Hot Tea PJ - Home base

PJ wasted no time upon his return about 2 weeks ago in re-establishing his joint as the place for all the fun-loving, wise cracking population of Taichung - women (usually) excluded. In no particular order are some of the more memorable moments. I'll leave it to you and your personal tastes to assign any value to them.

1. 1. PJ becomes shirtless 2 minutes after sitting down and showing everyone his tan line.
2. 2. PJ proves to two unfortunate Canadianers that SPF 45 sunblock works even in hirsute areas.
3. PJs is now officially safe from violence after a truce between him and Brit Kevin was worked out. You might remember that the two got into a tussle after PJ reacted violently to Kevin's Scarface on SoHo Street performance.
4. We had our fantasy football draft on Lance's patio and then retired to PJ's to see how drunk D-Wayne would become. Let's see...He started rubbing his butt on every guy there. He gave us a shot of his pencil holder. He bet me ten beers in a game of one-on-one. He then goaded gentle, never-take-advantage-0f-another Jim, Saint Jim, also into a game of one-on-one with the same stakes. He has safely taken over Frencie's role of making foolish bets.
5. Women actually do wander over to PJ's, though usually to collect money or deliver food. However, one Taiwanese xiaojie (that's Miss to you rubes), a first timer, sat down at the table and began talking in very limited English. Cue PJ: Pretty girl, little or no English. In these situations the chair is pulled a little closer, the smile much wider, all others at the table are off his radar. He begins to aid her discomfort by conversing in Chinese. The initial salvo goes for about one uninterrupted minute. When he comes up for air, she takes the chance to say, "I'm sorry. My English isn't very good. What did you say?"
