konglish jokes

during dinner at soot-bull-jip the other day, aaron asked, “are we getting jjigae with it?” and aaron being aaron, he quickly turned that into, “are we getting jiggy with it?” i admit, it was pretty funny, and it also reminded me of all the other konglish jokes i’ve heard in the past. since these jokes are awesome, here is a nice compilation of all the konglish jokes i know. enjoy!

wheel of fortune

i am an avid fan of the american classic, ‘wheel of fortune’. the show is celebrating its 25th season this year, and i feel that the show’s popularity despite not rewarding its contestants with extravagant $1 million dollar prizesis a testament to the show’s awesomeness.

anyway… this post isn’t to share my awe of the show, but of a particular contestant. i was watching this particular show at home… and since i didn’t have a chance to share it with anybody at the time, i felt compelled to at least post it here.

not only did she miss out on $33,450… she missed out on the carribean trip worth over $6k. sad. it was also funny how the next guy enunciated each word of the answer, haha. not cool.

pb’s last dinner

tonight was pb’s last night in san francisco. since we have such fond memories of 숫불집 (not the awesome one in L.A., but the so-so one in SF), we decided to go there for his last dinner . it was good times once again… always fun times when friends get together and mix in some meat, beer and soju. it was a great way to start off the week, and send off pb.

(prepping for some sam-gyup-sal action)

(cheers to pb leaving, yay!!)

(good stuff)

we went to my hood for some dessert, and ended up at jubili!

(jubili is right downstairs, but it was my first time! the yogurt was a little thicker than what i’m used to, but it was still good)

(the nice lady even gave us some extra cap’n crunch on the side)

(not only did aimee buy us yummy yogurt, she entertained us with her awesome stories, *umm*, *yeah*)

(she even made me a rose)

(it smelled like… tissue paper)

(some pictures to commemorate the night!)

tilden park golf course

pb is leaving for home on tuesday, so him, aaron and i went golfing for the last time in what looks like months before we’ll have a chance to go together again. aaron and pb teamed up, the so called ‘black nike glove’ team…

(“black glove power”)

(yep… these are my friends…)

(this is me happy, before i started sucking)

(we met bambi and his mom, they were so cute!)

(beautiful tilden park, and aaorn)

(aaron’s bag…. but where is aaron?! hehehehehehehe, this is only funny to pb and me)

pb led most of the way, but aaron aka tiger myung ended up “roaring” back from 9 strokes down for the victory. pb was so caught up worrying about aaron that he didn’t realized i was right behind him. i had to sink a 15 foot putt on the 18th, but it was just enough for second place. my 108 was no where near the 99 i hit last time, but i was just glad i didn’t lose, hehe.

some vides from the day. i seem to be an expert in capturing poor shots by aaron.

aaron hits it too short…

aaron hits it too far…

the truth behind pb’s golf

half moon bay

thanks to julie’s awesome planning, the group spent the day at half moon bay for the first time. it was surprisingly warm, and we were no where dressed for the occasion. regardless, we had lots of fun throwing the softball and frisbee around the beach. not to mention my awesome prank on aaron, where i threw a dead jellyfish at his back (and where he subsequently chased me with rage for what seemed to be a mile).

(i had to defend myself, so i picked up a huge piece of seaweed thing…)

(… little did i know aaron would pick one up… with a crazy ball thing at the end…)

(the result -______-)

i was afraid of aaron for the rest of the day in fear that he would throw me in the water, but pb and i got a good laugh for the entire day staring at the pieces of jellyfish still stuck to aaron’s back, hehe. it makes me laugh still thinking about it.

we then headed over to the famous sam’s chowder house.

this place was voted as having one of the best sandwiches in the U.S. (click on first picture for link)… and yes, we had the lobster roll, and it was legendary…

but before we get to the lobster roll, they also had amazing clam chowder.

now on to the lobster roll. and yes, it was awesome. yes… it was really expensive…. but it was all lobster so it was well worth it.

paul and i didn’t want to be boring and get what everybody else was getting, but we didn’t want to miss out on the lobster roll… so we got two dishes and shared. our second dish was the jumbo prawns, stuffed with crab, and wrapped in bacon. twas amazing!
