RANDOM QUOTE
The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed and thus clamorous to be led to safety -- by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.

ALL THINKS ASIAN

Friday, April 19th, 2002 @ 03:07 am
This magical Thursday night instead of hanging out with weird ass college kids who sit around and get drunk and raise a ruckus with drums their mommies and daddies bought them, I had dinner and chit chat at the house of g. One of the things we talked about was the Chinese and the Japanese and what their presence on this earth means to us. When I got home I was still thinking about it and I reached a conclusion. "There hasn't been an update in a week, and I can do something about that."

And I can. So I will.

I found this a few weeks ago and meant to mention then. But now seems like a better time. It's a quiz to see if you can tell Asians apart. I don't remember how I did, but I'll admit that it was pretty much a guessing game for me and my results certainly reflected that. To give everyone a little nudge in the right direction, I took the liberty of heading over to google's image search (with the family friendly filters turned on, of course) and entered "chinese person" and "japanese person". After going through lots of pictures of dragons and coins and assemblies of the People's championship kumquat eating league and pictures of American kids hanging out in the east and protestors and cartoon characters, I found these two smiling examples of our neighbors across the Pacific.

So get to taking that quiz and remember... rossa ruck.

Now that you've done that bit of bidness, you can learn how to dress like our favorite defenders of the inscrutable Asian way. That's right, NINJAS!

In completely unrelated news, if any of you enjoy brunching shuttlecocks then you might be glad to know that the main writer there has a blog now. Lore seems to be mostly steering clear of common blog sins, but he also seems to enjoy pulling some Penny Arcade style shit insofar as he's offering up these rather odd little explanations about some of the older jokes on the site. Oh well, what can you do?

You can go to bed, that's what.

My score: "Might as well toss the coin."

The Koreans threw me off, I have no fucking idea what they're supposed to look like.

It has taken me over two years, but I can now pretty much divide people between "chinese" and "everyone else"
