Too Far Into Culture
Posted: Fri Aug 03, 2001 6:07 pm
Look at this link, and the picture, and read the explanation. No, the guy is not me, I had to put the link on a page because the forum doesn't like the really long URL:
http://www.geocities.com/creativebrother/sarongsong.html
I laughed. I am still laughing. Tears, yes tears, because he looks like he is in a skirt. It's a sarong, but with that shirt, and the coloring, it looks like a skirt.
But really, I have to also laugh at myself. How many times haven't I, and many of you reading this, gone too far in wearing martial-arts like clothing and grooming:
1) how many of you are wearing kung-fu pants and Chinese shoe-slippers to work or school? In DC? New York? MD? VA? Atlanta? Cali?
2) are you sporting a Segal-like pony-tail?
3) did you bald your head, not to be like Mike, but to be like a Shaolin Temple sifu?
4) are you a black man who grew a braid down the back of his head, that you then style in a Segal-like ponytail?
5) can you kick in darn near every pair of pants that you own? Ever practice kicking and stretching in public?
6) did you wear your karate-kid sweat rag on the street before it became a fad, and will you keep on sportin' it afterwards?
7) are you wearing a "Budda bless you" overly long goatee that you stroke when you are thinking?
8) do you have a dragon, tiger or other vicious fighting animal tatooed on you somewhere?
We will laugh at that guy, I know I am still laughing, but remember to also take time to laugh at yourself, or you will tend to take some things in life way too seriously.
