And of course not implying all Asians are douchebags. Many are not. General Tso for instance. Reminds me of one of my favorite restaurants in New York. Place served great General Tso's chicken. Its this German-Chinese place. Food is fantastic, but an hour later you're hungry for power.
The Germans have given us some wonderful cultural gifts. Except for their music. Wagner for instance. I listen to him for more than 20 minutes, and I get a craving to go out and conquer Poland.
I know, I know, I've made some historical references in this post bitching to you about stealing my humorous material. Of all the famous dudes who ever lived, I think I'd like to be Plato. Not just cause the dude was a great thinker, because I have been known to have some reasonably great thoughts myself, although I'll admit that most involve a Swedish flight attendent and some handcuffs.
Anyway, I have to go, I'm tired. Just got back from taking a date to the AC/DC concert. Didn't go well. Seriously, my love life is the pits. Last time I was inside a woman was when I visited the Statue of Liberty. Anway sex between two people is a beautiful thing. Between five people, its fantastic.
J: Very impressive. I actually wondered "hey, didn't I post this already?" followed by "Doesn't matter, nothing can Top This."
RS: Jiminy H. Christmas man, what has gotten into you? Aside from, of course, taking a date to an *AC/DC* concert...either you FAILED that one badly, or your taste in women has taken a drastic turn.
I had to Google that one too. You seriously need to explain why it is that all of your references, from pop culture to music to political beliefs, make more sense coming out of the mouth of someone 15-45 years older than you. (this is not just about today.) You're not even old enough to be Gen X.
My chick getting skills are working fine: my not getting stabbed by them skills are working less well.
Actually, aren't you a little young for Ross and Rachel? You were like 12 then, way younger than the show's main demographic. It wasn't a family show like the other ones you listed.
Ultimately, the point is that it makes sense for everyone our age to be aware of Ross and Rachel, even if we weren't the primary demographic of a room of douchey marketing people.
Aunt Becky was really, really, really, hot. Way top hot to be with Uncle Jesse.
Furthermore, "You Oughta Know" being about Uncle Joey totally ruins that song. Not that it is a great song. Its just that that song should be about Dave Coullier.
Most importantly, your point is invalid. Cheers ended at about the same time that Full House did. So why is one a valid show to reference and the other isn't?
Is it because you only know one? So the show you know is the only valid one? Cause when you were young you sat and watched TGIF instead of riding your bike through the neighborhood with your friends. Or maybe you were just watching TGIF on a break from your violin lessons?
Why must you denigrate the taste of others? Is it because secretly your overblown pomposity camoflauges an innate insecurity and a desire to cover up your obvious fagginess?
Aunt Becky is STILL hot. But then again, Uncle Jesse has aged pretty well. (There's that fagginess, I suppose.)
A couple of additional points: I was the ringleader of riding bikes around the neighborhood. My inability to deal with people came later in life.
Second, big points on the violin lessons comment. Score.
Third, the difference between Cheers and Full House is the fact that for Full House, a show aimed at kids and up, I was 5 when it first aired, and 13 when it went off the air. I was born the year Cheers debuted, and it was an adult show about a bar. Valid.
BTW Jay, have you watched the new 90210? I haven't, but apparently Aunt Becky is in it. And MICHAEL LEE from The fucking Wire is in it...as an adopted rich kid or something? Crazy.

didn't you post this a couple of years ago?

Actually I posted it in the comments section. Thanks for the attribution douchebag.
RS
Douchebag meaning J- Asian. Not J-non-Asian.
And of course not implying all Asians are douchebags. Many are not. General Tso for instance. Reminds me of one of my favorite restaurants in New York. Place served great General Tso's chicken. Its this German-Chinese place. Food is fantastic, but an hour later you're hungry for power.

I did take a girl to the AC/DC concert. And the concert rocked. So did the girl for that matter.
Of course, I'm not above denigrating my own chick getting skills to make a joke.
Anyway, you totally missed the point of that entire rant. Those were all Woody Allen jokes. Taken without attribution.
RS
This isn't the New Yorker - dumb it down and make Half-Baked jokes.
Woody Allen? Could you make this any easier?
You are totally an Asian Sam Malone. Without the chick getting skills. From now on I'll stick to fart jokes.

You didn't know Sam Malone? Jez man, didn't you ever watch TV. Sam and Dianne were like the Sid and Nancy of the sitcom world.
Alex P. Keaton
Knowing who Sid and Nancy are...that was one bizarre ass non sequitur.
Just because I do know who Alex P. Keaton is doesn't mean that it is appropriate for you to continue to exist as if you're 45.
Uncle Jesse and Aunt Becky. Carl and Harriette Winslow. Zack and Kelly. Slater and Jesse. Ross and Rachel. Those are acceptable.
Actually, aren't you a little young for Ross and Rachel? You were like 12 then, way younger than the show's main demographic. It wasn't a family show like the other ones you listed.
Yes, just like Joe Camel is for adults.

I know I have terrible and absurd taste sometimes, but COME ON. 90210? The NEXT generation? You're killing me here.
I have to wait until I finish Season 5 of The Wire before I start googling involved members.
