Cho-ism #23: Simon Cho tested positive for too much swag.
After enlightening the world that he had woken up to news of a random drug test, Simon later tweeted teammate Jordan Malone about the unfortunate news, he had tested positive for too much swag. ”Apparently it’s illegal to have as much as I do in a single urine sample,” he claimed at the end of the tweet.
While it could reasonably be inferred that so much swag would lead to luck with the ladies, Simon claims the adverse. Choclopedia contributer Ashley believes the detracting element in the equation is his recent perm.
Anonymous asked: Where did this EPIC engagement take place?
facebook!
he just so happened to have a status saying that he wanted a facebook wife for a week,
and i convinced him with my magical saucy powers to pick me.
within a few minutes after my input,
i got a relationship status request from him to list us as married.
and yeah,
that’s pretty much how it went.
go check out his personal facebook page if you wanna see all the shebang.
Cho-ism #22: Simon Cho is Married to One of Our Authors
On April 17th, Simon called out for a Facebook wife for one week. Ashley, having drawn his previous twitter default picture (featuring Simon in his Miga beanie) called out that he owed it to her. Apparently, SImon agreed, and promptly engaged through a marriage invitation. Ashley accepted, and now is his Facebook wife for a week, celebrated by a status proclaiming her as his wife and wishing her a happy five minute anniversary under the salutation “Babe”.
CONGRATULATIONS, ASHLEY!!
Cho-ism #21: Simon Cho permed his hair.
On twitter the morning of April 8, 2010, Simon had tweeted say he has permed his fine, straight, luscious ebony locks. After enduring the prolonged process of turning his sleek mane into a head of unruly curls, he now sympathizes with those of the opposite sex saying, “I now understand the trouble women go thru to look good. I’ll try harder to notice the little changes and compliment u.”
Many fans had mixed feelings about this sudden event, and Jordan stated his opinion via twitter loud and clear.
One can assume that in the next webcast, Simon’s new hairdo is going to be one hot topic throughout the broadcast.
Cho-ism #20: Simon Cho is no longer a PC.
Standing by Ralph Waldo Emerson’s statement that “a foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds”, Simon Cho recently changed alliances from PC to Mac, much to teammate Jordan Malone’s chagrin. On his twitter, Simon compared the change to that of losing his virginity, an analogy that hints that the change was inevitable despite his previous claims to the contrary. Despite being openly inquisitive about the iPad and posting links to articles about Steve Jobs to his twitter (an honor usually reserved for obscure music), Mac-loving teammate J.R. Celski has not publicly congratulated Simon on the change to date.
Simon’s transition has seemed to be mostly seamless, as his presence is still known on twitter despite what are surely risque midnight pool and hottub parties. The only notable problem was the “swooshing” noises his computer makes. While he might have been afraid it was a bird attempting to reach him from within, I am assured the Mac was just trying to be as fast as he is. He later tweeted that the problem was resolved.
Cho-ism #19: Simon Cho is a guido.
When asked what his Jersey Shore name would be, Simon responded with “I wanna be Snooki.” When given various requests to fist-pump, he proudly does it in every webcast—like a champ. It comes as no surprise that that Simon loves the show Jersey Shore, and if he could be anybody on that show, he said he would want to be The Situation.
Recently, Simon just posted a tweet saying that he turned in an application for the potential Asian version of infamous show, called Koreatown. Be sure to keep a lookout for The SitCHOation—the Asian persuasion that will sweep the media nation.
Cho-ism #18: Follow Simon Cho or Follow No One.
Above: A bonus gif to illustrate our point.
On his twitter, Simon Cho tweeted a very clear, distinct message:
#Deleteyourtwitterif you ain’t following me
Needless to say, if you aren’t already, you need to follow Mr. Cho yesterday.
Luckily, this tumblr is allowed to exist: it has 200 followers, a good start for disciples in Cho-ism.
Cho-ism #17: Simon Cho is the quintessential human being.
When asked what his bad habits were, Simon claims that he doesn’t have any bad habits or flaws, for he’s the perfect human being.
Enough said.
Cho-ism #16: Simon Cho is Korean-American.
“Korean-American” is part of Simon Cho’s biography of himself on twitter, but there is more to that than meets the tweet. In this article Simon’s story of how he came to America comes to light. In a webcast someone asked Simon if he were from North Korea, the reaction to which caused Jordan Malone to tease the inquirer with the question “is that an insult?” Simon is fluent in Korean, and is often pictured with members of the Korean short-track team at events.
Simon is currently in Seoul, South Korea visiting, but according to one webcast his activities there are “a secret”. Knowing his preference to all things James Bond (see: Cho-ism #3), one has to wonder what exactly Mr. Cho is up to.
