GelStra Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 So my 14yo daughter and I were killing time in the mall yesterday when I spotted and commented on the feng shui store (For those of you in Kansas, per Wiki: "it is the practice of arranging objects, (such as the internal placement of furniture in an environment,) to achieve harmony with one's environment.") My daughter gets this evil look on her face and says, "Let's go in there and move things!" Honestly, kids these days! Um, we did. Link to comment

GelStra Posted April 1, 2008 Author Share Posted April 1, 2008 "Did they notice?" I'm sure their chi was greatly disturbed. As we were leaving I heard them comment, "Sum Ding Wong!" Link to comment

Joel Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 A kid after my own heart, particularly on that subject matter. Several years ago, before there were feng shui stores, I was at a Parade of Homes in Denver, where the pretentiousness is usually knee deep before you even get through the gate. Among the many self-anointed gurus was a designer who laid it on thick about the feng shui of her interior design and decorating in a particular McMansion in the Parade. IIRC, she dislocated her shoulder patting her own back. The design of which she was so proud made me wonder aloud if "feng shui" was Chinese for "effed up." The experience put my chi on a permanent skew, so the curmudgeon in me applauds your daughter's mischief. Link to comment

Gary in Aus Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 A chinese restuarant in the small coastal town of Red Rock {mid NSW coast} has the title of "The Wed Wok". Not a bad restuarant and at the right time of the year some good waves. Link to comment

DaveTheAffable Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 I kinda like the whole Japanese Garden look and asked my kid how much water we should put in the backyard pond if we wanted it to be a good habitat for frogs. She replied, "No more than... 'neee-deeep'..." Link to comment
