I've heard some people say that Koreans are skinny, but really I think there are a lot of Koreans who are a little overweight. Most in the 30-55 range could stand to lose a few pounds. What do westerners think about it?

Have I done a million won worth of work on my computer today while posting at Dave's intermittently to keep my sanity?

I'd say the answer to your question is yes. Your turn!

All of my good comments about women are on clandestine's threads. And all of clandestine's threads get deleted because they're about internally rupturing people.

Oh, yeah? Well I cooked dwenjang ramen for myself, posted 2 Psychedelic Kimchi articles, crapped 3 times, took in my laundry, watched an MBC/ESPN program about Jeanette "My Mortal Enemy" Lee's trip to Korea (the best part? 차유람, an comely up-and-coming player

http://search.naver.com/search.naver?where=nexearch&query=%uCC28%uC720%uB78C&sm=top_sug

; although I won't venture to guess how a 19-year-old girl becomes such a proficient pool player. She should be studying!)

, watched Running Scared, cleaned the bathroom like Michael Corleone settling old scores at the end of The Godfather, took out the trash, went to 7-Eleven for beer, water, sandwiches and beer; came back home and watched The Warriors; dusted and vacuumed, watched Myth Busters, showered, read Murakami's short story "The Year of Spaghetti," chatted online with my uncle, and listened to EPMD's Business As Usual.

Currently I'm asserting my posting dominance on Dave's, listening to Raekwon's Only Built 4 Cuban Linx (current track: "Glaciers of Ice"), smoking a square and waiting for Mom and Daughter (aka C3PO and R2D2) to wake up so I can chat with them on MSN.

Later, I plan to discover the forgotten continent and watch racy late-night lingerie infomercials.

Beat that!

People of African persuasion who were born in the west are. You and I included.

I watched The Dark Crystal and Citizen Toxie: The Toxic Avenger Part IV this afternoon. At this point you are, most likely, perplexed as to just how an afternoon could be so cool. Your confusion is understandable, and I'm willing to forgive the inevitable bout of jealousy that you'll experience.

I also happened to fart in the general direction of Ilsan, several times.

Although you can't see me right now, there's a tear of joy in my eye.

(and one of pain in my...

When, if ever, will I grow up?)

If you can see Sparkles, he can see you. If you can't see Sparkles, you may be seconds away from death.
