  1. WonTon….its a long story but my friends in HK used to call me the Wa Wa Fish. There is a fish in the Yangtze or some river that makes a noise. There was this other gweilo that used to hang out in the bar and they called him Wa Wa Fish because he sounded like one but when he left HK they started calling me the Wa Wa Fish. The bar was the Waltzing matilda and has had various names/locations in Kowloon near Nathan Road and the old Holidat Inn

  2. Had to go 1 more round with Petebklyn. Couldn’t help myself. Now I’m really, really outta here. I earned my “PL” today, since I could’ve left my office an hour ago!

  3. Actually, those nicknames make us sound like a bunch of Hong Kong Triad gangsters!

    “The nefarious PLUSA Brownstoners, a Triad mob from Brooklyn, led by the ruthless Fatty Dibs and his lieutenant Little Sister Snappy, is responsible for more than 50 brutal choppings in BedSty, Kensington, Williamsburg and Park Slope….

    “Victims have ranged from rival gangsters like “Skinny Butt” Rob, to nameless unfortunate civilians whose only crime, seemingly, was a preference for recessed lighting and exposed brick walls.

  4. i know snappy. it is gross. if it makes you feel any better, for my last 3 jobs i had to be drug tested, had background checks run AND get fingerprinted (with my prints sitting in some SEC database in Washington D.C.). yeeps. but we gotta work, right? just give it a shot. interviews are like dates, you can hit a dry spell for a bit but once that first one comes along it’s like a flood. 🙂
