There are many things I like about being an ex-pat...

But a few that kinda suck. One is that any Weird Al reference is completley lost on anyone not born in the USA. Listening to Weird Al go off on "The Sage Begins" gives me chub. Unfortunately, trying to explain or demonstrait this to any Thai person will result in them deciding you are absolutely insane. They smile, nod, and back away slowly, keeping their hands and their sides and making no sudden movements, not sowing any teeth, until they are out of reach and then they run. Probably a reasonable reaction, but it's as close to homesick as I've gotten as late.
