Ahh, but that's another drunken tale that's prolly best left unsaid. Ahh hell, ChinoLatino will take my cash anyday, but they still wince when I enter the establishment, heh heh.
Darsy inquired:
I think I may have missed something here.....what exactly is ChinoLation? Can you explain it in terms a drunken foreigner might understand?
Hi Darsy (and anyone else who hasn't enjoyed/suffered ChinoLatino),
Basically, I live in a weird area of Manhattan, New York City. Outside the base of my apartment building is a small establishment that doesn't really even have a name.

The DBs who've swilled with me have named it ChinoLatino because it's a Mexican-food-type take-out place that's operated by Chinese people, exclusively. I mean, I don't have anything against Mexicans (this week) or against Orientals, but it's kind of a culture shock to walk into the place and see words like 'burrito' and 'taco' printed in both English and Chinese.

For some strange reason, when friends and I are getting loaded at my apartment, at least one person slips out the door and disappears for ten or fifteen minutes, only to return with a giant bag full of greasy, spicy ChinoLatino food and/or a nipple-ring.

Fortunately, the food really messes with most people's stomachs, because the day after every party, I can always enjoy some leftover food that somebody couldn't finish. Hell, at the latest CC, I was drinking the leftover hot sauce and washing it down with beer. Then again, I'm not often referred to as the brightest of individuals...
