how many chinese people can you fit in an elevator?
[break: damn it. blogger ate my original post. here it is again, in its entirety.]
the more observant among you will notice that in the autobiographical blurb in the upper right corner, the age has changed. for those that are curious, my birthday was monday… tuesday… the 14th, damn it.
and now for my original post:
today i saw one of the most amazing things. the lobby elevator door opened up, and no less than two dozen people, most of them chinese with a smattering of euro-american types (i.e., white people) thrown in, piled on to an elevator roughly six feet square. that leaves each person to occupy 1.5 square feet. i thought that this was impossible until i saw it. i am over 250 pounds, and i’m sure i occupy well more than 1.5 square feet of floor space. isn’t there some theorem that this is in violation of?
[break: don't leave me angry comments about stereotyping chinese people or asians in general. if there had been two dozen slightly paunchy 27-year old white guys with buzzcuts, glasses, and no girlfriends, i would have titled this post "how many j.d. clones can you fit on an elevator?". so bug off.]
in other news, pam anderson is urging people to boycott kfc. unlike peta (People who Espouse Terrorism for Animals), pam’s objection can’t possibly be due to having meat (tommy lee) or chicken legs (sorry, tommy again) cross her lips. i think people who do this just like the face time. to wit: janeane garofalo flaps her lips a lot. has she done anything lately? sean penn - another noted lip-flapper. but then he gets into two movies being considered for oscars and not a peep. martin sheen: punking the president got him face time, but playing the president in “the west wing” sent him off the chart (he was awesome on that great show, by the way - i pick on martin sheen, but he is one of my favorite actors) and he shut up. coincidence anyone? it could be that hollywood stifles expression, or it could be grandstanding by people whose careers are going in the can (which is all the more surprising that martin sheen was involved in this - he has had quite a successful career, he certainly didn’t need the face time - could he be a true believer?).
