Casual Prose: Haiku

October seems to be the month of poetry here at the WCCC. Its only fitting we give tribute to our eastern casual goers with a series of haiku; probably the most casual form of prose ever written:


This is a haiku
It is a casual thing
Time to drink a beer

Leisure clique say hi
Everyone is casual
Spread the love around

California Sun
It makes our lives so awesome
How we love it so

I must say goodbye
Please go write a haiku now
Then post it on here

Casual Soundtrack: Autumnal Astronaut



















Autumnal Astronaut


The Casual Autumnal Astronaut Floats
Wandering Through Space, Looking For Hope

The Seasons Are Changing, The Flowers Soon Sleep
The Astronaut Swims, Into The Deep
The Rain Is Approaching, Say Goodnight To The Sun
The Brain Is Now Soaking, The Colors Soon Run
Greens And Yellows, To Reds And Grays
Seems So Mellow, In Bed He Lays
Dreaming Of Snow, Or Sun Perhaps
Autumn Is Upon Us, Let's Make It Last

Casual Prose: O Thee Casual Turtle


Oh thee glorious casual turtle
Creature of the shell
Morning come and night doth fall
Still in your home you dwell.

You never have to run and hide
Nor scurry home to sleep
You only pull your head inside
And tuck your tiny feet.

Once I had you as a pet
And oh, the fun we had
Lazing in the shade all day
You never made me sad

Until one day I turned my back
You scurried out the door
You wished to be a turtle free
What can I blame you for.

I sat and thought about your life
I hoped that you were well
So free and clear of any strife
Protected in your shell.

But one day turtle, you appeared!
For in my yard you stayed!
You hung around for many years!
Oh glorious casual days!

Based on true events that took place in the summer of '93.

Casual Creature: The Snail...





Oh Casual Snail...
We love you so...
We don't mind how slow you go...
Oh Casual Snail...
You love the rain...
Oozing around the casual drain...
Oh Casual Snail...
You calmly roam...
Carrying around your comfy home...
Oh Casual Snail...
You love to eat leaves...
Sometimes algae in the seas...
Oh Casual Snail...
They might pick on you...
But they just wish they were casual too...

Casual Snacking: Cookies and Milk


Let me start by saying that snacking (known to cows and other land mammals as grazing) is a widespread casual pandemic, however it has yet to recieve serious attention from the West Coast Casual Coalition. 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.

Snack Cakes.

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.

Tub Scouts.

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.

I strongly suggest the use of Oreo Cookies along with whole milk. Snickerdoodles, Oatmeal Raisin, and of course Chocolate Chip and also highly recommended.


Incognito cookies keep it casual

A Casual Beverage: The Capri Sun


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.

Casual Gone Wrong: Plastic "Clamshell" Packaging



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.
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.

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.



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. The ordinary can opener sitting in your kitchen drawer will open this package casually and more safe then a knife,screwdriver or whatever you are using.



Stay Casual Stay Safe.
