This is the tech team’s celebratory dessert for making their deadline.
I only had a *small* cup of ice cream. Mostly I wanted some sprinkles. And a cherry. A maraschino cherry.

Since this video of a Taiwanese father dropping his daughter while trying to catch a foul ball at a baseball game has been posted at 8Asians, Angry Asian Man, and Disgrasian, I thought I’d post it on my personal blog along with my personal thoughts and recollections of the Taiwanese Death Stare.
Being the kid of a Taiwanese Mom, I can tell you from personal experience that this Stare of Destruction is one you should avoid at all costs. If this death stare is used on you for too long at one time, you could spontaneously combust (swear to gawd that’s true!). I usually received the Taiwanese Death Stare when I was misbehaving in public. Unfortunately for me, my Mom was a stickler for manners. So even when I wasn’t causing a ruckus, I was likely (unintentionally) “misbehaving” by being “rude.” I’d give some examples of this, but if my Mom reads this blog post, she’ll zap me with that death stare THROUGH HER COMPUTER MONITOR, so I’d better be discreet about my past indiscretions.
Anyway, in my experience, the version of the Taiwanese Death Stare to truly be fearful of is that of the Taiwanese Wife. Since I only got the “Mom” version of the stare– and my Dad isn’t around for me to ask about the “Wife” version– I can only do the next best thing which is to see if I’m channeling my Mom (I’m turning into her anyway, so I may as well stop fighting it), and if *I* am like a Taiwanese Wife enough that I’ve ever given Yoshi the Taiwanese Death Stare.
I managed to snag an exclusive interview with Yoshi on the subject…
Joz: Do I ever give you the Taiwanese Death Stare?
Yoshi: Uh yeah, duhhh.
*Joz gives Yoshi the Death Stare for being rude to Joz.*
Joz: I do?!
Yoshi: Uh, gotta go, bye!
Anyway, this whole interview doesn’t tell us anything about the Taiwanese Death Stare and only proves that Yoshi is no dummy.
On another note, I hope the Taiwanese guy in the video had his affairs in order because he’s TOTALLY toast when they get home.
Then again, he might be able to redeem himself if he can convince his wife that he is a better parent than this Korean Mom who catches a homerun ball after it bounces off her son and she celebrates in glee while her own flesh and blood is writhing in pain. Just sayin’.

I had heard about this song– “Asian Internet Forum Song”– presented by Jukebox Stories (Prince Gomolvilas & Brandon Patton) at the 2011 National Asian American Theater Festival but I haven’t been able to stop clicking “replay” on this since Ernie blogged about this at 8Asians today.
Just remember this: smelly guys is a bad thing.

I was dethroned as MVP so I handed over the trophy with some
appropriate modifications/Joz-ifications, per the MVP tradition. What
do you think?
It’s HUMONGOUS now!!!
I can’t take credit for this idea as I really just executed someone
else’s idea that he never had a chance to implement, with a bit of a
twist. The original plan was to cut off part of the top of the water
jug (the spout was too tall), spray paint the 5 gallon water jug so it
would be black, and to add it to the base of the trophy "like the
Stanley Cup."
I was too busy to spray paint the water jug so I just created/printed
a few paper inserts, put them inside the jug, and filled it tightly
with (corn-based!) packing peanuts. Thanks to Yoshi for doing most of
the work (hacking off the top of the water jug, helping me fill the
packing peanuts and gluing the small trophy on the jug). Ok, thanks
to Yoshi for doing pretty much everything, especially for listening to
me whine when it wasn’t going perfectly.
Also, we had to put the packing peanuts in really slowly (to keep the
paper inserts in place), so we actually counted how many peanuts are
in the jug. Wanna guess how many?!
Trophy before I got to it:

I met up with Trivia Bowl Commissioner XVI Denise Poon for a late dinner the other night so we could go over some details of the first AAJA Tweet-Off that I’ll be running, sponsored by Verizon Wireless.
When she flipped to the page in the program with the details (and Verizon’s ad), I see this and go, "OMG! That’s my cousin!!!"

Originally written for 8Asians…
Our love for dancing Asian kids is well documented, but we haven’t seen such a great South Asian kid dancing video go viral until now. It’s a perfect combination of what makes a great viral video… amazing moves, catchy music, and of course an (almost) naked fat kid dancing in his underwear.
Meet Akshad (in his original unedited video) dancing to ‘Dhinka Chika’ from the recent Bollywood movie “Ready” (Hindi: रेडी, Reḍī) starring Salman Khan and Asin.
I love this video so much, that I’ll even do a little 8Asians math for you:
Chubby dancing Asian kid + wearing next to nothing + an extra dose of sassy acrobatics = Akshad
Awesome.
