"Hey, Is That Guy Ilocano?"

"Grandpa, what's
up with people
who stare?"
"Well my little
biscuit n gravy,
people stare cuz
they're freaking
out at somebody
...maybe it's the
way they dress.
For example,
just looking at
this guy, you'd
think he was from
Tarlac or Laoag.
We're talking
bout the colors,
the plaid, the
confident smile
of somebody who
THINKS he
matches. And so we stare for just a moment. Then
we might say something like, "Huy Manong, how come you
are wearing a dress. Are you a Manong or a Manang?"
The key is to stare for just a moment. Whenever a normal
person is busted staring, the normal person will turn away
right away. But the Abbey normal person will continue to
stare at you after you've busted 'em. Don't be Abbey normal."
