  1. Yuna Sushi So 11/1. Like eating down an alley in Tokyo, or a high end Japanese bank lunch place in Manhattan. Maybe 20% more expensive than usual, but a real education. Have his mixed Sashimi of the day. Yuna himself cuts the good fish to order.
  2. I have bible-dyslexia. Whenever I see a word and a number separated by a colon (Religious dull guy: 12-24), I can no longer read even a single word further. Why do not religious nutters know this? It's the textual equivalent of bad breath.
  3. The bad part of normalcy is that it correlates with dullness. I see everywhere the complete collapse of the ability to tell a story, amusing or not. I got trapped at Starbucks today with a guy who had a lot to say about how the old Braun electric razor was better. If you're not popping out the funny Braun electric razor facts or anecdotes by second #30, you're basically dead to me. It's tragic, but the banter here is usually better than real life.
  4. Golden era-ThaiVisa advice was to watch out for the 7/11 cuties. They were the willful home-wreckers. Have looked into Chiang Mai charities and expat gatherings in terms of other white couples. We see a lot of fund-raising going on but no one tossing a 1,000 baht into the pot. They have a thing called The Algonquin Club where you have to be invited to join. Not a concept I'm particularly drawn to. I'm smoke-dodging in Hua Hin. I go to breakfast at Pat's Place and every old Scandi/German sitting there is the same: Hard Rock Teeshirt and Nike shorts, head shaven, ray bans. So no diff than any mid-level seaside resort in the states. I see plenty of normalcy eating a schnitzel every 20 feet here.
  5. What about perverts who aren't criminals? I think the technical definition of such people is: friends.
  6. I moved here with my white wife. A few dozen bringing a ham sandwich to the picnic jokes later, we have become normalcy status symbols. Our mere presence provides a warm bath of normalcy for many a monger or pothead. Older Thai women seem very approving. A guy who's being supported by his parents pimped us out as normalcy-provers when his family visited. I got a free pizza out of it.
  7. When I was young, I had a chance to have sex with a name actress (in a Spielberg film), but my friend was much more into her so I stepped aside -and then he blew it. So that. Also: Not catching Miles Davis live, even though he was fairly terrible by the time I got around to knowing who he was.
  8. With a 30% discount coupon given at the door, about 1800 baht with tax and service. Check their website. Lots of quality crab, scallops, oysters ect. And a first rate Indian/Tandori section.
  9. Guess I have to keep putting in the time. And ditch my not-that-great personal trainer who's clearly keeping people away from me Keeping people away from me? Maybe not. It's a younger crowd. I'm like wallpaper to them.
  10. This is where having pothead friends is a giant step up. They may vague-out, but they're never going to cause a scene.
  11. On the flip side, I once took my hillbilly mother in law to a nice hotel. When we got off the elevator, there was a little couch. She thought that it was her room and started to unpack.
  12. I don't get this at all. I'm focused on doing my 4 big group exercises times 4 reps. I'm either lifting or psyching myself to lift. And everyone else seems to be of the same mind. 'Have not yet had a gym convo in Thailand. 'HAVE discretely check out some bubble butts. As my wife says, a second quick check-out is expected, but don't be obvious and turn your head, let alone really crane it. I like a big woman in the gym. I didn't know this until I started going to the gym.
  13. I had a friend come to visit who had gone slightly mad due to covid quarantine. He got really mad at me for not texting him when we were apart and he was very OCD about food. When people have an anxiety problem, you have to go with it. Confronting them just creates a bigger problem. He asked a restaurant if they could do his pasta in unsalted water. He was willing to explain the concept at length to the Thai waitress. He's an extreme diabetic who shouldn't drink at all, and yet every meal was a series of blood tests first to determine if he could order a glass of Pinot without dying. 120 minutes later, another blood bath. He wanted a salad buffet so that "he could control the amount of chick peas going into his salad". I asked: "What about the new invention called your mouth?". He ordered a salad with chick peas on the side. He felt that they didn't give him enough. "You see, you see? That's what I'm talking about by CONTROL!", he denounced. He was denouncing me too. I get it. But we go back to '92; 'can't really fire him. Def time for a downgrade tho. Call it every other year. At most.
  14. Yeah, but it had repercussions. Which nation leads the world in latex fetishism?
  15. I swear I saw Sparktrader here the other day under a diff name (which I forget).
  16. ....But we can all join hands across the political spectrum and agree that this (NSFW) demands intervention: https://www.sickchirpse.com/catholic-school-forced-cover-up-statues-kid-priest-blow-job/ -No wait, I think it's great. If I were visiting Australia, I'd rate it above the Opera House.
  17. Stupid blasphemy laws and increased penalties for making fun of Jesus over Ronald McDonald come from which end of the political spectrum?
  18. Tom Brown's School Days -"Six of the best" -when will the howling mob come for it?
  19. The right is far more censorious than the left (NSFW): https://www.timeslive.co.za/news/world/2014-09-12-teen-arrested-for-jesus-statue-<deleted>/
  20. But seriously, why isn't this book in school libraries? If Trans people get to have their day in the sun, what about S+M perverts?
  21. At the Radisson Bleu in Bangkok, the Sunday buffet includes half a lobster per person. And it's a big one.
  22. Another vote for EasyBurger, as good as a burger costing 50% more. And: They have Beer Lao Dark.
  23. Sir, I salute you. You have concocted a high end Jimmy Dean Sausage Stick. Contact TGI Friday's immediately. I maybe cook two a year. I'd be a chump and go to an outlet like Rimping and buy the second best cut, Pan so hot that a drop of water skates across it. Add some high heat oil; I like peanut oil. toss in the steak, wait one minute, turn the heat down a quarter for 3 more minutes. Turn up the heat for 30 seconds for the other-side sear. 3 more minutes on the other side. For medium. Trump ruined consuming a well-done steak for all time. It will forever be a joke. I feel bad for the people who like it.
  24. When I was 16, I was able to buy the Story of O from a drugstore rack. Mind blown.
  25. I love Grabcab and no longer having to negotiate through the passenger-side window. I feel bad for those poor Issan family-supporters who don't have the capital for a car or access to one to do Grab, but taxi drivers wore me out over the years. If they would have been happy with a white man tax of 20%, we could have gone to our graves together.
