Boycott Chinese Food [Until they return our submarine!]

[Ukulele_Ike]

@BigT

Chinese was just a code word for “exotic” and “interesting” at that point. Marketing it as such made you feel worldly that you were doing something delightfully foreign.

When was this?

Off the top of my head, I think of Americans using “Chinese” as a synonym for “weird.”
As in when Louis Armstrong and Cab Calloway called the new jazz (bebop) “Chinese music” in the 1940s.

Or as "difficult or “gobbledegook,” like “It’s Greek to me!” As in Tom Waits’s song about the strippers, where he says “I’m getting as hard as Chinese algebra.”

Good one.
We can’t boycott Chinese restaurants until after Christmas Day. Otherwise lots of Jews (including me) will be wandering around like lost sheep* looking for some place to eat.
*See what I did there?

Well, one of my ancestors pissed off some asshole in some gold mining town way back when and some chinese “cocksucker” feed him to some pigs…so that may be it.

But seriously…the main thing I have against the Chinese (government) is the idea…mostly floated around liberal circles…is that you don’t upset or criticize them.

Well fuck that shit.

They can grow some damn big boy panties like the most of the rest of the civilized world and suck it up.

Like donald is tippy toeing around putin? Don’t you throw your back out doing this shit? Your dissonance is profound.

Now it’s time for the big boys to get off on china rants, because the russians are off the table because, you know…?

ROFL. He should have never pissed off Al Swearengen or Mister Wu. Even I know that:D

China says it will return seized U.S. Navy drone; Trump tweets, ‘keep it!’ :smack::smack::smack:

Christ! Can’t that half-baked cretin do anything right?

Well, at least China did show that they were right, Trump is like child.

“Ooh! You touched it! I don’t want it anymore!”

[billfish678]

Here is what realllllly happened.

Those sneaky Chinese finally opened the drone. Some of our CIA folks (part of Operation Bent Wang) had packed it full of the biggest damn condoms they could find. They had labeled each one “extra small”.

The Chinese Naval officers gasped, quickly put things back together , and shipped it back post haste (before the general population could become the wiser).

And now you know the rest of the story.

As a Red Sea pedestrian, I’d rather give up oxygen than Chinese food. Can’t we boycott something else Chinese, like their checkers or their zodiac?

Their fire drill and their algebra are on the table. I’d like to keep the handcuffs. They’re kind of cute.

Nonsense. What intelligent people are saying is that it’s stupid to create a diplomatic incident for no reason.

Looks like it’s Hot and Sour soup followed by Chicken with Black Bean Sauce for dinner tonight. Xièxie !

China to return seized U.S. drone, says Washington ‘hyping up’ incident

I am actually having hot and sour soup tonight - but with roast pork and roast duck…
mmmm

@Me_Billy

I am boycotting Chinese food until they return our submarine.

If France stole our submarine, I would of course be boycotting French fries. But it was China this time, so no more Chinese food until you return our submarine!

LOL

So it was a psy-ops mission to wreck their morale

Nice theory, except that American condoms are probably manufactured in China. So they know exactly what sizes we’re using.

You are the kind of person that thinks the ONLY reason somebody else thinks Beavis and Butthead is funny is because said person approves of and encourages said behavior aren’t you?

Nah. I’m the kind of person who can’t believe anyone finds B&B funny.

@Monty

Well, then you are the Rain Man of not understanding comedy and probably need to not ascribe motives to humor and why or why something might or might not be funny.

PS. Don’t watch the Three Stooges. You might strain something.
