	Papasans Unlimited Mamasan Chairs
		The dish in which you sit in on the rattan mamasan chair (or double papasan chair) is seperate from the base, thus allowing the papa sans dish to be tilted to any angle, including the "laid back" position.
		The mamasan chair is throughly comfortable in the upright position, and totally fabulous when used to lie on in the 'laid back' position.
		When the mamasan chair is positioned in its most upright position, it remains a fairly 'laid back' seat, thus having scatter cushions are beneficial to use as a back rest in order to sit in a more upright position.

	Vietnam Veterans' War Stories!: A2C Maxie Pearce (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-05)
		Mamasan and her daughter, Babysan, were a tag-team shoe shine business that could do a thousand pairs of boots in a heartbeat.
		Well mamasan was getting fedup---in fact she was getting pissed, with the implication that her son was a commie-pinko---and she was chattering at Babysan to hurry up and finish the other side of the tent as she finished polishing Maxie's row of boots and shoes.
		Ha-haaaa-ha-yuk." Mamasan's brush was a blur as she buffed another shoe, but finally she finished, and stomped out of the tent.

		Mamasan's worried face suddenly appears as I wake up frightened in the night, her fingers pressed gently against my lips, begging for silence.
		Mamasan takes me up in her arms and rushes through the darkness of the manor, dodging the warring figures that appear briefly in the torchlight.
		"Mamasan, what is happening?" I barely sputter, before she once again presses her hands against my lips and rushes into the darkness.

		Mamasan's laundry washtub-facilities consisted of three garbage cans: one to wash in and two to rinse with.
		As I watched Mamasan and her daughter, Babysan, doing the laundry one day I noticed she was using a fl bar of soap.
		Mamasan looked very bewildered, this soap worked good, it was cheap, she could pocket the extra money, and she didn't understand about the rash.

	SECRET PARTIES OF THE HIPPEST HIP (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-05)
		Mamasan's Bistro, a strictly invitation-only hip-hop supper club now in its sixth year, is held in a large penthouse flat in a modest, unmarked Victorian on one of the few blocks in the Inner Mission that time and gentrification appear to have forgotten.
		She leads you past the motley, multiculti assortment of hipsters, b-boys, yuppies and clean-cut Castro types milling about in the makeshift dining room and into the aroma-filled kitchen, where her daughter and a small crew are busy cooking the night's meal.
		This very casual, "you're not a guest, you're family" feeling is part of the charm of Mamasan's Bistro, and, guests agree, a refreshingly warm alternative to the formal dining experience afforded by upscale restaurants, with their matching plates and silverware and crisp white linens.

	Asian American Film & Video Database: Soap Girl
		Mamasan is a motherly woman but only as far as it pays the rent.
		The parlor's owner is Mamasan (Tomiko Lee) who foregoes the job interview process and hires Maya on the spot, providing food and shelter and a fashionably slutty new wardrobe.
		The other girls at the parlor are initially wary of Maya, who is visibly uncomfortable with a few aspects of her work...especially the prerequisite "happy ending" that most of the customers expect (this is not the place where one seeks out a therapeutic Swedish massage).

	Pan Asian Restaurant Reviews
		We have had fried spring rolls at Mamasan's that were far from fresh.
		Their service is a little slow at times, because of a slow kitchen, but that makes a leisurely dinner all that more leisurely.
		Mamasan's excels in good service, friendly hosts, unrushed atmosphere, and they don't hassle customers who order a single dish to share.

		What he did see was an unmistakable improvement in the mood of the mamasan, who usually reminded him of a water buffalo with toothache.
		Jak was sitting too far away to understand anything that was said, but he could tell from the bodily gestures that the farang was not raising the matter of his missing card.
		At the end of the night, when the bar was about to close, the mamasan, heavy-lidded, full-lipped, approached Jak on a slant across the room.

