CROSSCHIPS

BIG DUMPS

You take them?

NOT ACCEPTABLE

MOAR CHIPS!!!!!!!!

The above chart is an actual factual representation of the average amount of CHIPS you receive per bag purchase. Never settle for a bag of CHIPS packed full of air and a few CHIPS. This disgusting sceme has been going on for years. Mostly with kettle cooked chips, which are delish, and it’s NOT COOL. I suggest bringing a mathematician with you to the grocery store while buying chips to find the highest quantity of chips per bag for the best price. SIMPLE TO DO ON YOUR OWN? You try figuring out fractions on your own. Who do I look like…….. SOME GUY WHO CAN FIGURE OUT FRACTIONS? Fock you and get yourself a bag of air. The rest of us Crosschippers will scarf down stuffed bags of CHIPPY goodtness.

Failblog has posted this picture as a “Fail”. But we here at Crosschips love this guy. He’s living the Crosschips dream. Don’t let Failblog tell you this is badt, when in fact it is GOODT.

CHIPS R LOOSE

2010-01-06T21:53:00.001-05:00

So, I made some chili yesterday and thought to myself “hmmm a snack during this CHIPS football game would be nice”. So I put together these beauties. It’s Tostitos Scoops w/ some chili inside and Mexican cheese melted on top. You can add more toppings such as salsa, sour cream or guacamole (like you have the time to make guac you ass.)

It’s CROOSH to bake them in the oven or toaster oven at 350 for about 8 minutes. This will give them a classy look and taste.

So, in honor of the CHIIIIIIIIIIIPS (Central MICH), make 4 dozen of these and eat for your best time.

2010-01-05T19:07:00.001-05:00

I picked one of these up at Autozone (GET IN THE ZONE!!!). Probably the best thing ever made and really great for road trips that are over 30 minutes. It’s also super safe. I prefer baking up a Chicago Style pizza, it takes a little longer but who doesn’t like Chi-style? AMIRITE?

Thanksgiving is near and the smell of turkey, corn stuff and scotch are in the air. The preparation for this glorious day is extensive, the selections are bountiful and the hard work is well rewarded with stuffed stomachs and turkey comas. Crosschips enjoys this holiday because it brings together the family to celebrate the time honored tradition of “giving thanks” by stuffing your face like you haven’t eaten in weeks.

There are a lot of things going on this Thanksgiving that we must take into account. Things you don’t normally get to enjoy on a Thursday because you are stuck in an office cubicle, crunching numbers or perhaps writing Crosschips posts on a Word doc. (wut?) We will list these must see programs and we will incorporate some Crosschips into them for more enjoyment.

Morning: Sleep in. You will need the extra rest to have breakfast, lunch, dinner, 2^nd dinner, and then turkey sandwiches.

11am: Price is Right: Probably one of the most underrated game shows in the history of television. The PIR is a must see when you have the day off. For this show we will have donuts and coffee along with some eggs and bacon. Every time a contestant wins or loses, eat something. Every time Drew Carey isn’t funny, eat something. Every time a contestant has a chance to win a car or jumps up and down like a moron, eat something. This should get you primed for the next event.

Noon: Michigan vs. Creighton (ESPN) in the Old Spice Classic BBall tournament. This game should be easy for MICH but just to make if fun, crack out the brew doggers and have a drink every time MICH scores. Enjoy some CHIPS and DIP whilst doing such.

12:30pm: LOLIONS vs. Green Bay: This is going to be difficult to watch while MICH is playing but I suggest you DVR it and catch it from beginning to end (ffwd through commercials) while continuing to drink beers and eat finger foods and some lunch. Pigs in a blanket sounds pretty goodt.

4pm: 1^st Dinner: If you can see any part of your plate other than where you put your thumb while carrying it, you are not good enough. Pack that plate up as much as you can. Eat it for your best time and make sure everyone at the table can hear you chewing and saying complements on the food like: “Yeah you’re goodt.” Or “OMG this corn stuff is the shit!” Maybe you should hold off on that last one to keep it PG.

5pm: Scotch: Have a nice tall glass of Scotch on the rocks. 3 fingers, minimum. Be sure to let it bake in the ice at 350 for a little bit before sipping away.

6pm: 2^nd Dinner: It’s exactly what it sounds like. FILL IT UP!

8:30pm: Turkey Sandwich: I don’t know what it is, but there hasn’t been a thanksgiving I can recall where I didn’t make a turkey sandwich before heading up to bed to pass out in a Tryptophan induced coma. So be sure to enjoy yourself one or two.

9:30pm: Pass out: You have spent all day eating and drinking, your pants have been unbuttoned for the last 3 hours and you can hardly keep your eyes open enough to watch TV. You accomplished a whole lot today in the world of Crosschips. You ate 14 servings in less than 12 hours. Head up to bed or just lay over on the couch, you’re tuckered fella.

Bring on the Goodt Luck!

2009-11-13T18:59:00.001-05:00

LUCKY FOOD!!!

We need to bring some good luck to the Michigan Football team as they head to Wi$con$in this weekend to test their grit at “Camp Randall $tadium”. That’s why we are going to take these lucky foods and put a spin on them to make them more Crosschips approved.

Questions from CrosschipsBT:

“Why come Michigan need luck?” Well, because they are one win away from being bowl eligible and have lost 5 of their last 6 games. Wi$con$in is also ranked 20^th and rarely loses games at home. Since 2005 Wi$con$in is 29-3 at Camp Randall. This place can get loud and their fans are quite peculiar. Here are a couple of their regular activates that could be a part of their home field success:

“Is it because of their “Jump Around” tradition?:

“where fans dance to the House of Pain song of the same name. This takes place between the third and fourth quarters.” - wiki

Or maybe it’s because of their kind fanbase?:

“Badger fans perform a call-and-response chant before kickoffs; however, theirs is much more vulgar than many others. Normally, the east half of the stadium taunts the west side by yelling "Eat shit!" while the west side replies with "Fuck you!" - wiki

I’m sure Michigan felt rattled at M$U, Iowa and maybe a little at Illinois, but they should be ready for what the Cheese heads bring to the table. Michigan needs this win badly and must not be rattled by lame songs and chants. If they can’t get it here, they have to get it done at home against Ohio State who happens to be in the running for the Big Ten Championship (OMG NO WAY).

“Can MICH do win game this weekend?” Of course, BT. Iowa beat them at home and we’ve all seen that Iowa isn’t the greatest team every made. In the last few years, Wi$con$in has had close home games with weak teams which proves anyone has a shot.

Northern Illinois 28-20, 2009
Cal Poly 36-35 OT, 2008
The Citadel 45-31. 2006 (I know 14 isn’t soooo close, but it’s Citadel.)

“Prediction of score also FINAL OUTCOME?”

Now Michigan’s odds are not great. They are a 9 point dog and their main RB is injured AGAIN (Minor). But I think if the defense steps up like it has been SUPPOSED to and the offense keeps the momentum going from the Purdue game (36pts), all 80,321 red and white pajama wearing cheese heads will see their team lose another one at home. I’m gonna go ahead and say with our help by eating the below lucky food items, MICH WILL BE DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOIN’ IT!!!!!!!!!! MICH 27 – Wiscy 24

(Eat/drink the CROSSCHIPS ones)

(1) Blackeyed Peas: A tradition in the American South, where many people believe "Eat poor on New Year's; eat fat the rest of the year." Normally served cooked with ham hocks, seasonings, onion and garlic in a dish called "Hoppin John."

CROSSCHIPS: Black Tacos: First of all, I hate the Blackeyed Peas, they have ruined sporting events since the Pistons 2004 title run. First with “Let’s get it started (in here)” and now “I’ve got a feeling (woo hoo)” Just cut it out FERGIE!

(2) Cabbage: the leaves represent paper currency and it features the color of money. Anyone for a whopping big bowl of cole slaw?

CROSSCHIPS: CHIPS: Potato chips are delicious, you call them chips, you use chips at a casino to gamble, chips at a casino are worth cash, BOOM CURRENCY.

(3) Grapes: Many Cubans believe that eating a dozen grapes as the clock strikes midnight and the New Year is ushered in brings prosperity in the months ahead.

CROSSCHIPS: BOOZE: Grapes are made into Wine, wine is booze, therefore drink any booze you like.

(4) Lentils: Take a tip from the Italians and serve pork sausage cooked over a bed of lentils in a dish called "Cotechino" - the fat from the pork represents richness yet to come and the beans symbolize the plenty ahead.

CROSSCHIPS: PORK & BEANS: That’s what I read in what it says above. Pork = richness, beans equal constant flow of cash money. Doooooooin’ it!

(5) Noodles: The longer the better, according to many Buddhists, as long noodles represent longevity and overall prosperity.

CROSSCHIPS: SPAGHETTI: First of all. “The longer the better” ^^^ That’s what she said! Heyyyyooo! But yes, eat some spaghetti for MICH!

(6) Apple rings: actually, any foods in the shape of a ring (bell pepper rings, onion rings) are considered good luck because they symbolize coming full circle.

CROSSCHIPS: ONION RINGS / Donuts . Simple enough.

(7) Greens: any vegetable in the "greens" category including kale and spinach are considered lucky foods because both their color and leaf shape represents paper currency.

CROSSCHIPS: Mountain Dew: I couldn’t think of any Crosschips approved food that is green. If you have any ideas, please email me! But this can be mixed with vodka, which is encouraged.

Do it up CROSSCHIPPERS! ENJOY AND GO BLUE!!!!!!!!

Keep that Crosschips meal safe babby!

2009-11-12T20:56:00.003-05:00

Whenever Crosschipping outdoors, please use the following.

Don’t worry about protecting yourself from infectious bug bites, keep your food bug free with the net food protector thingy. Available on Crosschips! (May not be sold at Crosschips)

Checking our Crosschips Progress

2009-11-04T23:33:00.001-05:00

We started this e-blog back in April and decided it would be best to keep track a couple of members progress throughout their Crosschipping journey. The two subjects we picked were our biggest (Fat Ass) and smallest (Lil Crosschipper) members. Notice the chart below as we tracked their weight gain at the start of each month.

