Gou Rou Xiang Rou Pit Bulls are delicious!

If they turn on your knob, then why are you complaining?

I assume you mean Demi Moore in her military uniform. That film was over-rated. I'm not into GI Janes. Too many Toms around here, as it is...

I will take this as a compliment. Or, a condiment, like rhubarb, or pickles.

It's not as easy as it looks. Believe me.

Sounds logical.

Although our world will surpass 10 billion lost souls, within the next few decades, yet, so true is the fact that we are already living in a greying world, inescapably. Young people today are smart enough to see what is just beyond the horizon. And, they are now educated enough to not wish to subject children, especially children that they can avoid having, to this grey world, a world which is now not here nor there. But never fear. Our world population of lost greying souls is on the rise. Most of you reading these words will see world population hit 10 billion, even while simultaneously witnessing our world's ecosystem take a nosedive. It is now written in stone. If only we could increase our fertility! Because, China's population is now already crashing.

1984, revisited? (shades of grey)

During my years in Thailand, I have read much about Isaan. Yet, little of the quality of the kitchen sinks of Isaan have I read. Isaan is a place I wish to visit. I can feel Isaan beckoning me now, in my increasingly advanced age. I feel some sort of rejuvenation coming on, just in the mulling of the romanticized name, Isaan.

Fair enough, and well said, but... Did you ever get the feeling that maybe SHE is also watching you, from behind, while you do the dishes, and getting frisky?

Having alluded to Tom Cruise in a previous comment, clarification is necessary: This topic is mostly about Bogdanovich's wonderful farce, NOISES OFF, as well as his other great films. Right? Tom Cruise, on the other hand, is mostly a total farce, at least it seems this way from his films. Here is what I mean: aa. Please note this image of Nicollette Sheridan in her beautiful white panties, in the movie Noises Off. She is fetching. bb. Now, please compare Tom Cruise in his white panties. He is not so fetching. He is a farce. And, Risky Business was twice as humiliating for Cruise as Noises Off was titillating and uplifting for most people. cc. Furthermore, who would you rather have washing dishes in your kitchen sink? The answer is obvious.

Re... The Film, NOISES OFF.... HATS OFF, to Peter Bogdanovich! RIP, to Peter who died last year at age 82. Bogdanovich was a name to be reckoned with in filmdom, etc. He did not produce the insipid fantasy films of today. He lived during a time when Men were Men, and when the Director's target audience understood English. So Solly: These days, movies are indistinguishable from computer games. And, the target audience is not fluent in English, and most have never read a decent novel. So sad, on so many levels. Still, we still have Tom Cruise.... And so, all is not lost.

Dearest Friends, You KNOW that it is just so very true! But why? Have you ever, and I know that you have, been relaxing, drinking your evening coffee, after a fine meal, only to watch your GF or Wife washing dishes in your kitchen sink? Thar she stands! Her behind is towards you, and she is intently scrubbing plates, pots, and pans, in your kitchen sink, and her behind is so fetching as she scrubs and scrubs to make her sink sparkle. SHE is so fully focussed on her work that she has not a thought in the world for you. YOU, on the other hand, are focussed mostly on her, as you watch her from behind. And, with each plate or cup she scrubs, and with each move she makes, your interest increases until you almost cannae stand it. You cannae wait! I believe that it is just these underappreciated moments in life which makes our otherwise humdrum existence here in Thailand almost bearable. And, in this same vein, I would like to ask your opinion about a sex-farce film starring one of my all-time favorites, Michael Caine, a man for all seasons, in every way. I am talking about this film: NOISES OFF (1992) If this film does not give you a chuckle, then…what might? No need to thank me, but thank Caine, instead. In my opinion, very few films, these days, are even half as hilarious. Yet, maybe films such as this are not your cup of tea? Regards, Gamma Note: Enjoy, if you will…. Note2: Or, are you just too busy watching her wash your dishes?

By the way. A very important final note of mine: Richard Smalley once wrote an essay in which he entirely and absolutely credited his mother for encouraging him, throughout his life, to finally reach his success in Chemistry, and to be awarded the Nobel. Smalley was stating just how important parenting can be for children. So, anyway, I just wished to mention this. You can read his essay, if you wish. And, please let this be a caution to you mothers. Regards, Gamma

I very clearly recall listening to Richard Smalley state, during one of his presentations just before he kicked the bucket, that American students are no longer willing to do the very hard work required to excel in the Natural Sciences. He stated that most students, at the time he was speaking, preferred to study Social Sciences. And most students who could tough it out, and work hard, in the Natural Sciences, were Asian. MOST of you GUYS have no idea what a BUCKYBALL might be, I know. You also might not know who Buckminster Fuller might be. What is a tetrahedron, for that matter? Anyway, I thought I would just post this because....Dr. Richard Smalley, of RICE University, is no small potato in the field of Chemistry. He DID deserve his Nobel. And, Bob Dylan did NOT deserve his. So, then, how much are we to invest in teaching our next generation? By the way, I would have far preferred to see Matt Dillon, of Gunsmoke, receive a Nobel, rather than Bob Dylan. If you do not know who Matt Dillon is, then here is a short reminder...(Enjoy).

Sometimes I wonder why anyone would buy a condo in Miami, rather than to buy a Concert Grand Piano (Model D), in New York City. Well, of course, the condos in NYC are so small that you would not be able to fit one into your NYC condo, unless you were to sleep on top of it, or inside it. You can buy a very nice Steinway for only USD150,000. And, in Miami, for this amount of money, what do you get? Only a shack that will very soon be underwater, despite what the Florida governor might tell you. In this forum, it has been said that some people here wish to emulate the Miami model. Well, ..... Are you sure? Would it not be better to pursue some other more sustainable model? Most Chinese people I know invest all their money towards educating their next generation. I feel such great admiration. Take this young girl, for example: Unfortunately, she is not yet playing on a Steinway. Just a Yamaha, so far. Sure. Anybody with money can buy a sinking/stinking condo in Miami, or elsewhere. But, can money buy this??? Can YOU do this? Have you forgotten terms such as social capital and human capital? Very soon, Maybe not today, Maybe not tomorrow, But, soon, The buildings in Miami will be underwater, In more ways than one. And, after the buildings are flooded, This girl will still enjoy playing JS Bach. There is no doubt.

Fortunately, the future world will very soon no longer be my world. Yet, still, no matter my age or location, every breath you take, every move you make, Every bond you break, Every step you take, I'll be watching you. Welcome to your world! Let's all have a moment of silence, Out of respect for, What's to come.

Sir! Very sorry to report, Captain. We just cannae turn her! There's just TOO much momentum in the system! Been there. Done that. Now, let's do it again,... BIG TIME!

Why are there so many USELESS political parties, these days? We only need one geomancying party... Unfortunately, very few wish to become a member of the.... "Save Our World" ...party. Therefore, if one cannot lead a horse to water.....

Personally, I love Angela Hewitt, but I don't know about you. Here is WTC Book 2......part of it. I LOVE Angela.... She is fantastic. I have listened to all of her Bach recordings. Over, and over, and over, again. Amazing.
