I read bagel as being slang for rear end in a top hat, I think because of this:

I think it's funny that there's a "nonspecific Asian and Pacific Islander" heritage festival. Why not just call it "Census Designated Racial Category C Heritage Festival"

A lot of the polynesian population is crossed between Asian cultures and pacific islanders. Naming them all would be a huge list. It's much easier to name the continent and then a broad spectrum of islander locations. My friend's wife is Japanese/Maori. Just to rattle a few off the top of my head, you have Laos, Japan, Koreas, Veitnam, malaysia, Indonesia, Philipines, Maori, Samoa, Micronesia, Tonga, Fiji, Hawaiian, etc. So yeah, Asian and Pacific Islander is a shitload easier and much more inclusive.

On the whole bagel thing: a friend of mine went to college in Limerick and that word is definitely popular there as an insult and slang for being stoned (oh man, I am so bagelled) or drunk. The guy in the picture looks to be a traveller and Limerick has a huge traveller community. I've heard the word used as a generic insult so there is no real meaning behind it.

Sorta, gypsy is taken as an term of offensive, Traveller is the name used by the community themselves and society.

Anyway, semi-related funny picture:

So proud. genuinely, he's great.

Moari and Japanese cultures could not be more different. There may be some similarity between south east asian and polynesian cultures (maybe? I can't think of any, but I'm happy to be corrected), I think the joke is more that it's the "34rd" event.

Considering there's no way a cat would let you tattoo its ear without being sedated I think it's probably obvious which one it is.

Fair enough, but on the other hand it's Bart Simpson on the inside of a cats ear and the last thing she expected when she looked in there.

He's saying that it's not cruel because the cat must have been sedated, so it must be funny. It's in the funny pictures thread. QED.

I've seen distinctive tattoos on animals suggested as an identification method, but usually it's numbers.

It seems to have been around since the seventies:

"Throw 'em a fake and a finagle,
They'll never know you're just a bagel"
("Razzle Dazzle" from Chicago)

The Wikipedia disambiguation page states that "bagel" is slang for "zero", which makes sense.
