Chilean Way

A way of doing things or solving problems with very little resources but meticulously planned in order to obtain the best possible result or the greatest benefit from a difficult or unsafe situation.-

Although it derived from the spanish original "A la Chilena", which has a broader meaning, the english form is more often used, even by spanish speakers, to denote the more specific meaning written above.

The term was coined locally in South America in the mid-eighties, when, under Augusto Pinochet's dictatorship, chileans managed to survive a great economic depression by being very inventive business-wise and diversified the country's economy, rather intuitively than with actual training.

The "Chilean Way" met global significance in February 2010 when Chilean newly elected State Officers faced the "2010 Concepcion earthquake" and were challenged with Reconstruction issues, wich they did very effectively and efficiently in order to solve immediate needs of nearly 2 million of the most affected people.

Further world recognition of the phrase came after the rescue of 33 copper miners, that same year, who spent 69 days trapped over 2,300 ft (700 mts) underground, with no casualties whatsoever.
- Dude, how did you managed to throw a party with so little cash?
- Chilean way, dude... the chilean way.

- I can't believe they're making us build this model overnight!
- We're gonna solve this the chilean way, alright, mate?
- Alright, mate. I'll bring snacks, you make some coffee.

Mikey Way

Mikey Way is the brother of Gerard Way, the lead singer of My Chemical Romance. He learned to play the bass because he wanted to be in the band. He does an excellent job, while still being the sexiest boy alive. I love him (something about boys with glasses) Saw him at Warped Tour and almost came in my pants.
Beautiful.Simply Stunning to listen to and look at.

Something in the Way

A very great and eerie song by Nirvana. About a young Kurt Cobain sleeping underneath a bridge in his hometown of Aberdeen. One of the best songs ever.

Mikey Way

The bassist in MCR, who DOES NOT have asthma . In "I'm not Okay (I promise)" he took a fake inhaler, he doesn't really have asthma! Anyways, he's an awesome bassist with lightening fingers. He left college to be in his brothers (Gerard Way) band, and we all love him for it.
The band consists of Mikey Way, Frank Iero (rhythmic guitar), Ray Toro (guitar), Bob Bryar (drums) and of course Gerard Way (vocals).
