Today marks the end of my fifth year in Korea.  Or the start of my sixth.  Or the beginning of the last.  Or all of those.

So while I have no great insights to offer up on this momentous occasion, how about a special tribute to a popular actress, Han Chae Young, as the Yoja of the Week.

Oddly enough, I understand she married some rich guy and now lives in America.  And I live in Korea.  What are the odds?

Oh, and if you missed the link above you can watch Lady Han in a cute little yogurt commercial.  Ain’t she sweet?

Hey, when I say Trojan what immediately comes to mind?  So what’s up with this crap?

The University of Southern California Trojans have prevailed in a trademark suit in which the University of South Carolina Fighting Gamecocks sought to use the letters “SC” on baseball team clothing.

Apparently winning wasn’t enough for the Trojans’ attorney, who took the opportunity to talk trash:

“[Edelman] also suggested that the letters were more deservedly linked to the Trojans’ warrior image than to “a goofy little chicken.”

“I think they wanted to move away from the gamecock logo,” Edelman said of the school in the South. “Something that is totally understandable.”

Warrior image my ass.  Cheap ass condoms that are unworthy to sheath a genuine ‘Cock from South Carolina…
You know what though, that west coast school has Lane Kiffin now and I suppose that’s punishment enough.

And by the way, the University of South Carolina was founded in 1801, 49 years before California achieved statehood.  So, we all know who we mean when we say THE USC.

I’m sure many Obama voters share the sentiments expressed in this comment regarding the Scott Brown Senate victory:

I’m so happy voters are starting to show some sense. I voted for Obama because I was disgusted with the arrogance of Bush-Cheney, and have long hoped for a change in the way politics is played out in Washington. Yes, I was duped. I voted for a more slickly packaged product of the same old Chicago machine. Obama has cynically broken all his promises, thinking his coalition of bleeding hearts, border jumpers, reverse-racists and crooked politicians could sustain the illusions of his agenda. Perhaps we will yet see some change; if not, then a one-term presidency seems likely.
