Here are a few emails that weren’t actually questions. I’ll call them “Tell Yasi.”
(ONE)SUBJECT: spit on a stranger
sometimes youre funny other times not so much. the snark comments are good. the philosophy stuff is kinda bogus…well read though. never heard of pavement before until today. thank you thank you its the perfect sound for the time.
-kwan
And I wasted no one’s precious time, like I wasted, I wasted all your precious time, precious time. Was a sorry thing to do. Was a sorry thing for you. ‘Cause I wasted, I wasted it all on you.
(TWO)SUBJECT: Carne Asada fries
There’s a good spot in Eagle Rock on Colorado Blvd. that has carne asada fries. It’s called The Taco Spot…my favorite carne asada fries spot.
Danny B
I’m not going to Eagle Rock until they have at least three more hip coffee shops and an American Apparel.
(THREE)no subject
You rule.
Brett Burns
Truth be told, I’m only good at three things and life isn’t one of them. But the Kevin Bacon Game definitely is.
(FOUR)SUBJECT: Random…….

I’m really stoked on the strife lyrics to tie in with the straight edge hoodie. I knew I liked you!
Haha take care lady
-Britney
I like you too, girlfriend. But I can’t really take any credit for that tie-in, because it wouldn’t have been possible without…
(FIVE)SUBJECT: You…are…
an amazing writer…And cute as a button.
Rick Rodney
Love you mean it. Fries are on me tomorrow.

Yasi,
are you a man or a woman.

Lumpy,
“It is absurd to divide people into good and bad. People are either charming or tedious.”
(Oscar Wilde, from “Lady Windemere’s Fan”).
I tend to agree, and would say for your purposes, it is also absurd to care if I am a man or a woman, since I am quite clearly charming. However, and I will choose my words carefully, as I have in the past been accused of belittling my beloved questioners (it’s how I show I care), I’m inclined to say that it is fairly clear which gender I belong to. Besides the fact that I find myself to be overtly emotional in my postings, I also show signs of being just a little bit crazy. But there are no apologies to be made for belonging to either sex (nor any excuse for pride of ownership of either set of genitalia) because all that really matters is how good you are at being a human being. Anyway, enough vague philosophy. Back to your question. Here are a few hints: I run a business, I was captain of the rugby team in high school, and I can drink you under the table. I also cry every time I watch “Love, Actually.” Which is far more often than I care to admit.

Subject: CARNE ASADA FRIES???
First off, I would like to commend you for lending your invaluable advice and time to help random people with their random problems.
Saying that…
WHERE IN GOD’S NAME DO YOU GET CARNE ASADA FRIES???
I would be grateful for your help on this Random matter.
Signed,
Mike
Dear Mike,
Thank you for your commendation. However, I think you have a typo there and by “invaluable” you meant “unvaluable” but that’s ok, we’re all human.
As for carne asada fries, which are in my opinon culinary perfection, you can find them here in Los Angeles two places that I know of (there are undoubtedly more but these are the two that I frequent, well rather frequently). Benito’s, which has multiple locations (I go to the one on Beverly and Fairfax as it is close to my house), and Machos Tacos, which boasts the superior carne asada fries due to the crispyness of the fries and the novel and delicious addition of refried beans, and is located in Los Feliz at 1670 N. Vermont Ave.
I hope this was helpful. One day, I will help many more people with the publication of my book “Sex, Fries, and Videotape.” Stay tuned.

Paul,
Probably not. But here are some photos that never made it on here. (I am a master of disguise).

Subject: Sooooooo. . .
1) Do you honestly believe that everyone that comes to the Hundreds website doesn’t get laid? Well, maybe not the Hundreds, but the ones that read your bloggy thing. I don’t want to sound like some sort of pussy (similar to old Richard. Happy 18th!), but that’s sad to insult every male that happens to move their eyes across your “advice column” by insinuating that they’re some sort of streetwear rocking nerds that couldn’t get some snatch if it landed on their face..
2) What do you DO? Like, do they just pay you to attempt to help people with their problems or do you have an actual job? I don’t want to know what it is, nor do I care for some witty response involving me stalking you due to lack of vagina or some shit, just a simple yes or no question..
3) Do you even wear the Hundreds clothing?.
4) Did you enjoy any movies that came out this summer? Just wanted to throw that out their to give you more to type. Or not. You’re a feisty one.

Subject: I meant “there”
Just wanted to throw that out “there”. Ah, hell, you’re going to post that one anyway. Or not. You’re a feisty one.
Dear Spunky,
1. I don’t honestly have any opinion about the sex lives of my readers (or lack thereof). I went back and read the past few months of my entries and while I do mock my answer-seekers from time to time, it’s most often for lack of intelligence not for lack of sex life. That being said, I can insinuate pretty much anything I like, because this column is called “Ask Yasi” and as it turns out, I am Yasi. And while I may think of it as tough love, you too are entitled to think of it anyway you like. You are also entitled to not read it. As for my brash and thoughtless assumption that the people who read my column wear streetwear, I suppose I drew that silly conclusion since The Hundreds is a streetwear brand. Prejudice, thy name is Yasi.
2. “What do you DO?” is actually not technically a yes or no question, but I do find the emphasis on the last “do” quaint. I DO have a job, the reality of which is questionable, but who is to say what is real and what isn’t? Albert Eintstein once said “Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one,” and I happen to agree with him. (Apologies for the philisophy, does that count as “some witty response”?). And I am insulted that you would imply that I actually attempt to help people.
3. Yes.
4. Tropic Thunder.