As you can see, the first few months of Crosschipping always start with a slow weight gaining process. This start to a new diet and the warm summer months only makes the average weight increase around 45 lbs. Now, notice the spike towards the end of August and into September. This is due to Crosschips being combined with football season, one of the laziest seasons known to all mankind.

I would just like to congratulate these two members as well as the rest of you all for believing in CROSSCHIPS!!!

Happy Meat Hand Halloween

Thanks MadMax for this beaut.

Babby on a Bacon Unicorn!

Bacon?……………….BACON!

2009-10-27T21:14:00.001-04:00

Here is what I suggest you drink your morning coffee in, then eat after.

Be sure to put the milk back in the fridge after. (DO IT WITH REAL BACON)

Then, get ready for work in your bacon suit.

Admire some art on your way out the door…

And be sure not to hit your Bac-o-lantern on the way to your car!

Crap, forgot the bacon briefcase.

And wallet!

Thanks to MadMax & This website for this find.

HA! This guy makes some sweet films and this one has multiple food items so it works here at Crosschips. Enjoy!

Booooooooooo play better teams better!

2009-10-25T11:44:00.001-04:00

FACT: You play a terrible team one week, 3 out of 4 times you will lose the next game you play. Why so? Ever heard of the 2008 LOLions? Yeah, of course you have. They hold the best losing record in the NFL. 0-16. Can’t beat it. EVER. Anyways. 10 of the teams that beat them last year, lost their next game. Why do I care? I don’t really, but I thought it was interesting considering MICH smokes Delaware State, a piss poor team (Like the LIONS) and got kilt by Penn State in their next game. Want proof? EAT THIS SHIT.

So it’s pretty simple to figure it out above. The Falcons beat the Lions on 9/7 then lost to Tampa Bay the next week and so on and so forth. This is a scientific fact. Just try and disprove it. TRY IT! I’m glad the Lions don’t play today. That’s all I got.

MIIIIIIIIIIIICH vs. Penn State!

2009-10-23T22:53:00.004-04:00

Location:	MICH stadium
Time:	3:30 PM
Line:	Penn St. -4.5 (O/U 48)
Beers O/U:	12.5
CAW?	CAW!

So this Saturday, MICH plays Penn State. A game that we have been looking forward to since back to back losses to Big Ten opponents, M$U and Iow-CAW! Penn State is favored by 4.5 and my beer consumption over/under is 12.5 which is normal for a 3 :30 kick.

The weather tomorrow is supposed to be cold and rainy, so this may be punt fest 2009 but hopefully not. Penn State has been over-rated since Joe-Pa started wearing adult diapers and they have played some seriously weak competition. Their only loss came at home by 10 points to IOWA who MICH almost beat IN Iowa.

MIIIIIICH on the other hand has their starting center (Molk, who is a sophomore, right?) back as well as a healthy Tate Jonathan Forcier, Brandon Jonathan Minor and Carlos Jonathan Brown. Look for MICH to focus on the running game and put the Knitting LOLions away in a tight grudge match.

MICH 27 – Penn State 23

HE MADE IT BEFORE KICKOFF!!!!!!!!

Ribs

2009-10-23T22:47:00.002-04:00

This is 2 lbs of ribs that marinated in Sweet Babby Rays BBQ sauce overnight. For a Crosschipper, 2 = NOT GOOD ENOUGH. So, on the side I had 6 beers and a bag of kettle cooked CHIPS! It was a delectable meal to say the least. I suggest you give it a try.

What I learned is saving the marinade to use during the grilling period. For every flip, the meat takes a dip. Simple as that. Also boil up the ribs for about 5 minutes before putting them in the marinade, but you all knew that.

Saturdays Crosschips: Have yourself a big full plate of RIBS!

Ike’s BABBY!

2009-10-22T20:24:00.001-04:00

Just got back from Ike’s, a gorgeous Lebanese restaurant in Sterling Heights, MI. This place is packed full of all sorts of food. They have 22 fucking freshly squeezed juices! One is called the “Anti-Virus”, yeah! Which is a combination of Apple & Orange! WOOO!

So, what I got for dinner tonight was the Chicken Shawarma. It doesn’t just come with the Shawarma my friends. It starts off like this. (Dinner Menu)

BREAD, shit tons of bread and you must get the Hummus with it in order to RULE!

Soup? Yeah you get some soup. I had beef barley and it was bad ass.

Salad, all sorts to choose from and Lebanese salad is some of the best. Go with the Fattoush Salad. The Tabbouleh is good but a little different.

MAIN COURSE BITCH! Shawarma! Chicken, Hummus, Rice, Garlic Dip and veggies.

Don’t forget your BREW DOGGS!!!

Anyway. Make yourself some Shawarma’s for today’s Crosschips. Use at least 5 full Pita’s! YOU KNOW IT!

Man Vs. Food = Munchies 4:20 Cafe

2009-10-14T22:24:00.001-04:00

Saw me a little bit of Man vs. Food tonight where he went to a place called Munchies 4:20 Café, in Sarasota, FL. This place is open 4:20pm to 4:20am. I wonder who their target market is?

Anyways, it is recognized for its stuffed "fat sandwiches" including the "Fat Sandy" (which consists of hamburgers topped with cheese, chicken fingers, Mozzarella sticks, onion rings, French fries, and macaroni and cheese) and their biggest sandwich, the "Super Fat Daddy" (which has 6 burgers topped with cheese, French fries, Mozzarella sticks, Philly steak, mushrooms, onions and peppers, all smothered in a Cheddar cheese sauce).

The main concept with this restaurant is to take bar food and add all sorts of cut up friend shit to it. Like burgers? Add some cut up chicken tenders, french fries and mac & cheese! How about a hot dog? Throw cut onion rings on it with 13 slices of cheese and a pound of chili! Fish sandwich? Use 5 fillets, fried potato skins a cup of tartar sauce and add mozzarella sticks!

So what do we have to say about this innovated way of eating? HELL YES!!! This place is 100% Crosschips approved! Also, the show Man vs. Food is approved as well!

Crosschips for the day: Make one of the FAT SANDWICHES from Munchies and eat it for your best time. They can be found on the website linked above.

CrosschipsBT: “In my e-pinion, sandwiches not only FAT and GOODT but also make me feel GOODT and also FAT.”

MIIIIIIIIIICH!!!!

2009-10-12T19:59:00.001-04:00

MICH is now 4 – 2 after losing at M$U and Iowa the past 2 weekends and the season is halfway over. Both games were thrilling, down to the wire, grit packed performances where they ended up losing by a combined 8 points (one game in OT). Winning both games would have been great, splitting the two would have been fantastic, but to bring both games down to the wire is worth more than 2 dull wins or losses under a tremendous coach by the name of Lloyd Jonathan Carr.

Finishing with a 8-4 record is very possible and it would be a great turn around for this program. Any more than 7 wins would be far beyond my expectations for this year. This team is competitive, passionate and a fun as hell to watch and I’m excited to see them dominate the next six Saturdays.

This team get’s me so pumped up in fact that I am beginning to see Crosschips during the games! check it out:

GO BLUE!!!

In honor of Ed.

2009-10-08T20:35:00.002-04:00

This is for Ed, of Ed Debevic’s in Chicago (I think), who wrote in a question regarding my inability to post a new Crosschips more often then not. For Ed, we will take a few of his many menu items and enjoy them for our Crosschips meal.

A few of my favorites: MENU HERE:

Kitchen Sink Nachos - (I actually enjoyed this one back in circa 2003. It was about 5 lbs of Nacho CHIIIIIIPS!)

BBQ Ribs – half slab of BBQ ribs, you may want to double up on this one. 1 = NOT GOOD ENOUGH.

Route 66 Burger – Jack cheese, bacon & GUAC served on sourdough bread. Ask for or add triple bacon.

Drink: Double Chocolate Malt - “Double the Chocolate!” – HELL YEAH.

Pick 1 app, 2 main courses and a drink for your CROSSCHIPS. It is a must to have French Fries with this Crosschips, if you don’t you FAIL!

CrosschipsBT: “I enjoy the foot long hot dog. LOTS OF MEAT.”

Also: Be sure to jump up on the table and insult everyone around you. K thanks, bye.

Mailbag: I don’t know what to eat anymore. Where have you been?

2009-10-08T20:13:00.002-04:00

Hi,

I enjoy your e-blog very much, but you haven not posted much lately. I have been through all your old post and ran out of Crosschips options. I don’t know what to eat anymore. Where have you been? Did you die?

- Ed Debevic

-------------------------------------------

Hello Ed,

Excellent question and NO I did not die. I’m a professional Crosschipper buddy, get that straight. I may have the most unhealthy diet known to man but I do have an excellent team of doctors and other trained Crosschippers at my side to get me through the day. Also, aren’t you a restaurant, Ed Debevic? Let me help you out for the day with a new CROSSCHIPS! (posted above).

Crucial Sports Weekend

Two of Crosschips favorite sporting squadrons have some crucial games ahead of them this weekend. The Detroit Tigers are a couple of wins away from getting back to the playoffs and the Michigan Wolverines are in East Lansing to take on their rival, M$U. If the Tigers get the job done as well as MICH, I will need to change my jorts but let’s not get hasty.

Michigan is 4-0 right now, something that no rational MICH fan really expected. M$U was predicted to finish in the top 3 of the Big Ten this year and are currently 1-3. The fact that the tables have turned back to what we are all used to so quickly is a “W” in itself. A Michigan win this weekend would be icing on the cake and a loss, as much as it would suck, isn’t that big of a deal. It’s Michigan’s 1^st road game, their starting QB is probably still injured and the Defense is very unstable.

Is a win possible for MICH? Hell yeah it is. MICH has won 30 of the last 40 games against M$U and haven’t lost 2 straight since 1967. MICH is only a 3.5 point dog in this and there is a 60% chance of rain tomorrow afternoon. Why is rain good? Because M$U is a passing team, averaging 320 ypg. If it’s raining, they are limited in their pass attack and will have to rely on their rushing game which averages only 117 ypg. If it does rain, MICH averages 243 ypg on the ground already so expect that to give them a strong advantage.

