I Won’t Complain If It Rains

August 31, 2007 · Leave a Comment

After hi-tailing it out of the home town in early May, I make my triumphant return to the Pacific Northwest tonight. I plan to celebrate with giant slabs of salmon, wearing Birkenstock’s with sox and a North Face fleece, and getting fucking drunk at the world famous Up & Up Tavern. I’ll probably eat a few Dick’s cheeseburgers too.

A toast to the homies who have offered me rides so I don’t have to rent a car like a sucker.

Where We Look For Inspiration

August 29, 2007 · Leave a Comment

Yesterday’s post got me thinking, we here at Chin Chin! have been negligent in our posting. Our super-blog gives the blog reading public a toast about once a day. We do this for all you out there who have trouble thinking of a good reason to drink. Yesterday I mentioned Lindsay Lohan in a shameless attempt at getting more people to visit. Thing is, Lindsay’s our kind of girl, which is to say, a drunk.

But there is no reason to limit ourselves to Lindsay Lohan when there is a world of celebrity drunks out there.

Don’t worry, the salute to the women of drunkeness will be coming along in the next few days. For now, here is to all those famous drunken men, keep on inspiring us.

Lindsay Lohan, Lindsay Lohan, Lindsay Lohan

August 28, 2007 · Leave a Comment

We got over three thousand hits on our previous post on Lindsay Lohan on saturday. That’s a lot of hits for a crappy blog like this. So I thought I would drop Lindsay Lohan’s name a few more times, and thank her for helping us trick people into coming to our site. Lindsay Lohan.

So today’s Chin Chin toast is to all the web traffic Ms. Lohan is bringing us.

A Chin Chin Civics Lesson

August 26, 2007 · Leave a Comment

Today is the 87th anniversary of the 19th amendment. For those of you who didn’t pay attention in civics class, the 19th amendment gave woman the right to vote. I’d like to celebrate this occasion by pointing out that just because you can vote, no matter what your gender is, doesn’t mean you should vote. Don’t go to the polls and vote for Mitt Romney cause you want a president who wears funny underwear, don’t vote for Baraka Obama cause he has a cool name.

If you don’t know who you should vote for, and by that I mean understand where candidates stand on issues that are important to you, spend the next election reading Chin Chin! and getting plastered. But lets celebrate the 19th amendment by having a drink in honor of all the women who are informed voters.

Stop! That’s my purse!

August 24, 2007 · Leave a Comment

Former NY Giants reciever Mark Ingram has been charged with breaking into a garage near Flint Michigan and stealing a purse. If convicted Ingram could face 10 years in prison (apparently stealing a purse is misdemeanor larceny, but breaking and entering is very much a felony), and will have sucessfully added to his rap sheet which includes an arrest for stealing a credit card (and a golf club, nice) from a Flint area golf course, as well as having been sentanced in Miami for being caught with $3,290 in counterfeit cash. Tip of the hat to the New York Times for keeping us up to speed on the dirty deeds of NFL retirees as well as the current players. Cheers to taking whatever you can get your hands on.

A Day Late, A Buck Short

Occasional Chin Chin! poster STP turned 28 yesterday. On my 28th birthday I hiked to a gorgeous Costa Rican waterfall during the day and got better acquainted with a cute German girl that night. STP had dinner with his dad, I’m sure that was nice.

So let’s drank to STP lasting for 28 years.

It’s the little things in life

August 20, 2007 · Leave a Comment

In my never-ending quest for intellectual supremacy I was reading this morning, as is my current trend since I’m on vacation, and stumbled across the answer to a question that has been plaguing me for years.  It turns out the corn we eat today is a gigantic freak evolving through thousands of years of natural and artificial selection.  As it is the original corn cobs were less than half an inch in length meaning I have been asking the wrong question all along.  The question should not have been where does baby corn come from, the question should have been were does this gigantic corn on the cob come from.  Anyways here’s to baby corn, it’s the delicious little things in life that make it worthwhile.
