUcqcD7eTmWtv_0qma2fYsJkYxHeRIUGLZ8psxqUpIEo51L-y69WIWZOdwU_TdUny6wUk5euAgC9lH-KA4n92qpz_XsIe-SGp6nTjB3de5CPVja7scNg-PpDBEGJSxmlplQEQ0T2Flg/s1600-h/Croquet_at_South_Pole,_April_2005.jpeg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0dqUcqcD7eTmWtv_0qma2fYsJkYxHeRIUGLZ8psxqUpIEo51L-y69WIWZOdwU_TdUny6wUk5euAgC9lH-KA4n92qpz_XsIe-SGp6nTjB3de5CPVja7scNg-PpDBEGJSxmlplQEQ0T2Flg/s320/Croquet_at_South_Pole,_April_2005.jpeg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5384011601730906498" /></a>Snowbearhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16035905050228621173noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6301877200502206939.post-43060435365592840572009-09-20T19:47:00.000-07:002009-09-20T19:53:48.010-07:00Casual Gone Wrong: Brain Freezes<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: auto;">The cold treat is one of the most hellasually delectable delights the world has to offer. Nothing soothes the soul better on a hot West Coast day than a leisurely beverage or ice cream cone. Whether on ice, blended, alcoholic, or clean and sober; these frigid joys are glorious creations. If the casual human is not the master of their domain, however, tasty treats can go from splendiferous to horrendous due to a drastically non-casual occurrence...THE BRAIN FREEZE...Brrrr...<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.impactlab.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/brain-freeze-342.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="133" src="http://www.impactlab.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/brain-freeze-342.jpg" width="200" /></a><br />
</div>The Brain Freeze is the instant result of an over eager attempt at being too casual. If the casual consumer gets too excited to slug down their summer slurpee (although it's always slurpee season on the West Coast), a sharp, quick pain shoots straight to the brain. This pain cannot truly be described, as the feeling is unlike any other. There is an exact science to it though that has appeared in recent studies. It goes like this...<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://weblogs.baltimoresun.com/entertainment/dining/reviews/blog/slurpee.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="http://weblogs.baltimoresun.com/entertainment/dining/reviews/blog/slurpee.jpg" width="154" /></a><br />
</div>The warmness of the West Coast brain freezes over like the arctic. Penguins and polar bears then appear inside of the cranium and bite and poke at the brain with their teeth and beaks respectively. After a short while, they build an igloo, mate, and an eskimo is born. This eskimo is mean however (half bear/half penguin) and he pokes the skull with an icicle. Finally the pacific sun returns and the ice melts away as the creatures go into hibernation.<br />

</div>Beware the brain freeze friends, sip slowly, and most importantly...<br />

The device consists of a motor-driven chain of individual, linked steps that move up or down on tracks, allowing the step treads to remain horizontal.<br />The benefits of escalators are many. They have the capacity to move large numbers of people, and they can be placed in the same physical space as one might install a staircase. They have no waiting interval (except during very heavy traffic), they can be used to guide people toward main exits or special exhibits, and they may be weatherproofed for outdoor use. The escalator can never break because if it is turned off it just turns into stairs.<br /><br />If you feel the need to not take yourself up or down a floor you can just cruise at a flat level on a moving sidewalk.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZ8pyKGLVnV1HeOPVlyhXFVM_G6BsXjemUW9w2KTjTvHIzU1duxeE92eaIq5HGQiJXnmwRgC0qrCWoUD5rT_up2RnnUXWJixKW08mdnHFMksrT64jHxvORQDukhTclisd2Cf6XXk-fjNle/s1600-h/388322958_d2ec473769.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 213px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZ8pyKGLVnV1HeOPVlyhXFVM_G6BsXjemUW9w2KTjTvHIzU1duxeE92eaIq5HGQiJXnmwRgC0qrCWoUD5rT_up2RnnUXWJixKW08mdnHFMksrT64jHxvORQDukhTclisd2Cf6XXk-fjNle/s320/388322958_d2ec473769.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5382882251226515794" /></a><br />These moving sidewalks are the most casual way to cruise through airports no need to stress out your arms carrying your luggage.
