A chinese old story can explain who are the reason to lead to playoffs or champion

I vaguely recall hearing this story as a kid but I remember it being about pears than hotdogs.

But of course we all know that hotdogs were a fav in T'ang Dynasty China.

I believe the moral of the story is that its wrong to think of the end without thinking of the path. When the old man got to the last hotdog he felt full and so he believed that that was the hotdog he needed to eat to get full and if he just ate that one he would be full and the rest were a waste of money.

I think how this applies is that on a team there may be a star but you still need good role players to make you successful.

 

What's the Yao Only Fan's take on this?

 

hmmmm..... those who think Yao can be shaq overnight better read the story again.

 

I think the King's naked...

 

Five stars.

 

How many more hotdogs do we have to eat before yao starts grabbing some freakin' rebounds like he's a poor hungry Chinese dude who hasn't had any hotdogs????

By the way, I love those hotdogs in a bun you get in chinatown...

 

If you were a hotdog, would ya eat yourself?

 

Thousands and thousands of years of profound tradition and wisdom is bestowed upon us in the BBS.

You are a deep, deep man my brother

 

damn..

that was difficult

anyone want to explain?

 

Thats just it, hes never been hungry. The guy is a Chinese version of Alan Houston and Grant Hill, all the talent in the world, but never been hungry his whole life, so he lacks the hunger that Amare has

 

Kaiser, I think Houstonian has a pretty good explanation

 

To Houstonian in NYC: Kobe learned recently not to share his hot dog in anything except a Mexican bun. Apparently not all white girls like it supersized. And a large carat diamond plus one out of court settlement plus lawyers fees for one hot dog in the bun trick is expensive even for Kobe.

So the moral Grasshopper - is cook your hot dog at home - those street vendors just can't provide quality product at the same low price as Mama can.

BTW always wondered when the Shaolin Masters called Qunag Chi Caine grasshopper - is that a term of affection in China, kinda like Jiminy Crickets in the walt disney movie? Or is it kinda like me calling someone cockroach?

As far as Yao - I think the stereotypical movie scene that we would all like to see is the one where the good warrior gets really really p1$$ed at the bad guy, sharpens his sword, sits in the hot sauna for a long time, paints his face, wafts some incense smoke around himself, prays to his ancestors, ties the headband on and goes out to kick some serious @$$.

 

Yeah, it's too bad that Yao will be filled-up by just a half a hotdog.

Maybe that's why he's so thin?

 

I don't think they are talking about Kobe's "little brother" here.

Grasshopper is a term for a neophyte martial artist....because the Grasshopper gets eaten by the praying mantis - also an advance style of kung fu.

 

OK. Here is the correct interpretation (IMHO).

There has been a huge debate between Kobe fans and Kobe-haters among Chinese fans. Kobe fans tend to believe Kobe was the main reason of Lakers' past 3 championships, while Kobe haters argue that Shaq was the main reason.

So the story's moral is that given the Lakers' record this season, it seems Shaq was the 1st through 5th hotdogs while Kobe was just the 6th.

Hope that makes sense now.

 

No it doesn't. What does it have to do with Rockets ?

 

I think that is the moral of this story. In this case, this post should be put into "NBA Dish". Plus, I am not sure the story applies to Lakers' case. I thought Kobe and Oneal joined Lakers at about the same time, they didn't win championship until PJ started coaching there. So Kobe and Oneal should be the 1st to 5th hotdog, PJ is the 6th one.

However, this story can be applied to Yao. Once he starts playing agressively and consistently, someone might say "why didn't he do that earlier?". Well, it takes time to develope one's game, including consistency.

 

Well this is what I have gathered from the GARM.

Sura and Moochie were walking into hot dog stand, Mooch say to Sura, sumo wrestle me and may the one who wins have the other for a slave. Sura pounces on a Mooch like a flea on a brick but they have no touching like one touches a young girl of virtue. Sura belly touches the ground and Mooch screams triumph. Moochie say Sura must be slave forever and Sura run into hot dog stand. Sura faints. Kirk Snyder screams CRACKERGOOKS in Suras face, Moochie faints. Moochie eats 5 hot dogs and Yao serve 6 fowl in 12 moment. Kobe buys 4 million dollar hot dogs and give them to his place of taking young girl virtue. All ends.

 

This thread is pure comedy. I said it before during the Sura faints thread, and I'll say it again, everything should be posted by CHinese posters who have bad sense of grammar, it just makes for a better read. Who knew this thread could get 4 stars??

 

You should really stick to lurking and sending out CDs.
