Uncle Uncool Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 Went to the Chinese town to fetch some noodles at this take-away food store along with my better half yesterday night, when these Chinese fellas suddenly jumped me. I swear I didn't understand a thing of whut the blokes were sayin' to me while fists started swingin'. Thought I was just bein' mugged at first, 'cause anythin' made any sense at all. It all got awfully surreal to me after knockin' down one of the chaps, for I saw more 'n' more fighters would come out of the nearby stores to tangle with me. Soma the pukes even started poundin' on my car, sayin' I don't know whut to my girlfriend while she tried stoppin' 'em. After quite a long spell, this Chinese lady finally came out of her store to try 'n' stop the fight, before the bobbies arrived in the scene. So, this Chinese lady somehow explained to the bobbies whut had been that annoyed these Chinese lads; I just couldn't take credit to whut one of the bobbies would say it was: I was listenin' to 2112 by Rush on my car stereo. When I parked near the store 'n' left the car the tune "A Passage to Bangkok" began playin,' so the blokes said I made it on purpose when they heard that Chinese guitar sound on the intro... Mate! Believe me when I tell ye that I didn't know whether to laugh my arse inside out or cry. Could some Chinese people real feel offended by sumthin' like this...? Crikey... :wacko: Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Uncle Uncool Posted January 24, 2015 Author Share Posted January 24, 2015 I have never known Alex's guitar to have that effect on anyone... Ah, Mr Lifeson rocks! Me neither, 'n' it oughta be the other way round for any mortal man who listens to his guitar, me thinks. Got the car out 'n' went past the Chinese town once again yesterday, this time blastin' the intro for Sunrise in Eden, by Edenbridge. Nuthin' happens, although those same blokes were starin' at me inside the car. Thought 'bout goin' back again this night playin' the intro for Mr Roboto, by Styx, but then remembered it's Japanese... "Domo arigato, Mr. Roboto, Mata ah-oo hima de. Domo arigato, Mr. Roboto, Himitsu wo shiri tai..." :lol: Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Uncle Uncool Posted August 23, 2015 Author Share Posted August 23, 2015 Oh, I'm sure you could have stirred them up by stating "I know it's Japanese, but it's all the same, inn't?" :lol: Well, Alfie, dunno whether Japanese sounds quite the same as Chinese, phonetically speakin,' but y'know I kept on wonderin' the reason why these Chinese blokes reacted the way the did to the intro on A Passage to Bangkok... :blink: The followin' week after playin' Edenbridge on my car stereo, I (we) returned to the Chinese food take-away once again just to make another test. Me says "we" 'cause I went along with soma the fellas in my rugby team, not that we wanted to pick a fight or sumthin,' we only wanted to have some Chinese food after trainin.' Nay Chinese Heavy Metal bands that I'm acquainted with, so the next Asian band I knew of was Loudness. Played Thunder In The East 'n' nuthin' happened other than 'em lads starin' at us a tad curiously... :wacko: Meh, try playing this next time: Hmph... :unsure: Rat, albeit the subject of the song, I ain't sure those Chinese chaps might have felt ofended by this tune. I think yer tune was inspired by Jimmi Hendricks instead, judgin' by the way these fellas are clad in the video? To be honest to ye, at first I thought that whut the Chinese pukes found irritatin' in A Passage to Bangkok might have been the stereotypin' of the Chinese-like guitar on that tune, but nuthin' eva happened when I played those same guitar sounds in Sunrise in Eden. :wacko: I'm not entirely sure if this is a true story. It's wacky enough to be a scene from a Coen Brothers film. Bloody hell it is, bruh... Wish ya came down over here 'n' went playin' A Passage to Bangkok outside that Chinese take-away so as to prove it right to ye. Besides, I haven't eva found the Coen Bruhs' films amusin' at all; in fact, I'm more like Napoleon Dynamite, Drunk Punch Love, Rubin 'n' Ed, Bottle Rocket, The Cable Guy or Yahoo Serious Well, what nationality is your Girlfriend? My Sheila is from Cape Town, South Africa. It R*E*A*L puzzled to me this time she told me that she'd had a job interview - in English - 'n' that somethin' she said had shaken her interviewer rather badly. She related to me the job interview Word by Word; that her job experience in South Africa mainly consisted in workin' in a warehouse, classifyin' goods accordin' type, quality 'n' country of precedence. It all came down to me when I listened to the way my Sheila (an Afrikaner-speakin' broad), pronounced the word "warehouse" Go figure; the interviewer - in utter 'n' sheer astonishment - might have only guessed the kind of goods that were bein' catalogued by type, quality 'n' country of precedence in a place like that. Top that off, all of this happenin' while South Africa still clinged onto the Apartheid... This is the one to crank; (and meanwhile watch...) My Sheila just found that video to be awfully sexist. :P Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Uncle Uncool Posted August 30, 2015 Author Share Posted August 30, 2015 Today we've decided we're gonna go fetch some take-away food to that Chinese store once again. Me's thinkin' 'bout playin' Kyoto Song by The Cure to see whether this buzzes 'em blokes out there. Uh-huh... :unsure: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sebastijan Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 If you really wanna stir em up, play 