Chip or chips may refer to:
French fries (American English), chips,fries,finger chips, or French-fried potatoes are batons of deep-fried potato. In the United States and most of Canada, the term fries refers to any elongated pieces of fried potatoes, while in the United Kingdom, Australia, South Africa, Ireland and New Zealand, long, thinly cut elongated strips of fried potatoes are sometimes called shoestring to distinguish them from the more thickly cut strips called chips.
French fries are served hot, either soft or crispy, and generally eaten as part of lunch or dinner, or on their own as a snack, and they commonly appear on the menus of fast food restaurants. French fries are generally salted and are often served with ketchup; in many countries they are topped instead with other condiments or toppings, including vinegar, mayonnaise, or other local specialties. Fries can also be topped more elaborately, as in the dishes of poutine and chili cheese fries. Sometimes, fries are made with sweet potatoes instead of potatoes, are baked instead of fried, or are cut into unusual shapes.
Chips was the most decorated war dog from World War II. Chips was a German Shepherd-Collie-Siberian Husky mix owned by Edward J. Wren of Pleasantville, New York.
During the war, private citizens like Wren donated their dogs for duty. Chips shipped out to the War Dog Training Center, Front Royal, Virginia, in 1942 for training as a sentry dog. He served with the 3rd Infantry Division in North Africa, Sicily, Italy, France and Germany. His handler was Pvt. John P. Rowell. Chips served as a sentry dog for the Roosevelt-Churchill conference in 1943. Later that year, during the invasion of Sicily, Chips and his handler were pinned down on the beach by an Italian machine-gun team. Chips broke from his handler and jumped into the pillbox, attacking the gunners. The four crewmen were forced to leave the pillbox and surrendered to US troops. In the fight he sustained a scalp wound and powder burns. Later that day, he helped take 10 Italians prisoner.
For his actions during the war, he was awarded the Distinguished Service Cross, Silver Star, and Purple Heart; however, these awards were later revoked due to an Army policy preventing official commendation of animals. His unit unofficially awarded him a theater ribbon with an arrowhead for an assault landing, and battle stars for each of his eight campaigns.
she was dancin' with me for two or three songs
i was doin' alright until he came along
now she's holdin' his hand and they walk out the door
it's just a big bag of chips and a burger to go
cuser could have kept it under his hat
boasting that he spent all night in her flat
telling me things that i don't want to know
it's just a big bag of chips and a burger to go
they were outside the chip shop, herself and his gills
i offered her a chip and i nearly got killed
she said "i'm a vegan, that smell gets up my nose"
it's just a big bag of chips and a burger to go
(fast food late at night)
vinegar tears
salt in my wounds
and the ketchup like my poor bleeding heart
now i'm left standing out in the cold
just wondering where all them couples are goin'
my only companions on the way home
it's just a big bag of chips and a burger to go
we've gone all post-modern or so they'd like us to think
but it's still a sliced-pan and a carton of milk
out for a pint with people ya know
and a big bag of chips and a burger to go
a big bag of chips and the burger's gone cold.......
