“Attitudes and Feelings, both desirable and sometimes secretive” . . . great title and Ms. Long Bong . . . I died laughing to see that name printed on the gravestone. This is really funny if one knows any Korean.

Great link. Thanks ^^
Check Bobby Lee in the ‘Average Asian’ skits on youtube. Heck, check all of his skits. He’s pretty funny.
