That's not the kind of party I had in mind, Nanci
Older and bolder elder-cutie Nanci Pelosi wants to party on down with the Lonewacko. Maybe your daughter can come too, baby.
Yeah.
So, anyway, back to the real world. I was in the line at the drugstore just a bit ago. A late 30s Chinese lady was right behind me, real close like. She wasn't scowling, smiling, or showing much emotion beyond, let's say, quiet patience. I glanced her way, no reaction.
The line was moving slow, and I noticed that she was looking at a tabloid on a rack, featuring Laura Flynn Boyle in a bathing suit. The caption was something like "LFB is Wasting Away!" I glanced at it and said to the Chinese lady something like, "she's not so thin." Then, I picked up a copy of the tabloid, and said, "actually, she is thin." The Chinese lady just kept looking into space with the same patient expression, not acknoweldging me in the least. Then I said, "some creative Photoshopping there I guess" or similar. Same blank expression without acknowledging the presence of #1 Alpha Male Lonewacko.
Was she completely stoopid? Didn't speak a word of English? Shy? Scared of my Albert Goresque Alpha Maleness? Deaf? I mean, at the very least I would have expected a look of revulsion or something, right?

If she was Korean rather than Chinese, and rather than a native born American, she probably thought you were strange for striking up a conversation with a total stranger. My Korean wife can't get used to my American puppy-dog friendliness, after six years of marriage.