Now, because both teams have terrible defense, giving up over 350 yards of offense each, you would expect this to be a barn burner, but the weather will keep the score Under the predicted 56 point total. The fact that Michigan is a far more explosive running team will give them the edge.

MICH 35 – M$U 17

BET$ FOR THE WEEKEND:

Central MICH -8 @ Buffalo: CHIPS -8

MICH +3.5 @ M$U: MICH +3.5

Nortwestern @ Purdue: OVER 57

Penn State -7 @ Illinois: Penn State -7

Wyoming @ FL Atl -3.5: FL Atlantic -3.5

The Detroit Tigers are 2 wins up on the Minnesota Twins. A Tigers win and a twins lost tonight would seal the deal for them to play the YANKS in the 1st round of the ALDS. LET’S GET IT DONE TIGERS!!!!!! DOOOOOOOIN’ IT!!!

CROSSCHIPS FOR THE DAY: Eat 1 food item for every score that Any Team puts up that you happen to be watching this Saturday. 1 TD = 1 burger, 1 field goal = a bowl of cereal. A GRAND SLAM by Miggy = 4 Beers (4 runs) etc…

BOATS!

2009-09-29T20:44:00.001-04:00

YES!!!!!!!

NO!

YES!!!

NO!!!

YES!!!

NOOO!!!!!

YESSSS!!!

NOOOOOO!

So, here is the deal. For today's Crosschips build yourself a boat of food!!! Eat it for your best time. This Nautical entree must be a minimum of 3 pounds of food product. Good luck and good boating!!!!!!!

CrosschipsBT: “I prefer STERN of boat because ME LOVES ASS.”

Never Underestimate The Power of The CHEESE POOF!

2009-09-27T04:32:00.001-04:00

Holy Chips! MICH almost lost to Indiana at home. The spread was 21 by kick off and they pulled off a nice win to send me into a 3am rant about CROSSCHIPS! Is this a good thing? CrosschipsBT doesn’t approve. “Crosschips best early, BADT LATE.” So, as we always disregard everything he says, we must proceed with some SUNDAY FUNDAY CROSSCHIPS!!!

Alright kids, here it is. I know most of us have fantasy football teams, if you don’t you know someone who does. It’s a point game. If your fantasy team (or someone you know) puts up X amount of points you drink that many swigs of brewdoggs, or whatever it may be you drink on Sundays. It’s time to burn some cals so I suggest you go with a delicious Miller Lite, as I will. LETS GO LIONS!!!!!! OW!!!

Let the Big Ten (11) begin

2009-09-25T23:10:00.002-04:00

MICH is hosting the Indiana Hoosiers this weekend for the start of their B10 conference matchups. What a better way to celebrate by having 11 tailgating essentials related to all 11 Big Ten teams!

Illinois: ICE --- The fighting Illini bring literally nothing to the conference this year. I’m not even sure they won a game yet. For that, they can be ICE. It keeps your beverage cold and when you run out of napkins, you clean the shit off your hands with it.

Indiana: Cheese Puffs: --- Sure their 3-0 rolling into A2 this weekend, but when the pressure is on, they crack and crumble into a worthless powder. Regardless of that, we still enjoy them even though they give you orange finger tips. How does that relate? Don’t ask.

Iowa: CORN: --- Grilled corn is always good. It’s cheap and easy to execute. Iowa, as we all know, is in the middle of a giant corn field. They sell Cola and Corn Cob Combos at Kinnick Stadium, so why not load up on their cheap produce and butter it up for some Crosschips.

Michigan: The Grill: --- It may have been low on propane last year, but in 2009 we loaded up at the Home Depot down south. It takes any Crosschips product or opponent and cooks the shit out of them with burning speed. The #1 essential item to a quality Crosschips tailgate.

Michigan State: CHIPS: --- Everyone likes chips and we all sure as hell like that M$U lost to the CHIPS (Central MICH) this year. We all stand around the tailgate, saying CHIPS and LOL’ing at their expense. Oh poor Sparty. HA.

Minnesota: Donuts: --- Our fat gophers to the north have long winters and to keep warm they pack on the pounds with these delectable breakfast treats. Let’s join them as we crack a beer at 7am.

Northwestern: Designated Driver: --- These Wildcats are smart. So smart in fact that it’s a good idea to befriend a few to tailgate with. They will not drink and then drive you home in your drunken state. The key is to pound a few earlier so they are obligated to be the DD. Love those smart kids.

Ohio State: BEER: --- As much as we hate these $UCKEYE$, they sure as hell can drink beer. For the past few years, they have been the guy no body can out-drink in the conference. Beer is obviously key to the tailgate and you better bring a lot of them to drown out your sorrows of the always possible loss to some cupcake of a program.

Penn State: Burgers & Dogs: --- Always good, but sometimes one may be a little under or over cooked, leaving a bad taste in your mouth. It’s always best when you cook them at home, because MICH has won the last 5 games at home since 1997.

Purdue: Whisky: --- Nothing starts off a tailgate like a good Boilermaker and Purdue has been known to “BOILER UP!” as the Boilermakers. When Purdue comes to town, it’s always a good time. MICH hasn’t lost to Purdon’t at home since 1965.

Wisconsin: Cheese & Crackers: --- We all know the state of Wisconsin is making cheese hand over fist, no idea what that means, but they have shit tons of cheese up there. Cheese may be “elegant” or “fancy” as some MICH tailgating jokes go, but you can’t go wrong with this finger food. Just don’t eat it while you drink a glass of White Zin, we arn’t at a Stanford tailgate Crosschippers.

So enjoy your Saturday Crosschippers!!!!!!!!!! LET’S GO BLUE!!!

don’t forget to post-tailgate!!!!

Crosschips computer down!

2009-09-22T22:13:00.003-04:00

I apologize for the delay on Crosschips. Our main computer is having some mechanical difficulties this week. Copy and paste is no longer an option with a broken mouse button. These fucking Dell computers I tell ya. Anyway, should have it fixed by tomorrow afternoon and will most likely get a post up tomorrow or the middle of next week.

Even though it may be like the stone age over here, we are still Crosschipping like sons a bitches and we hope you are too. For now, goodnight and good Crosschips.

S’mores!!!!!!!!!!

2009-09-15T20:03:00.001-04:00

It’s mid September and Fall is upon us. The leaves are changing colors, the temperature is falling and people are warming their hands up next to a bright crackling camp fire (or in East Lansing, a burning couch because of their recent loss to the CHIPS!).

Nothing beats a camp fire in the fall to keep you warm while staying warm in the outside elements with family and friends. But it’s never a real campfire with out making the beloved S’more. (Also peeing on the fire to put it out, but that happens later.)

A fellow e-friend sent me this link to a page of 17 EXTREME S’mores. Most of which I would eat, no question, Jim. So I will put up some pictures of my favorites, the ones I plan on Crosschipping this evening.

Crosschips for the day: Minimum of 10 S’mores for your best time.

6 LAYERS

WITH CHIPS!

BAAAAAAAACON!!!!!!!

Strawberry!

Peanut butter COOKIE S’MOOOOOOORE

S'MOREGASBORD!

Have fun!

MIIIIIIICH WINS!!!

2009-09-13T20:15:00.001-04:00

This video is the last drive by MICH in a unbelievable comeback win over #18 Notre Dame. Final Score, 38-34. Tate Jonathan Forcier could not be stopped by these golden domer$. This kid sweats pure grit and can really make some plays. Gotta give him some credit. Yeeeeeeah MICH!

You will notice in spots, Notre Dame’s coach, Charlie Weis. Who am I kidding, it’s impossible to miss the guy. He is 800+ lbs. of fat stuffed in betwixt more skin rolls of pure buttery fat. It’s hard for me to fathom how a person of his proportion can be taken seriously as a coach of anything other than bowling or maybe front-butt competitions. He may be a Crosschipper, but he puts us to shame and I will explain.

There’s a line drawn between indulging and over indulging. Though this line may be very gray here at Crosschips, but we do know when to say enough is enough. Charles Weis on the other hand is a Crosschipsaholic. That’s right, it’s a real word. Here at Crosschips it is at least. There’s a difference between liking to go out and crush some brewdoggers and consistently crushing brewdoggers. At some point we all reach a threshold where we can say “good enough.” Charlie Weis does not stop there and never will, he looks down at his 6th plate that he just licked clean and thinks “Not good enough”, over and over and over again.

Now I know what you are thinking; “They are only knocking Charlie Weis’ extreme fatness because he is the coach of Notre Dame, a MICHigan rival.” Yes, this is true. But has any of our Crosschips ordered you to eat more often then breathing? NO.

FACT: Charlie Weis eats more than he breaths. (His headphones are connected to a food processor that continually pumps him a gravy mixture of Steak, Big Macs, French Fries, Dr. Pibb and Mint Chocolate Chip ice cream. See below:

FACT: Charle Weis has his own buffet set up in every locker room he goes to. This is the one at Notre Dame. See below:

FACT: During team meetings before the games, “coach” Weis does not answer any actual questions. He only asks for more refills and thinks about food out loud while eating. Here is a transcript taken from the team meeting before the Michigan game this Saturday.

Sergio Brown, S: “Coach, Sergio Brown here, should we be worried about any deep passes coming from Tate Forcier?”

Charlie Weis: “Yes, more brown sugar please. That would be good for these waffles.”

Mike Golic Jr., C: “Coach, should Jimmah and I get some practice reps in before the game?”

CW: “Who is that? Golic? Didn’t your dad join up with Nutrisystems or something? Tell him he’s a pussy.”

Jimmah Clausen, QB: “Here’s 6 more plates of Bacon, coach.”

CW: “That’s why you are starting. You should all learn a lesson from this smart young lady.”

Golden Tate, WR: “Hey coach, can you explain to me again on what coverage we are going to pass the ball deep.”

