Photos: Sherpas Slurpas, our July 4 chugging competition winners
Congratulations to the Sherpas Slurpas! While it looked quite harrowing at times, these crazy chuggers managed to out drink their competition with aplomb. They won 2000RMB in our chugging competition, which they've decided to give to Roots & Shoots! That's a couple more trees in Mongolia, all thanks to alcohol.
Shanghaiist Halloween Costume Contest!
If you're like us, you love Halloween so much that you look forward to it for weeks, dreaming about stuffing yourself with candy and scaring every man, woman and small child in your freak-out radius. But if you're really like us, then you've probably thought a LOT about your costume, but haven't taken the time to travel all the way to Party Monster for your costume, or even log on to Taobao to look for one. Well, it's high time to get on it, because our annual Shanghaiist Halloween Party will have the definitive costume contest in all of Shanghai!
Photos: Beer Saturday at Southern Barbarian
A nice crowd of beer lovers gathered at Southern Barbarian on Saturday afternoon to ... well ... drink beer. Very good beer. And eat food. Very good food. Mission accomplished. For attendees who left with minds foggy thanks to the strong beers, these photos should jog your memory. Yes, you did drink that much.
Beer Saturday: Sherpa's throws RMB 500 into the mix

Listen: "RMB 3 million foreign douchebag in Shanghai"
Adam Schokora of Danwei points us to this audio recording of a "disgruntled customer lecturing a telephone operator at a well-known, city-wide food delivery company based in Shanghai". Do a bit of research and you'll find there's only one food delivery company in town that delivers Blue Frog and it happens to be an advertiser on Shanghaiist. Does the voice of this douchebag sound familiar to any of you readers out there? We say unleash the foreign internet mobsters on this guy!

Spot the difference: Sherpa's vs. K.K. Rabbit
We checked our mail this morning and were happy to see a new Sherpas menu dropped in the box. However, when Shanghaiist flopped down on the couch and ripped open the plastic out fell a ... K.K. Rabbit menu?
