Leave it to major league sports to take an item that costs pennies to make, slap their logo on it and charge $25 for three of them. Capitalism at its finest. Sad thing is I bet they sell millions of these damn things, most of which will end up hanging off of something in man caves countrywide in a month or two. GO DODGERS!!! |

That language you and our new troll have been using (Korean?) reminds me of the opening credits during Monty Python and the Holy Grail.
Lots of letters with other symbols and markings above or around them.
Just watched it again the other night for around the thousandth time - still funny!
GO DODGERS!!!

We have a Little Saigon out here. My mailman is Vietnamese. I've had him over 20 years. Nice guy. A few times I've misplaced my mailbox key & he'll stand there while I fish through the box. The mailman next over is Vietnamese too. At least one of the clerks at the Lawndale post office is Vietnamese. I go there because the Hawthorne post office is usually a bloody mess. Don't you hate people who wait until it's time to pay to start fishing for their payment method? 'Oh. That's right. I have to pay.' Then they hear me at the back of the line - "For fucking Christ's sake!" My neighbors are Vietnamese & always celebrate Chinese New Year. As racially diverse as my old neighborhood was growing up, this one puts it to shame. We have a Muslim school less than a mile away that was mysteriously vandalized after 9/11. I suspect they did it themselves to get free police protection. No one around here would do that. There's a mosque around the corner. Chinese, Korean, Vietnamese, Africans (real Africans), all manner of Latin Americans, Arabs, etc. One British guy that I would purposely mangle their slang to elicit a reaction.  |

Sounds like an apothecary of nations. We have a decent mixture of whites, blacks. Asians from the big three, a couple of Indian (country) and some Spanish residents. Everybody gets along great here and in our nearly 25 years there’s only been one or two incidents (break-ins) that I heard of. I did have to call the popo on some Mexican squatters that broke into and took over a house around the corner. And I wouldn’t have even cared about them squatting if they hadn’t decided to throw a big old all night fiesta to celebrate their illegal entry. Music was still blaring at one am and as much as I love music, including much of what they were playing even though I could only pick up parts of the lyrics (4 years of HS Spanish was a LONG time ago), I had heard enough. I truly didn’t even know they WERE squatters until immigration showed up along with the local township blue. But I have to ask - how stupid does one have to be to break in and take over a $200 k home (which would likely go for at least a mil out there) only to throw a big party with music the entire subdivision could hear and draw immediate attention to oneself? They were gone by morning. GO DODGERS!!! |
