Anyone from Hong Kong Watching the Game? - New England Patriots Forums

***Patjew*** · 01-13-2007, 04:16 AM

I'm a bit under the weather and may just watch by myself, but would like to know if there are any gatherings planned in HK.

Thanks!

Nothing to offer other than I love the title of this thread. Have fun!

Is it true that they run out of chow meain and chop suey cause so much is consumed by the rabid NFL fans of Hong Kong.

And, I heard that every junk in the water has cable tv so they can watch the games. I hope the cable is waterproof.

Shalom.

Careful with the stereotyping; that's on the verge of being offensive. "Chop Suey" indeed.

Well, there's at least one here now. But HK only runs out of bagels during games.

Not quite offensive yet but definitely stereotyping. As an Asian it's actually tiring to read posts by NEM which almost always refer to chow mein or chop suey whenever Hong Kong is mentioned. How would you like it if one implies that new england is only good for clam chowder and lobster? It's not really offensive, but after you hear it over and over it gets very tiring.

So instead of asking people to lighten up, maybe you should be more considerate. its a patsfan board and there are pats fans everywhere around the world.

I have read some things here that were blatant stereotyping. Are we all that sensitive that we can't mention a food productwithout hiding under the table?

I'm pretty sure those dishes aren't Chinese at all, but if you think I run away crying because somebody called me a Chowderhead then maybe you are that sensitive.

I feel sorry for you in that case and bear in mind I have actual made fun of Motzah balls and Bagels to PatJew, (is he allowed to use a blatant stereotype as a user name)?

To atone, I'm think of changing my user name to hopeless Irish Drunk, so I can come clean and share the shame of my people.

Is it true that they run out of Lasagna and Collard Greens cause so much is consumed by the rabid NFL fans of Hong Kong.

And, I heard that every jYacht in the water has cable tv so they can watch the games. I hope the cable is waterproof.

Shalom.

Fixed.

and NEM you wonder why people gang up on you? show a tad of class

***Patjew*** · 01-13-2007, 11:05 PM

This is my fault. I'll never mention Hong Kong or my people's consistently disgusting food again. Can't do anything about the username without losing my post # status, though, and can't do that when I'm so tantalizing close to 1000.

But if RayClay changes his name to Irish Drunk, I promise to change mine to PatCheapJew. It's funny because it's true. Actually, I suggest that everyone change their username to a blatant stereotype. SMG can change his name to SmartAsian, because he's both.

Holy Crap I wish this game would get here already. I'm going batty.
