Cleaning out the pic folder

No, I'm not even close to blogging again regularly.




Boob job or no?

Regardless, I'm happy with the outcome.










I swiped this next picture from another Kblog. I'd link to it, but then, that would require more effort than I can currently summon. It's a Korean based blogger who takes a lot of pictures. Figure it out.

It just seemed weird that there were no comments on it. I love it.















It's good to be the photographer.




Read the caption at the bottom of the following picture (click to enlarge). Perhaps Lee Byung Hun's alleged fiancee should have looked into this before giving up the milk for free.





















Korean girls or Japanese girls? Debate among yourselves, fellow hapless victims of le fièvre jaune. My studied take on the issue is that Korean girls are generally prettier, but I have heard recently from a friend that Japanese girls are more likely to give unsolicited rim jobs, so there's a factor I hadn't previously considered.

OK. maybe it would be best for everyone if I stopped typing now and went back into hibernation mode.

Dokdo update

It seems that Korea's campaign to promote Dokdo's absolute Coreanness has finally gotten global attention. Here's a picture of a bus I saw in England last week.

I am too pissed off for words.

Photo Fun, Spring 2007

Kept these photos for a while waiting for a good chance to use them. But methinks now's the time just to clear out out my picture file. I hope you find them as sparkling as I have.

The Party Pooper heartily endorses any English language product touted by either of these language education whor professionals.
Learn English AND laugh at silly foreigners at the same time; what could be better?

Isaac Durst, bold pioneer in the field of edutainment, has a new book out which is sure to be super good. I hear it has lots of pictures of him in gorilla suits and whatnot, so you know a whole lotta good learnin's goin' on here. So funny!

Robert has an even more super program that promises students will speak English as well as Robert speaks Korean in only 90 days (Yes, he's fluent). The secret is to have students memorize 1000+ English sentences. Who'd uv thunk it?!  Simply amazing! He's been running this scam program for several years now; I'm sure you all have run into the thousands of his satisfied customers who now speaking English so good.

I was surprised that this photo didn't get more coverage in the press. It may appear that George is taking advantage of Jong-il, but I think it's clear that Jong-il is loving every minute of it. You have to understand that it's Korean culture not to appear to be giving it away too easily.

Update: I have just received word that this image might not be authentic. I'll look into it.

This is a picture I took recently that I brought to my photography class for peer review. Generally the feedback was good: lighting was appropriate, the main object was slightly off center, and the general ambiance and mood of the event was well captured. My instructor still thinks I have a long way to go, but he says my work shows substantial progress in comparison to my bukkake photos from last week.

Day in Photos: Fall 2006

Condoleezza Rice, reacting to news that South Korea has no intention of doing jack shit in response to the North Korean nuclear weapon test.

Condoleezza Rice and Noh Mu-hyun share some casual conversation. Here, Rice is telling the Korean President that no, she hasn't had a chance to hear any Korean rap or hip-hop yet, and neither has she ever been told that she looks like Whoopi Goldberg or the 'skinny one' from the Bubble Sisters.

President Noh Moo-hyun, right, talks with Japanese Foreign Minister Taro Aso about the North Korean nuclear crisis. Noh is seen talking about the importance of continuing to send money to North Korea to keep the lines of dialogue open, while Aso wonders if he has ever seen a bigger moron in all of his life.

Chung Mong-koo, left, chairman
of Hyundai-Kia Automotive Group, cheers with Sonny Perdue, governor of
Georgia, in Atlanta, Ga., Friday, ahead of a groundbreaking ceremony
for Kia Motors’ all-new U.S. plant in West Point, Georgia.

With Hyundai continuing it's Kumsan money funneling project to North Korea, consumers can feel good knowing that with every Hyundai purchased, Kim Jong-il's despotic regime is that much more resistant to sanctions. Keep buying Korean products America! Support our allies!

Does Ban Ki-moon have what it takes to be the next incompetent and irrelevant leader of the defunct UN? Our website research team says yes! Already billions of people from around the world could care less what he has to say about world issues such as nuclear weapon proliferation, looming civil war in Iraq, and poor refereeing in the Swiss-Korean 2006 World Cup match.

