    Fun fact: orange chicken was invented by Hawaiian Chinese guys who ran the Panda Express in Honolulu. They wanted to create a dish that reflected the sort of flavors that were popular at Chinese restaurants in Hawai’i. So it’s not an “American” concoction. It’s rooted in the culture of Chinese in Hawai’i, who were invited to live and work in Hawai’i back in the kingdom days.

      Pizza was invented in the US. By an italian immigrant, but it still counts.

      in Hawai’i. So it’s not an “American”

      Is Hawaii not in the U.S.? Or was it not in the U.S. at the time of the early Panda Express?

            I know the line before that is supposed to be “Hide your scars to fade away the shakeup”, but it sounds so much like “I just masturbated with the shade up”, especially the whispered repeat after it. If you listen for it the scars line is clearly there, but I’m convinced he said something similar to get away with a line like that on the radio.

                  Sure, that’s what the lyrics say. I too know the lyrics. But it sure as shit isn’t what I say when I’m spitting and drooling in my car, trying my damnedest to feel as much like a badass during all of that as I do when SOAD featuring TheFartographer hits “I don’t think you trust…”

                  I’m lucky if I even say “fable” instead of accidentally repeating “table.” Or “able.” Or just giving up and selflessly letting Serj take it solo, so that he can have the spotlight for once in front of the audience that is my steering wheel and air vents.
