Asian Vacation

Ladies and gentlemen, the next Chevy Chase movie. Rosenpenis, you're a genius!

That's a pretty solid rhyme you just threw out there. And um... totally. I really want hollywood to give Asian Vacation the green light.

Ha! I've been waiting to use that rhyme. I can picture it now:

The Griswolds enter a local restaurant in Beijing. Despite the fact that Beijing has any number of American establishments, including over 40 McDonalds, Starbucks, KFC, Subway, etc., Clark wants to sample the local cuisine - he has a taste for "Peking Duck".

Clark: Excuse me, garcon, do you speak English? Ching chong tao wong?
Waiter: Ni hao
Clark: Yes, I'd like some of this Peking Duck, Hop Sing
Ellen: (warningly) - Claaa-ark
Clark: Oh relax, honey, they expect that from the tourists. Right, Russ?
Rusty: Uh, yeah, dad.
(Waiter finishes taking orders.)
A few minutes pass and the waiter returns with their food. After hesitating, the kids dig in, and Clark makes an idiot of himself by attempting to use chopsticks. After flinging food everywhere, he finally stabs a piece of meat.

He notices the duck doesn't taste like any he's ever had. He tries to brush it off as a local recipe, makes a series of faces, then finally calls the waiter over.

Clark: Uh, excuse me, Chang?
Ellen: Clark, you don't know his name.
Clark: Ellen, 'Chang' is the most popular name in the world.
Waiter: Yes, sir?
Clark: Um, I realize this is Beijing and all, but this duck doesn't taste like any I've ever had. Can you please gett the chef for me?
Waiter: OK, Joe.

Waiter returns with chef. Clark asks again about his entree. The waiter translates to the chef, who answers back in Chinese.

Waiter: Chef say recipe is normal, is very good delicacy in Beijing.
Clark: But it doesn't taste like duck! You know, duck, like in quack quack (proceeds to imitate a duck)
Ellen: Clark, sit down!

Waiter translates again for chef, who starts laughing hysterically. The chef rattles off an answer, then heads back for the kitchen, laughing all the way.

Clark: See, honey, humor is the universal language
Waiter: Sir, chef say he have good news and bad news. Good news is that you eat famous Chinese dish. Bad news is that he only know little English, and when he say 'duck', he not hear 'duck'.
Clark: So, then what did he hear?
Waiter bends down on all fours, wags his rear end, and says "ruff ruff".

Camera pans back to Clark, who turns green, and buries his face in a napkin.

Boy George gets 15 months

At 47, you'd think he'd change his name to Man George.

fair enough, i guess i don't really pay attention to the music side of the board that much.

i bumped into Paves today while i was driving to work down Chicago Avenue. he was dragging a huge keyboard behind him and i pulled up right in front of him to say hi. before he slapped me five, he rubbed his nose and got snot all over my hand. i'm sure he didn't do it on purpose, although if he did, it would have been a nice move, but i doubt it. so yeah, there i am in my car with no napkins or tissue, so i had to wipe this snot on my jeans. i had Paves' snot on my pants all day today.

looking at all the movie threads on this board, i thought about what the middle american's top ten list would look like in 09. 1. the dark knight 2. beverly hill chihuahua 3. kung-fu panda 4. marley and me 5. iron man 6. twilight 7. fireproof 8. step up 2 the streets 9. seven pounds 10. what happens in vegas paul blart will probably make the imagined 09 list at this rate.

The baby crying in Tool's "(-) Ions" is the same SFX used about 18 minutes into Girl With a Pearl Earring.

Theory: This thread is dying because of other social networks (Facebook and Twitter) that allow us to do this very thing.

[undo]

I've never used either of those. If that is the case, then I should hope that they pick up all the meaningless 5-things banter that's cluttered this thread in the past year and help it return to its original spirit.