Michelle Wie is among the 20 highest earning athletes in the world, which is pretty good for someone who has never actually achieved anything (maybe she should start hanging out with Paris Hilton?). Must be her Asian ideal B cup boobs.

Hordes of young Korean lesbian lovers take to the mountains to enjoy the fall scenery.

And there's certainly nothing wrong with that.

At least Michelle Wie at 16 y.o. got a few years to go from B to C.

You're pennis is still at a pubarescent stage.

Funny thing about Chung Mong-koo, chairman of Hyundai-Kia Automotive Group,is that the fucker is out on bail right now. THAT'S RIGHT!

I have been trying to get Rice to run for president ever since I read a news report that said when she came to Korea in early 2003, she busted the South Korean government's balls in a manner that was spot on how they should have been busted:

It was reported that the SK team was explaining about the huge anti-US orgy that had been going on for months and that was widing down. They said if the US in Korea had only done this or that or this and that and so on, the orgy would have been much smaller. The USFK and Embassy guys tried to explain they had, in fact, done each of those things, but this was dismissed, as usual, as not having been done "in the right way" or with the proper "sincerity."

Anyway, Rice is reported to have cut to the chase-

She asked the Korean team if they knew the names of the two girls who were killed by the armored vehicle. "Of course" they said they did.

Then she is said to have asked them if they knew the names of any of the South Korean sailors who were killed in the West Sea Clash that happened a few short weeks before the tank accident....

The conversation came to an end on the subject of why the anti-US orgy grew into what it did.....

I would LOVE to have a video of that conversation!!!

'gay friend': For the record, I did not mean to imply that there was anything wrong with B cup size. We here at the Partypooper encourage and appreciate diversity. As for your other sentence, it wasn't particularly comprehensible. Perhaps you should refrain from attempting to use words beyond 1 syllable for a while (or at least learn how to use a dictionary). Work on 'you're' grammar more as well.

USinKorea: I thought Rumsfield was the man who nailed the 'Woori' crew with those lines. Could be wrong though. Anyway, I wonder if it was reported in the Korean newspapers.

The entire Uridang, a party consisting of North Korean sleeper agents, political hacks, assholes and retards needs to be voted out of power and replaced by a either the Hanaradang or the Minjunodongdang.

Party Pooper, I think you're gay friend was slamming your athletic ability. I think he meant "Your tennis is still at a putrescent stage!"

Posted by: Jenn | October 22, 2006 at 02:55 AM

i admire your work double-P, but your characterization of wie isn't fair and balanced like we all aspire to be, but only fox news achieves.

the fact that she hasn't won an lpga tournament yet doesn't mean she hasn't accomplished anything. far from it. take a look at her wiki page, but the fact that she has six top-5 finishes (three this year) in lpga majors in the last 4 years, and is currently ranked 10th in the world rankings while playing in only a third of the events that others play says a lot about her accomplishments thus far.

who knows if she'll reach tiger-like domination status, but it's a given that she'll start winning tournaments, and soon. a golfer doesn't consistently pull top-5's without eventually putting it together and getting the breaks to win one.

let me suggest that you've fallen into the korean "gold medal equals success and silver equals failure" mentality, and that's not a crowd you'd like to be associated with.

okaii........so first of all you think two korean girls holding hands is les??? Then you have seriuos issues. (Or I'm I just a humorless dork who is making too much out of this? Really hard for me to say.) If you are best friends with someone you treat them like your sister, so basically your saying that when you were little and if you had a brother or sister and held hands with him or her you were gay. (Ok, you're clearly not saying that, sorry for the real stupid analogy). NIce...You really made a great statement. And also what's up with talking shit bout michelle wie? I mean you must be really into korean girls if you search on the interenet just to find which boob size she has. Or is that just another silly joke that dumb people take out of proportion? Hmmm...maybe I shouldn't have skipped my Zoloft today.

Photo Fun: 2006 Spring Collection

Photos courtesy of Korea Times and Chosunilbo. The best damn newspapers in the whole muddah-fuggin woild. As always, click the pictures to enlarge (especially the ones with hot chicks)

Lee Seon-hwa, left, and Ahn Shi-hyun of South Korea, embrace Saturday
on the 18th hole after the final round of Takefuji Classic LPGA golf
tournament at Las Vegas County Club in Las Vegas.

