German sausages, crazy models, and rock and roll rumors
Corbett | May 4, 2003 9:38 PM
So I having Sunday brunch with Ben and Irene at some German bakery in Tien Mu, before going over to a Jewish garage sale. Our German neighbor said the sausages there were better than in Germany. This seemed like pretty important stuff here in SARS plagued Taipei: Quest for Good Sausages!
Between mustard and kraut, and just ok sausages, Ben leans over and whispers to me, "Dude, I was out with a girl last night at this new club who was telling me all about your wild and crazy past (wink wink). I heard all about your old model girlfriend who jumped out of a window while you two were all drugged out, and how now she's got like this crippled arm from all the crushed bones. Man, that's some serious shit. How come you never told me?"
"When was this?"
"Eight years ago."
"Really? Out of a window?"
"Yup."
"While doing drugs."
"That's right."
"Well, maybe because it never happened."
I found this pretty amusing, and very indicative of the Taipei rumor mill, since my model dating days were packed away 12 years ago when I met Irene, and I can't remember any window jumpers in my past. Crazy models, yes. Window jumpers, no.
That's a pretty good rock and roll rumor though. Nice to know that some sort of mystique still precedes me in Taipei night life.

3q2u is an acronym which if said in Chinese and Japanese sounds like "Thank you to you!" Dumb but easy to remember. More >>

The way I heard it was the "model" was actually a one-legged transvestite. The drug was actually bing lang, and all that happened was her prostheic leg fell off when walking down the stairs. Don't know how that turned into a model who jumped out a window.... sheesh.
