Here are some more stories about me in Korea. Enjoy and share some of yours with me in the comment section!
TALKING ABOUT HOW MEAT IS MURDER, IS MURDER
SCENE: KC is at the same foreigner bar treats himself to some Buffalo wings, a true rarity in Korea. Again, somebody sits next to him as he's enjoying something by himself.
PLANT EATER: Pardon me, are you by chance a weightlifter?
KC: I enjoy lifting weights, but I'm by no means a pro or anything. What's up?
PE: So obviously you value strength.
KC: Not really. Lifting weights is just something I've done for years for exercise.
PE: But being strong is important to you.
KC: Sure. Whatever. (KC eats a chicken wing and doesn't feel rude for not offering one).
PE: Yet you eat meat…
KC: And?
PE: I want you to think about something. Which animals are the strongest? The animals that eat meat, or the animals that eat plants?
KC: …
PE: Planteaters. Think about it. Elephants are the strongest and biggest animals in the world, but they don't eat meat. And even if you didn't value strength, as you obviously do, if you valued speed, even though a cheetah or a wolf is fast, they're nowhere near as fast as a gazelle or a deer.
KC: Okay. I see some logic in that.
PE: I'm glad you see it my way. So…
KC: I don't actually see it your way.
PE: No, you just said you know that vegetarians are stronger than meat eaters. Are you really going to argue with me over what's stronger, an elephant or a lion?
KC: How do I get into these things? Okay, before you twist more of my words…
PE: You agree with me that animals that eat plants are stronger than animals that eat meat. And since you're a man who values strength…
KC: Look man. Don't make me out to me some meathead. I may see your point, but I don't think you and I agree on many things.
PE: How can you…
KC: I find your little theory cute about how plant eating animals are stronger. But you've got a huge flaw, and would you like to hear that as I speak condescendingly to you as you did to me?
PE: Okay.
KC: A buffalo or a wildebeest or whatever is maybe stronger because of its purely plant diet. But here's your problem.
PE: I'm pretty sure you just agreed with me.
KC: Okay, agree to this. The meat eaters eat the plant eaters. Now who's stronger?
KOREAN TATTOO SHOP
KC: I like what I see. I really think I'm going to get this piece done.
GIL-JUNE: Cool man. I really want to do it.
KC: Alright. I'm taking off.
(Jay, the owner of the shop runs up to me.)
JAY: Look, Gil-June really wants to do this tattoo.
KC: yeah, I just need to think about it.
JAY: Look, all we do are Korean letters and gang tattoos for Koreans. And tribal crap for foreigners. This is a cool tattoo idea. Let's do it.
KC: Sure. I'm excited that you guys are excited. We'll do it.
JAY: Also, Gil-June says you have really pale skin, which will make the colors pop.
KC: Pale skin, huh? Thanks.
MORE WHITE OY STUFF
HEY: KC, how old are you?
KC: I'm 31.
HEY: Wow, you've really aged well for a white guy.
KC: Hmm. Thanks.
MORE WINDBOY
SUE: KC, you've been single for too long.
KC: Thanks for reminding me Sue.
SUE: You used to be a Windboy, now you're Mr. Picky.
KC: I am not picky. I just know what I want.
SUE: Then why don't you have girlfriend?
KC: Um, because I haven't found what I want in a while.
SUE: What's wrong with that girl?
KC: She's really drunk and kind of, bigger.
SUE: See. Too picky.
