MyMomIsAFob.com is a really funny website with pics, emails, texts, conversations – all things related to having a mom who is a fob (that is “Fresh off the Boat” – or recent immigrant). Fobs are generally of Asian descent – and if you had to take some kind of fish related item to school in your lunchbox, like fishcake, dried squid or octopus – chances are, you are a fob or the child of a fob, or at the very least fob adjacent.
This website is very adorable and cute, and good for pics of moms in plastic visors. My mother has so many visors, and some are pretty elaborate. She could be in Daft Punk! I think the visor has to do with the extreme sun paranoia that my mother has always had and instilled in me. My mother and father play golf every day and she has perfectly pale skin, while my father looks like George Hamilton. She wears the visor, he doesn’t.
That site is HILARIOUS! My mom wears gloves when she drives so she doesn’t get tanned hands/arms. No visors, though.
LOL! It’s hilarious
Speaking of plastic visors, take a look at these, from one of my favourite websites, bighappyfunhouse. http://www.bighappyfunhouse.com/archives/08/10/28/17-38-02.html
That is site is SO funny, check out http://stuffkoreanmomslike.blogspot.com/ this one too!!! I just stumbled across it and I love it!!!
Unfortunately, I don’t get most of the jokes so I feel kinda like a dumb baby that smiles when grownups smile, or when they know something funny was said but they don’t understand so they just laugh anyways.
haha that shit just made my day.
Make sure you check out My Dad is a FOB, too. The one about the dog made coke shoot out of my nose.
I really want to start swapping “caucasian” with “cocaine” now!
Is there a latin version somewhere? sometimes i like to think i’m mexican…P.S. I gave it another shot…and I still didn’t get it. Oh and btw I went and defied you and bought Gwen Stafani’s 2004 album….I like it…it’s alright. She has this awesome song with andre 3000 about interracial marriage that i love because it’s what made this HOT, STEAMING PILE OF GREATNESS!! I didn’t quite pick up on any racism though she seems to IDOLIZE those harajuku girls, and doesn’t Fergie have some?

So cute! This reminds me of my sister’s blog: http://www.LostInEmoticons.com. It basically chronicles all the fobbish, lost in translation moments my sister has with my mom over AIM.
Reason why is great to be a gay 😀
Dry cleaners and haircutters don’t rob you blind. Joke 😛

Hi, Margaret.
Do you know what happened to “My Mom is a FOB”? I can’t reach it any longer on the web.
