Getting Back To My Roots
I have previously discussed the fact that I'm too stupid to be Jewish and too white to be black, although I may be black enough to be K-Fed. Nevertheless, the marketing geniuses at Verizon have decided that I can handle being Korean:
Don't get the idea that I'm ridiculing Koreans. I would be honored to be part of any race or nationality so advanced that it can communicate via anthropomorphized maxi-pads:
Thus, from here on, please refrain from referring to me as TFG and use my Korean name instead: Huang Tu Lo. Thanks. I'll close with this inspirational Korean proverb: Shibural jot kat'un nigimi jot manhan ddong mul eh t'wigyo jukil ship sekia.

I told you that legally changing your name to "Got Big Wang" would really NOT be that amusing longterm, but you wouldn't listen.
It's odd that "eemee sheemee pek poejee dah" is considered an insult In Korean. Different strokes for different folks, I guess. Wouldn't you agree, Go-ja?
Dude, Clare Fang has it IN for you.
Dude, that name is Chinese not Korean.
You need something like Kim Won Suk (yes, that's a real name) or go a step further - Kim Dong Suk?
Although I could read that Korean, I have not much idea what it meant, other than them using the word "phone" and "net". Strangely enough though, I could probably understand it better if someone spoke to me.
I find myself unable to use the polite form in Korean except for a few items, and yet I understand what my relatives say. I won't understand word for word, but somewhere, buried deep down, I've retained some knowledge from my childhood and understand the gist of their question.
I love how asians feel the need to animate everything. It validates my obsession with anime.
How in the world?
I wonder what was the basis for sending you that letter.
"His name Looks Korean?!!?"
"We ran out of English Letters, so lets just send the next best thing!!!"
LMAO! That's hysterically funny and, geez, who wouldn't find dancing maxi pads endearing?
I think you got profiled.
How racist is that?
You killin me!! And laughing hurts!

LOTI-I'm not worried. My Jiujitsu is very strong.
hanmee- Does Nun Tu Yung sound Korean enough?
lori-I know. I would have thought that they'd find that demeaning, but apparently not.
charles, broadsheet-My last name actually does look Korean. Regardless, I am 100% white boy, so their efforts are lost on me.
serena- Actually, the ones with wings are even funnier, because you throw them like boomerangs.
arlene-Thanks and get better.
Huang, Ay shibal! Hmm, there's just something about swearing in another language that is so childish and fun!
Me believes that someone be clowning with you for a change.
Maxipad phones, hmmm. Wonder if they let you call collect?
STOMP
Verizon made me disconnect my phone line -- when I moved 100 feet to another house on the same lot -- and when I reconnected it they had disabled my DSL. Then they had the gall to tell me that they had no more slots available, so I could no longer get DSL. Idiots.

Bummer. I didn't know guys were onto that trick.:)
I prefer swearing in Dutch. Ah, the sounds of my childhood...
Pleased to meet you "Got Big Wang".
I just popped over here to tell you that your comments on ACW always make me laugh out loud. Literally. The cats are frightened.
Katherine- I agree, except for pig latin, which just sounds kind of dorkish.
scary-Good thinking. Perhaps, they even include a Tampax earpiece.
diesel-If it wasn't for the quality of Verizon's coverage across the US, I'd never use them.
Muse-Dutch? I guess this means that you can give an authentic Dutch Oven.
monkey-Thanks. Honestly, I expect that ACW has had flatulence funnier than anything that I've posted here.
Maybe your last name is one that can be either or, like Lee.
Oh my God, on a day that's been a shitstorm, you have me in stitches here.
Korean cus words are so in right now.
Happy Giant Bunny Rabbit Day!
