Your Favorite Gaijin Schmaijin

[WillKill4Rice]

So I hear that some gaijin around town are acting krazy, speaking the Japanese, telling everyone and acting like Japan is all their own, wanting to adopt Japanese names etc etc

It has come to a head. Who is your fave Gaijin Schmaijin?

The dude with the carny act with the beret and the puppet late Saturday night at Ikebukuro Seibu Exit who will act in a rage if you try to take his photo (whats with that? - try it and see!)?

The tourist gaijin?

The engrish teachin' gaijin?

The corporate gaijin?

The lazing about in Japan gaijin?

The Mr I have a Japanese wife gaijin?

Take your pick or nominate your favorite gaijin schmaijin.

[alongdriver]

I will have to make alt accounts assuming I can vote only once, because I fit at least 6 of those.

[easa]

You can find most of them in one person !!

[SteadyRollingMan]

I vote for the OP. How come he is not one of the choices?

[Krobin]

I vote for the OP. How come he is not one of the choices?

You mean the 'Mr. I have such deep understanding for Japanese culture that I'm actually not a gaijin gaijin'?

[WillKill4Rice]

Funny but no. I could have created a category "Im More Japanese than the Japanese Gaijin" but I guess they are already too easy to categorize and laugh at.

Its a satire of people. Dont assume that its meant to be flattering.

For example, for those taking the slow boat with this, I never understood why people would actually boast at parties of having a Japanese wife, being an english teacher, standing tall and showing how blond their hair is - its a freak show. Carny dude with the violin puppet and all just ads to this.
But unlike carny beret man, at least the others dont get mad if you try to take their picture. Or do they?

Im probably Lazing About Here Gaijin.

But I vote for Carny Man Who Dont Like Photos gaijin.

Whos your fave Gaijin Schmaijin.

Where is the choice for flirts who hang out at Starbucks trying to look cool, blowing chances to hang out with people because they are too dumb to know when others want to meet them?

"I sit at the same cafe everyday gaijin" is an option.

[WillKill4Rice]

I guess theres always the other category like "Im a Loser Gaijin Wanting to Be Like a Character in Lost in Translation"

[alongdriver]

You forgot the "I'm too good to acknowledge you in public" Gaijin.

[WillKill4Rice]

Yes, that and the "Oh No You Don't I'm Higher on Gaijin Heirarchy Than You".

[thefan]

How about the "I'm obsessed with other gaijin gaijin" ?

[WillKill4Rice]

Are you?

How about the "Ive got smelly backpackers clothes and wouldnt know what a suit is Gaijin"?

[Jacque_S]

How 'bout the intellectualoid Japanophiles who use cultural relativism to justify what they themselves would rebel against?

[what's it to you ?]

Are you?

How about the "Ive got smelly backpackers clothes and wouldnt know what a suit is Gaijin"?

How about the "I create other gaijin in my own image" gaijin......i.e. the blithering gaijin with a massive chip on his shoulder gaijin....i.e. the low self-esteem gaijin with a god complex.....the "gaijin" who creates polls about "gaijin".

What do you mean by "favourite" anyway?

[RonBurgundy]

You forgot the "I'm too good to acknowledge you in public" Gaijin.

That would be I, kind sir.

[alongdriver]

That would be I, kind sir.

Thanks for the PM

That would be intellectual ______ism. How about the "I cant achieve anything much in my own society, so I go to Japan to be Anonymous Gaijin, but everyone knows that Im a loser Gaijin"?

That should cover about half of the Engrish Teachers, and they're the ones with a brand spanking new B Sc and B A. As for the rest, maybe they actually have a good reason to be bothering the Japanese, the true members of the "Bothering the Japanese Gaijin" category.

[ひさしぶり]

Gotta be the 'walking around Omotesando while eating an apple' gaijin, complementary bottle of water in other hand of course.

[starbucks]

You mean the 'Mr. I have such deep understanding for Japanese culture that I'm actually not a gaijin gaijin'?

i vote for krobin's "i'm not a gaijin gaijin"

That would be intellectual ______ism. How about the "I cant achieve anything much in my own society, so I go to Japan to be Anonymous Gaijin, but everyone knows that Im a loser Gaijin"?

followed closely by your "i'm not a loser gaijin"

[WillKill4Rice]

The Japanese Wife gaijins look like they are winning. Big disappointment for carny man with puppet jin.

