If you think Chill is just a witty, sweet, friendly guy then you've missed the fact that he's hella-smart and politically aware and very very deep. But, yeah, he really is so funny. Thanks Chill.

I am a fan of Cash who is indeed a very funny man and has kept me entertained on many an occasion, however he may be onto something when he talks of Chill's dominance!
Very amusing, very entertaining, witty and brilliant... Chill I salute you!

Chill is one of my favorite Newsviners. He's funny as hell, incredibly intelligent, has a backyard with a really cool-looking built-in fireplace/grill thing that is to-die-for, and, best of all, he DOES NOT wear adult diapers for pleasure.

Because I'm french too.
Vive La France.
