I purpose that everybody just CHILL OUT.
Nobody's a racist around here (as far as one can tell). In fact, in prime Berkeley fashion, this is a very PC site.
For all you know, IP/Eve/Clio/TA... could be Asian herself (or maybe the last Passerby is), in which case it is legal for her to even make fun of Asianhood, which she most certainly does not!
I refer you to the famous dentist-converted-to-Judaism-so-that-he-can-tell-Jewish-jokes-without-being-politically-incorrect (link).

For the record, I'm the "not racist" friend... I wrote it the way I did, to be as descriptive as possible -- everything I knew about the situation/conversation I wrote down. If I'd happen to notice any of their eye coloring, or
if I could remember what any of them were wearing
I would have listed that too.

Hey! I put a comment here about "Poo Bingo" yesterday-- but now it doesn't seem to be here! What the--?
...

Hmm, Jon said that something similar happened to him on an earlier thread-- not seeing something that appeared later. Maybe it's just some weird thing like that. I swear there were nine comments here last time I checked, but now, excluding this one, there's eight.

I wouldn't think that it got censored-- it was kinda gross, but pretty tame, I thought. Nah, that can't be it. But I hit "Refresh" about four times, and nothing happened.

Oh, well. I'll just check back later to see if the "phantom comment" has returned-- if not, I suppose I could re-create it.

Now I'll spend all day contemplating "Poo Bingo"-- thanks a lot.

You know, when I read that, I just took that as a general piece of wisdom-- you know, "I don't look for corn in my poo, I don't reach into the garbage disposal without wearing gloves, and I don't spit in the wind..."

Dammit, I knew someone would get pissed if I left it like that.
The race is noted because this one was actually given to me by a friend, and I copied and pasted it from the email, that's the way he phrased it.
He's not racist and neither am I, I don't know why he noted the race of the overheard. Maybe it's because it's a little unusual to see large groups of just one ethnicity around here... I would have thought it was equally unusual if they were _all_ white, or _all_ indian, etc.

So my question is...why was it necessary to note that the two girls were Asian and that they were walking in a group of Asians?

Archived comment by Joe Odom's Pal:
Have you ever gotten those annoying doctor questions about the color and content of your 'poo'?
'So how's the broccoli looking this morning?'

I've actually had a related discussion with a friend. She was all in favor of bathroom intimacy between lovers (and I don't mean the bath). I'm not into it myself.

I think in general, the less you have to do with your own feces (or anyone's feces for that matter), the better. Unless, of course, you have personality, 'cause personality goes a long way.

Heh ... this reminds me of two things. The first was a comedian who did this bit about how long corn sticks around in they digestive tract. "Corn? When the hell did I eat corn?" (scratching his head and looking down at an invisible toilet) You had to be there, but trust me, it was hysterical.

Second, has anyone ever seen the movie "Surf Ninjas"? It was a really cheesey movie starring Ernie Reyes Jr., but it also had Leslie Nielsen and Tone Loc in it (and a *very* young Rob Schneider). Anyway, Tone Loc plays a cop who ends up in handcuffs at one point in the movie. When he later shows up *out* of the handcuffs, they ask him how he got them off, and the rest of the conversation goes like this (I'm paraphrasing here):

Tone: "I swallowed the key last Tuesday."
Ernie: "How'd you know you were going to need the key?"
Tone: "I swallow the key *every* Tuesday."

Hehehe! This was his second best line in the movie. The first being: "Brothers don't surf!" =^)

Archived comment by Mike:
Um, I do. Every day. Even when I haven't HAD any corn.

Corn is good as a sort of "digestive tract marker." You eat the corn, and then check to see how long afterwards it shows up in the toilet. That sort of thing is good to know, you know, should you some day need to smuggle rubies across a border, or keep a key safe for a few days.

...

What?

...

Come on! SURELY I'm not the only one who worries about these things!

First of all, I agree with you Mark, I don't want to know if (and why) one would know about the other's bathroom habits.

Secondly, why would they even be having a converstation like this?

... unless they began by talking about one of Mr. Hanky's little offspring?

(gleugghhhh)

Archived comment by Mark:
First off, I'm still laughing at this one. Second.....scary that the second girl KNEW that the first girl didn't look for corn in her poo. Certain things a friend shouldn't know.
