Chinchilla Origin Story

One day, Tasha came to school, talking to a friend about a video she saw of an adorable chinchilla. She wanted one.

Her friend got incredibly excited and said, “I have a story for you!” Tasha looked at her with interest and invited her to continue.

“One day, my cousin decides to throw his chinchilla a birthday party – the adorable little fluff ball was turning one year old! All was going well, and everyone was having a grand old time. The birthday chinchilla was let out of its cage so it could wander and mingle with its guests.

“At some point during this mingling, some awful person stepped on the chinchilla, and squished it…to death!!!”


At first, Tasha was horrified – how could such a catastrophic thing occur?!? But then she called Irvin, and related the tragic tale to him. They then started brainstorming…if they got a chinchilla, how would they keep it safe from evil party-goers?

And then, they had an epiphany! Sure, some reckless people might step on a regular chinchilla, but NO ONE would step on a hot pink chinchilla!!! After all, who could just ignore a bouncing ball of hot pink fluff? Our chinchilla would be seen by everyone, and its safety thus ensured!

After some painstaking research, they discovered that hot pink chinchillas were very hard to come by. So they came up with a genius solution to that dilemma as well: they would get an ordinary run-of-the-mill white chinchilla, and would dye it hot pink by dipping it in red Koolaid. It would be a delicious experience for the chinchilla (so don’t call PETA!), a hilarious experience for everyone else, and best of all no one would stop on the chinchilla ever again!

And that is the origin story of our fascination with hot pink chinchillas.

Remember, insanity isn’t contagious…we think.

Who The Hell Are We?

Hello!  Welcome to Pink Chinchilla Insanity.  We are your hosts, Irvin and Tasha.  Let us start off by explaining who we are, and why on earth you should care.

Let’s start off with a plain and simple fact: we are insane.  Absolutely, certifiably insane.  However, we have embraced this fact, and use it to entertain our friends.  You may wonder why we are called “Pink Chinchilla Insanity?”  Well, a lot of our singular brand of insanity is based on the idea of Hot Pink Chinchillas.  Tasha has a strange obsession with chinchillas (that she has passed on to Irvin), and decided that chinchillas would be even better if they were hot pink.  This would be easily accomplished by dipping a white chinchilla into red Koolaid.

Around this concept of hot pink chinchillas, we have created an entire mythology, involving Pluto, incest, jack-in-the-boxes, and world domination.  These will all be discussed in much further detail very soon.

A few basic facts: we’re a pair of college students living in New York City (which is the natural home of all psychos like us!).  We considered blaming our insanity on college, but the truth is that our minds were long gone way before that…probably around junior high when we started composing poetry about marrying monkeys.  However, being in college will probably only exacerbate our insanity as time goes by.

Stay tuned for further hijinks from the pair of us!  And remember, insanity isn’t contagious…we think.
