It’s Friday…as if you didn’t already know you cheeky monkey!
(Hey British people, what does that mean anyway?)
Same setup as Pt One of the post for the story behind Jack Handey….
Now when you read below, let me say this: Jack Handey is supposed to be funny, so I didn’t have him comment directly or seriously on any of the racist barbs thrown in the thread. I think my partners in crime felt the same way, because they did not either.
Let me also say this on behalf of Jack and anyone else with a sense of humor…it’s a good thing we have different races on this great big gas ball we call Earth. That’s what gives us uniqueness in culture, food, dress, speech, government, and anything else you can think of…it’s what makes us interesting as people.
Guess what?
Just because someone points out something about another race, doesn’t make you a racist…it makes you observant and aware. It’s OK to notice different things about other people, if not we will all be the same…and that would be kind of boring.
It’s only a problem when you hate them for being different.
Anyway, there are plenty of other blogs and forums to have a debate on racism, so let’s get to the funny:
Once again the joke app gets me in trouble. I post on my page:
Red circle is Kenny making some magic, blue circle refers to yesterday post: Jack Handey In Trouble Again Pt One (Warning: Side Boob).
Here is the Jack Handey post in full:
Let’s dissect this a little bit:
First I think the sentence: I’m not Chinese asshole…sounds like your making fun of the way a Chinese person speaks. Say it in your head like a stereo-typical old Chinese man would say it in a black and white movie.
See?
Second why is OK to be a racist towards people from the South, but not anyone else. No one ever gets upset over redneck jokes, including rednecks. Speak of anyone else though, and people go through the roof.
Since rednecks are so tolerant, Jack tried to smooth things out, but I think it got lost in the shuffle.
I also think it’s funny that people who got so upset about the Chinese joke resorted to cutting down women.
And let’s not forget the old stand by of blaming everything on having a small penis. When in doubt blame the world’s problems on small penises, I always say…
Ok, I honestly never have said that before…
Good old Jack ended it with a penis joke.
With my apologies to the gay community. You know I love you guys…
…did that sound gay?
Quick setup:
Kenny from my old High School had setup a Jack Handey tribute fanpage on facebook. He added me as a admin a month or two back, which was cool…it has about 5000 and some change followers. Not bad. So there is three of us running the page: Kenny, Tom, and myself.

This is part one of how Jack stirred some things up.
First Jack got my friend Mike in trouble:
I originally posted as my personal status update that I found on a joke app:
Did you notice that I made my profile picture pink for Breast Cancer Awareness month?
Kudos to Paula, BUUbs is funny!
So Kenny decides to post this on the Jack Handey page…as a graphic:
And there was more, but all in all good responses…lots of boob puns.
Of the 22 shares of this graphic, one of them is mine back to my page, which my friend Mike responds to….
Mike and I went to High School together, hadn’t seen him in a million years, but reconnected through Facebook. Now Mike is a generally good guy, will give you the shirt off his back even if you hated him. That’s just the type of person he is….but his women folk got a little upset at him for his responses….which were not bad at all. I would have said much worse.
The last two word bubbles are kind of scrunched. They say: “My feeble attempt to help”, and the one under that says: “Nope, going to one up me…”.
Poor Mike…don’t worry, women are the only species I know that get upset when you find them sexy or not sexy all in the same minute.
It does make me appreciate my cool wife a little more.

It’s October, which means it’s time for EPCOT’s International Food and Wine Festival. If you have never been, it’s a celebration of food, wine, and beer from various countries and regions of the world.
This year it runs from September 30 to November 13.
The world showcase (that’s the part with the countries) is setup with booths featuring two to nine dollar tastings of traditional foods and drinks. In addition there is live cooking demonstrations, wine seminars, multi-course dinners, and live entertainment. This year includes such acts as Gin Blossoms, Big Bad Voodoo Daddy, and Boys II Men. Ok, maybe not current acts, but hey, it’s free with the price of admission.
Insider tip: Going during the day is usually less crowded.
Countries and Regions represented:
Australia – Brazil – Argentina – Caribbean – Mexico – Scandinavia – China – South Korea – South Africa – Germany – Poland – Italy – Singapore – Japan – New Zealand – Morocco – Portugal – Belgium – France – Ireland – Canada – Greece – Hawaii
The offers are too vast to list everything, but here is a sample of what’s going on this year:

Insider Tip: Anyone who has been before will recommend you hit Canada for the Cheese Soup, and my wife recommends the Cosmo Slush from France.
My pick in taste and value ($8) is the beer flight from the Craft Beers pavilion. You get 3 6oz beers from these choices:
We chose the Berry Weiss (which tasted more like a wine cooler than a beer, but good), Purple Haze (similar to the Berry Weiss but less sweet, more beer taste), and the Sunset Ale (beer, nothing special).
You’ll need at least $50 to do the Festival right.
