Frantic 911 Call: “My Wife Is Biting Me!”
Listen to the 911 call

Korea Loses

The WBC Championship game between Korea and Japan was at least close, but in the uniform and—as my wife kept reminding me—the “good-looking” department: not so much.

After the game, I put a bag over my head and went to bed.

The Koreans of the West

Man, can you imagine if there was an equivalent to St. Patrick’s Day for Korean-American’s (Like a St. Kim’s or Lee’s Day)?! It’d be just like any other anger-filled Friday/Saturday night in K-Town—but with greater purpose and without accountability.

Pray the Vatican also comes to this realization before any future canonizing.

The Irish of the East

Here’s an old article from the Joong-An Daily paralleling the “Celtic Tiger” (now, not so much) and Korea’s economic hopes. The interesting part is how it touches on the similarities of both peoples, and how we Koreans are considered the “Irish of the East.”

As long as we’re not referred to as the “Idiot Irish-Americans on St. Patrick’s Day of the East”...

Kowalski

I remember reading somewhere that Black Ops guys frequently use obscure names like “Kowalski” to remain anonymous. I guess the Pentagon has yet to realize that the entire Korean race comes in only four surnames. But I digress:

Whenever there’s an Asian guy on 24 (very infrequently and usually used as cannon fodder), they always have Anglo surnames. In last night’s episode, the Asian park ranger who gets killed was referred to as “Ranger Thompson”. Even Lost’s Daniel Dae Kim played “Agent Tom Baker” and I even recall one brother named “McCreary”. I’d like to see his own mother give that one a go.