Suddenly, women's sports in Korea just got a whole lot more interesting.

 

"A protestor holds a banner denouncing Japan’s plan to send a research
vessel into Korea’s exclusive economic zone near Dokdo in the East Sea,
in front of the Japanese Embassy in Seoul on Monday. The banner reads,
‘Dokdo is Korean Territory.’/Yonhap"

I guess the bee guy was busy that day.

Japan, look at these representatives of the Korean nation. Are you REALLY sure you want that bird shit covered rock so bad? My money is on Korea on this one. They just want it more.

Pretty girls. Almost makes you overlook the fact that this is one of the worst names ever for a car ("New Carens").

Joel, looking for a new car?

Street campaign: Shinhan Bank employees hold a street campaign
to get closer to customers in central Seoul, Saturday.

Yeah, I feel closer to you guys already. Guess there wasn't much bankin' stuff to be doing today? Seriously, who the hell thinks up shit like this? My bank in Korea is Choheung, which is merging with these clowns. I think this is a sign that it's time to change banks...

"A Korean soldier sings with a Kurdish orphan during a ceremony in the
northern Iraqi city of Irbil on Thursday."

Oh, to think of all stories of the horrors of war these brave Korean soldiers will have to tell. They went to Iraq as boys, but they will return to Korea as the manliest of men. The Korean vets who survived the Korean war or served in Nam have nothing on them.

Speaking of the new breed of manly men in Korea, here are some students putting on makeup during a class at
Hangyang (Hanyang?) University. "More and more colleges are
organizing such classes exposing students to unusual experiences." 

Hate to think of what one has to do in that kind of class for extra credit. It's nice to see that college kids these days are finally learning something that will help them out later in life. I'm afraid to find out what classes were axed to make room for these kinds of important courses...

Park Hyo-jung shows his
picture taken after his first nose plastic operation in 2002. Park had 24
procedures on his body
over more than three years to improve his appearance, including
resurgeries after injury, adding dimples on his cheeks, and
removing blemishes and chest hair, transforming his former droopy face
into his current studly visage.

'Studly visage?' If I didn't know better, I'd say this Korean reporter is being a bit sarcastic. Anyway, I'm sure just another 24 operations will turn this guy into Lee Junki, the role model for all gender confused men in this country. I don't know, maybe he just needs to get laid once and this obsession will go away.

Models show off football-themed clothes at Lotte Department Store in Seoul on Wednesday

Because gay guys like soccer too...

Speaking of soccer, here's a Korean commercial for ice cream, parodying the 2002 World Cup official Byron Moreno giving star Italian player Totti a red card, a key turning point in the game.

There is no mention of whether or not the actor also parodies Moreno receiving a thick envelope full of 'thank you letters' for his services rendered to the Korean team.


Farm stay: Foreigners staying in South Korea make straw rope
Sunday in a village in Pochon, Kyonggi Province, where they
participated in a ‘farm stay’ program.

I hear that this is exactly as much fun as it looks in the picture. Really, give up your next weekend and try it out.

Aspiring Journalists: Hundreds of students listen attentively to
presentations in a job fair jointly hosted by major broadcasting and
newspaper companies at Yonsei University.

This particular lecture was titled, "How not to let standards of journalism interfere with being a patriotic Korean."

A member of the Korean Confederation of Trade
Unions lies in a ditch after being pushed off the road by riot police
during an attempt to block delivery trucks headed for the site of a new
base for the U.S. Forces.

For the record, I condemn this fascist state that oppresses the working man. In no way whatsoever do I derive any pleasure from this. Yes, I might have giggled when I first saw it, but in my culture we smile and giggle when we see upsetting images (it's how we cope). And not once did I ever say that I hoped that for at least 30 minutes every time this guy tried to crawl back out of the muddy ditch the riot police pushed him back down. That would be mean and insensitive. And that's not what this blog is about.

By the way, why is a member of a North Korean stooge trade union protesting the moving of the US army base?

Finally, some art I hope to proudly show on this blog often. The picture on the right courtesy of the big Ho, and the statue on the left most likely sculpted by one of Kevin's ancestors on his mother's side.

