(The setting: The Salt Lick BBQ, somewhere in Texas.)
Min Jung: I love the Salt Lick, but if one more girl asks me if I’m Sandra Oh, I’m going to leave this convention and I’m never coming back to Texas.
Kevin: What happened?
MJ: Someone just said I look like Sandra Oh, from Grey’s Anatomy. While I was on the fucking can.
(Everyone looks at each other)
MJ: What, are you serious? You’re saying I look like Sandra Oh because we’re both Korean women?
Ernie: Well… let’s be honest, girl. You guys do have the same facial shape.
MJ: [sitting up in her chair straight] No, I don’t.
E: Uhm… sitting up in your chair isn’t going to change your facial shape. Just saying.
MJ: …
Obviously, after a conversation exchange such as the one above, it means only one thing: a practical joke, orchestrated by Kevin, must be played on her involving the wait-staff while she’s off socializing at another table. Twenty minutes later…
Two giddy 15-year old employees, holding a piece of paper: Ohmygod! Are you Sandra Oh from Grey’s Anatomy? Can you sign…
MJ: WHAT DID I TELL YOU!? WHAT DID I TELL YOU PEOPLE?! WHO’S THE ASSHOLE WHO SET ME UP FOR THIS, HUH? WAS IT YOU?
E: (Loudly.) Oh, Sandra. Be nice to the girls.
Min Jung later punched us all in the stomach on the way to the car. It was totally worth it.

Hey, at least they get your ethnicity right. I’ve been compared to Margaret Cho multiple times and I’m Japanese.

I love how pissy pants she gets about the Sandra Oh thing. It reminds me of another friend I have that looks like the lead singer of Duran Duran. We tricked about fifty school girls into thinking Shannon was Simon.
He also kinda looked like Mark from Sugar Ray - which is, like, sadder.
At least Sandra Oh has a hit show!

Given that I still live in the dark ages and don’t watch tv, I didn’t know what Sandra Oh looked like until I did an image search. Her face is longer than MJ’s and MJ is prettier by far.
Ernie - great to see you at SXSW this year! Yeah!
;o)

I was walking out of “Under the Tuscan Sun” and two frat boys pointed at me, saying “Hey, weren’t you in that movie?”

I love the Salt Lick, but I’ve never been there in the presence of a celebrity.

THE SALT LICK! Oh God, the envy. It hurts my heart.

I’d always kind of thought there was a similarity, but that was when I just knew Oh from Double Happiness., so I didn’t think anyone knew who she was.