	David Willson, Another War Story or Two
		Mamasan had taken one pair of my several pairs of jungle boots and had been polishing the fl leather parts of them to the usual obsidian shine.
		Mamasan had slammed my boots down under my cot.
		When Mamasan told me to go home it never occurred to me that the Vietnam War would fuck anybody up or that it had fucked me up.

	The Schlock Diaries
		I swear, the difference between a good school and a great school is information/managing expectations.
		Actually, let me veer off a little (who Mamasan?) and note that the different between being good and great in life is managing expectations.
		Doesn't really make sense but if you think about it, you know that information is power and whether you want to surprise someone or let them down easy, you have to give them enough information to digest (or not).

	The Mamasan From Hell
		Na was 34 years old and although the face wasn't the greatest, she seemed to still have a good body and her English was pretty good.
		When I told her it was her, all she said was OK and went off to speak to the cashier to arrange her barfine.
		This was 200 Baht more than the other girls, which she explained off as "mamasan extra!" Oh well, what the hell, my negotiated short time rate was surprisingly lower than I expected so things pretty much evened out.

		There is a fairly large area with a bar and various tables and a dance floor (not used very often) The girls are nice enough and plentiful but, no costumes etc due to the local restrictions.
		Drinks are cheap enough, and the practice here is that having seen the mamasan, the girl will ask you where you are staying and then leave on her own and meet you there!
		No need, she came over and told the girl I wanted to be with for the rest of my life (Oh, alright for the rest of the night).

	DINING OUT - ENTERTAINMENT
		One of the great difficulties for foreigners who run ogling dens is speaking the Thai language with a proficiency that allows them to understand what is going on behind their backs.
		I mention this because an ogling den may possess all the requisite elements to be successful, yet it may fail or not realise its potential due to the ability or otherwise of the mamasan, the woman who exercises control over the dancing maidens.
		Now it’s being alleged that some of the little dolls, vixens and pussycats are being told by the mamasan what they must ask from a prospective folk dancing partner.

		The fact that a girl has a mamasan should not be construed as indication that she's in a trafficked situation.
		While regrettably, many of the Viets were sold into the business by their parents, knowingly I might add (and in some cases the girls are second-generation prostitutes), some girls will remain under the authority of a mamasan even after the debt is paid off as this situation provides some measure of security for the girl.
		Conversely, she may have entered into an arrangement with the mamasan on her own, taking a debt, and using her body as security.

	FSB Hill 4-11 Stories, Mamasan's Money Pouch
		I told the others about my find, and we surmised that a group of mamasans came down the trail immediately after we had left the night before.
		Because of our presence in the area, they must have been afraid to go to the river during the day to wash their clothes and fill their containers with water.
		Later that day with a lot of sadness on my mind, I gave Mamasan's money pouch to one of the Kit Carson scouts, a former NVA soldier or VC who worked for our company, hoping I could forget about what had happened that day.

	Alive by Pearl Jam Songfacts
		, Columbia, MO It is the masaman trilogy, not the mamasan trilogy.
		The "Mamasan triolgy" is about a boy whose mother esentially sexually abuses him because she remembers her first love, the sons dead father, whom he looks so much like, and the boy goes on to become a serial killer along the lines of the greenriver killer or son of sam.
		There is some truth to Alive in the fact that Eddies father was not the man who raised him and he was not told until after his real father had died.

	Maison Ikkoku by Simonetta Ceglia and Valerio Caldesi Valeri
		Of course, the signs left as they were and disclosed by extra-textual captions, make once more sure that a kind of misinterpretation should have occurred, but the very nature of this mistake is not grasped to the fullest but by those who access the Japanese reading of the sign.
		GP, instead, shifts the homophony towards a rough homography blurring 'Ma Maison' with the new 'Mamasan'.
		Thus, the troublesome transcription 'Mamezô' is purposely missed out over the quasi-homographic script 'Ma Maison'-'Mamasan', a tactic that, although wandering off the Japanese pun, helps a lot more the Occidental readership addressed to by GP's localization policy; accordingly, GP replaces either sign with the Latin writing 'Ma Maison' and 'Mamasan' (see previous ill.).
