Yes I know it has been ask many times before Christmas
bendejo replied to still kicking's topic in General Topics
Back in the 1980s a Japanese fellow told me they started promoting Valentine's Day in Japan in a big way, every girl wants chocolates and of course the guys have to comply. Xmas is about retail, especially in the US where they have even have (unofficially) designated shopping holidays. People are coming up with all these statements about the history of Black Friday but I can tell you that I first heard that term in the 1990s. And no, the day after Thanksgiving WAS NOT the start of the xmas season, that began around the 8th of December (a Catholic day of observation) and the first Sunday of Advent. Xmas has evolved from a Christian holiday into something else. Most Jews I know celebrate xmas by going to a Chinese restaurant and a movie. -
Indian passengers turn Thai AirAsia plane into party zone - video
bendejo replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
Had a similar experience on a Bell bus from Bkk to Pattaya, a bunch of drunken Indian guys (over 30 y.o.). I had the impression the woman conductor wanted to pull over and throw them out right there on the road. -

Yes, the leopard was spotted, as most leopards are. And? 😊 -

ABC & G.Stephanopoulis made to pay & apology to Trump
bendejo replied to riclag's topic in Political Soapbox
Probably more like a payoff to keep him off their backs for the next four years. Go through the news of the past few weeks and look at how many donations he has collected from his stable of oligarchs in the guise of funding his inauguration ceremony. Hey, they never did clean up that scandal re the 2017 ceremony either, eh? Just made it disappear from the media. If the subject comes up again you can bet your bippy ABC isn't going to cover it. -
And on the morning of January 20th they'll have to send someone around to the Justice Dept. and wake Garland up, tell him he can go home now. No more excuses, I put his lack of action as a factor in this re-election. The guy is a political/judicial gelding. To hell with his back-story and resume, he failed his moment when history called upon him. A disinterested AG and a corrupted SCOTUS, god bless America!

The way he talks about these authoritarian strongmen he sounds like a teenage girl fantasizing about the Prince Charming who will one day appear and sweep her off her feet. It's a fetish.

Does a terrible pointing job in that picture. If he can't do decent pointing he doesn't belong in LOS. -
British Man Arrested for Jewellery Theft from Tourists in Pattaya
bendejo replied to webfact's topic in Pattaya News
Truly amazing the number of people who have distinctive tattoos that do not understand the inconvenient qualities of being distinctive. I would guess that LE has body art recognition software. On the other hand he could have worn a shirt like everyone else. Schmuck. -

Elton John Speaks Out: Legalizing Cannabis is a Grave Mistake
bendejo replied to Social Media's topic in World News
Yet another retired popstar warning of the evils of the world. Put it this way -- his audience isn't the kids, it the middle-aged parents. Long live Keith Richard, he'd never make a speech like that, unless a court ordered him to. He'll die with a needle in his arm. -
Gop Nancy Mace assaulted on the Capital grounds.
bendejo replied to riclag's topic in Political Soapbox
Her personal raison d'etre seems to be "there is no such thing as too much attention." Her and M Kelly should be donating generously to trans-support organizations so they can further their careers by keeping the threat and outrage going. -

Nobody wants to get old, but nobody wants to die either. -
Why do "little people" vote for their executioners?

"People are coming up to me with tears in their eyes, they never thought in their lives they would ever see such a plan . . . " Soon, yet again, next week will be infrastructure week, and always will be. -