CW: “How about you go deep and get Charlie some of those biscuits.”

Shaquelle Evans, WR: “Coach, can I get some playing time today? I’m ready to catch a lot of passes!”

CW: “You know something. Hold on (Takes a pancake, wraps it around six pieces of sausage pours syrup and honey on it and eats it in two bites). I once out ate Shaquelle O’neal in that show of his, “Shaq Vs.” or whatever. The directors said they wouldn’t air it because I Finished my portion in 4 minutes. Not enough film to fill the hour I guess. What was your question little Shaq?”

FACT: Charlie Weis sleeps with an I.V. of chocolate milkshake. This is to not only keep his fat fat, but cool his body temperature so his heart doesn’t explode.

-----------------

So, with that being said, Crosschips frowns upon this mountain of a man because he abuses his Crosschipping ability like a crack addict on his birthday.

Crosschips is meant to be fun and challenging for all who wish to partake, it isn’t supposed to separate you from others and turn into the ONLY thing in your life.

CrosschipsBT: “For all the Crosschips out there; continue to Crosschips HARD but also SMART. e-fact.”

Charlie Weis

2009-09-10T23:42:00.002-04:00

Hey, Charlie, go fuck yourself.

You're lucky Windows deleted my post in the making. ya bitch.

Crosschips for the day: Eat as much as Charlie Weis and try not to die.

PEACE.

Red Lobster Shrimp Fest

2009-09-08T18:23:00.003-04:00

Red Lobster is doing their "Shrimp Fest 2009" right now and it's a must for Crosschippers. You pay $15.99 for all you can eat shrimp, cooked almost anyway. I went this Sunday with a few friends and partook in every shrimp style on the menu.

Because this was following the first MIIIIIIIIICH game of the year, I was a little bit hungover so I didn't give it my best performance, but I will be back soon and I will have my Shrimp belly strapped on, believe you me. This time I got up to 76 Shrimp. I could have probably cracked 100 if the chef or waitress didn't decide to give me a side of hair with my order of Coconut Shrimp. Don't let that keep you from hitting up the Red Lobster for some grub though.

CROSSCHIPS: Do up the Shrimp Fest and break a hundo (hundred).

CROSSCHIPS TAILGATE

2009-09-03T21:00:00.005-04:00

Wow, 2nd picture on google images under "Tailgate".

Anyway, it's football season again and I couldn't be more excited to get over to Ann Arbor this Saturday and watch some MIIIIICH football!

Western Michigan +13 (56) @ MICHIGAN

This weekend Michigan is bringing in the MAC powerhouse?, Western Michigan for a 3:30 kick off. The Western Michigan Broncos are a +13 point dog in this game and are lead behind the likes of the possible future MAC QB of the year, Timothy Jonathan Hiller. This could spell trouble for the Michigan secondary who is now coached by the most gorgeous hair in College football, Gerg Robinson. I swear I've never seen this guy wear a hat and he damn well better not. Ever.

On the flip side, MICH finally has some compitant QB's, yes, QB's. They are starting only 3 on Saturday. But the young ginger Tate Jonathan Forcier has been given the nod to take the first snap. This kid, unlike Nicholas Jonathan Sheridan has some quickness and knows how to throw the ball TO A RECIEVER. The 3rd QB, who got to MICH this summer is the fastest kid that's ever lived. Denard "Nard Dogg" Jonathan Robinson. This kid can run like the wind with his shoes untied. E-FACT. He also has a decent passing ability, probably better than Sheridan but I'm sure most people are. MICH also has some dominating veteran running backs, Carlos Brown will probably start over Brandon Minor who has a boo boo on his ankle or something. But these two are fast and powerful and will most likely be getting the majority of the workload due to 2 freshman QB's and Nick Sheridan.

I can see this one going well in Michigan's favor. It's the first game of the year, WMU will be feeling the intimidation of the Big House and Michigan has much more talent overall. I can see MICH winning, but not covering the spread as their defense will be tested all day. BOOM MICH'D: 35 - 24

Now, the matter at hand, Crosschips Tailgating: We all tailgate like true Amuricans! Tons of beer, BBQ and plenty of CHIPS! and DIP!

There are some given rules when it comes to Crosschips tailgating.
1. Always drink 10% of your weight in units of beers. 150 lbs, drink 15 and so forth.
2. 1 full plate full of BBQ good, NOT GOOD ENOUGH. Eat 1 full plate for ever hour you are there before kickoff.
3. Every 1st, 5th, 10th, 15th, 20th, etc.. beer must either be shotgunned or bonged. No QUESTION.
4. Park near a bathroom.

Now, this weekend we will be having the following at our tailgate (4-8 people):
-200 beers minimum
-75 hot dogs
-"The Bacon Explosion"
-8 bags of CHIPS
-8 things of DIP
-Hand Sanitizer (crucial for portajonathans)
-Toilet Paper

GO MICH!!!

Crosschips recruiting

2009-09-02T20:33:00.004-04:00

So, this link was brought to my attention through an e-friend on the WLA. It’s a rather clever way to get free Crosschips workouts by recruiting a fake long distance relationship. I know this may seem like a low thing to do, but if the other party involved is willing and has decent baking skills, we say, “WHY NOT!?”

LINK HERE:LINK
Story:

Me: Charming, articulate and intelligent.
You: A good baker, likes to take care of her man with frequent care packages.

I am the only guy on craigslist who is not looking for sex or female companionship. Those I can get. There is however one thing missing in my life of late. Ever since breaking up with my long distance girlfriend, the amount of unsolicited baked goods arriving in my mailbox has dropped precipitously. Given my relative lack of baking skills and my propensity to avoid paying for food, I figured the most rational solution was to find another long distance girlfriend who enjoys surprising her man with frequent care packages (chocolate chip cookies and rice krispies treats are by far the best).

The exchange is simple. You provide regular care package service and in return I provide emotional support, validation and the occasional, "You're right! They *are* just jealous!" I'll be the boyfriend that Disney's soulless corporate machine has convinced you you want. Your parents will be happy you finally found someone, your friends and coworkers will be jealous that you have a guy who doesn't routinely try to slip it in the "oops hole," and your stalkers (should you have any) will shake their fists in impotent rage. As long as you're not hung up on tangibility, it's a relationship with everything you could want or need.

Fatties, uggos and the horribly disfigured are encouraged to apply! I don't care what you look like because I'll never see what you look like. Tell me you're the most beautiful woman in the world if it makes you feel better, just don't send pictures.

Exclusivity is not part of the deal. I intend to date other women during our association and it would be hypocritical of me to deny you the same freedom. Go out clubbing every Saturday night and sleep with a different guy each time if you like, just remember to get the cookies in the mail by 5:00 because the post office isn't open on Sundays. I have no allergies, so feel free to extend your experimentation to recipes and ingredients as well.

I live in Los Angeles but am posting this in Dallas because it's close enough to keep shipping charges down but far enough away that you'll never be tempted to track me down in real life. Also, going by the maxim "everything is bigger in Texas" I'm hoping there will be enough baked goods to share with friends.

Good luck and I hope to hear from you lovely ladies soon!

GAME PLAN:
This plan may not work out so well for the lady Crosschippers, but there are options here. E-FACT: Girls have an uncanny ability to persuade other girls or guys into doing things. I’m sure they could come up with some good tactics, but what I was thinking is they could do the following things.
1. Pretend you are a dood looking for a girl to send him baked goods. Easy.
2. Tell this e-girlfriend you can’t talk on the phone, due to economical hardships you have no phone. It’s believable. If they really want to talk to you have a guy friend call every once in a while and split the profits.
3. Send this e-girlfriend emails telling them all the things they want to hear, you know what those things are, you have the upper hand on us doods, E-FACT.
4. Promise to send them things back and DO. Not that often, if they beg, just send them some Meijer cookies re wrapped in a box or something.
OR,
5. Find a ghey dood to bake you shit. Search San Francisco craigslist for this one. LINK: SAN FRAN

Crosschips for the DAY!
Bake yourself any full amount of cookies, brownies, cake, pie whatever, eat it all for your best time! GO!

COLLEGE FOOTBALL IS COMING BACK

2009-08-30T18:40:00.004-04:00

Look out Crosschippers, college football is returning this week and we couldn't be more excited! Tailgating has always been a beloved pastime of our Crosschips brigade because it tests you abilities in an outside element, which is then followed up by a cool down period spent at a college football game.

Crosschips tailgating includes the eating of several finger foods and snacks with the enjoyment of multiple libations. 75% of the time the tailgate includes some sort of grilling; burgers, hotdogs, chicken, whole pig roasts and even giant vats of chili.
A crucial factor to a Crosschips tailgate is to bring a minimum of 5 servings of food per person and 12-15 servings in drinks.

The founder/CEO of Crosschips happens to do his tailgating at Michigan games and will be presenting to you photos, video and Crosschips game plans based around the University of MICH! Football games.

Only a few more days people!!!!!!!!!!

Crosschips NYC Hot Dog Stands

2009-08-26T20:30:00.002-04:00

HOLY CHIPS! You head into tourist nation of NYC and you can find a hot dog stand at almost every single corner! The best part is, they are all around $1.00!!! Now, this makes for a certian type of Crosschips that we don't really care for that much, one that involves activities such as walking, standing and leaving the cozy confines of your favorite couch of recliner, but in New York, you don't have many options other than walking.

So, what my cousin and I did was walk to every hot dog stand we saw, ordered a hot dog and continued onto the next one. We would stop in between stands, have a beer at a local bar and keep on trucking. The goal was to reach a high number of hot dog intake until we literally had to find a toilet for the dirty deuce. I made it to 14 hot dogs in what seemed to be a 4 mile walk. Not bad if you ask me.

I know that hot dogs seem to be one of the Crosschips staples, but it is one of the cheapest & easiest items to make and eat for your exercise. So here we go.
TODAYS CROSSCHIPS!!!!
Dogs & Beers; Eat a dog, have a beer, eat a dog, have a beer and continue until you can no longer chew or drink. Should be good for a Friday.

