The Buckets by Greg Cravens for October 18, 2012

In Chinese, they’re called 筷子(kuàizi), which means, roughly, “quick sticks”. In Chinese-English pidgin, “chop-chop” means “quickly”.

Oh no… Not the ‘Why’?

I used to eat with chopsticks for some weird reason. I was quite good at it.

His name does make more sense, at least for the way he’ll eat with them.

I’m 32, and still can’t figure out how the f&#k to work the damn things!! The sad part? I live in a community that is 60% Asian, 20% white, and 20% “Other” (whom also like the damn chop sticks!) LOL

I have no idea why.

Sticky rice is way high in the starches.
