So what's with this shit?

Some fella sitting opposite me in this internet cafe just hawked one up and spat it on the floor.
I thought they were bad in Korea, but over there it was mainly old people who hawked up lugers in public. But over here they're all at it.

I propose a Beijing Olymipcs hawking championships. These fuckers need a bigger audience.

    I tell ya, you just walk down the street over here and someone will just start hawking one in front of you, and then spit it on the pavement where you're walking. It's accepted behaviour over here. Fucking weird.

    OK... Now my stomach is turning.

    I've wondered why so many guys at my fave Chinese places had those.

    Thought they all just dug their drugs.

    Oh yuck........

    This surprises me...when I was in Bejing in high school (granted, it was a long time ago), one of the kids in our group got a ticket from an undercover policeman for spitting on the sidewalk.

    'In preparation for the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, the Chinese government said Wednesday it would introduce a new code of conduct for its citizens: no slurping of soup, no trying to push to the front of lines and, most of all, absolutely no spitting.'


    'Millions of brochures are being sent out to persuade individuals that spitting is unhygienic, paper sanitary bags with the Chinese symbol for "mucus" are being distributed on public transport for people to spit into and anyone found spitting onto the sidewalk will have to either clean up the mess or cough up an on-the-spot fine of 50 yuan, the equivalent of about €5.'

    This thread promised so much from the title...

    I was expecting tobacco spitting...but with Asian people instead.

    I'm still going with they love their coke!

    I'd rather ask them if they know where I can get a line and hope they respond positively.


    NOT THAT I WANT COKE!!! But I'd rather think that was their vice... Not.... ahhhhh... yuck.

    This is funny. Are you Irish? When I first visited Ireland 15 years ago, I remembered thinking spitting was the national hobby or something :p
    ... and the will to show I will always be better than before.

    Thanks. Hurling. Imminent.

    I always go to the take outs where you can see them doing the cooking.

    That has to count for something. RIGHT?!?!

    Yeah. But then you move.

    I always thought he must love him some damn blow.

    Ah, The guys a coke head.I'm sure of it.

    AND... No one try to tell me he's not!

    You guys don't even know him. ;)

    This thread has the best title ever.
    "I remember one night at Muzdalifa with nothing but the sky overhead, I lay awake amid sleeping Muslim brothers and I learned that pilgrims from every land — every colour, and class, and rank; high officials and the beggar alike — all snored in the same language"

    I don't and here's why: If Mr. Long Nails is using his nail for blow, what are the odds that he will leave any residue that will make it into your meal?!? Slim to none. That shit's too expensive. On the other hand (or pinky for this discussion) if he's digging for gold I wouldn't be surprised at all if a couple of 24 karat flakes ended up in your Moo Goo Gai Pan. In fact. after reading this thread, I'm starting to fear just what the "Goo" in the Moo Goo is!!! :eek:
