Chip 'n' Dale
Chip and Dale (also spelled Chip 'n' Dale) are a cartoon duo of anthropomorphic chipmunks created by The Walt Disney Company, who debuted in the 1943 short film '' Private Pluto''. Concept The characters were first drawn by Bill Justice and introduced in the 1943 Pluto short '' Private Pluto'', directed by Clyde Geronimi. In the short, they fight with Pluto about whether they can store their nuts in a military base cannon. Three years later, director Jack Hannah decided to use them as co-stars in Donald Duck shorts. Hannah said: Of the two, Chip is portrayed as being safe, focused, and having a mind for logical scheming. Dale, by contrast, is more laid-back, dim-witted, and impulsive, and has a very strong sense of humor. Originally the two had a similar appearance, but as a way to tell them apart, some differences were introduced: Chip has a small black nose and two centered protruding teeth, whereas Dale has a large dark red nose and a prominent gap between his front t ...

Chinese Chippendale (architecture)
In architecture, Chinese Chippendale refers to a specific kind of Guard rail, railing or balustrade that was inspired by the "Chinese Chippendale" designs of cabinetmaker Thomas Chippendale. The infill between the top and bottom rails and the vertical supports is a series of interlocking diagonals, although rectilinear designs exist as well. The term may also be applied to latticework. The design was popular in the United States in the late 18th and early 19th centuries.

Chairface Chippendale
This article details the characters found in all four versions of The Tick. Main characters The Tick The Tick is a superhero in a blue bug suit (which may or may not be part of his body). He is the main protagonist of the Tick franchise. Arthur Arthur is the Tick's sidekick. He is formally introduced in ''The Tick'' #4, but appears as a mysterious flying figure in the background of earlier issues of that series. Trained as an accountant, Arthur purchased his moth suit at an auction and decided to pursue the life of a superhero (resulting in indefinite "psychiatric leave" from his accounting firm). After rescuing a powerful ninja artifact (the Thorn of Oblivion) and helping the Tick and Oedipus defeat the ninjas, Arthur decides to become the Tick's sidekick. In a running joke, Arthur is often mistaken for a rabbit because of the shape and size of his costume's antennae and because his wings are usually folded up. His doughy physique, shy manner, lack of self-confidence, and hesit ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Chippendales Audition
"Chippendales Audition" is a comedy sketch which aired on October 27, 1990, during the Saturday Night Live (season 16), 16th season of ''Saturday Night Live''. It stars Chris Farley and guest host Patrick Swayze as dancers auditioning for the male burlesque troupe Chippendales. The sketch's humor largely stems from the incongruity of the overweight Farley performing energetic and erotic dance moves, with his body, which the judges later describe as "fat and flabby", contrasting with the trim, muscular body of Swayze. Heightening the absurdity, the panel judging the men considers them to be closely matched, repeatedly emphasizing the difficulty of choosing between them. "Chippendales Audition" was well received by ''SNL''s audience and has been remembered as one of the show's most iconic sketches. Occurring on Farley's fourth episode as a cast member, the sketch was instrumental in his rise to stardom. Contemporary ''SNL'' cast and writers are sharply divided in their assessments of ...

George Chippendale
George Chippendale (18 April 1921 – 16 February 2010) was an Australian botanist and a strong proponent of growing Australian Native plants. As well as a career in botany, he also taught his love of botany to all who would listen through talks to children, special interest groups, walks on Canberra's Black Mountain and more recently through the U3A (University of the Third Age), both in class and online.
