Build-A-Blog vs 1.0

We here at the Chimes believe that our goal should not only consistently provide you with news, entertainment, and social commentary, it should also by our goal to provide the opportunity to do so as well. But the problems is that many of our readers don’t even know that the blog exists let alone have the time or energy to regularly contribute meaningful content.

Fortunately the dedicated Chimes laboratories located deep underground have invented what can only be described as the next best thing to happen to the internet since Google and Al Gore. Loosely based on the Madlibs concept, we have modified for the digital age and renamed it… Build-A-Blog.

The basic idea behind Build-A-Blog is simple. I will write out the basic blog, add a few pictures, and then leave several key areas blank and underlined. The reader (you) will then copy and paste the Build-A-Blog template into the comments section, then fill in the blanks with whatever information is applicable, and voila, you have yourself a blog that took about 30 seconds to create! Allow me to give you an example:

Today I had _____ for lunch.

And then when you fill it in, it looks a little like this:
Today I had soy milk and a hot pocket for lunch.

Got it? Good. Now in this particular blog, I have included the template for a personal blog. If things become successful then we will introduce the specialized blogs, such as tech, fashion, and entertainment. So lets get down to business.

Sorry, I haven’t blogged since ____________ but I have been really busy with _________, but the doctor says I am allowed to use public restrooms again. Anyways, it is now my favorite time of the year: Fall! This year for Halloween I will be dressing up as _______ and showing it off at __________. Hopefully it will work out better than last year when my ________ was showing and nobody told me. But besides upcoming Halloween parties, I have been pretty busy with ________. Also I have had to change my dating status because _____ and I have recently ________. But possibly the most ________ part of my life had been reading the Chimes blog. I think that they should rename it the Atomic Blog because it’s the BOMB! This blog is absolutely _________ and the author is definitely very __________, _________, and also _________. I cant wait for the next one to come out!

To: All Of Our Friends With Nothing To Do On Saturday...

Saturday night has come and gone, and apparently you’ve once again missed another weekend showing at the Angel City Drive-in on top of a parking building in downtown LA. Maybe being served hotdogs and nachos by roller derby girls just isn’t your thing.

So if you’d rather stay at home and play word games over the weekend, then we have two great suggestions for you.

First of all, you stop worrying about how you can combine your love of those refrigerator word magnets that you arrange to make say funny things and your new political crush on Sarah Palin and start playing PALINdrome. Due to the outrageous popularity of this site the server crashed earlier this week, but is back to up and running again. The basic premise is simple, there are clips and phrases taken from Palin’s speeches and even her interview with Katie Couric. You can mix and match the phrases, making Palin say whatever you want in ways that the GOP could only dream of.

But maybe Palin’s lexicon just isn’t creative enough for you. That’s why you should check out The Office’s Addictionary. This neat little game gives you the chance to come up with your own words or give definitions to those already created.

Even though playing games online might not be your ideal weekend, it’s at least better than attending some lame “borientation”

The Roach Coach Rides Again!

Good news for fans of food sold out of the back of a truck: The ordinance passed last April that required taco trucks to move every hour or face stiff fines and penalties of up to $1000 and jail time has been overturned last Friday.

The ordinance was ruled “too vague and unenforceable therefore unconstitutional.”

The protest of the original ruling was widespread and even sparked a blog www.saveourtacotrucks.org which even sold t-shirts.

So you can rest assured that the local Biola taco trucks have been saved for now. If you are looking for a late night quick taco fix, you can check out the truck on the corner of Leffingwell and Telegraph. They’re there from 6:30-11:30pm every night.
