He wanted a picture with all the Asian girls, although I think we are missing Naomi.
I don't think you should be outing Emerson like that.
I fail to detect Asian ancestry in the girl on the lower right, unless we're counting Armenia or something like that.
3: I know a couple of people with one Chinese parent and one British-Isles-flavored parent who look like that girl.
Ned don't know Asians, apparently. She looks half-Asian, and that counts, no?
You know what this thread needs? Gary Farber.
If Reza doesn't drive a black BMW, my world will be shattered.
Reza looks drunk -- which wouldn't be so weird if the women didn't all look sober.
3: Asian enough to feed the fetish.
I want to know if Reza's flashing a Persian gang sign. Is he part of the dreaded 187 Lurs?
if the women didn't all look sober.
I'm pretty sure that's "I Love You" in ASL. I think he's trying to say "Reza loves Asians".
Looking at the comment on the next picture, I can't help but to think Reza's handle a little, um ... odd. I mean, don't get me wrong, the resemblance is uncanny.
The Crips and the Blurds.
Marry me.
I like this picture, but couldn't they have given poor Reza a pseud?
IS there compared this to yet? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KKTDRqQtPO8
Is that guy on the right about to kiss Reza or spit beer in his hair?
I'd call the girls asian, broadly construed.
Broadly Construed would make a great drag queen name.
Holy crap. I was just drinking coffee and manged to splash hot coffee IN ME EYE. Owowow. OK now but I swear the universe wants me blind, goddamnit.
25: Hope you're ok. In reaction to something? I doubled over laughing at SB's "Gary Farber" comment and messed up a file by hitting my head on the keyboard.
The goggles, they do nothing.
OT, but amusing: Two days ago, the lock on the back door of my house broke, so yesterday we had someone to repair it. My wife, who was at home at the time the repairs were going on, received a phone call from a friend. From the phone conversation:
Friend: Hey, can you come over?
Wife: Not now, I've got a locksmith working on my back door.
Friend: Umm ... What do you mean by that?
re: 29
um, are you an ex-friend of that guy from that thread?
28. The goggles, they do nothing
Unless they are beer goggles, which would ultimately help Mr. Reza.
If Reza doesn't drive a black BMW, my world will be shattered.
What's wrong with a black BMW?
The girl in the foreground on the right looks preggers. I wonder if that means the mighty Persian empire is expanding?
Is Reza sporting wood, dressing left?
7: Reza doesn't drive a black BMW. Reza does, however, dream of the day he will drive a black BMW. Right now he drives a '92 civiv (blue, with primer spots) he got from his brother.
How do you know he's Iranian, ogged? He could be Bangladeshi, for example.
When will people stop with the stupid hand signs? I want to break fingers when I see that.
Asian girls are trained to smile on any occasion whatsoever. There are subtle nuances of meaning which are easy to miss. These smiles are best interpreted "maybe if we're really nice to him he'll leave quietly".
Unless he's a college professor and they're his students, which by the looks of it is the most likely explanation.
He could be Bangladeshi
No way is he Bangladeshi.
Jeebus. He's not Bangladeshi. Neither is he Irish.
You people and the splitting of the hairs.
Last summer I worked for a guy named Reza who wasn't Iranian -- he talked about his family leaving "after partition", so I assumed he was Pakistani or Bangladeshi, though I didn't ask. He didn't look terribly different from our Reza here in the photo. Of course, I may have dreamed all this up.
So...Mexican! Comity!
That probably means he was one of those Persian Indians that Apostropher now knows all about.
He doesn't look like Freddie Mercury to me. Maybe if he grew a big moustache.
Speaking of unclear racial categories.
Right now he drives a '92 civiv (blue, with primer spots) he got from his brother
Hm. I drive an '88 Civic, grey w/o primer spots but some rust, I got from my brother-in-law. I love compiling indicia of my supposed looserhood.
51: Jesus, am I the only person here who isn't Iranian?
I knew a Reza -- a TA of mine in college. I think he was Syrian, though; he spoke Aramaic and ranted quite entertainingly about some idiot movie (maybe End of Days?) where a plot point assumed Aramaic was a dead language.
Aramaic ranting is a real niche taste.
Only 9 movies in IMDb have Aramaic as a listed language. Interestingly, all but one were made in the last 9 years.
Before memory fades, what was the deal w/ the Aramaic in Passion of The Christ? I remember hearing scholars quoted on its silliness, but I never saw the movie and am perhaps disposed to think the worst.
I believe identifying a language as Aramaic was quite important in Fallen, but I don't know if its supposed deadness was mentioned. Surely, though, biblical Aramaic must be dead, in the same sense that Old English is dead?
The Aramaic Google is worth a look.
51: depends .... do you dream of driving a black BMW? That's, the crux, not the existence of a civic.
Of course. No I don't, and I'm not that young either, so it's probably not going to be assumed that I'm hoping to move up.
Actually, this car, with its vtec "B" engine and 5-speed, is very quick and handy. I frequently spin the tires w/o intending to.
If anyone is still wondering, the girl in the lower right is Swiss and Japanese. The girl in the foreground is her sister and is not pregnant.
- Girl with Red Streak in Her Hair
Er, I'm knackered, and for some reason I mixed up foreground and background in my head. Maybe now my comment makes more sense.
