one thing and one thing only
« on: July 03, 2003, 01:46:03 AM »
Okay..so I am sitting here and for days no one has stopped by to say hello.  So just to be an annoying git I have decided to start a new thread.

My question is this:

What is one thing about you that would surprise others?



Mine for example would be that I was once on a national Television game show.   ;D  

I sang back up for a guy in a talent type show.  (Now mind you I can't sing a lick, but he had approached me for my long long blonde hair.)

Of course it was in Korea and the song was all about how Koreans would live without their Kimchi (pickled cabbage a true basic Korean food).

All I had to do was sing the "ya! ya! ya!'s in the background and look cute.  I thought nothing of this until for the next month or so people on the street would randomly appraoch me and sing parts of the song and go ya ya ya!   [smiley=blush.gif]

That is too funny!  I have a big jar of kimchi in my refrigerator right now.  We went to Seoul last August.    ;D  My daughter is Korean.

The Koreans feel like SARS didn't really bother Korea BECAUSE of kimchi.  Could be... [smiley=thinking.gif]

And I just saw a package of kimchi at the supermarket yesterday and wondered, "what the ... ?" I am sooooooo glad you didn't attach a sound file because you would have had me singing ya ya ya all day.

I will never be able to try kimchi, because I'm allergic to red peppers. :'(

You all are too funny....might need to move this into chit chat and see how many others have kimchi stories!

Saf they make other types of kimchi..like there is a summer kimchi that is not as fermented.  Don't know about the red peppers though.  

Song actually goes something like kimchi up-seo...sarag....something something... ya ya ya! ;D

Wonder what would happen if I went into Kazaa and searched for Kimchi!

So does anyone else have a silly story with or without kimchi involved? ;D

Geee, ummm...  not sure what I could say here...  lets see....  nope, that is no good...  I have one thing...  but can not say in an open forum...
Ok! let me think here... ??? I must have something that would surprise others...  errr ahhh, I got my first tattoo's at the age of 44?  naw, that is no biggy...   My hair is almost to my bum...  that is no big deal either...  so, nope, nothing surprising except that I have a righty for a belly button...  meaning it is off centered...   but heck...that is not all that big a deal either...

Don't think I have anything to add here peeps...sorry!

:o Oooooh wait...  I do have a couple things actually...  I am a decendant of 6 passengers and 2 signers of the Mayflower Compact.

and on my Grandfather's side...  errrr, something I never really announce because I myself have a hard time believing it...  although I have seen the paperwork...  I am a direct decendant of Pocahontas...  she was my many times over Great Grandmother...

but still, they are past references for me...  so, nothing really by me, myself and I...

Don't know if this would surprise anyone but I did meet the late great Janis Joplin in August 1970 in Harvard Square in Cambridge Ma. and actually had a couple of beers with her and a few of her roadies.  8) 8) 8)

Ummmm, I guess I don't do much that people would find surprising...lol.  I would have to say......that.....when my husband I got married, we made the Scunthorpe newspaper...lol.

I don't know if that is surprising enough or not...lol.

Not much to tell really.......I was home on leave and had just seen her that evening at Harvard Stadium with her band Full Tilt Boogie. My friend bussed tables/barbacked at a place called Grendels Den and a few hours after the show went to pick him up after his shift. It was towards the end of the night and I was sitting waiting for him to finish up when she came strutting through the door with a small entourage and I just sat in the corner thinking "Wow..thats Janis Joplin"...next thing I knew I got to yattin with one of her roadies about the show and after my mate finished up we found ourselves sitting around with them for about an hour before the place closed then we just took off. Y'know.........I never even asked her for an autograph but never regretted it cuz I thought how many ex-long haired leaping gnome Cambridge boys can say they had a beer with Janis Joplin? 8)
