Is it just me, or is Beckett screwing with Chinese people?
In the play, Vladimir = Didi and Estragon = Gogo. Right?
弟弟 and 哥哥?
"Didi" is pinyin for "younger brother," and "gege" is pinyin for "older brother." However, if you are rigged (aka you are from Taiwan), then instead of "gege," you say "gogo."
Vladimir seems more like the older brother (Gogo), and Estragon the younger (Didi). Why did Beckett have to flip the names? This is utterly confusing.
Look, it owned Gene:

nik3lbak: until i realized he was didi

Um, Cantonese people say "gogo" too. Duh. Last time I checked, they didn't all live in Taiwan.

Cantonese/Taiwanese/Korean/Japanese people have a certain necessity to rid themselves of this beautiful world. =)

that's cool. i didn't notice that. ironic- i just took it from their main names, like the di from vlaDImir and etc.

Why the hell should I go fuck myself? *I* didn't insult a bunch of ethnicities for no reason. I'm half Cantonese so you can understand why I'm upset about Gene saying that Cantonese people should die. If Cantonese people should die, that means bye bye Jackie Chan. There goes our most famous Asian ever.
I wait now I get it. I should go fuck myself because I'm "dumb". Sorry for being slow and not realizing it sooner.

I'm confused. Who just got hiyo'ed?
Gene on Monday, November 15, 2004 at 11:31 PM
you don't like gene's comments just like I don't like your comments. Why do you have anymore right to say "go fuck yourself" than I do?

Oh yea, I also forgot to say that what I said don't apply to 1. people who I care about, 2. people who I would care about if I got to know them, 3. people who are badass and cool in general.
This doesn't really change the situation much right now, but I just didn't want to go around offending friends.

Patrick, please separate the fact that you don't like me away from your critque of my comments.
