Comments on: a day in his pants: the posh deluxe interview with john harney http://poshdeluxe.com/2008/05/02/in-his-pants-the-posh-deluxe-interview-with-john-harney/ the pantsiest pants that ever pantsed in pants town Wed, 08 Feb 2012 22:18:24 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.1 By: olivia http://poshdeluxe.com/2008/05/02/in-his-pants-the-posh-deluxe-interview-with-john-harney/comment-page-1/#comment-2511 olivia Fri, 09 May 2008 12:17:16 +0000 http://poshdeluxe.com/?p=670#comment-2511 Hey, it's really awesome to meet (so to speak) the person who left me much Chinese-food insight on my blog when I was in Taiwan. Thanks again. BTW, this is about what Mexicans bring in: http://www.comedycentral.com/videos/index.jhtml?videoId=60737 Re China and Tibet: I was thinking about this, and while I agree with your assessment about nationalism and being 'led' to believe something and the idea that the Western world is sticking its nose into Chinese politics, etc., I also think that part of the reason the Tibet thing gets so much coverage and attention and sympathy is that it falls well with a general anti-Chinese trend due to fear of the potential Chinese rise, and even, perhaps, residual (or overt) racism. Thoughts? I am not saying the Tibetans don't have a legitimate cause, but lots of people do, and I was just thinking that this might be why that particular cause (as opposed to lots of nationalist/secessionist/independence causes around the world) gets so much sympathy, media coverage, etc. I do think there is a lot of toned-down-but-still-there anti-Asian racism in general, in terms of stereotypes about Asians and 'their' way of life, and it doesn't necessarily get noticed or talked about. I noticed the effects when I was there in how I thought about people, even though before I went I wouldn't have said I'd absorbed these stereotypes. Sorry it's a long comment. Great interview!

I was out of town this weekend or you would have received my enthusiastic comment much earlier. You rallied magnificently from the ambush interview stylings of one Mr. Henri Mazza. You rock.

And I want to point out that Richard made the specific 'non-gay' comment as part of an in-joke. Everything else he infers is lies! Ah Weenston, come on, it’s not a creepy photo!!

Firstly, how can John eyeballing someone across a seminar table be a good bonding experience. I experienced that probably hundreds of times when we were in school and just thought he was some weirdo from the Philippines(not that I think people from the Philippines are weird). And secondly, I will give you an idea what sort of friend John really is. That first picture of John dancing was taken by me in the apartment we shared in Taiwan for three months. John had asked me to come over and visit for the summer. He even said I would have my own room. Anyway after 3 weeks of me arriving another couple who John also invited turned up, were given my room, stayed for the entire summer, they even drank Johns beer and I spent the rest of the summer sleeping on the floor at the foot of Johns bed. And if you want an example of scandalous just ask John about Juniper and what he did to David Curran. I love John, in a non gay way.

Not having taken the second I'm still forming that opinion. I miss Mr. V. It was nice to see the interview with John, getting to know him a little better. I'm really enjoying these friday posts.

As bonding experiences go, it doesn't get much more hardcore than that. Really. Oh, and Sarah, I will never tire of hearing of the story of how we met.
