    Indeed, that was a huge factor

    Shaolin practitioners know. Tamo Cane. That's why I've worked so hard over the years to bring it over. I've already written three articles on it, and now you force my hand to squeeze out another. Shaolin - it never stops pushing you.

    Yes, Jah!

    That was the humble I who stood at the gate checking wristbands when you came through with your Bredren that morning.

    Admittedly I look a little different without the locks and beard these days, but... DREAD UNDERCOVAH - SEEN?

    If they axed you, Gene, I think they'd be dealing with a lot of upset forum members, and customers .

    My boss just talked to me about my racism.

    Seriously. I mean that I'm serious that he did that, not that he was very serious when he did that. He understood.

    Being your boss is Chinese, we assume he wanted you to be more racist, I mean it IS the "middle kingdom" and all....

    My boss was born in America

    His heritage is half Chinese, just like mine.