Crosschips NYC Pizza & Burgers?

2009-08-24T20:57:00.002-04:00

I found this excellent place on 2nd Ave near 6th I believe. They have an offering of Pizza w/ 1 topping for $5, which is probably the cheapest place to buy Pizza in NYC, ever. But also, opening soon, is a "mini-Burger" shop! Are you kidding me? I've already scheduled a 2nd trip to New York so I can Crosschips accordingly at this location.

So, because I couldn't eat 2, $5 pizzas and scarf down a dozen mini-burgers during this visit, I knocked out 4 pizzas as my Crosschips meal. They aren't your typical "Hot n' Ready" which is a 14" large, it's only about 10" but it's still quite delectable. This location also has tons of toppings, things I've never seen before such as: Eggplant, shrimp, buffalo chicken and broccoli. You can check out their menu here.. I'm not sure why their website doesn't have this location listed yet, maybe it's brand new.

CROSSCHIPS FOR THE DAY!: Eat lots and lots of Pizza. If you go "Hot & Ready" through Little Ceasers, get 2 - 3 pizza's. Make sure you literally break the zipper on your pants before you finish. Good LUCK!

CrosschipsBT: "I wear STRETCHY pants and evoid PANTS BURST"

Crosschips NYC ESPN ZONE

2009-08-20T22:37:00.004-04:00

So after walking around for 4 hours, we got to Time Square which was full of people. Probably should have waited till night time to check it out for the full effect, I'll do it next time. Anyway, after 4 hours of walking you tend to get tired and hungry and in need of serious libations. We decided to head into the ESPN Zone for some brewdoggers, Crosschips & the air conditioning.

This is a panorama of the bar above, it came out kind of dark but whatever. They had on the LOLions game there, which they ended up winning to continue their 5 straight preseason game winning streak.

The ESPN Zone is of course pricey, but you had to choose wisely in order to get the best Crosschips for your money. We went for the 23 Oz beers & Nachos. Each beer was $10.50, but it was Sam Adams Summer Ale & much better then a 12 oz PBR can for $5 (crap bar on Thursday). I have nothing against PBR, I drink it when I can, but to pay $5 is a sin against all mankind, e-fact. The Nachos were $9.

Here is the Crosschips...(there were more chips in there but I took the picture late.)

We each had 3, 23 oz beers and a plate of Nachos each. DOMINATED IT. Good times.

FRIDAY CROSSCHIPS!!!
Drink over 69(lol)oz of beer and eat a whole bag of tortilla chips & one jar of nacho cheese for your best time. WOO FRIDAY!

Crosschips NYC Seafood

2009-08-20T06:39:00.006-04:00

This was on 7th Ave, just north of Time Square at a place called "Maison" (Panorama view above). My Crosschipping cousin insisted that I try out Oysters so I agreed to if he paid ($2.95 per Oyster!?!?) I also enjoyed a Brooklyn Lager which was excellent.

The 1st Oyster was terrible, but after that they were pretty decent. If you aren't a fan, I suggest crab cakes, jumbo shrimp or crab legs as a quick Seafood Crosschips.

Crosschips for the day: Finger Foods, eat 15% of your weights worth.
100 lbs = 15 cheese sticks
150 lbs = 22.5 pieces of shrimp
200 lbs = 30 chicken fingers
etc...

You can of course mix and match, just reach your target!

Crosschips NYC Corner Store

2009-08-18T22:42:00.004-04:00

Check this out, because NYC is jam packed full of anything and everything, they have to forgo the common "candy & gum racks" and take everything out of the boxes and pack them together like sardines. I found it to be pretty interesting and very tempting to the everyday Crosschipper. On Friday afternoon I took 3 linear feet of this area and ate it up as my Crosschips.

I suggest you do the same when you visit NYC.

CrosschipsBT: "Linear feet need comfy SHOES or SOCKS. Just e-pinion."

Crosschips NYC Dinner (4th meal)

2009-08-18T16:10:00.002-04:00

Notice my excellent camera skills here as I accidentally took a video instead of a picture. Still kind of cool though. This is the Hollywood Diner, it is open 24 hours for your Crosschipping needs. Not sure where it is exactly as we just stumbled upon it during the drunken walk back from a concert in Brooklyn. You get a massive burger, tons of fries, coleslaw & like 8 pickles for $9. Not a bad meal for Crosschips!

Crosschips NYC Breakfast

2009-08-17T22:04:00.003-04:00

Check it out. I went to this excellent breakfast location called 7A (At 7th and A ave. in East Village) You got the below breakfast for $5.49. It was probably one of the cheapest meals I had all weekend and it was delicious. I Crosschipped it up and bought seconds of course.

Notice the bad ass Crosschips tee shirt I'm wearing. You can pick yours up at the Crosschips e-store.

Mailbag Question: What can I do to make sure I gain the weight I need? (10 lbs)

2009-08-15T09:27:00.001-04:00

Dear Crosschips

I love your blog but I have one problem with it. I've been following your regimen like the bible since it started but I've only gained 5 pounds. Normally I wouldn't mind this but I need to get back to my high school football playing weight (in which I made 18 tackles in a game) by my high school reunion in 2 weeks to impress my old friends. (I currently need 10 added pounds to make that weight). So as you can see 5 pounds is NOT GOOD ENOUGH and UNACCEPTABLE. What can I do to make sure I gain the weight I need?

Hope you can help keep up the good work

Blueseoul

-----------------------------------------------

Thanks for the e-question Blueseou. Excellent question in our epinion.

With a quality management system any Crosschipper can eat the required Crosschips for the day and gain only a little bit of weight. This management system is known as "metabolism". To slow down this "metabolism" and put on the LB's needed to match your ex-hottie, now 40 lbs overweight ex-girlfriends you need to do the following.

1. Double up your Crosschips regime and follow through with it.

2. Don’t exercise and cut back your activity significantly. Try staying on the couch at all times. Watch lots of TV & Movies.

3. Avoid metabolic activating foods such as green tea or any other organic low calorie treat.

4. Eat foods with high calorie content. You can find plenty of them in this POST.

5. Eat before bedtime. Your body does it's least amount of fat burning while you sleep. That is why the 4th meal is crucial to all Crosschippers.

6. Over do the caffeine. Lot's of sugary soda's will get the job done, stay away from coffee because it has some healthy benefits that you don't need.

I hope this helps you out for your little event. Nice work on the 18 tackles in 1 game also, you must have been a 5* recruit with great pad level at one point in time. Or not, just epinion.

CrosschipsBT: "Gain 10 lbs good for PAD LEVEL but also GUT LEVEL."

Thanks for stopping by.

Japan-Chips?

Mailbag Question: How can I keep myself from having another heart attack?

2009-08-10T21:39:00.005-04:00

Hey,
I recently did your "I AM CROSSCHIPS" Crosschips and ended up having a heart attack. Thankfully I was near a hospital and pulled through. I was wondering if you had any tips to help me next time my heart feels like it's about to explode? I love your e-blog but I don't love the heart attack feeling. Or death.
-Gerg
-------------------------------------------------------
Thanks for your e-question.

I believe the post you are refering to is this one. It seems difficult at first glance, but if you know your body well enough, it can be done. I'm e-ssuming you used a difficult type of food, something filling, fattening and extremely greasy. This is strictly for professional crosschippers like myself, Charles Weis, John Daly, John Jonathan Madden, etc... We can get that workout done with 13 double bacon cheeseburgers if we wanted to.

Here are my suggestions to keep yourself from heart failure / death.
1. eat lighter foods. For example, instead of a Cheeseburger, have a fried chicken sandwich. Instead of a glazed jelly donut, have either a glazed or jelly donut, not the combo.
2. Drink plenty of fluids. Water is what the "health experts" recommend, but I say trade in that Budweiser for Bud Light. It's lighter on your aching heart, which is a big "W".
3. Add Garlic to everything. Garlic is known to make food delicious but also heart healthy. This will boost the strength of your heart when it has to pump chocolate clotted blood through your arteries. It's very crucial to an excellent Crosschips lifestyle.
4. Bayer Aspirin:

5. It’s completely against everything Crosschips is about (consumption) but when you feel like you are about to burst and your left arm is in serious pain (sign of a heart attack), you stick your finger down that throat of yours and let it all out and start over. Nothing like a clean slate (stomach) will kick start that heart back up any better.
I hope these suggestions will help you out. I would also suggest seeing a doctor, it's SCIENCE.

Tiger Woods is into Crosschips

2009-08-10T02:34:00.001-04:00

Check it out, Tiger Jonathan Woods is a Crosschips member. Here he is having one of his 18 sandwiches per round of golf. This happened to be just after he sunk a 23 foot eagle putt on hole #2 to put him at -9.

What I would like you all to do is either have 18 sandwiches in a 5 hour period, or try to put down 18 while out on the golf course. Either way, it's some quality Crosschipping if you ask me.

The Hamburger Fatty Melt

2009-08-09T11:01:00.001-04:00

Looks pretty good right? YOU KNOW IT!

Here is what you will need to make this for today's CrossCHIPS!
1/2 pound ground beef
4 slices of Texas Toast
10 Kraft Deli Deluxe American cheese slices
Butter
A juicy tomato (optional)
4 Bacon strips

Cook up 2 grilled cheese sandwiches w/ 5 slices of cheese in each one. Texas Toast is your bread. Grill the half pound of ground beef in burger patty form. put the burger between the 2 grilled cheeses and CROSSCHIPS away!

SLAP CHOP!

Crosschips your troubles away with the slap CHAP!

The Donut Burger

2009-08-03T22:49:00.003-04:00

A new burger is out there that is sweeping the Crosschips nation. It has elements of breakfast, lunch, dinner and dessert all in one. This my friends, is the Donut Burger.
As you will see below, there are many different ways to prepare said burger; some use 2 whole donuts or slice one in half to take place of the bun. Toppings include almost anything you could put on a burger, even a fried egg which is just delicious.

This one includes the fried egg & bacon strips.

