Awesome stuff, man. The fun part is when people start burning this stuff all in the streets, you end up feeling like in a scene from some kind of apocalyptic or zombie movie, dodging between piles of flaming stuff as people are dumping more paper onto the fires. Joss paper, also, tends to leave behind a thick yellow smoke, or at least the stuff people I saw using did!
That is quite true - there is a reason why the Hong Kong ghost movies always have a scene of someone burning joss paper (preferably with them flying loose) on the street.

The smoke is indeed annoying as heck and sting your eyes badly, especially when combined with incense which, unfortunately, do not smell anything pleasant when burnt. But then I guess nothing would smell good if it is burnt as liberally as the incense are during the festivals (everyone got to offer three of them in most cases, so in my case, we would end up with around 40 or so incenses sticking out like this. And that is only for one ancestor.

And "ancestor" is probably a misnomer - In my father's family's case, we paid respect to two deceased uncles as well as my grandfather.

Video tape yourself eating a pork bun and post it in the thread. If you do, I'll do something drastic of your choosing.

So far the request list for Hong Kong, which is necessary to defeat the misery inflicted by a Lesbiathan and a Joe, is as follows:

1. Video of myself eating a pork bun, dubbed with me singing " all out of love" by air supply.

2. The brutal murder of an other human via conspicuously well placed fish leftovers.

I'm not saying pork buns are bad. It is just a scientifically proven fact that lotus seed buns are superior. :colbert:
