A Brief History of The Qi-Mong

There's been a lot of talk about Chipmunks here already and this is only my fourth post so I thought I would give, for those of you who don't know, a short history of Chipmunk-kind. I'm not going to do this for Fox-kind because that history goes like: "They ate some chickens." That's about it.

But Chipmunks are much more interesting. You see, Chipmunks originated in China where they were known as Qi- Mong. Which is gibberish of course, because Chipmunks didn't have proper vocal chords at that time and were just named for the sounds they made (like Pokemon). The very first few Qi-Mong were said to be gifts from heaven to teach all of the forest creatures the fine art of kick-assery. They began in Shaolin and eventually worked their way around the world, becoming renowned for both their elite fighting skills and the tasty stew they made if caught. Being rightfully pissed at being made into stew way too often, the Qi-Mong formed into a great army determined to wipe out all other animals so that they would never be made into stew again. Of course that didn't work. But they did impress the other animals so much that everyone became too afraid of them to eat them. If you saw a giant wave of fuzzy squeaking rodentia rounding on you brandishing bo staffs and nunchaku the size of toothpicks you'd be terrified too.
And then later a Qi-Mong hero settled in North America after winning proper vocal chords for all in an epic battle of epic proportions. He Americanized the name to Chipmunk and that's what it is now.