'em this one :D Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Uncle Uncool Posted September 6, 2015 Author Share Posted September 6, 2015 Noooiiiceee tune, Seb! Ne'er heard of this band before. They're kinda Mötley Crüe wannabes, tho. :lol: I don't think any of the band members on that joint actually plays "they're" instruments, but the tune's sorta poundin,' raunchy some. If you really wanna stir em up, play 'em this one :D Aw, but sumthin' ya fellas might have ne'er gotten quite right is that my aim was ne'er to stir 'em Chinese blokes; rather than just (still) wonder whut was that highly bothered 'em 'bout A Passage to Bangkok Y'know me's puzzled still, 'cause last time I went over the Chinese take-away store 'n' played Kyoto Song to 'em, 'bout the only thing happenin' was a coupla Chinese lasses steppin' outside 'em lingerie store just to laugh at me like this: Nuthin' more. :blink: Learnt how to say "hello" in Chinese to see whether I could communicate with 'em alien folks, but it seemed it wasn't enough. One of 'em Bobbies appearin' on the first incident came to me say "Sonny, y'know, ya ain't gonna pick another fight with 'em blokes again without me takin' ye in this time, ya hear?" Booby knows how to speak some Chinese 'cause he's regularly assigned to patrol 'em Chinese neighbourhood, so I asked him to help me out with 'em enquiries, but he refused 'cause he thought my point was just flammin' 'em Chinese residents. Oh, incidentally; whut did I have to eat last time I was to that Chinese take-away store...? Chop Suey :rofl: Cheers 'em, Seb. Unc² Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jester292 Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 I find it hilarious that the irony of your first post may be lost on you. You couldn't understand what they were saying to you? I can't follow your typing for the most part UU2. But still, doesn't seem like a true story. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Uncle Uncool Posted September 13, 2015 Author Share Posted September 13, 2015 I find it hilarious that the irony of your first post may be lost on you. :blink: Well, ya certainly did lose me there, Jestor... You couldn't understand what they were saying to you? Nay... ---> <--- That's 'cause, as stated on my post, 'em attackin' blokes all of the sudden came poundin' on me babblin' an alien language I could only dream of masterin' one day if I tried rather hard. I can't follow your typing for the most part UU2. But still, doesn't seem like a true story. Yeh, sure ya can't, Jestor; one thing which I just can't fathom tho is that, at the same time, ya'd be able to affirm this story not to be true when ya said yerself not to have followed a single word I typed in the first place. But sure that makes a helluva lota sense to ye. ;) Cheers 'em all the same, Unc² Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RKic Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 the little "Chinese" sounding guitar riff in that song lasts all of 2 seconds. You must have terrible timing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Uncle Uncool Posted September 26, 2015 Author Share Posted September 26, 2015 the little "Chinese" sounding guitar riff in that song lasts all of 2 seconds. You must have terrible timing. ---> <--- Nay quite, Rick Quick (or whuteva yer nick may be). Said me was listenin' to 2112, that's both the name of a song 'N' an album by Rush as well. 2112 is a rather long song, which means I musta been listenin' to it durin' the whole trip from home to the Chinese town, yeh? As me stated on 'em first post, A Passage to Bangkok started playin' as I parked my vehicle outside the take-away food store. My sheila usually stays inside the car (windows lowered), 'cause she doesn't like her hair smell like all the fryin' stuff Chinese stores regularly reek of. One of the possible theories, Chinese blokes were starin' at my sheila first 'n' next, the little Chinese soundin' guitar happened. The more I try to find out 'bout it, the less I get it; my sheila slipped in a remark to me that she mighta stretched at the corners of her eyes while lookin' at the Chinese lads starin' back at her when those sounds happened. I don't know... Ne'er mind; went to fetch some noodles to that place last night, 'n' there was this skinny Chinese chap standin' outside the store who've been involved in the fightin' that very first night. He started to mumble some Chinese yapping at me that I couldn't have even dreamt 'bout decipherin'. But then he started mimickin' the grindin' on a guitar, like a guitar player does. I knew his act was aimed at me. Nay a fighter fella, so I just got near him 'n' began repeatin' just anythin' he'd say. We just laughed at each other for a spell. Chinese's a tough language. :lol: Y'know bad thing 'bout the Chinese is that they know where to punch in order to hurt ye. I'm a bulky bloke; 6 feet tall, a rugby player, so I'm used to the beatin.' But whut I suffer the most is turmoil just because (the language barrier, confusión, misunderstandin' or sheer stupidity). So when a large puke like this one comes out 'em store babblin': "Ya not can come to eat here the food again ne'er...!" Fella, me's pissed. :blink: Ya're just askin' for it. Will assemble my mates from my rugby team 'n' will have bruh Mirto (a bloke the size of Radike Samo or Tatafu Polota Nau), kick yer insolent arse to Thy Kingdom Come, y'know. Besides, how come these Chinese people are indeed able to communicate so randomly when situation suit 'em? Just thinkin' 'bout playin' A Passage To Bangkok all over again, but his time on purpose.