Pickles, onions, tomatoes. Not my style but whateva.

Chocolate covered sprinkle donuts!

Easy, just a simple bacon & cheese donut burger.

Sugar donut burger. NICE!!!!

Fat Princess

2009-07-31T23:26:00.004-04:00

A new game is coming out for Playstation 3 or as the hipsters say PS3 that will have you changing your drawers in 3.54 seconds. It's called FAT PRINCESS. Let's breakdown how the game works: (via Wiki wiki)

In Fat Princess, the player joins one of two opposing teams consisting of up to 16 cartoon characters, each with the goal of rescuing their team's princess from the other team's castle (similar in many respects to capture the flag modes found in other multiplayer video games). In order to make their opponents' task more difficult, players can feed captive princesses more and more food so that she will become heavier and harder to carry back to her respective castle

You will see in video #2 HERE that they say it is similar to capture the flag, but instead of a flag, it's a fat f'ing princess. Ok I added the f'ing because this game is f'ing SWEEEEEEEEEET looking. Not only does it have blood and guts with up to 32 live players, it also has the spirit of Crosschips.
Now, there are a lot of games out there where in order to win you have to have athletic ability, kick ass ninja moves or a massive stockpile of weapons and ammo, things that Crosschippers are not motivated to take any part of in real life, ever. In this game, all you need is cake, a princess and minions to pump slices of cake down her throat at an uncomfortable pace to help your team to victory. Sound familiar? Yeah, it's a good days work here at Crosschips! (or a sick porno, what?)

Enjoy this trailer for a better look at the game:

It's the weekend and I don't normally issue Crosschips orders, but if you happen to be at an event that has cake, try to eat as many pieces as you can before someone questions what in the hell you are doing...should be fun.

CrosschipsBT: "does there make FAT PRINCE version for PLAYSTATION number ONE?"

Let's put that heart of yours to work!

2009-07-30T22:23:00.006-04:00

This little treat here called "The Bacon Explosion" is normally meant to be enjoyed by many at a tailgate party or something of that nature but here at Crosschips we indulge in what "healthy" people believe to be wrong because it makes our GUT FEELS SO RIGHT!!!

This link HERE can show you all the steps to cook up this bad boy and enjoy. Here is what you will need.

-2 pounds thick cut bacon
-2 pounds Italian sausage
-1 jar of your favorite barbeque sauce
-1 jar of your favorite barbeque rub
-12 toilet paper rolls
-1 plunger
-1 toilet

FOR YOUR CROSSCHIPS: MAKE THE BACON EXPLOSION and eat it with no help, every bite.
With a beautiful creation like this, I suggest you wash it down with multiple cold beverages. Minimum 12 beers. It's Friday, so we can do this!

CrosschipsBT: "bacon explosion not only LARGE LOG to eat but also PAINFUL LOG to deuce."

Spell it and eat it people. Simple as that.

1 exception. You are not allowed to use alphabets cereal.

Here are some examples...

that's 19 hot dogs, 8 croissants and a donut.

Or you could just match the letters w/ food items in quantity. (13 items)

ENJOY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mailbag Question: Why come so much cheap food?

2009-07-23T19:03:00.003-04:00

Hi! I enjoy your e-blog very much but I make lots of monies and enjoy things like crab & scallops or even some caviar. I also enjoy champagne and not beers. Will you have a Crosschips that features fine foods? Why come so much cheap food?

Thanks,
D'natashia

------------------------------------------------------
Thanks for the e-question.

At Crosschips we try to appeal to the every day eater. Only a small majority of Crosschippers can afford food items that COST THIS MUCH and if you feel the need to have some crab tails instead of chicken wings, you go right ahead and make that switch. The rest of us who work 60 hour weeks and make just enough income to get by will stick to our basic Crosschips regime and hope and pray we don't get laid off or fired due to this dump of an economy.

Crosschips Hoodie!

2009-07-18T13:27:00.005-04:00

Special Thanks to Maize4Blue of the WLA for the production of this kick ass hoodie for sale HERE. This gorgeous hoodie comes in Navy blue and sports the logo:"I AM CROSSCHIPS!" . Made with •10 oz. fleece blend (90% cotton/10% polyester). It can only be purchased in XXXL which should fit great for most of our Crosschippers, but could be a little tight on: Kristie Alley, Charles Weis or John Jonathan Daly, but I'm sure they can manage.

-"Zip hoodie allows the paramedics to get to your heart in case something should go wrong during crosschipping, and they won't ruin your sweet hoodie in the process." - Maize4Blue

Well said. Be on the look out for the "I AM CROSSCHIPS!" Shirt coming soon!

All You Can Eat Buffet

2009-07-16T19:06:00.006-04:00

Waking up 30 minutes before you need to get to work can put a hamper on your breakfast plans. This is what happened to me Thursday morning and I was determined to gain that missed meal back during lunch.
People ask; “How can you get enough sustenance to equal both breakfast & lunch during a 1 hour lunch break?” Well its simple my fellow Crosschippers, head to an establishment that has unlimited supplies of food to fill your gut, all at the same flat rate. THE BUFFET.

Here is a list of the following well known buffets:

*Any Chinese Buffet ever, they are everywhere.
*Big Boys Breakfast
*Mr. Pita (not all locations)
*Pizza Hut (Lunch Buffet)
*Ponderosa Steak House
*Old County Buffet

I myself headed to the Mongolian Buffet in Warren, MICH. (pictured above) You can stuff your face for $6.99 during lunch hours. I know it may seem expensive for lunch, but check out what I had my friends.

Now, a typical meal at say Quiznos with CHIPS and a drink will run you $8 with a regular sandwich so the Buffet is a great way to eat at least 2.5 meals for the price of 1.

Your Crosschips for the day (Friday): Hit up a Buffet for lunch or dinner, match my 2 full plates & dessert for your best time. (I knocked it out in 27 minutes. The drive there and back + paying the bill, took 33 minutes = 1 hour)

Tanker Truck Blowed UP!

2009-07-15T20:55:00.006-04:00

please enjoy the sound clips.

A tractor trailer full of diesel fuel blowed up at the 9 mile bridge on SB I-75. This is in Hazel Park, aka: Hazel-tuckey. If you are near this area headed south on I-75 you are totally F'd. I rode my bike over to the Lincoln/75 overpass to check it out.
News Tracker: I mean, News E-tracker
9:02: And now some dumbass on the news believes WE ARE BEING ATTACKED!!!

9:04: Oh, Channel 4 has a ton of people watching the massive fire also. They are located 10 feet from a Mobile gas station on the same street corner. How excellent.

9:11pm: Whoa, the guy who gives me speeding tickets (picture: State Police Guy) says 3 semis have crashed...

9:13: Holy shiznit. The overpass has crashed, the fire truck on the overpass has gone with it and has just now exploded. And the news reported isn't listening to her anchorman, Ron Burgundy is PISSED!

9:20: Beer me a Miller Lite. A Meijer produce truck may be involved. Prices are going up!

9:25: A lady named "Lyle Cifuentes" ???? who works for channel 7 called in to say she lives near the scene. Great news breaking stuff here.

9:33: I just realized I-75 will be closed now for quite a long time to fix this crap. FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFf.

9:42: Boring. Done. LAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATE!

P.S. DON'T FORGET TO EAT A BUNCH OF DELICIOUSNESS!

Battle of the Beasts

2009-07-13T21:22:00.003-04:00

Look at these two big boys. Charlie Weis & Mark Mangino are two of the fattest men alive to coach college football.

coachBT's take: "Coaches not only FOLLOW Crosschips, but do PAGE per day, not just ONE assignment."

Weighing in at over 2 tons, these two coaches specifically request that their schools place wooden boards on the sidelines to support their giant, fat packed, front butted frames.

Now, in order not to die of overeating, I suggest you follow the rules on this one because these 2 can eat enough food to shut down an OCB.

So, what you need to do is pick a coach and consume 10% of their normal eating schedule for the day.

Mangino:
Breakfast: 1 box of lucky charms, 6 eggs, sunny side up w/ 6 pieces of toast. 12 sausage links & a gallon of milk.
Lunch: 3 foot Italian sub, 1 bag of ruffles & 5 20oz cokes.
Dinner: 7 plates at Red Lobster all you can eat.

Weis:
Breakfast: Eat anything constantly from 8am to 11am
Lunch: Eat anything constantly from 11:30am to 3pm
Dinner: Eat anything constantly from 4pm to 8pm

9 & 9 in 9

2009-07-08T17:44:00.003-04:00

After a long and needed vacation Crosschips is BACK!!! I hope you all didn't succumb to the evil ways of exercise and diet as I was off not exercising or dieting up north. I trust you all did your duty to complete your own Crosschips tasks, I know I sure did.

Now to keep us all motivated in our Crosschips and to increase fan support for the Detroit Tigers, I bring to you the 9 & 9 in 9. That's 9 hot dogs & 9 beers, in 9 innings.

Unless you make serious bankroll, I suggest you do this exercise at home and not at the ball park. Notice the price difference below…

At Comerica	Qty		Total
Hot Dogs	9	$3.50	$31.50
23 oz Beers	9	$8.25	$74.25
		Grand Total:	$105.75

At Home	Qty		Total
Hot Dogs (8)	2	$3.99	$7.98
8 Hot Dog Buns	2	$1.29	$2.58
12pk of Beers	1	$10.19	$10.19
		Grand Total:	$20.75

		Savings:	$85.00

If you complete this one at home you even get some leftovers if you're still hungry after the game!!!

Now, if the game goes into extra innings, feel free to keep on working it but the minimum amount is only 9 innings. Either way, enjoy the Crosschips & the game!

CrosschipBT's take:
"This is test that include knowledge of not only PACE but also ENDURANCE. Be sure to do HIP SWIVEL & GUT ROTATION stretch before e-vent, in my e-pinion."

EEEEIIIIIIIAIAAAAAAARRRRRGGGGHHHHH!H!!!!!

