BIRTHDAY CELEBRASIAN! Mo Tae-Bum
When I turned 21, I received a wealth of gifts. They included:
- sixer of Smirnoff ice
- knockoff version of Barbie’s little sister, Skipper
- 3 “Your first time coming here legally?? It’s on the muzzafuzzin’ house!!!” shots seeminly comprised of sugar and scope
- my first DVD porn
- 4.5 Appletinis (so hot right then)
- 13 unidentified flying cocktails
- framed photo of me with a bunch of swell college chicks in dresses holding up cocktails
- hickey
- hangover
SIMILARLY, on Korean Olympic speed skater’s Mo Tae-Bum’s 21st birthday (February 15), he received…

Mo' of Mo!
- first-ever winter gold medal for Korea in a sport other than short track
- billowy Korean flag to celebrate with (see above photo)
- bear hug from Hardass Asian Coach, the kind Asian kids dream about. Like, DREAM about:
- honor
- glory
WE ARE THE SAME!!!
