It doesn't pay to be Asian and not knowing how to use chopsticks...

about Sticks of Shame

I must be one of those rare Asians who suck at using chopsticks.

I'd buy this if I am staying in Japan.

If I buy this, my fellow Chinese-Singaporeans will only look at the tee in puzzlement since we can't read Japanese. :)
And then they'd have to tilt their heads trying to read the English translation. :)

And then they'd might be mistake me to be a Japanese.

Yeah, I'm Chinese and I'm not all that good at using chopsticks either x.X I prefer the fork.

My relatives made fun of me when I went back.

Can't use it well, coz back home, we use forks & spoons for our meals. I only use the chopsticks when we eat out. And I guess, part of the reason for the inability to use the chopsticks well is coz my parents are not very good at them either. :P

You should see me when I use chopsticks when eating dimsum or things that are tiny & round. I end up being frustrated and usually end up using my hands. :P

in Taipan I saw a man eating potato chips with chopsticks.

NatySpaghetti on Aug 23 '06 at 2:07am

mmm poteato chips..........mmmmmmmmmmm...*drewl*

For shame. Bad asian!

For the life of me, I can't use chopsticks to pick up slimy things, like Eggplant or Choi Sum. Not going to happen. I should buy the shirt and only use it when I'm eating slimy asian food. Yes. it will be totally worth it.

I'm also a Chinese-Singaporean (living in Europe) who can't use chopsticks. :O Well, I can if I really want to, but it takes me twice as long to finish my food.

Jumbogumbo: I dunno which is scarier. The guy in the aluminium-foil tee or the guy/girl in that weird costume.

mlloyd on Aug 29 '06 at 7:47am

avalanchelynn on Aug 29 '06 at 8:46am

chopsticks are fun to use :P i can pick shelled peanuts with them hehehe...well, i guess it must come from my mom who used to enjoy taking part in using chopsticks to pick wet marbles from a bowl and win for having picked the most hahahaha...congrats mother :P
