Reminds me of: "If you are what you eat, and you don't know what you're eating - do you know who you are?" Good follow-ons, you guys. -- Mike Kanze "I always get a laugh out of those women's lower back tattoos having Han (Chinese) characters.

The most uncompromising wartime president the country ever had Sounds like a not-very-original plotline rip-off of the movie The Final Countdown (1980), not to mention a characterization paralleling Margaret Thatcher's during the Falklands campaign. -- Mike Kanze "I always get a laugh out of those women's lower back tattoos having Han (Chinese) characters.

Yes, well, if this movie season is any proof, originality doesn't
sell. (Sequels and remakes do, however).

"I always get a laugh out of those women's lower back tattoos having Han
(Chinese) characters. At least half of them would probably translate to 'Kung Pao Chicken With Singapore Rice Noodles' or similar." How about "A cheap dish but very tasty." ? Or, "If you are what you eat I'm cheap, fast, and easy!" You young whippersnappers probably don't remember this, but in one issue in 1946, Life Magazine, which then ran a "picture of the week," published a rear-view picture of a woman wearing a stunningly beautiful robe, made of flaming red satin, with a huge dragon embroidered all over the back. It went all the way up one side and across the shoulders and down the other side. And of course there were a lot of Chinese characters. In 1946 there were U.S.Marines in China. The picture's caption said that the woman's husband, a Marine captain, had sent it to her. A week or two later, the "Letters to the Editor" column contained a brief letter from a Professor of Chinese at some university. It said, "You may be interested to know that the inscription on that robe says, "I am Nanking's finest prostitute." vince norris |
