Ye-ha! Gonna shake the dust of this one-horse two-bit town off my and come up to the big city�Bright lights! Restaurants! Culture! Bars! Anyone wanna meet up?
One rule. I�m surrounded by Koreans here, so I don�t really want to talk to any while I�m up there. Nice as you can be, please stay away. While I�m at it, since I struggle to understand Konglish every day, I don�t want to put up with Japlish and Chinglish�so feel free to join the East Asians on the other side of the street and have your own party.
I�m not that wild about anyone from Asia, if you want to be honest. I figure all the South Asians working here couldn�t get in to Europe or else they�d be there. So they are probably losers. Don�t need �em. Won�t even mention the Nigerians.
So that leaves us native speakers. Hurray for us!
I may as well be direct though. If you have a �heavy� accent, I�m sure you�re a nice enough person and all, but I don�t want to be saying �Hunh? What�d you say?� all the time. Don�t be thick. Take the hint. It isn�t really personal. Just a matter of preferences.
Now I feel like we�re getting somewhere. Hurray for us North Americans! Well, Americans and maybe half the Canadians. If you�re a notAmerican, I�ve heard it before. Go drink your Molson somewhere else.
I just realized something. Who I really want to hang out with are some of my fellow Americans. Hurray for us! Or is that Hurray for the US? Hmmm�I�m never sure. It�d be really cool to spend some time with folks like back home, except not exactly like the people back home since I didn�t much like them when I was there. Who�s up for hanging out this coming week sometime? But if you�re a redneck, I just don�t need you. And if you�re a libertarian, then chances are you are a flake, so no thanks. But if you�re a liberal, then we can talk, unless you�re an East Coast liberal snob. Don�t want any more of that. And Left Coast folks aren�t that much fun because you cannot take personal credit for the weather.
I came half-way around the world for some exotic adventures. Are there anymore people out there like me who wanna hang out with someone just like them? I�m sure we could have a good time. One of my favorite things to do is sit outside at an LG25 on those white plastic chairs, drinking beer�Bud, of course!, and people watch. It�s amazing how many people going by remind you of someone back home. Great way to spend an afternoon in Asia.
Calling all (cool!) Americans!!! |
