” A day which will live in infamy.”

MrsLegion’s Grandfather was there in Pearl Harbor that day.
Retired Navy Commander. Her father was in a Submarine during Vietnam.
That was one weird day when she brought me home
(me looking Asian and all. lol
Do I detect some Mexican immigration hate, bfarwell?????
gay fish
bfarwell – You would not survive long as a fish.
And speaking of culturally sensitive old relatives of mine, I’m all for selling Texas, if you can roll New Mexico into the deal.
“I swallowed live, swimming river shrimp (like goldfish) to prove my willingness to “understand” Japanese people and ate soup with floating eyeballs.”
Sucker.
They got one of my colleagues like that. He went to some Cambodian village and they told him this story about how chicken embryo was a delicacy there. A pretty Cambodian chick got him to try one. We have it him on video eating this crap.
Long story short he later became violently ill and wound up losing about 15 pounds before it was all over. We now suspect the “delicacy” story was just bullshit.
Lighten up, bfarwell.
Most of us have far more experience working closely with japanese than you’ll ever know.
Okay, but the historical lesson of pearl harbor wasn’t “mocking other races keeps us safe”, nor was it “Japanese people are universally dangerous.”
And, while I appreciate the lighthearted banter aspect of it, it seemed like the kind of lighthearted banter my great uncle would enjoy, right before he started harassing ‘the coloreds’ about their love of fried chicken and watermelon.
NOW maybe everyone will shut up about the J-E-T-S. Rex Ryan isn’t look so funny now!