2009-06-29T16:31:00.002-04:00

Please do not go to such strides in order to complete your Crosschips. This not only BAD way to complete CROSSCHIPS but also ILLEGAL. In my e-pinion, she needs to work more on PAD LEVEL and cut down on JAW ROTATION.

Todays Crosschips:
Buy and consume the $30 Frito Lay chip pack for your best time. I repeat, BUY THEM, no TRADES.

BOATS!!!!!!!!!

2009-06-27T22:50:00.004-04:00

Crosschips for the day. Eat breakfast sausages and use your shoes... Fill both shoes with breakfast sausages, don't be shy, fill um up and cook them sausages, eat them for your best time! GO!

she's a butte! FROM BUTTE! (Not really, it's the Mackinaw Bridge, but she is a Beaut...)

Up North UPDATE

2009-06-27T21:24:00.003-04:00

^^^took that one 2 years ago.

Crosschipped it Friday night, Crosschipped it again tonight with some fajitas, but I also crossfitted it. HAHA, kidding, I would never. However, I did wake up at 10am, had 6 donuts, went running and then drank beer on the beach all day. It was stellar.

BUT, unfortunately it started raining around 6pm, the Tigers played like they all were on their period and the future forecast for Mackinaw City is 4 days of rain.

So I know you are all wondering; "WTF do you do when you are on vacation and the weather keeps you from Crosschipping it?"

Well, you make due with what you have M F'ers. I've been watching some "Man vs. Wild" this eve and found out what we could make here at the cottage.

What you need to do is bring out your inner Crosschips creativity, make a meal out of what little you may have and rock it! Make sure it's a minimum of 5 pounds and includes butter.
Here is what I'm doing:
-Beer bread: 2 slices
-smoked turkey: - every last piece (half pound or so)
-Cheez-its : 2 cups
-Shredded cheese: 1 cup
-pickle spears: 4
-left over BBQ'd hot dogs: 2
-American Cheese: 4 slices
-Stick of butter
-Tomato Soup: 1 can

* Take the turkey, cheese, slices of cheese, pickles, hot dogs & cheeze-its, place them between the beer bread slices, buttered. You can toast them, or not. whatever.
Have the can of tomato soup as a side dish. BOOM CROSSCHIPPED!

Don't Let This Happen To YOU!

2009-06-26T17:00:00.001-04:00

Keep an eye out while you engulf your Crosschips meals. Things are getting dangerous out there BRAH!

HAVE A GOOD WEEKEND! I'm headed to the UP NORTH!!!

Free RIBS!!!!

2009-06-26T01:00:00.001-04:00

Now, for the guy at the end of this clip who is into "Free Ribs" as opposed to "Free Love"; we present this Crosschips.

"Multi-Ribbin' it"
RIBS, don't care where you get them, how you cook them or how fast you eat them but Take your height, be it 6'4", 5'3" or 3'7" you take that height and convert it into FULL slabs of ribs. So an example: I would have to eat 6.1 slabs of ribs. WOOO!!! LET'S DO THIS!!!

Xtreme Eating Awards

2009-06-24T00:01:00.001-04:00

When I saw the title of this article I just about fell out of my chair in glee, but insteatd of something promoting our Crosschips culture, I found this garbage;

Today the Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI) released its Xtreme Eating Award list. According to the CSPI "Xtreme appetizers, entrées, and desserts at America's chain restaurants are making Americans fatter and sicker, and the trendy thing for chains to do is to make already bad foods even worse."

Come on now? Making fun of delicious, calorie packed foods by giving them fake awards? Now, below are the options for todays Crosschips. The link can be found here.

Todays Crosschips: Pick 3 for your Crosschips meal!

-Olive Garden Tour of Italy : 1,450 calories and 33 grams of saturated fat (thanks to the beef, Italian sausage, cheese, cream, and breading) that’s swimming in 3,830 milligrams of sodium.
-Chili’s Big Mouth Bites : 1,580 calories and 28 grams of saturated
fat (1½ days’ worth), plus 2,930 milligrams of sodium (a two-day supply).
-The Cheesecake Factory Fried Macaroni and Cheese : 1,570
calories and 1,860 milligrams of sodium. But that’s ho-hum for appetizers these days. It’s the 69 grams of saturated fat—3½ days’ worth—that sets this dish apart.
-Red Lobster Ultimate Fondue : 1,490 calories, 40 grams of sat fat, and 3,580 mg of sodium. (Add 150 calories for each of the free Cheddar Bay Biscuits on your table.)
-Chili’s Half Rack of Baby Back Ribs: adds 490 calories and 12 rams of saturated fat plus 2,050 mg of sodium to your meal.
-Uno Mega-Sized Deep Dish Sundae : 2,800 calories and 72 grams of saturated fat
-Applebee’s Quesadilla Burger : 1,820 calories and 46 grams of saturated fat.
-The Cheesecake Factory Chicken and Biscuits : 2,500 calories.
-The Cheesecake Factory Philly Style Flat Iron Steak : 1,760 calories, 30 grams of saturated fat, and 3,840 milligrams of sodium.

TACO TUESDAY!!!!

2009-06-23T00:01:00.002-04:00

SNL has been a long time supporter of Crosschips and has always came up with some excellent workouts to add to the Crosschip index.

Make a taco similar to the one in the video and eat it for your best time!

BUSY, BUSY, BUSY…

2009-06-18T22:34:00.005-04:00

Of course with layoffs (FIREBOMBING) and general attrition at the workplace, those who are spared or decide to stick around, always get dumped on. A heavier workload with more responsibility isn't what the general population wants, we want to show up at work, pretend to be stackin' papers while we F around on the interwebs and wait for that paycheck. Don't get me wrong, a full inbox of work (what I call JS = Job Security) isn't a bad thing by any means, but it can lead one to insanity if they can't find a way forget about it once they leave their cubicle.

What is it that I do to forget about the shit storm I'm involved with at the work place? I DRINK! Please don't take this the wrong way. I make it to work on time at a reasonable time everyday most days. I've never only used a few sick days because of a hangover, but it's what they are there for. I think hope.

So for a festive Friday, I'd like to get our Crosschippers going on a drinking game. This one you may have seen before but it's a personal favorite of mine.

General Silliness: 2 drinks may be had when Rod displays general silliness. This optional rule can be applied in group or individual play and can be declared before the game or invoked when the silliness occurs. General silliness can be loosely interpreted as that’s why it’s not technically part of the rules. Experienced players will recognize this activity which can include stepping over the play by play with yelps, screams or any array of noises, use of non-words, abundant laughing or appearing overly giddy. HEEHAHAHA!!!!

Bacon Bread-sticks? Holy CHIPS!

2009-06-17T00:01:00.002-04:00

"The Paula Deen"
Bacon Bread sticks you can cook at home. That's what I'm talking about my Crosschippers.

Now, of course these beauties are coined by The Food Network star, Paula Deen. She's a very Crosschips hungry southern woman who has never cooked a healthy meal in her life and we here at Crosschips love it! For those of you who aren’t familiar with Paula Deen, here is a picture of her with her Santa Claus looking husband and here is a picture of her attempting to eat Ellen.

Now let's enjoy this quick video showing why we love us some Paula Deen...

SHE LOVES BUTTER!!!

Ok, back to the Crosschips for the day:
Use the link above, or here again, to prepare 2x the recommended dishes in recipe.
FOR TIME - post results.
EAT ALL 48 BREAD-STICKS and......
.....DRINK 1 BEER for every run the Tigers gave up last night. (They are losing 11-1 in the 6th already and I'm going to bed.)

Thaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaanks!

"Tuesday Tummy Ache"

Lamar Odom and the Lakers are now the 2009 Champions of the NBA after a quick 4-1 series. How exactly did Odom get the energy and nutrients to play kind of good in the Playoffs? Shit tons of candy.

Yep, candy. "Odom's personal assistant procures his candy stash, shopping for Twizzler bites, Gummy Bears, Hershey's white chocolate cookies and cream (Odom's favorite), Lifesavers, and something the star forward refers to as "peachy sugarcoated rings," among other goodies."

Tuesday's Crosschips: CANDY!
Eat 1 pound of each.
1. Twizzler Bites
2. Gummy Bears
3. Hershey's White Chocolate Cookies & Cream
4. Lifesavers
5. Sour Patch Kids
6. Skittles
Wash it down with a 2 liter of Faygo "Rock n' Rye"

Major League Eating

A new game for the Wii? I think a lot of good can come out of this excellent invention. The game itself looks pretty bad, but your Crosschips for the day can be done in a exciting way by using this video game...

1.Have a friend over and force them to play it.
2. Instead of playing the actual game with them, just try to actually out eat their video game character.

Sunday Funday!

I don't apologize for all the times I called him Cindy Crosby.
I'm not alone in thinking the Wing$ could have swept the Penguin$.

But am I the only one who thinks the Red Wing$ gave Fleury the easiest shots to save ever, in the History of SPORTS? I don't know how many shots hit him in the chest and legs but it had to be about 90% all series. The Wing$ should have just shot him the trophy.

Anyway, I'm off to play a 18 hole scramble.

Today is a CROSSCHIPS OFF DAY!

It's PIZZA, RED WINGS FRIDAY!

2009-06-12T00:01:00.002-04:00

Is it 5pm yet?

Friday is the busiest night of the week for pizza places. It's a known fact. Having worked in the industry for 6+ years, I happen to have a little experience with the heavenly pizza pie. Throughout high school and college I worked at Hungry Howies as both a Manager & Delivery driver. To be honest, having an all access pass to all the ingredients necessary to make a pizza was worth the horrible hours, minimal pay and coming home smelling like a box of grease.

Not gonna lie, as a manager, there were many times I would use that all access pass (key to the store) to sneak in at the wee hours of the night and cook myself up some Crosschips meals for my friends and I. (see picture below taken after the Death Cab for Cutie concert at Calvin College. That's a pizza oven by the way.)

Those were good times. It helped take my Freshman 15 up to the Senior 50+ (kidding. Ok, maybe 30)

Now, on top of it being the busiest Pizza day of the week, it's also GAME 7 of the NHL Stanley Cup Playoffs. Here again, Crosschips is a big time supporter of the Detroit Red Wings and we would like to incorporate Pizza + Red Wings into our Crosschips for the night.

