"American As..." by Deidre Ng. Sirens blare in the background! Fireworks explode! Confetti and brightly colored balloons waft gently to the ground. No; this is NOT again the 1000th story I have reviewed; this time the pyrotechnics, etc., are part of the story. Deidre Ng has become an American citizen! To celebrate, she and her sister and their boyfriends do something uniquely American - they go to Chinatown.

This is a hilariously sexy story. It's possible, of course, that the author is not trying to be funny or sexy - that she may merely be relating the events that filled an important evening in the life of a Chinese-Canadian woman celebrating her enfranchisement and standing topless in the ladies' restroom yelling sexual innuendoes at her equally untopped but more outspoken sister. Serves 'em right - those sweaters were like fashion foreplay anyway.

Or, as David put it
