(Yes, they really do pay — enough for me to go to Coffee Bean, at least. The more you click, the more vanilla lattes I can get.)

Ask Kushibo.

My sitemeter.com data shows that a lot of the 1000 or so people a week who land on my site are looking for cultural information on Korea (e.g., "When did Syngman Rhee die?" "What did the Indians bring to the first Chusok?" etc., etc.), as well as practical or historical stuff.

That got me thinking that, hey, I have a master's degree in Korean studies and a minor in Japanese studies, I've lived in Seoul far longer than most foreans my age (whether they're kyopo or non-kyopo), I teach introductory courses on Korea and its cultural trappings and history, so why not offer a free service where I attempt to answer people's questions, point them in the direction of where they can get them answered, and/or offer my regulars (that's you!) a chance to take a stab at some of this stuff, too.

So if there's something you'd like to know from a "contrarian scourge," click on ASK KUSHIBO and just ask a succinct question in the comments section below.

Oh, and play nice. Please don't make me regret this.

Pearls of witticism from 'Bo the Blogger: Kushibo's Korea blog... Kushibo-e Kibun...
Now with Less kimchi, more nunchi. Random thoughts and commentary (and indiscernibly opaque humor) about selected social, political, economic, and health-related issues of the day affecting "foreans" ("foreigners" in Korea be they kyopo or non-kyopo), Koreans, Korea and East Asia, along with the US, especially Hawaii, Orange County, and the rest of California, plus anything else that is deemed worthy of discussion. Forza Corea!

Quips and responses

Even before I went into into semi-retirement, I essentially stopped commenting on Marmot's Hole and other K-blogs altogether. But I still occasionally shoot off an editorial comment here and there or respond when someone calls my name. See the COMMENTS section here for some of these pearls of witticism.

See what the Blogosphere is saying about Kushibo-e Kibun:

  • Well-informed and engaged on Korea and its region, prolific, readable, a good lateral thinker and fair-minded to a fault about Korea.
  • "...a total moron."
  • "I think kushibo has a great point, and it leads to another topic of debate."
  • "Kushibo, you are full of sh**."
  • "You are a fu¢king racist. You are ignorant indeed. You are some kind of idiot."
  • "Kushibo knows more about Korea and the world then all of you combined."
  • "Kushibo is one of the last people I would expect to be negative about Korea--critical, perhaps but never negative."
  • "...a moderate liberal"
  • "Kushibo is one of my very favorite Marmot’s Hole-ians. He’s brainy and thoughtful, plus generally respectful to everyone else. Don’t rag Kushibo, because your alternatives are the Crazy Cat and Our Pride Our Cool."
  • "I think Kushibo brought up a good point."
  • "I'm not sure what Kushibo is getting at."
  • "I don't think half of the comments this guy makes on other people's blogs (and he certainly makes a lot of them) are really about adding to the issue so much as he just really needs to know that he's being paid attention to."
  • "Doesn't kushibo the worm have better things to do then post his dumba$$ sh** all over the net?"
  • "...don't worry about trolls like kushibo"
  • "Kushibo and Plunge are hardly trolls."
  • "Do have any idea how insipid, asinine, vacuous, and inane your comments are? Does being and offensive, condescending jerk come naturally to you or do you have to work at it?"
  • "Kushibo, stick to ohmynews where you can sit in the echo-chamber of anti-Americanism."
  • "'Kushibo'의 검색결과가 없습니다."

Hmm... Your ideas are intriguing to me and I wish to subscribe to your newsletter.

How did you find Monster Island?

* Monster Island (actually a peninsula)

The name of this blog comes from a line in "Lisa on Ice," a beloved episode of The Simpsons, perhaps my all-time favorite television show (even though for several seasons there, it really did suck). Lisa is imagining being sworn in as president, but at the last minute, it is discovered that she failed P.E. (physical education) and she is thus "sentenced to a lifetime of horror" on Monster Island. "Don't worry," the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court confides in her, "It's just a name."

Fast forward to Lisa and other prisoners running in panic through a tropical jungle, chased by Godzilla-like creatures, including a monster turtle and a monster firefly.

"He said it was just a name!" Lisa screams to the man next to her. While he, too, runs for his life, the unidentified man calmly says, "What he meant is that Monster Island is actually a peninsula."

Anyway, I thought in some ways that punchline summed up modern-day Korea in a nutshell. For many people—foreigners and Koreans—the ups and downs and everyday travails of the Republic of Korea make it as precarious as a Monster Island would be (and with the DMZ being the only land border, it really is like an island). But it actually is a peninsula. Okay, it made sense in my head.

So as you can see, despite the hits I get from people looking for Japanese tentacle porn, it has nothing to do with anything salacious as that.

Sarah Palin may not recall what papers she reads, but Kushibo knows what he checks out every day.
