Chopstick Tournament


So I never made a post on my birthday bonanza which was a major success! Just a few comments because I will admit that the subject is getting a little old. Of course everyone looked great and had some hairy fur going on. But the unexpected form of entertainment of the night was putting together the travel chopsticks that my mom gave me for Christmas. This was a game of speed and precision. I took on several opponents in this test of true Asian intuition and, of course, blew everyone out of the water. I attribute my abilities not to previous knowledge of the chopstick design (with which my opponents were unfamiliar), but instead to my full Asian blood!! I took down the half-Asian (Maggie, Kim declined to take part) easily and actually, John was the only one who put up a decent fight. I don't like to brag, but seeing as this is merely a testament to the natural skills provided to me by my ethnic background, I'm just stating facts. You may be wondering about this since only half of my Asians use chopsticks, but you're forgetting that the other half are natural born engineers so obviously I have the advantage. Here is one match that Kim so aptly recorded (note the rousing rendition of Hava Nagila in the background as well as my fur yarmulke):
