   I recommend expats start wearing “Need more Cowbell” T-shirts as a smug ironic inside joke statement about the whole beef controversy. It would be a quintessentially expat-ish thing to do. Don’t attempt to explain this pop culture reference to dumbfounded, confused natives lest they somehow get it and then try to heap animal dung on you.

   I heard that when you’re home alone, if you turn off all the lights in your house and lock the doors, and you look in a mirror, and say “Mad cow disease” three times, that cow will come out of the mirror and squirt you with infected spinal fluid.

   My friends says it totally happened to someone she knows, and I don’t think it’s true, but I’m too afraid to find out.

   Seriously.

   I’m pretty sure the fight scenes were lifted straight out from the film Kung Pow, enter the fist. A kung fu spoof.

   The guy in the video looked pretty caucasoidal, and he was fighting a dairy cow.

   Right, the scenes are from Kung Pow. Not to be confused with the upcoming movie Kung Fu Panda (which I thought looked dumb til I saw the voices in it are Jack Black and Jackie Chan).

   I thought this headline was funny:

   “South Korean INTERNET GEEKS trigger panic over US ‘tainted beef’ imports”

   Well, they may not like US beef, but it seems their taste for copied American intellectual property hasn’t waned.
