  1. Maybe a little entertainment for them before arriving. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0120620
  2. He's a militant vegan because he and his cherish all forms of life. And if you disagree with him he'll kill you.
  3. Actually this is getting common in the US with comedians. Do people really buy tickets to these shows to get a preaching or are they there to laugh?
  4. As recently as the 2000 decade when taking the minibus to cross from Malaysia via Sadao the driver would collect the pps while we all waited in the van. There was also some baksheesh involved, I think it was 100b tucked in the pp. This was a big thing in India in the 1970s. There was a whole theatrical performance involving the inspection and rejection of bad notes, mimicked wherever travelers were meeting up. The real purpose was to get more money from you: e.g. you would be offered 9 rupees for your 10 rupee note. This became a running scam on the Ranong visa run, the touts would tell you that your less-than-pristine US notes will be unacceptable by the Burmese. Here is another one, very popular in Bkk 1975: a young couple would be walking down the street, and when you cross paths the guy points to gf and says "you want woman?" while she stands there smiling. Never acted on it, I figured it was an attempted rip-off -- where I come from that kind of setup was called a "murphy." I was staying near Hualumpong, where on the street it was a regular occurrence. But the advantage of staying in that area was the fortune teller lady who sold weed, and the Chinese hotel/restaurant/bordello didn't mind smoking it in the rooms.
  5. Musician celebrities as politicians. Too bad they can't bring back the dead ones -- we could get Tchaikovsky's opinion on how to handle Somali pirates and US seizure of the Panama Canal. Anyone remember Celebrity Death Match? I'd have liked to see them do Waters vs Bono. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0208614/
  6. Kind of looks like Vang Vieng in Lao. The gov't there had enough of the teenage wasteland thing and cleaned it up. Looks like MHS is the new place to be. I gotta wonder how much the BiB squeezes from these kids.
  7. My shaving fetish is Edge shaving gel. Never saw it in any SEA country. Women love it for shaving their legs. A few have stolen mine on the way out.
  8. A publicity coup. He's probably soiling in his undies just thinking about all coverage the divorce trial will give him. As for her, she knows when this is over she'll never have to be concerned about $$$ ever again. He should set his sights on Melania, imagine how the international press will play that one!

  9. Does she speak English with a Kentucky accent, like this guy? 😊 (Mitch Mcconnell) Why should they learn farang language if they are not going to be dealing with farang? Perhaps some people feel it is language imperialism. And on that subject, a few years back there was buzz going around in the media that Beijing was pushing an initiative to get people in other countries to learn Mandarin as their second language. I would expect that someone in the Thai education system accommodated them.
  10. Them and the MAGA guys should have an international fascist olympics. Of course all the European right-wing orgs will be for it. All fights are to the death, otherwise the bout is a draw. All participating countries will come of of it for the better -- a culling of idiots.
  11. In the 1970s there something called a "cruise to nowhere" that was supposedly a bonkfest. If I had the dosh I might have checked it out. Part of the hype was porn actors were among the passengers. Well, that's better than Hal Linden at least.
  12. In the US anyone can start a religion/open a church. And as Chico Marx said "there is no sanity clause." I don't follow this stuff, but the weird got noticeably turned up on this roll-your-own Christianity when Asian countries started getting in on the business. Not long after GHW Bush stepped down in 1993 he went on a tour of South America boosting for Moon, always found that to be odd. In the DC area there seems to be a lot of "Korean American" churches. I recently saw a news report on a Chinese Christian cult in the US that seems to be about abuse and deprivation, cleansing out the devil no doubt!
  13. You can pick your benefactor, and you can pick your nose, but you can't pick your benefactor's kid's nose.
  14. She has webbed feet, she tries to conceal it.
  15. They have money, don't they? He'll take it. Him like money.
  16. Maybe whoever did it was angling for a job at Fox.
  17. I don't know about availability outside the country, but there is a US coffee with chicory called French Market, another is Cafe du Monde. Haven't had it in ages. My guess is some very large food processing company has bought the names.
  18. DT likes to receive gifts. Thai ambassador to US should send him a case of durians. 🙂
  19. Maybe Satan didn't like them using his name without permission.
  20. I haven't spent that much time in Pattaya, but over the years passed through quite a few times. I have never been there when Beach Road was not under repair.
