Come on Ryan – lift the game a little -get your editing head on.
When was the last time you saw:
1) a Chinese granny
2) two Chinese grannies
2.5) anything other than an “elderly” Chinese granny
3) Fighting each other
4) Repressed housewives. (Ok, maybe, I have no experience here)
5) Chinese grannies and repressed housewives at the same time
6) a Chinese granny in Carrefour…!!!?
7) Chinese grannies (a gang?) fighting housewives (repressed or otherwise) in Carrefour

I failed to get much further – which is a a shame. I often visit your site for much needeed antidote the bullshit of day to day life in Shanghai,

“a society in which secularism and orthodoxy battle one another more ferociously than elderly Chinese grannies and repressed housewives at a Carrefour sale. What, too soon?”

That joke was lamer than FDR’s legs. Hey, what’s everybody looking at?

“Thou shalt not kill.

Well, the parents could do THAT. They might have to. It’s the only way to combat the Children of the Rice.”

Or to combat the danger of having a girl. Why is everyone staring at me?

“Though if Putin’s shirtless fishing exhibition says anything about the current state of political newsmaking, perhaps Hu ought to be coveting his neighbour’s sexy goods. Ready to take the old reel out for a spin, Mr. President?”

Putin wouldn’t be into Hu because Hu isn’t a five-year-old Russian boy with an exposed belly.

Chip, I’ve come across a few blogs “written” by cats named Chairman Mao. Apparently it’s a popular cat name in the West.

On the #1, I was commenting to a friend that I wanted to name a cat Chairman Meow, and they nearly exploded in rage. They actually used the word “blasphemy”. Wow. I then proceeded to explain about Mao’s STDs and how his economic policies killed 40 million people…and then I ran away very quickly.

Frigin’ hilarious. And I’m only not changing that last part because I’m outta here and on to a colder, slightly more socialist country (and you wondered why that leaf was red) come hou hou (ho) tian.
