Whenever they bring out a burger and fries, it's a long wait for the ketchup bottle. And as Jim Tripper would point out, they know about the ketchup. This aint their first time at the hamburger-delivering rodeo at Wine Connection or Dukes. It's as if a 20 year old with virtually no advancement opportunities doesn't care about how my rich boomer day is going. Other than that, I got nothing.

In fact, there's a swivel chair going begging in the lobby. With wheels. He was very specific.

No need. This building is a cannibus-rich environment. My pot guy came and he was hardly the only pot guy there. My wife is Appalachian and can cook that food at the Tupelo Honey Cafe level. She wants to do Chicken and dumplings with a 2 day broth. And corn bread. Thai people go crazy when the try jalapeño corn bread. We put in extra for them.

He don' need no friends. He can entice 7/11 girls onto the back of his motor bike with his sheer poetry. It's the song Bruce Springsteen forgot to write.

Nah, it's for my wife. No vegan lasagna will be touched until the other one is long gone. Falafel? I read they're doable in an air fryer. But I have my doubts.

We went ages 22- 70. Half under 40. Great group, def will be a reg. thing. We just got an oven. Will do a lasagna bolognese for the next meet up. And a vegan one.

A single person above said he might show up, but only if it was at Blue Grass on Loy Koh Road. It seemed a little Johnny No-Mates to PM him, so I just gave up. Someone else said maybe in Nimman, then other people said never in Nimman. Vehement anti-Nimman sentiment here. Prob jealousy. Whatev. We had the first impromptu hall party last night on my floor, with 2 representatives from other floors.

We're moving to a party a week on my condo floor, so maybe by invite. I def want to invite the guy who thinks he's not worth my time so he can rebuff me as not worth of his.

If only it had happened outdoors so I could have turned a hose on them. Proof that there is no god.

Let me solicit some wisdom on this topic. My 40 year old neigbour had sex with the laundry lady. He wants to keep her as a GF, but be upfront with her that he wants to have a lot of sex with other women. I say this is a bad idea and that he should just have sex on the side discretely, far away; that that would prob be the preference of the average laundry lady-level woman here. What say you?

I encountered a teen age trump trash Broke Back Mountain scenario and I did the right thing. And now I laugh -from afar- at them behind their backs. Not unlike yourself. I went to their church for laughs. Said the preacher, "Sodomy? I'm a-gin it". They found a loophole.

There was a black guy teaching yoga at that huts-place in Nong Khai in the aughts. He overstayed his visa by eight years. It turned out he was a bank robber. We had a chat or two. But he was more about servicing Scandi women. Unsurprisingly, he was also a Tantric Master. He wasn't impinging on anyone. If he could pull Swedish, and I couldn't, no impinging was involved.

Up to the minute report from long-time sidekick of Stickman, Dave The Rave: -Phnom Penh is even dumpier, mosquito-ridden, and potholed post-Covid (can confirm) -huge numbers of Indian and Chinese night life fans -Even huger amount of ladies on offer -"prices approaching BKK levels" 'Do love a graze of Stickman on a Sunday morning. Anyone else follow him? https://davetheravebangkok.com/phnom-penh-bar-scene-2023/

A new one: Trump was so stupid, he thought the Mexican Border was a fat guy in a sombrero who was supposed to pay rent.

Me? Def. But only theoretically. Were I ever legally stuck supporting a child, I would have def hopped the first freight train out of town. By letting women know that up front, who knows how many of my serial killer spawn the world has been spared?

This is some truly infinitesimally small potato's complaining -and hilariously moot. The great, the obscure, have come together with a resounding "not 'affin' it". I aint worthy of their time either. I get, I get it. Am I mad? No. That's just you.

I wanted to convene a veritable Mount Rushmore of the best Chiang Mai posters. I got one very iffy guy I never heard of who's already eyeing the exits. Was I mad?

Salsa Kitchen in Chiang Mai has 'em. Done in the ball park of that recipe. Ordered in twice. Reasonably good, but Mex, like Indian, sort of fell out of my dining options list when I moved here.

The inevitable 3 microwave ovens post is going to go to 9 pages. Relatedly, we have the standard Thai grey fake leather love seat and huge chair combo that we see in at least one out of three condo pics. Nothing keeps a textile from slipping off of it. We tried fabric tape; just a complete dead loss.

Gamma, is that you?

No Adderal here either. Def see a psych. Not expensive here. Do you have a prescription from home? 'No interest in judging you, but why do prefer not to have a prescription?

So far, you're the only luke warm RSVP.

As a long term marrieds, I love having a large one bedroom corner unit so we can get away from each other. Two rooms, about 55 sqm per room. We also have a wrap-around terrace for bong hits., but like most Thai balconies, you'd be hard pressed to fit a sun bed out there. At this life stage, I'd still want a lot of space even if I was single. Like SpiderMike said, space around you is the ultimate luxury. We were in a 60 sqm one bedroom for 20K a month in The Nimmana, a very plush condo with all the trappings. Now we're in concrete oldie down a quiet soi for double the space for 25K a month. For Nimman, that's a good a deal.

Love 'em but feel they do better with added sautéed ginger/garlic/black pepper/cardamon. 'Like to cook all the aromatics down to a goo, then add the jarred sauce, then cook it some more, than add broth to desired consistency. When I lived in rural America, I'd get 'em Amazon'd in. But I eventually went purist, made my own ghee, and did my own spice mix. 'So easy to do and so much fun to see what goes with what and have less turmeric in the mix. Indian spice is best stripped down a bit. Chicken with mustard seed, ginger and bay leaf in a bit of ghee is my fusion breakthrough. Is a baltic curry available anywhere in Thailand.

A roast is just about the lowest, cheapest form of show biz, maybe a step above rodeo clowns. Get a bunch of has-been comedians to crack predictable jokes about another has-been. Splice in implausibly overwrought, hysterical laughing from the various dead weight participants. Dean Martin, the laziest person ever in show biz, had the stupidest roasts. But this format has been almost completely dead for at least 30 years. Next up: Gamma ponders why the Love Boat wasn't filmed on an actual boat. Or: Gilligan's Island -why did The Professor keep pushing Ginger away? Was Gilligan his intended end-game all along?
