			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So at the request of some people and the assistance of Sarah from <a href="http://smartbitchestrashybooks.com">Smart Bitches</a>, we have constructed a google bomb for those who want to help Scott Baio get the publicity he so&nbsp; desperately&nbsp; wants (despite his claims that he is fulfilled by golf and family).  A google bomb is really the only way to fulfill Scott Baio&#8217;s desire to regain his fame.  If you aren&#8217;t helping, then you are standing in the way of <a href="http://dearauthor.com/wordpress/2009/10/14/teachable-moment-someones-new-twitter-addiction-is-running-amok/">a true American grain from finding his destiny</a>.</p>
<blockquote>
<h3>Chachbag</h3>
<p>also <strong>chach bag</strong></p>
<p>Function: noun</p>
<p>Alternate Form(s): chach bagger</p>
<p>Pronunciation: chah-ch bahg</p>
<p>1.  an individual who has little-to-no sense of humor and perceives threats to his reputation at every social media corner.</p>
<p>2.  a grain</p>
<p>Example of usage: <em>&#8220;If that idiot tries to call me out for not following them, I&#8217;m going to lose it. What a chach bag.&#8221;</em></p>
<p>Synonyms: <em>douchebag, tool, halfwit, D list celebrity </em></p>
<p>Antonyms: <em>Ron Howard as Opie</em></p>
<p>Related entries: See also <em>Chach Block</em></p>
<p>Etymology: From Scott Baio&#8217;s behavior on Twitter wherein he threatened to sue a romance novelist because she unfollowed him on Twitter due to references he made about President Barack Obama being a &#8220;shitfuck&#8221; and other sundry remarks.</p></blockquote>
<p>Making this the top result requires help,  I&#8217;ve created a page with the definition for &#34;<a href="http://www.dearauthor.com/chachbag">Chachbag</a>&#8220;.  You need to LINK TO http://www.dearauthor.com/chachbag with &#34;Chachbag&#34; as the anchor text. The link should look like this:</p>
<blockquote><p>&lt;a href=&#8221;http://dearauthor.com/chachbag&#8221;&gt;chachbag&lt;/a&gt;</p></blockquote>
<p>This is known as Google-bombing. &nbsp; Bomb away. And remember, if you aren&#8217;t part of the solution, you are part of the problem. &nbsp; Let this man&#8217;s grain find his way home!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img style="float:right; margin:10px" title="scottbaio2-273x300" src="http://dearauthor.wpengine.netdna-cdn.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/scottbaio2-273x300.jpg" alt="scottbaio2-273x300" width="273" height="300" />For those in their 30s and 40s, Scott Baio is best remembered for playing Chachie, a wannabe punk, nephew of The Fonz. &nbsp; He was also Charles in Charge, a manny. &nbsp; Today&#8217;s generation might best remember him for a three year stint on VH-1 as a reality star and <a href="http://www.totallythebomb.com/charles-in-charge-of-my-direct-messages">now for his Twitter addiction run amok</a>.</p>
<p>He started tweeting about how his wife calls <a href="http://twitter.com/thescottbaio/status/4739637950">President Obama a &#8220;shitfuck</a>&#8221; and other pretty rude things. &nbsp; Gwen Hayes, an aspiring romance author, decided to unfollow him. &nbsp; Charles got upset and compared Obama to Michael Vick (not seeing the connection here) and then when Gwen tried to respond, Chachie engaged in what we shall now call the &#8220;<strong>chach block</strong>&#8221; which is the Twitter equivalent of sticking your fingers in your ears and saying &#8220;I can&#8217;t hear you&#8221;.</p>
<p>Things have escalated to the point where Charles in Charge has taken &nbsp; his show about &#8220;being the grain&#8221; (yeah, I have no idea what that means) to the Glenn Beck radio show.</p>
<blockquote><p>BAIO: I don&#8217;t know which is worse. But and somebody said on the Twitter, why am I going against the grain in terms of my beliefs. And I said, I thought I was the grain. I thought the things that I believed in were the things that this country stood for. And there&#8217;s very few things that I truly believe in and</p>
<p>GLENN: Hang on just a wait a minute. I&#8217;ve got to go back to that. Why would you go against the grain on what you believe in?</p>
<p>BAIO: No, no. They felt that what I believed was against the grain.</p>
<p>GLENN: Yeah, but what difference does the grain make if you believe in something?</p>
<p>BAIO: Well, I don&#8217;t know. And my argument was I thought I was the grain.</p>
<p>GLENN: You are.</p></blockquote>
<p>I don&#8217;t suggest <a href="http://www.glennbeck.com/content/articles/article/196/31896/">reading the transcript</a> unless you are drunk or high because sober, it makes no sense.</p>
<p>Let me sum up this wtf-ery for you. Charles in Charge is upset that some random person on Twitter unfollowed him and then a few other random people on Twitter told him his actions were stupid. &nbsp; Chachie/Charles claims that<a href="http://twitter.com/thescottbaio/status/4770653667"> his life is great</a> and <a href="http://www.totallythebomb.com/aw-scott-baio-is-mad-now">that he is very very rich</a> and that others are pathetic for wanting to engage with him and then threatens that he will <a href="http://twitter.com/thescottbaio/status/4804492978">sue people like Hayes for</a> &#8230; unfollowing him?</p>
<p>I think Charles needs to wind down. Play some golf. Read a romance. &nbsp; Here&#8217;s your teachable moment: If you are ever compared to acting like Charles in Charge, it&#8217;s time to take a break from the keyboard. Don&#8217;t be a <a href="http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=chach%20bag">chachbag</a>.</p>
