Margaret Cho also said Calloway ignored her because he didn’t want to sexually harass two Asian women at the same time.

Maybe Kurt Suzuki doesn't count as Asian?

You bumped this thread just to say that?

No wonder you used to be called Bumpy.

Michael Scott also advises against having two Asians on the same team. . . unless you always have Sharpies handy.

lol @ Hofstra.

it's the UCR of the east coast

So I clicked on this thread, wondering why it went so many pages.

And as I got to page 3 or so, I went "wait.... is this the hofstra thread?"

And of course, here it is.

Id never heard of Hofstra before this, but afterwards, Id read about it several times, and always laughed.

To the point that when i see thread titles on here that say "hoornsta" i always assume the joke is back on, but then let down that its just some guys name who wrote the article

Yep, this thread is Hofstra's origin story. If only we had access to the old AngelsWin server's threads. A lot of running jokes origin threads there.

Used to be?

Bill is to the online undergrad degree at Hofstra as Keith is to the meaningless School of Agriculture at Cornell.

Anybody else remember Olbermann doubling down five times on his CORNELL!! Degree??

So, so embarrassing.

if you have two minutes to waste, listen to this white guy from Anaheim mocking the japanese back in early 50's. this is why Ryu would not sign here

 

 

I heard that he didn’t want to sign with the Angels because of Mickey Rooney’s performance in Breakfast At Tiffany’s.

And the article basically says the same thing as the article that spawned this thread.

Maybe Arte was concerned about congestion in the stadium parking lot after games.
