Haven't been making too many of these lately. And since I've been given to understand that the Negro making OJ jokes about his problems with his white ex skirt the boundaries of good taste in a fashion similar to the Nazis skirting the boundaries of France during World War II [see below], I'll just substitute.
So. Ahem.
"Filipinas and Koreans are the only Azian sistas with hips, explaining my disturbing fixation with Margaret Cho and Tina Kim."
Discuss.
As I said, I've been told such comments are in poor taste.
If I have ever said or done anything which would lead visitors to the understanding that I'm interested in observing the conventions of good taste, I apologize unreservedly for leaving this mistaken impression.
Because I'm so not.
Thank you for your kind attention.
Hm. But what about your approval of Meg Lee Chin? She is Chinese-american, is she not?
Garrity, good point. Um, the exception that proves the rule?
Ok, I got nothing.
That comment did send me scurrying to Meg's site and the one for Invisible/Underground Records. The former has a jukebox where you can listen to pretty much Meg's entire catalog, while the latter is running one hell of a sale. Five cds for $20?
I so don't need that temptation right before Xmas.
Unless I just give everyone Pigface and Damage Manual cds as gifts.
Which could work. . .
I see nothing disturbing in a fixation on Margaret Cho. But then, I'm Korean. And, as recent shopping experiences in the couture sections of department stores have emphatically reminded me, I have hips.
Wow, when I try to offend people, I don't, and when I'm not trying, I piss off the Universe at large. I should have that looked at. . .
Karin, I still have an extra ˇNalgonas Unidas! button, if you'd like me to send it along with payment for the Dark Crystal DVD.
Was at Hamilton's with Redpac and the Ghettofabulous Jessica back on Halloween, and noted that most of the women there had no hips, and were going to die in childbirth.
Jessica pointed out that she had enough hips for all of them.
And this is just one of the reasons I adore her.
Would take you up on that if I knew what "Nalgonas unidas" meant...
Um. . . no hablo español.
Ok, it's the short version of "ˇNalgonas Unidas Jamas Serán Vencidas!"
Which translates roughly to, "The asses, united, will never be defeated!"
Chanted after a bit in "The Maria Chronicles" where it was discussed how Latinas, um, tend to not be among the assless.
Muy fabuloso. (My Spanish education, sadly, did not extend into slang. Nor does Babelfish.) I'll take it.
I'm sorry, Aaron, but India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and a few other South Asian countries would like a word with you. They think that you're ignoring the size of their hips.
Ruh-roh. Knew I was forgetting something.
Like a subcontinent.
