Back at it…

We here at Chin Chin don’t want the drinking world to think we have given up on booze. But we have been busy. Not to busy to drink. Just to busy to blog about it. But that’s all about to change.

Here’s to the comeback.

Three Day Weekend Re-Round

After considering this excellent post by WFS about his 3 day weekend I decided to embark on my own little adventure. Armed with with a crew of good freinds from Bellingham, Seattle, Portland, Phoenix, and parts unkown I took in a 30th Birthday party for Matt White, The UW Football, The Seahawks football game and managed to survive a great deal of Das Boot flavored debauchery. At some point I even became freindly with a very cute Seattlite woman. During all this madness there were plenty of things to Cheers. For this post I will Cheers Inappropriateness based on the following conversation between “Agent J” and Smoking Hot Waitress just before the UW game :

Agent J muttering under his breath just loud enough for the people at the table to hear: Are you an official? Because your officially giving me a boner.

Smoking Hot Waitress: What? Did you say you want something?

Agent J looking at his wedding ring: Yeah, how about poligamy?

Smoking Hot Waitress: Poligamy?

Agent J: I’ll just have a Bloody Mary.

To Inapropriate behaviour.

Hurry up and wait!!

Cheers to government inefficiencies!!!

It’s the little things in life

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.

Drinking, its better than drugs…..

This is what drugs can do to you, one of the funniest sports interviews I have seen in a while

http://youtube.com/watch?v=_yTjebH2fLU

if you dont have the time to watch the whole thing the highlights come at about 1:30 when he gives his stats, around 7:30 when his phone rings, and the last minute or so when he goes completely insane.  Here is to alcohol, its better than drugs

Just a little rant

I normally try to keep from personal rants on this blog but this one just has to come out.  I read on tuesday that congress is going to have a talk with David Stern about the current situation with the NBA and gambling.  I find this to be both amazing and unacceptable.  When President Bush wanted to unilaterally go to war with Iraq congress apparently didnt have the time to discuss the decision, a discussion that potentially could have brought out the fact that the evidence of WMDs was fabricated and saved us from the current sticky situation we find ourselves in with Iraq.  I understand that the Patriot Act was passed during a time of heightened fear and anger in this country and can see why nobody took the time to review it when it was first passed, however when the time came to reauthorize it with many of the drawbacks and questionable sections of the act widely known in this country congress again lacked time to properly discuss the reauthorization and instead decided to go ahead and reauthorize the act that has done more damage to the freedoms of people in this country than any terrorist attack ever could.  While President Bush has been steadily usurping powers that once belonged to the congress thereby offsetting the system of checks and balances that was so wisely set up by our forefathers, congress was too busy investigating steroids in baseball to take note, or defend themselves.  In the original blueprint for this country the government was to be responsible to the people ideally making a situation like this impossible, the problem is the people in this country are more interested in Sports and Hollywood than our countries global actions.  I can’t help but feel that we are moments away from started a World War under the disguise of a congressional inquiry into teen pop stars that grow up to become drug addicted psychos.  If that happens I am moving to Canada where the total absence of professional sports and celebrities provides them immunity from making such egregious errors.  Today we drink because it kills brain cells, cheers.

When keeping it real goes wrong…..

Apparently former all star Jose Guillen still plays baseball in the minor leagues.  This is noteworthy not because he may have been making a run at Ricky Henderson’s all time record for oldest guy ever to play baseball but because last night he charged the mound, with his bat.  Yes you read that right, after leading off the game with a home run he was hit in the calf with a pitch in the second inning.  Because he always keeps it real, Offerman (no way he is on steroids this is too sensible a reaction) then chose to run at the pitcher, take a swing at his legs, pull back and swing for the face while hitting the catcher in the back of the head on his backswing.  Offerman was thrown out of the game, will probably earn a lifetime suspension, and was arrested in the clubhouse shortly afterwards.  In a matter of about half an hour he went from hitting a home run to being in jail and is likely to never again play the game that has been his livelihood for the past twenty years.  Let’s drink to keeping it real, no video but heres a picture of the rampage

That which we call a rose……….

In my efforts to become a true new englander when the opportunity arose the other day to go on a boat, I jumped at it. While my first boating experiences were great I noticed an interesting phenomenon, all of these really nice places to take your boat in new england have really bad names like great misery island and worlds end. I think this must be in effort to keep tourists out. after all who wants to take their vacation to misery island? I believe there was an arrested development episode that dealt with this exact phenomenon but I digress. Today we celebrate terrible names for wonderful places, Cheers.

Puncuation

Today we raise a glass to our favorite punctuation marks. Mine is the semi colon; too important for a comma but not quite formal enough to need a full colon: call upon the semi-colon; the most versatile punctuation mark in the English language.

Traffic sucks

Traffic Sucks. Next time you are stuck in traffic get off at the next exit and find a bar. It is better to enjoy yourself while waiting for the traffic to clear than to sit in your car like the rest of the suckers. When you are in the bar, go ahead and celebrate the fact that this blog has helped you to not be a sucker.

P.S. we at chin chin do not support drunk driving in any way shape or form.
