That film had an extended run in New York. The 90's fascination with available sex in an exotic land knew no bounds. This was all pre-anal sex pics by the millions on the internet. Just the thought of getting a blowie without having to be a boyfriend was mind-blowing.

My fave Tucker quote: "I can't see why I'm supposed to be mad at Putin. Did he kill my dog? No".

Your contributions would be more valuable if you had read the book -or any similar book at all. Or if you had, and were willing to talk about it. But nothing like that is going to happen here, am I right?

Hello My Big Honey was the first to puncture the myth of the girlfriend experience. Prob was a big earner. The only other title on the shelf to buy was the deeply wretched Occidental Adam, Oriental Eve.

The book in question is about BARGIRLS telling their side of things. Only you and you alone -possibly in the universe- would hold their accounts as gospel.

Legend has it (that would be: Stickman) that the ultra-cutie on the cover used to stand outside of Nana holding the book to attract customers.

To be fair, he MARRIED the heir to the Swanson fortune. If he's on substack or twitter, it's a much shallower reach and much less likely to be reported on. The mainstream imprimatur of Fox News was a platform that he will never again have. Ask Glen Beck.

You never watched something stupid for laughs? Eternal cynic at genius levels-you?

Seriously?

Does anyone remember this seminal (pun intended) book subtitled "letter between bar girls and their customers"? It was from this genius tome that the first water buffalo has died-cash request was reported. Sadly, my fave book category, whoremonger studies, is completely dead. Hazard Posting (the series) about a fat brit gassing on about bargirls from his stool in the Cockney Heaven Bar in Pattaya was another good 'un. Did you read these books back in the day, and hopefully, did you write one? I still see Yellow Fever on the shelf here.

Tucker has issued a statement: "I did nazi it coming".

Slate has a theory that Fox has wanted to dump him for a while, partic over his claim that no riot at the capitol happened -at all- but were afraid of him turning on them during the Dominion Trial. Settlement done, time to take out the trash. Fox's new problem is that just generally going after "The Media" and "The Liberal CRT Conspiracy" is too vague and unsexy. They need a new hate object to go into a rage about like Goldstein in 1984. But Hillary isn't returning their calls. We had the "nonconformist" here the other day, raging about coma-victim Biden, but hate-wise, Biden is a hard sell. Hence, now nonconformists go after the "The Biden Crime Family", which is rather pointedly not about Biden himself. Antifa? Vanished without a trace. Black Lives Matter? On a l-o-n-g vacation. What lefty boogie man can they now invent to keep dim wits and uh, nonconformists amped up? Time for another "caravan" arriving at our border that never seems to actually get there?

A lot of them have radio shows. I for one am glad that my link to Dan Bongino is not completely severed. He wept like his Mom died when Trump got fingerprinted. So imagine the hilarious wailing to come.

Rod Dreher, another right wing loser I follow for laughs, got bounced from American Conservative for going too weird on the pedo issue. He's now working at a Hungarian think tank. So basically a foreign agent. But Tucker will have better options. We must take a moment to laugh out loud at the nonconformist right wing blogosphere. As I understand it, noncomformist means penniless and cheapskate. George Neidermeyer, a conservative catholic blogger died recently in Africa while chasing some bit of fat dashiki-wearing strange. He said before he died on his twitter that his best ever year as a conservative journalist was about $32K and he was living with his sister in central Florida -which is like Haiti for white bible thumpers.

She's got the receipts and another giant check writing is at hand. His sitting devoutly like a dim witted Irish Setter during the Trump interview (more of a rapt listening session) after say how much he hated him was sweet. I was hoping for more humiliation for him before the inevitable heave-ho, but he'll take care of that himself. He called Sydney Powell a rhymes with runt. Classy.

Again I must cite Spinal Tap: Going from Fox superstar to Heritage Foundation spokesperson is like when they went from playing stadiums to opening for a puppet show. He'll do his own thing, no shortage of backers. No teary last show means he was fired and fired hard. They're going to rotate hosts in his time slot, so that means he was also fired fast. He's sitting in a low rent bar with Dan Bongino singing, "Brother, Can You Spare A Dime?".

Drama Queen (I mean that both ways) Don Lemon just got bounced too. Gotta be a downer for Don that his own bounce is completely overshadowed by his nemesis.

