SwampFightOner Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 A Cambodian family a few streets over from my parent's crib used to catch neighborhood cats and dogs and eat them, true story. One of my dog's came home with a fucked up leg after getting caught in one of their bear trap type shits when I was a kid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
earl broclo ESQ Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 It's funny you say Smith Hill. The first time I met Laotian people was there. I skated with a dude who was married to a Lao chick and they lived up there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Refugees don't fuck around man! My girl's family doesn't fuck with dogs and cats, but her brother comes home with deer all season long. They use everything. No lie, they even use the bile to cook with, it's awesome. They make the best fucking jerky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nsmbfan Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 uh i don't think pronouncing it like FUH is really pronouncing it like a native. It's not spelled PHO. It's spelled Phở . those little doo dads mean you pronounce it different. O has a few different pronunciations even in english. if i pronounced DOG like doog you guys would talk shit right? yes you would... pronouncing perro as pero is a whole fucking different word. so the fact that they try shows they are trying to pronounce a different word. you guys suck at life. no, fake ass fakin the funk ass faggots that try and speak native in order to "honor" the culture they are partaking. they fail at life. i pronounce it PHO because one solid good reason... never in my life has an O made an UH sound. being respectful of cultures and being a complete faggot are two different things, with a fine line between them. also, white people annoy me when they emulate different cultures because they do not know their own.

Guest T14K Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 dude it's not pronounced FOE. it's not emulating a different culture. it's just pronouncing it right. the first time i ever heard it it was pronounced FUH. Just because you're white trash doesn't mean you're beyond pronouncing words right. Say it however you want. But seriously. English is a retarded language. All vowels can be used to pronounce a shit ton of letters. You blindly pronounce COLONEL and KERNEL exactly the same. but somehow pronouncing PHO as FUH is against your fucking morals. weird.

It's all about the broth... & I prefer a lime wedge vs. lemon. For the meat, the only thing I can't fuck w/is tendon. Got that once & I had to choke that shit down. Tripe, rare steak & fatty flank is the way to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Croupier Posted February 18, 2010 Author Share Posted February 18, 2010 I saw Pho Bich Nga in VICE magazine once (about 6 or 7 years ago). I think the joke was it's likeness to "poor bitch nigger", which I find mildly amusing. Probably stating the obvious... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

earl broclo ESQ Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 There is a spot called Thai Son on Baxter St. in Chinatown. If you're in New York and want to check out Nigerian bootleggers or buy FDNY hats, stop there and get Pho. It's a good spot all around for Thai. It's always crowded with other Asians, so I guess it passes the usual "white person" test. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gasfacevictm Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 Mmmm, Nigerian bootleggers. "Sir! It breaks my heart that you are not a woman, because I have lovely bags for such people as them. Maybe you have a wife or sister, possibly a girlfriend that you would like to buy a wonderful discounted designer bag for? Birthdays are a blessing that come only once a year and they are never guaranteed to see the next, so maybe you should plan ahead and surprise them with nice bags such as the ones I have for you right here. Very good prices, I assure you, sir. No? Do you like silver? Ibogaine? Kola nut? Maybe next time my good friend! God bless you!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CALIgula Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 i didnt see any nigerian bootleggers, but i picked up some bootleg cds on canal street. i did see jamaican bootleggers in times squares....selling fake rolexes....i went with one into a restaurant next to sabarros and bought a nice fake rolex for $23. you guys still got those guys out there?...if im ever in new york again, im buying a bunch of them...i can easily flip each of those rolexes for $50-$60 a pop.

suca Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 Racha in Seattle is a Thai joint that has a Thai version of Pho that is quite good. That is a little fancier than most, a good rule of thumb in finding a good Pho spot in Seattle is the number of Mexicans in there, for whatever reason Mexicans love the Pho. Never tried "What the Pho?" in Bellevue but have always liked the name. than brothers. all you need. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The flies inside give it that third world feel. the pho wasn't that bad either. why i gotta work at a car place or la pinata tho? why cant i work at ace hardware, or Lucky's? haha i actually do work at a car spot. that place off A st and the 880 freeway sucks. the food sucked and took them hella long to bring me my food. i did make off with a few of their salt shakers tho. this one is pretty good. my ex used to take me to this one all the time.