1984 Forever

North Korea celebrates 60 years of Glorious Rule of Kim il Sun and his runty successor. Coincidently, 60 years is about how long we'll have wait for the Sunshine Policy to finally result in real changes in North. Patience my dear friends, patience.

G.O.D. is (finally) dead
Korean pop group sensation G.O.D. announces retirement.
And there was much rejoicing...

Hangeul Day organizers give away Hangeul T-shirts in exchange for English language T-shirts. [If I owned a single shirt with English on it, I would have been there myself. Wonder if anyone traded in a 'Be the Reds" T-shirt...]

Reason 217 not to fly with any Korean airline.

Korean airline flight attendants (presumably female)

Who let the dogs out?

Jeon Ji Hyeon at the premier of her latest movie (Daisy something or the other).
It's been five years since she's been in a movie that hasn't flopped miserably, leaving analysts to wonder just how long she can keep her career afloat based solely on the talent of her ass [I give it 3 more years]

Robbed.

On the left is the South Korean runner up in Miss Asia pageant, standing next to the 'winner.' I guess the cross-dressing drag queen look is in vogue these days.

Nerd Fight!

And you didn't think there was anything more boring to watch than a Taekwondo match...

Apparently the embodiment of evil himself Apollo Ono won some ice skating competition in South Korea.
Strange, but I couldn't find any photo of the competition in the major Korean media outlets other than this one...

Ahh, Korean Airlines, the only airline I have ever flown and actually felt in danger. I remember flying from Kimpo to Manila one time and not a single member of the cabin staff could speak word of English. The pilot handled the 747 like an F-4 and the landing was a three bouncer. On return to Korea my baggage was soaked from having been left on the tarmac and had a big rip in it. To top things off, the rep in the airport was an asshole and said "we don't care if foreigners fly us. We are for Koreans."

Talk about customer service!

Photo News 2005

Pres. Roh and and his "Woori" friends walk to a meeting followed by Opposition Leader Park Geun-hye (walking a modest 5 steps behind the men, like all proper Korean women should). Notice Park Geun-hye checking out Rep. Moon Hee-sang, chairman of the ruling Woori Party. I bet she's wondering how many North Korean families could be fed just on the meat in Moon Hee-sang's head alone.

Lovely ties, don't you think? They say that behind every pink tie in Korea is a pot-bellied middle-aged ajoshi who desperately hopes that said tie will make him look more youthful, thus giving him a chance to score with his hot 21-year-old secretary.

South Korea’s U-20 football players preparing for a big match with Nigeria.  "South Korea are placed at
the bottom of Group F with one loss."

"Placed at the bottom of Group F." That can't be good psychologically.

Daewoo Group founder Kim Woo-choong arriving at the Supreme Prosecutors’ Office building to face charges of accounting fraud.  Poor guy. His life is going to be hell for the next year or so until he gets his customary full pardon.
Note how that pink tie makes Kim (age 68) look like a spritely 67 year old.

President Roh looks on as former President Kim Dae-jung spews out some BS about how wonderful life has become since he paid Kim Jeong-il a shit-load of money to shake his hand and take pictures in Pyeongyang.
Pres Roh looks a little pouty to me.  I would be too if I couldn't get out of the shadow of a failure like Kim Dae-jung.   

"LG Electronics executive vice
president Nam Sang-geon, right, and company employees... work at a charity
bazaar in front of LG Twin Towers in Yoido,
central Seoul, Saturday. LG Electronics employees donated some 40,000
items and were forced to work err....volunteered as one-day salesclerks."

I know some LG employees, and believe me they had as much of a choice to give up their weekend as a North Korean has when voting in the DPRK general elections. Some LG employees were expected to come in on Sunday to make up for the work that they normally would have done on that Saturday.  Yippee! Wouldn't want all this charity to work to cut into our profits!

Ja Woo Rim (자우림) lead singer Kim Yun-a holding up a Pepsi in their new commercial. This is the same Kim Yun-a who makes anti-western videos and professes to hate American globalization and "white supremists" in the States. It's really nice to see how quickly she falls on her back and spreads her legs when one of them big white corporations waves some money under her nose.

Keep raging against the machine, sweety...