Let us now reflect nostalgically on the era of reveling in "liberal tears". Shoe's on the other foot now and that trend is just getting rolling. Sometimes, I forward bits from here to other political board posters. Trump as a "nonconformist" got about 15 laughs. So please, Trump boneheads, more, please more.

It was great to see baldie Bongino bounced too. I loved his stammering and implausible, "we just couldn't come to contract terms", like it was a gentleman's disagreement instead of a bum's rush and a butt kick onto the 6th Avenue pavement. In the right wing world, a lot of cranks are trying to clamber into the few paying lifeboats. Time for the nickel a word gig at The American Spectator? That means another conservative has-been has to give up a byline. Is Maria Bartiromo cleaning out her desk and cancelling future balloon-like lip implants to save money? I'd take that bet.

Good for Tucker. I mean that in the same spirit, I might say, "Hitler? Say what you will, but no one rocked the brown suit look better". Tucker can do his own thing like Meghan Kelly. His brand is bigger than Fox's brand at this point. It's a shallow bench at Fox, so now maybe a third Jesse Watters show in his time slot? Will Tucker have longevity as an indie or will he fade like Glen Beck? He'll have to really ramp up the Q-anon to keep the fervor going, but really, who better? If I'm a militia crazy who has some dynamite and a plan, who's my first call? Not has-been Hannity. I look forward to his exciting new direction (joke from Spinal Tap).

It's terrible. But I have a trainer every day and do protein shakes. Down .8 kilo a month times 7. In a main tourist area here, you have access is to high-end, high-concept vegetarian food (but prob not in Buriram). On soi 33, there are 6 such vegan/veg restaurants within 10 minutes of each other. In Chiang Mai, the same number within the same 10 minutes of my condo. There's no place on earth better than Thailand where you can eat so healthily for so little. And I'll bet the produce in Issan is a letter grade better than in Bangkok. -Loved your work in Carry On Nurse, Mr Jamison.

I like when they rouge up the nips. And even further south. Ah, it's been a great life. A lot of sex. And a lot of nutty sex. Hard to get non-vanilla here. I went to the Demonia S+M nightclub with my farang wife last week. Same old drinks-buying pressure with a fake lesbian show instead of pole-dancing. But only 1200 baht for a couple with 2 drink tickets -and they had Johnny Black Label. Best songkran ever.

If a woman is really into me and she's a 6, she's knocked up to an 8. If she's a 9 and looks at me like something she'd scrape off of her shoe, she's demoted to a 7. They actually get better and worse looking before my very eyes. Medically, I wonder how they do that.

I can't believe people are mis-naming Nobby. Oh, well. Been to Buriram, had a nice 2 day-time, but the food is in the colorful, folkloric realm of a Mark Weins video, or a stolid pub serving up a steak. Restaurant economics argue against specialty options and upscale Japanese options in a place without a sizable cohort of affluent, educated people. Buriram can't measure up to Bangkok any more than Cincinnati can compete with New York. They don't have the demographic who can and will spend for 5*. So it's not there. You can get a lovely piece of tilapia right out the pond, but you can not get cheffy treatment of that fish. We spent 6K baht on a pre fixe meal for 2 of tricked up Lanna food in Bangkok (great, but a one and done). That's not possible in Buriram. In my Appalachian homeland (excuse me for living), they make a big deal out of how nice the BBQ is -because BBQ is low-grade swill that a monkey could fall out of a tree and make. Even the so-called expensive restaurants in the Blue Ridge Mountains serving upscale southern food like corn bread in a little iron frying pan are subpar compared to having the same food in a tourist Mecca or a major city. Tourist and Yuppies = food scene.

If you live in beautiful nature, that's the attraction, not dining, not nightlife. Having just left living in the Blue Ridge Mountains -I know, I know, personal story; what gets into me?- I had to drive 40 minutes to a little town with a cafe, a McDonalds, and a Walmart. I moved there from Manhattan. When I first got there, I asked where we go to eat. She said, "the kitchen". Previously, the only think I kept in a refrigerator was vodka and Sri Racha sauce. It's absurd to keep claiming that these empty places have a lot of restaurant choices. Without tourist money, Fuji Sushi at my mall doesn't need to make up that many tuna rolls on the average day. Nor does there need to be a 2nd Fuji Sushi outlet in a non-farang town.
