Regarding the dude from Jordan, I didn’t appear on the map till I clicked on my name in the list.

But what’s it say in the fortune cookie? Are the lucky numbers secret codes for the coming invasion? Suddenly it all makes sense; the oily sheen on the chicken, being hungry again in an hour, lucky numbers that never win the lottery, and the mad rush to the bathroom as the “barbecue pork” prepares its explosive early morning exit.

“You mean Tai Chi, right? Tai Kwon Do is actually pretty kick-ass (literally! har!). Tai chi is the one where you move all slow.”
No, I meant Tai Kwan Do.
In the time it takes for a TKD black belt to do his fancy triple flying spin kick, any tai chi practitioner who knows what he’s doing will have knocked the tai kwan do black belt on his ass and stepped on his nutsack.
Seriously though, all the other martial arts laugh at TKD. It looks great on film, but it’s pretty useless as a martial art. (and really tough on the knees in the long run with all the jumping and crap)
As far as tai chi goes, the meditative form of tai chi is all slow, yes, but the actual martial art tai chi isn’t. Tai chi is all about keeping your balance and knocking the enemy off of theirs. And when they’re off balance, then you strike, usually very fast.

I would say that being in the Pacific Northwest (where the Asain population is quite large as many of you know) affords you to sample a lot of the foods in they way they’re meant to be prepared and taste.

In fact, one of my jobs is a five minute walk from the Asain section of the city, where in most places you HAVE to order your meal in the native tongue because the people don’t speak a lick of English except for “You want Coke?”

Yeah, real chinese food is a far cry from most of the stuff we eat overseas. Still good shit though, even if every bit of it in Northwest Arkansas (where I be) is cooked by mexicans. The places are still Chinese owned, so the shiz be good in some places.

The real mind twister is that our bigtime Japanese Steakhouse is owned by Koreans

The funny thing is, if you got to China you’d be hardpressed to find anyone other than we round-eyes eating shit like chicken balls and egg rolls. In fact, most of the stuff you eat at your local Chinese food take-out place is just an export prepared specifically for North Americans.

Jesus.. Maybe Drew is right..

The only chinese around here is Panda express and there’s not a single chinese person working there. Just a bunch of white highschool girls and a few mexicans. Where’s the authenticy? I want some hole in the wall grease joint with a barely hidden cockroach problem and some greasy general’s chicken and rice. Come on people. Panda Express does not have general’s chicken, what’s up with that?
