Yep, found the first iteration in my spam, so I approved which hopefully fixes the issue.

The first time a bear shit in the woods was Bereshit. And the Pope was still Catholic.

And I’m already gone.
Good one Soju…

Heh, well I normally try to be a little “punny” with my headlines but in this case I was unaware of the fire. Of course, that’s just the way the NORKs want to keep us–in the dark.
And there’s my pun.

Ha, good point. Although he would need a better outfit for that. But his slogan could be “when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object”. I wish I had thought of that myself, but some wag posted that as a comment on Facebook. (I guess I can’t post photos in the comments, or at least I don’t know how, so I’ll post another picture as an update.

Slow is just a four letter word
Mark! After all these years you finally broke down and left a comment! Well met!
Obviously I need to post video featuring attractive Korean women more often.

Welp, it could always be worse
Well, medicine is an art as much as a science. The leg is not sore to the touch, even when it hurts, so it seems like a strange way for a muscle to act. Time will tell if Dr. Yu got it right I suppose.
Thanks for the kind thoughts!

Thanks, Kevin. Skinny as a rail and didn’t smoke. And still I live. Go figure.
Soju, yep I fully understand what you are saying. I was always very paranoid in the USA and I really do appreciate the availability of public transit here.

Perfect! I’ll add them to my vocabulary. At least the bee-kyaw.

Keith, I hope it wasn’t the Planning Commissioners doing the name calling.
Kevin, thanks! I had captioned that photo I stole from your blog attributing the quote to Yeats and crediting your blog as my source. For some reason, the caption didn’t take. I’ll try again.

Soju, that’s a lot of pressure on me and must be boring as hell for you. I’ll try to ratchet things up a notch for both of our benefit.

Thanks, Kevin. I’ll do some stewing on the KBS opportunity.

Remembering the time I was attacked by a cougar in Arizona
Pat, thank you for sharing those memories…
» Posted By John McCrarey On 05/September/2015 @ 12:07 am
Haha. Yes, I’ve had my moments. Of course, at my age now all I have left are the memories. Well, and the fantasies.
» Posted By John McCrarey On 10/April/2015 @ 6:43 am
Soju, that is funny! Yeah, I watched the show but never thought I had a “made man” look about me. I do take it as a compliment!
» Posted By John McCrarey On 07/April/2015 @ 9:03 am
Haha, yeah those too.
» Posted By John McCrarey On 29/March/2015 @ 3:22 pm
Thanks, guys. It will be good to have something meaningful to do again for sure.
» Posted By John McCrarey On 26/March/2015 @ 7:44 pm
Good tip, soju. Thanks!

The Accidental Citizen-Soldier
I agree William. What came to my mind was that the U.S. gov’t sends Jimmy Carter and or Bill Clinton to rescue idiot Americans who stray into NK hands. And then some guy like Young gets totally hosed by the ROKs and no one gives a damn.
» Posted By John McCrarey On 24/March/2015 @ 12:09 am
My understanding is that if you are a dual citizen (i.e. on the ROK family register) and have not formally renounced your Korean citizenship by the deadline age, you can still be drafted.
» Posted By John McCrarey On 22/March/2015 @ 12:43 pm
Indeed, Young. My favorite parts of the book were where you learned to game the system more or less to your advantage. I guess that’s what smart soldiers learn to do in every army of the world.
Look forward to meeting you one day. Amazon says the books should be delivered by March 24, but that sounds overly optimistic given my experience with the Army Post Office.

Down in the mouth and knee deep in doo doo
Ha! Now I have a handy laundry list of all the things that could potentially go wrong in my life. Thanks for that. Although I can’t imagine any possible ethical violations to be had in my current job. I can’t even access my blog (or yours for that matter) from the internet at work.
Yeah, Jee Yeun kinda sorta tried to explain that sign to me. Knew it wasn’t really about eating dog, but clearly the ad creators did not think through the implications for non-Korean speakers…
» Posted By John McCrarey On 05/March/2015 @ 9:08 am
Yeah, it is sad that I’ve resorted to click bait just like the big boys of the internet. Still, I wasn’t nearly as misleading as some of those sites, right?

Nice soju! I remember the version featuring Eric Clapton and Cream.

It only hurts until the pain goes away
Ah yes, Hard Times Cafe. Back in my NOVA days it was a regular lunch time destination!

It must be a Southern thing. That’s how my mom always served it. I like to crumble some cornbread into my bowl as well…

If the six turned up to be nine
Indeed, that is correct. I was 7-2 on the night, and we won the match 21-18. It was a good night.

Actually, twelve bucks in the hole. Not big on Bennigan’s anyway though. Yeah, the Wiki link had some pretty interesting examples of just how common catch-22 situations seem to be in life. But that need experience/get experience conundrum is a great example.

Ha, didn’t want to violate the guy code. In *ahem* entirely unrelated news I started doing an online Korean lesson last night. Jee Yeun asked “is it because Kevin can speak Korean so well?” I didn’t say it, but yeah, I could see the advantages on full display…