Crosschips for the night...

Domination

2009-06-11T00:04:00.001-04:00

"VERLANDER!"

Justin Jonathan Verlander just finished up his 2^nd complete game tonight in a 2-1 victory vs. the Chicago White $ox. He allowed only 5 hits and 1 run on the day. In honor of his dominance on the mound, we will have a Thursday Ode to Verlander here on Crosschips!

V = Veal Parmesan

E = Enchilada (Beef or Chicken)

R = Rib Eye Steak

L = Leinenkugel beer (Drink 6 minimum)

A = Angel Hair Pasta

N = Nachos!

D = Deviled Eggs (4)

E = Éclair for dessert (6)

R = Ritz Crackers
Eat the above items in any order for time and try to go without a hurl (opposition scoring).

Seriously?

2009-06-10T00:02:00.005-04:00

Red Wings lost, 2-1 tonight and are now headed to game 7 for the Stanley Cup.
Here is a little history on the Red Wings in their Stanley Cup appearances since 1995…
1995: Lost to New Jersey, 4-0
1997: Defeated Philadeplia, 4-0
1998: Defeated Washington, 4-0
2002: Defeated Carolina, 4-1
2008: Defeated Pittsburgh, NBC & the NHL 4-2
No more than 6 games has it taken the Wing$ to get that cup so they can drink brewdoggers out of it, collect random girls phone numbers in it and of course, EAT CROSSCHIPS MEALS out of it.

One constant I have realized about the Wing$ losing during the playoffs is that I wear this same G blessed shirt when they lose.

FYI I am flicking off the shirt, not my Crosschips followers. This shirt will be banished for the next week. No question.
Now we need a big RED WINGS WIN FRIDAY WOOOOT!!!

For today's Crosschips we are going to take it easy. It was a tough game and we need our rest…

"Value Menu"

Pick any value menu out there; Burger King, McDonald's, Taco Bell, Wendy's, maybe something cool I can't think of.
Order the whole value menu and eat it for time.
Finish it up with a 6 pack of your favorite Brewdogger.

Special thanks to Miguel Cabrera tonight for winning the Tigers game in the 10^th with a DIRTY Home Run…
BOOOOOOOOO To F-Rod for trying to ruin my life and make me look like a FRIGGIN' IDIOT!… (Loading the bases in the 9^th and throwing 12 balls and 1 strike.)

Case of the Monday's

2009-06-08T00:01:00.001-04:00

"The 3 Meal Marathon"

Oh glorious Monday. It's day one of five for the common weekday worker. The day we all dread on Sunday nights as the sun sets on our SUNDAY FUNDAY!
Now if your job leads you to the following behavior...

I suggest you take Monday's Crosschips seriously because it will help cool down that temper and recharge your batteries for the next five days of work, work and work.

To help keep you relaxed, we encourage a heavy load of carbohydrates to basically put you in a "carb coma". This will make you want to sleep constantly. Your motivation to work will be comparable to your desire to watch the Lions on Thanksgiving day after a huge meal. No one can last without multiple cat naps (and some cussing at the Lions game play of course). So if you follow today's Crosschips, the whole "work" thing will fly by in a blurry haze and we will all be better for it. There's nothing worse then work on Monday than working on Monday without stuffing your face full of unhealthy delicious treats.

Breakfast:
4 pieces of double buttered toast
Egg & meat & cheese omelet (6 egg minimum, 3 meat minimum)
1 half gallon of whole milk.

Lunch:
1 foot sub sandwich, double meat & extra dressing
1 family size bag of chips
2 liter, non-diet soda

Dinner:
1 whole meatloaf
4lbs of Poutine (a dish consisting of French fries topped with fresh cheese curds, covered with brown gravy and sometimes additional ingredients.)
5 dinner rolls, extra butter
4 servings of hearty soup. None of that vegetable sissy crap.
Finish it off with an XL Milkshake

POUTINE:

Saturday

2009-06-06T02:10:00.002-04:00

I'm not sure where to begin with this one. I did my portion of Crosschips tonight. I was at a party that had a Qdoba taco bar (ate 13 tacos) and drank multiple brewdoggers (flip cup). I for sure did my part without a doubt, There's no question.

With that said...it's the weekend, we need to sit back and relax after a long week of work. We frickin deserve it. We work endless hours a week, we bend over backwards at our jobs and grasp onto what little existence of ourselves there may still be and we look for some sort of reason to belong, some reasoning behind the fact that we may need to say...."yeah I may eat 4 times my weight in a sitting, but what's it to ya?" Those who question it don't know the beauty of Crosschips.

We know here at Crosschips that we encourage eating multiple amounts of food and crazy portions of fattening entries that induce heart attacks. but we also feel there may be more to the Crosschips then the website promotes. It also promotes a sense of unity.

Can Crosschips sleep at night knowing that it's participants may die enduring it's life compromising tests? YES, it sure can.

Outsiders may think Crosschips is wrong in its ways. They assume because we require the eating 40 donuts on donut day as a test of ones will to eat themselves into a fat, gas pumping useless pile of life is a useless challenge, but they don't know it's also a venue we can use as an excuse to stuff our faces full of sugar coated crap and show people we have more will power to "stuff" as oppose to "cut back". Diets are for the weak at heart. The true champs turn diets upside down, double down on the opposite and pour gravey on it. (in Crosschips)

Here's to Crosschips and it's endevour of letting the norm (Eating a shit ton) become 10 times the norm (eating 10x a shit ton). Rock on Crosschips, don't let those anorexic, 5 foot, hundred nothin' folks "RUDY 46 seconds " tell you what to do. They suck at life and suck as actors. Keep eating and keep on keeping on...

Saturdays Crosschips:
Eat a Charlie Weis breakfast.
Minimum 40,000 calories.

PWNUT DAY!!!

2009-06-05T00:01:00.002-04:00

That's right people. JUNE 5th is National Donut Day WOO!
Donut Day is celebrated on the first Friday of June each year. On this day we drool over the ever so fattening, delectable and delicious donut that all police officers enjoy on the reg' as well as our beloved Homer Jonathan Simpson.

Here is a bit of history for ya:
"National Doughnut Day started in 1938 as a fund raiser for the Chicago Salvation Army. Their goal was to help the needy during the Great Depression, and to honor the Salvation Army "Lassies" of World War I, who served doughnuts to soldiers behind the front lines in France." - Wikipedia (of course) Hmmm...It appears Crosschips dates back well before the begining of the interwebs.

Now what I don't understand is why exactly do Flags get a day? ("Flag Day" June 14th) They are flags!!1! They aren't tasty treats that turn your love handles into love straps. They just hang there waiting for wind.

Let's not forget "Boss's Day" (October 16th). Let's give the guy/girl who makes all the money and has the ability to take your career out back and firebomb it a day to bask in his or her own ego and private bathroom. However I wouldn't mind a day for "Like A Boss". Awesome song... (NSFW)

Now like our other kick ass, unrecognized holidays such as "Talk like a Pirate Day" (September 19th) or "National High Five Day" (April 16th), our tasty donuts need their day of glory!

LET'S HELP DONUTS HAVE THEIR DAY!!!!!!

Crosschips encourages you to do the following for Donut Day:
1. order 2 arm lengths of donuts (Stacked one on top of the other, not side by side). They can be of any make, model or flavor. Mix & match if you want.
2. Eat one arm length in 45 minutes.
3. Rest
4. Eat the second in one hour.

1 Free Donut @ Krispy Kreme on DONUT DAY w0000t!!!

Enjoy!!!

Property Values people. PV = Property Values and this NOZZLE parks his 1973 Shit-a-bego in front of my house. Sure, I know everyone's PV's are down by 20% just because of this economy "S" Storm we are in, but this guy drops my PV down an extra 25%.

Anyway. I apologize for the late post. Doing the e-blogs isn't the most productive activity. Either way.

CROSSCHIPS!
It's a rest day I guess. So sit back, have some Popcorn and enjoy the WING$ Game!

Osgood enjoying some popcorn out of the Stanley Cup.

Buy One, Get Wha?

“The BOGO”

Here at Crosschips we demand the highest quality in belly busting food portions that contain not only the highest amount of FAT but also good TASTE. We also know that with a struggling economy, we can’t all be as fortunate to afford 10 or more lobster tails to complete a Crosschips triple double. With that in mind, let’s take a gander at a penny saving feature in Crosschips and in life, known as the ever so gorgeous BOGO.

If you’ve lived under a rock your whole life, BOGO stands for “Buy One, Get One”. For quite some time now it’s been very common sales tactic among the not so popular eateries and grocery stores to gain more business. Because let’s be serious, who is going to order a Pizza from a liquor store on 8 mile and Gratiot unless you get a second one free?

Now, because of our current economic hardships, some of us feel that we may not have a job tomorrow which has caused our desire to stop in at TGIF’s for a buffalo burger to decline drastically. Even when we know we may have a chance at seeing that spiky, bleached haired idiot who does their commercials so we can roundhouse kick his fat face, we still stay home, eat Ramen noodles and save $12.

Here is a list of BOGO’s in which you can fulfill your Crosschips routine and save yourself some cash.

Arby’s: Wednesday specials (get 2 people to purchase your 2nd and 3rd helping)
1. June 3rd - Free Fruitea with any sandwich purchase
2. June 10th- Free Roast Chicken Club with any drink purchase
3. June 17th - Free Regular Sidekicker with any sandwich purchase
4. June 24th - Free Regular Roast Beef with any drink purchase

5. July 1st - Free Regular Beef'n Cheddar with any drink purchase
6. July 8th - Free Orange Cream Swirl shake with any sandwich purchase
7. July 15th - Free Regular Roast Beef with any drink purchase
8. July 22nd - Free Roastburger with any drink purchase
9. July 29th - Free FruiTea with any sandwich purchase

Your Crosschips instructions on the day:
