LEGEND

EVERY YEAR since the beginning of time...........people have said the DOLLAR will go to zero.   and every year it doesn't.....

HOWEVER, there is a push/pull relationship..........

Dollar up/stock market down.   or the reverse.   

Oil denominated in USD

I don't think the USD will keep going up BECAUSE the stock market is going to 100,000 and oil is going to $200.    

Right now it's in the "Illuminati range".      strong enough to create a thread, but not strong enough to call me on my bat phone.

lol

WRONG

Friday:  Americans in Thailand who are undercover CIA operatives

               Chiang Mai, my appointment is at 9:32 a.m.  

lol

Look clowns, nobody wants the embassies overworked by 1 million jokers showing up every day saying, "can I get my vax today because last week I was drunk with a hooker and missed my appointment."

IF Americans were dying at a crazy rate in Thailand due to COVID, then it might be different.  Maybe it's different in India.  

Irony:
 

Today I had to do some business with my Thai gf.   One lady (out of four) is very concerned about me and COVID.   Asking 1000s of questions about what I was doing months ago.....soo strange. it was slightly insulting, but there was an error on one of our forms so maybe that triggered something (wrong date).  

She was NOT wearing a mask, I was.

An hour into the conversation she left and came back with two masks on.  lol

I'll never really understand anything.....lol

That's not what he's saying IMO. It's YOUR responsibility to protect yourself and family, not everyone else's to protect YOU, and I agree.

Too many nanny state believers in the world IMO.

i don't understand your comment, but it's a comment on a joke.

Would point out it's up to you not to get yourself or your family members near other people.

If you weren't there, they couldn't cough on you!

What?????????????????????  You mean keep your family indoors 24/7????  You mean never go to immigration???  Never let them take their kids to school?  Never go to 711?  This has been 19-months!!!!!   what about the people who deliver food and stuff to the house???  

hahhahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahaha

Amazing how people are happy to get mysterious chemicals in them...

oh, humans........not the sharpest tool in the shed

This is why you have a burner phone and burner bike.   His day-to-day car is a Lambo.   

Defense?   Yes, your honor, a ghost was living on his bike and not letting me win the lottery.

Interesting story.........................................................500 baht...................................... next!!!  

you know what people who don't wear helmets say??

nothing.

dead.

lying in the dirt acting like the most dangerous place to ride isn't dangerous to them.

crocodile tears.  

I'm amazed this business I went to today isn't shut.   My Thai is intermediate, and my fingers work....

I POINT to this drink I want...... lady looks at me.  we have a little small talk.  She puts ice in a glass and grabs the wrong bottle.  

I say NO, I want this one......pointing.   touching the bottle.   Thai, fingers......lol

she immediately grabs another bottle and pours......

I act like I'm the most confused man on the planet for about 5-seconds, no words.......can't lose face, smile, make eyes looks like I just saw something impossible to explain.

i won't go back, but next time I'll pour it myself........

What's the procedure if you tested positive?

 paying about 97249832479832473820947324983274329874 baht

luckily I have that in spare change 

Despite feeling GOOD, went with the wife last week and got tested.  It was over 1,000 baht but less than 1,500......forget exactly.   You know how it is......wife hears stuff, gets a little paranoid, and worries until I give her peace of mind.  

of course negative.

anyone else get tested?   how much was it?  

I knew it was negative when the lady giving me my results got a little close with the results.....she wasn't worried.  lol

I did get within 2 meters of someone last night while shopping.  but i won't get tested again.   lol

i showed them my flash drive and said, "I want to declare 100 billion dollars in Bitcoin."   

just use all your cash to buy gold......cash out in spain and make big money.  gold to 3000 easy

wire it all to me....I'll send you a cashiers check.

buy lottery tickets.....

once i had 10 million and got nervous.  put it in a bottle with a note and threw it in the ocean......still waiting....any day i think

Oh wait, I must change my vote!!!!   

I assumed you meant October, 2087.    

You mean this year?  like, THIS year???  2021?????   

Like in about three months?????  Three hundred years is possible.  lol

Yes, they have treated some foreigners very badly and a few of the foreigners have contacted lawyers and usually the cases were settled out of court.

Very sad.  99% of these stories have this kind of tone.  I've seen it, been a part of it, and luckily I only taught for a few years in the past and moved on.    

I never read, "foreigners were treated great."    lol

definitely try to get all the money you can.   they tried to exact your soul for 100 baht a week, so smile and do the best you can.   The "best" is when they make you feel guilty for getting paid........yea, that's a nice touch.   

it probably costs them nothing if they say no.......but they will make bank if you simply say, "OK."   I would dedicate months on this, and then let it go if nothing happens.  

don't be selfish......be thankful they are helping humans on our planet!!

Each dose has a blue bow with the flag of Taiwan and the words, "Taiwan is a great country, send us more semiconductor chips, and we will sort-of help you against those who carry a red book."

If American sent doses to Thailand...... the response, "Thanks bro, next time in Pattaya you get 20% off falang price."

There were 66 employees there running the business that was backed by a Chinese investor,

Clear pattern.   Chinese crime in Thailand is way more elaborate than dumb falang.

Falang arrested for drinking beer, crashing car, falling into lake, attacks ladyboy, sleeps in Tesco

Chinese arrested after running a 1.97 zillion dollar enterprise.
