  1. An extremely modest man was in the hospital for a series of tests, the last of which had left his bodily systems extremely upset.

    Upon making several false alarm trips to the bathroom, he decided the latest episode was another and stayed put.

    He suddenly filled his bed with diarrhea and was embarrassed beyond his ability to remain rational.

    In a complete loss of composure he jumped out of bed, gathered up the bed sheets, and threw them out the hospital window.

    A drunk was walking by the hospital when the sheets landed on him.

    He started yelling, cursing, and swinging his arms violently trying to get the unknown things off, and ended up with the soiled sheets in a tangled pile at his feet.

    As the drunk stood there, unsteady on his feet, staring down at the sheets a hospital security guard, (barely containing his (laughter), and who had watched the whole incident, walked up and asked,

    "What the heck is going on here?"

    The drunk, still staring down replied: "I think I just beat the shit out of a ghost."

    Happy Halloween

  2. Just wondering from those with more experience than me,

    is it possible for a hangover to skip a day and murderate you on the next day?

    kdf

    Yes it is possible - the trick is to drink sufficient for the liver not to be able to remove sufficient alcohol to make a hangover possible.

    Must have been a good session

    Howdy Crowboy,

    Thanks, that just might be it! Hope CM is treating you right.

    On another topic, rather than taking offense, which I am sure was NOT meant, at the comparison of yarn spinning to male cows excreting, I will take this opportunity to try to elucidate, shed some dim light on the topic for one and all not blessed with being from the southwest US or Hawaii or I guess most places with the tradition. Yarn spinning is an art with the primary goal of entertainment. Unlike bulls00t, it is best when it contains a bit of reality or even a greater truth.

    Bull leavings are often done to deceive, that ain't yarn spinning or a tall tail or talk story.

    The tall tales can be told to a group, but meant for an individual, as long as all are at least somewhat entertained. Tall tales can have the teller or an other as subject. An unwritten rule is that

    if the teller is the subject that while the tale can be heroic the teller must always come out a buffoon or dupe at some point. Very easy in my case. The tall tail is never meant to insult or belittle another in the audience other then the teller

    and should be judged both on its immediate entertainment value and possibility of being remembered or (the holy grail) retold. Wiki Pecos Bill for some fakelore that was such a good tall tale that it became folklore.

    If in Texas or much of the US southwest and its evening, especially if there is a campfire and more so if there is bourbon, you are likely to hear a tale tail or several. If in Hawai'i on an evening and there is alcohol, food, Hawaiians, and haoles you can be sure that what you are hearing is talk story, or tall tales, especially if the hoales are eating poi for pu-pu's. I suspect a similar tradition exists in OZ, perhaps with a different name. I certainly have been entertained by a tall tale or several from folks hailing from that continent down under.

    Hope ya do make it down for a night out again or see you in CM. We can share some tall tails again and if you want you can call yours bullpoop.

    I am going to sign my liver up for a membership at Tony's Gym or Bumrungrad surgery, time will tell.

    I'll have 2 of whatever you're drinking :o

  3. Just a reminder......

    Less than a month to go for the BBQ blowout at Tuskers.

    And just to keep the thread bumped, all of the members who signed up under duplicate names with a +1 as well as a primary name +1 have 48 hours from THIS POST to pm me with a great reason for doing so.

    Failure to explain yourself in a plausible manner will result the banning of both names you signed up under.

    You know who you are....and I do too.

    See you in a few weeks for some great food and some great company.

  4. wow someone here really has it in for you-know-who... as yas's recent post on the subject got deleted with no explanation. i would really be interested in hearing the reason for it, as i never noticed anything wrong with that person or his posts.

    I'll be glad to oblige,

    Banned members creating a new user name will be banned again. (and in some cases again and again etc.)

    Discussions of moderation issues are not permitted.

    Have a great thread but please stay within the forum rules here

  5. Thaivisa is a free service. That means it's free for you to use, but it's certainly not free to the man who owns and operates it.

    A new server was recently added (bringing the total to 3) to speed up the forum and it certainly wasn't free.

    The bandwidth is another recurring cost which is certainly not free.

    In the past 2 years the Thaivisa party team has traveled all over Thailand and provided free BBQ and drinks for over 1000 members as a way to give back to the community. In addition to the food and drinks, Thaivisa has also given away shirts, hotel stays and other door prizes. All of these giveaways were certainly not free.

    Have you received as much as an ink pen from another website?

    We understand that some members may consider Asia Friend Finder "tacky", but we also understand that some members appreciate and utilize their service. There are members who have met others thru this service and continue to use it.

    If you're not interested in it's services, simply do not click on it.

  6. Samak bows out

    Former prime minister Samak Sundaravej said he will end his role as leader of People Power Party.

    Samak's former secretary general Theerapon Nop-ampa quoted Samak as saying he had done his best as leader of PPP and to protect the country's democracy.

    "From now on, everything and every decision will depend on the PPP," said Theerapon.

    However he stopped short of saying when he will resign.

  7. I got mine at Direct TV and have seen them at "As seen on TV" in some of the malls.

    But a word of caution.....when you do find one, make sure they have the bags too. Also check that the sizes are correct. They tried to give me a box with 4 rolls of the wrong size bags when I bought mine.

    Buy all the bags you can afford to buy if you're using it commercially.