What about "I have a Japanese ex wife?"

*SOUNDS GONG*

[Kaonashi]

What about "I have a Japanese ex wife?"

Now you're making me jealous.

What about the "moved to the countryside and was never heard from again" gaijin?

[WillKill4Rice]

Aah yes, you have the wisdom - that is also a good choice for Gaijin Schmaijin

What about "Want to Buy My Engrish School For 5 Million Yens? Gaijin"...

[pjb]

"What about "Want to Buy My Engrish School For 5 Million Yens? Gaijin"..."

Ha, ha. The OP actually wrote something genuinely funny! I vote for this one.

[WillKill4Rice]

What about the "I Have Fleabitten Bachelor of Arts And Worked As Photocopier Boy At Office Back Home - PH33R MY ENGRISH SKILLZ!" Gaijin.

[CapnHarry]

Is this the carny puppet man gaijin?

[Ken44]

Take your pick or nominate your favorite gaijin schmaijin.

“My love of all things Japanese has turned sour now that I realize I will never be fully accepted and that once a gaijin always a gaijin” gaijin.

[thefan]

The man is a wit

For example, for those taking the slow boat with this, I never understood why people would actually boast at parties of having a Japanese wife, being an english teacher, standing tall and showing how blond their hair is - its a freak show.

Ever wonder why you are at those kinds of parties

[davai.davai]

The "I have a website about gaijins" shmaijin

[CapnHarry]

Two questions.

1. IS THAT PHOTO the carny puppet man in the poll? Has anyone seen this "schmaijin" around Tokyo?

2. Website about Schmaijins?

I found this

OOPS, just realized U weren't talking about the puppet in my avatar.

Second part remains unchanged:

But I understand you haven't pay attention to WK4R signature until he removed it.

[WillKill4Rice]

Is this the carny puppet man gaijin?

Thats the dude - YOU HAVE THE UNCLE RICE WISDOM!

BUT TELL ME HARRY KUN HOW YOU GET PHOTO?

Every time Uncle Rice want photo, Mad Carny Man come toward me with threatening finger across throat gesture!

True story!

HOW YOU GET THE PHOTO WISDOM?

[CapnHarry]

My friend took it last year I think. Not sure how he got it but he did say that the puppet man was trying to hide something. Like is performing a puppet show at a train station illegal and if not, then why would he try to stop someone from taking a photo? Is he some kind of international fugitive?

If you look closely at the photo you can see that he is looking at the camera. Apparently he did a lot more than that so it probably wasn't only you who got the unfriendly treatment.

WHAT I WANNA KNOW IS - JUST WHO THE F*CK IS THIS CARNY PUPPET MAN GAIJIN AND WHAT KIND OF GROWN MAN DOES THIS KIND OF SH*Z?

[Gaijin Samurai]

Hahaha, brilliant! You are now having conversations with yourself. Keep it up; pure entertainment.

[WillKill4Rice]

Its a well known potter's gay lover.

This is what he look like without beret

GAIN THE WISDOM!

*SOUNDS GONG*

[kurogane]

How 'bout the intellectualoid Japanophiles who use cultural relativism to justify what they themselves would rebel against?

That's a non sequitir

[WillKill4Rice]

About Dave:

"I’m a vagabond traveler currently teaching English in Japan. I like travel, history, festivals, culture, and good beer. I’ve been to about 30 countries though some no bigger than a kitchen table. I’ve run with the bulls of Pamplona, hiked the Inca Trail, got mugged in Mexico City, floated down the Nile in old boat, climbed the Great Pyramid of Egypt, got ripped at Oktoberfest, and rode the Tokyo Yamanote Halloween Party Train."


Do you want a f**king medal son?!

[kurogane]

Have we nominated foreigners that use the term Gaijin in English to refer to foreigners?

Them, and the ones that mix in Japanese words like "Baito" and "Nomikai" into English sentences.
