Thursday on Lights Out Radio: "King" Mo Lawal, Jake Rosholt

That’s an impressive guest list. I’m still one that thinks that Rosholt will be a UFC caliber fighter again before it’s all said and done.

April 16th is St. Charles Day. Wear orange, get drunk and show your love for St. Charles day!

Tell your friends, everybody. This is going to be a helluva show.

Drop it in here

But really, it would be awesome if you asked him about St. Charles day.

The history of St. Charles day. Read it, learn it, practice it, celebrate it, love it.

Throughout history, there have been certain years that have become eternally linked to incredible events that have drastically changed life on Earth as we know it. The year 1066 will be forever known as the year in which the Normans invaded England. Columbus sailed the ocean blue in 1492. Seventeen hundred and seventy-six is synonymous with the birth of the United States of America. Likewise, one cannot speak of 1992 without first acknowledging that it is the year in which the great and talented Miley Cyrus was born. In the year of our Lord Jesus Christ 2008, however, an idea so awe-inspiring and mind boggling came to fruition. That was the year in which the first ever St. Charles’ Day was celebrated. As the brainchild of A.J. Thompson, Dave Laws and Mike Chandonais, St. Charles’ Day came about as a result of the demands of the accounting profession. Seeing as how they were both accountants, A.J. and Dave were prevented from enjoying and taking part in the immoral self-indulgence of St. Patrick’s Day as a result of being slaves to the butt fuck work system and experiencing the endless workloads and long workdays that are commonly associated with tax season. This angered Mike to such a great degree that it forced him to demand answers to questions such as “Why are Dave and A.J. unable to party with me on St. Patrick’s Day?”, “How can I fix this problem?” and “Why am I such a Liberal Nazi?” To alleviate themselves of this horrible dilemma, Mike and Dave decided to celebrate their own holiday on the first Friday after April 15. This idea was presented to A.J. and, given the fact that he’s so much smarter, popular and better looking than Mike and Dave, he was able to come up with the perfect idea of incorporating a party bus into the celebration. However, the three pioneers knew that they could not pull off such a tremendous feat on their own. After countless handjobs and acts of sodomy, they managed to recruit the help of fellow Drunk Club® members Joe Beauchamp, Zein Kalaj, Bill Laws, Sean Hawley, and Tim York. The first rule of Drunk Club® has always been “Don’t drunk about talk club”, but, in 2008, the Drunk Club® established a second rule which decreed orange to be the official color of St. Charles’ Day. Why was orange chosen as the official color you ask? Who the fuck knows?

It was decided that the festivities for the first annual St. Charles’ Day were to take place in Mt. Clemens. Donned in their orange attire and resembling the Dutch national soccer team, the gentlemen of the Drunk Club®, already intoxicated from pre-drinking, descended upon the Rock Room with an unspeakable fury in order to take advantage of dollar beers. It is said that so much alcohol was consumed by the Drunk Club® that night that Betty Ford reportedly pissed her Depend panties upon hearing that the blood alcohol level for the entire group was an astounding .OMG. Despite the night ending with volatile projections of vomit on walls, a near race riot erupting in Mt. Clemens, and Joe Beauchamp’s blood pressure skyrocketing to 343 during the ride home, the Drunk Club® vowed to make St. Charles’ Day bigger and better the following year.

The Drunk Club® made good on its promise to make St. Charles’ Day a greater success in 2009. Thanks to word of mouth and Facebook, over 30 people celebrated St. Charles’ Day that year; roughly 4 times the number of people that celebrated it in 2008! In addition, St. Charles’ Day also became a global phenomenon in 2009. Thanks to friends and family of Drunk Club® members, St. Charles’ Day celebrations were also underway in Mt. Pleasant, Chicago, Ireland, Montenegro, Scotland, and Bangladesh. St. Charles’ Day also had its own page on Wikipedia, albeit briefly, before those Nazi cocksucking motherfucking pieces of moderation trash removed the entry. However for 12 whole seconds, St. Charles’ Day was an integral part of the Internet community. The St. Charles’ Day jubilation started off at Wise Guys in Clinton Township that year and then continued via party bus to Rosie O’Grady’s in Chesterfield and maybe even Disneyland and Cedar Point, but who the fuck can really say for sure because we were all really annihilated. Another one of the stops was The Box in Clinton Township, which has the distinction as being the epicenter of douchebaggery. All in all, that night proved to be an incredible achievement, despite the bus being covered in vomit.

There is much buzz and excitement surrounding this year’s St. Charles’ Day celebration. Along with more people being aware of it, St. Charles’ Day has also been plugged by notable celebrities such as James Earl Jones, Sally Field, Haley Joel Osment, and Kazakh music superstar Corky Bucek. Moreover, this year’s St. Charles’ Day is sponsored by Hot ‘n Now.

Chances are, if you’re fortunate enough to be reading this, you’ve been chosen to be a part of something special. St. Charles’ Day 2010 will be taking place on April 16th. There will be a party bus again this year and plans include to meet in Mt. Clemens and then visit bars in Royal Oak, Hamtramck, and possibly Roseville and Eastpointe. Also, in keeping with tradition, the first person to puke on the bus will be made honorary patron of St. Charles’ Day. With that said, the Drunk Club® cordially invites you put on something orange, leave your morals at home and help us celebrate this day of debauchery because we’re the Drunk Club®, damn it, and we’re about getting drunk, we’re about having fun, we’re about having a good time, we’re about meeting girls, we’re about meeting guys, and whoever doesn’t like it can go fuck themselves because we’re the Drunk Club® and that’s what the Drunk Club® is all about.
