Don't give an asian man a bow and arrow!

I enjoyed a great day off today. Met up with Megan and Casey for lunch at a nice little cafe where we had some much needed catch up and nice conversation. Then Megan and I headed out for some thrift shopping. This included finding a record player that I purchased, browsing records and writing fun songs on an old organ while two little kids chuckled and watched. Oh, this part of the day also included one of the best conversations I have ever over heard.....IN MY LIFE!!! Here's the story:

So, I am still looking for cheap record players and Megan and I decide to try out Wimpy's Pawn shop. We walk in and are immediatly disappointed by there lack of inspiring wares. However, before we leave I see a short asian man holding a large bow (without the arrow) in his hand and talking in broken english to the register guy.

"No...It's not for shoo-ting men" says the asian man, "is for shoo-ting babies!!!" I immediatly turn to watch this dialogue unfold.

"Shooting babies?" asks the confused store clerk.

"YES!!! For shoo-ting babies!" replies the asian man with unwavering confidence.

Wow. It seemed to make perfect sense to the asian man. I left before the conversation concluded, though now I'm quite curious as to the outcome.

Later, Megan and I drove to Pasadena and hopped on the Metro and rode to China town. We ate dinner (the two of us for a total of $3.50!!!) and then got back on the train to Hollywood. We walked to Amoeba Music and browsed records for probably an hour.

We spent the whole metro ride back writing a series of Haikus entitled "Metro Haikus". Here are the few that I wrote all pertaining to different parts of the day:

"metro"
Waving of the train.
Beep the doors open, stand clear
Arrive at adventure.

"Amoeba"
Rows sprinkled in dust
Music also has a smell.
Hold tight flatulents!

"man in the corner"
Teacher's judging stares.
Voiceless communication.
Pen hunting mistakes.

"China Town"
Styrofoam bounty
Three dollars and fifty cents
Where is the bathroom?!

Needless to say, the day was a lot of fun. Here are some pics too:
