Bob memorably said that his wife's back portal was so blown out that he could barely touch the sides. More, Bob, More.

Where can I find a really nice beach with no people on it? -

Next up: What are the pros and cons of living in Thailand? -
You're doing that thing where you argue with a voice in your head again, like when we fought over Bob's Big Boy Burger. Santana was arguably the first world music crossover. If anyone has a right to shamelessly coast for decades, it's Carlos. And what of his stuff with John McGloughlan? Pretty damn jazzy. Prob sold well into the dozens of albums.

I'll be in Galle, Sri Lanka, where I am assured a turkey roast will be served. As to Oscars on Soi 11, I just spent 2 months living in a serviced apartment 100 steps away. At The Chaidee Mansion, which I cannot recco enough. OnMonday night, they offer a third off discounted menu of specials. Have the wagyu burger, the greatest burger of all time. Oscars is a true 5* restaurant with 3.5* prices. As long as I'm here, the Jamaican restaurant across the street from Oscar's is pretty good too. The Oxtail stew is a miss, but have anything else. I went twice a week and did the whole menu.

I gotta agree on Santana tho. Oy Como Va, on the Lotus, Live In Cuba album is my 3rd most played iTune. Tito Puente, the writer of that monster groove, used to pop into a Cuban diner in Jersey City. One night, The Buena Vista Social Club played at that diner, after slaying at Carnegie Hall across the river. The culture of master players and some guy banging on a coke bottle with a rusty nail continues to this day in Latin music. Only Bluegrass offers that same mix these days. Tito would sit in with the house band yearly there for a Christmas benefit for toys for poor kids, supposedly unannounced, but he always had his timbals set up there hours before. I was more excited to see him at that legendary diner (The Hard Grove Cafe) than Bruce, who'd also eat there a couple of times a year.

I have nothing to say about charities. Still Kicking is a sweet guy here. I give a bit to The Red Cross and some guys in Trat who are trying to save the krill, which is the foundation of all sea life in Thailand. And Cabbages and Condoms. https://exofoundation.org/project/cabbages-condoms/ BUT I do want to mention to NoShowJones that I get the humor in his name and have played that novelty country classic a few times. "Tammy had to go and divorce George Jones (uproarious laughter on the live version). They call him NoShow....."

Why Do You Enjoy Posting Here in The Pub So Much?

Sometimes it’s fun to mock and be mocked -
Not that many. Menopause cancels a lot of dance tickets. It aint the Men buying XXXL "It's Wine O'Clock" tee shirts. Who can blame them for checking out after their hormones do? Good looking, educated/interesting, sexual older women do not hit the Red Pill "Wall" nearly so hard. Really, hardly at all. As for the hags dating younger, they have the same into-them lacking that I face. Hopefully, I will find a hot one who's desperate. Otherwise, I have my esoteric interests to fill my time.

Getting Old: Stoic About It or Endless Whinger?
Prubangboy replied to JK-Trilly's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
I'm 72, just broke up with my longterm western wife. 'Still in love, but to quote Monty Python: That parrot is dead, dead, dead. Devoid of life. Everything changes. I'm frontloading my travel to take my mind off of it and because I never know when I will get some bad medical advice. I just know that it's more likely than not in the next 5 years. This year, I did Morocco, Oman, Qatar, Ethiopia, Borneo, Brazil, Peru, Nepal, India, Sri Lanka. Next year, I'll slow it down: Brazil again, Bolivia, Argentina, Papua, Mongolia. If I get a suitable love interest, Tahiti. Maybe some obscure South Sea Islands on the way home. I'm here for a good time, not a long time. So call me semi-stoic. -
Really, why go anywhere, ever? India has some grand historic sites, impressive nature, a world class cuisine. It's like going to Europe, only dirtier. It def killed my desire to visit the various Stan-countries, including the Paka-one. Similarly, I went to Norway and then the rest of Scandinavia and Iceland felt redundant to visit. Turkey is about the best of the lot between here and Europe. Oman could be 5 good days due to the extreme landscape. Ethiopia was properly weird, but too much work. Like $150 a day all in, on the Intrepid tour. So, Thailand prices, just a bit less user-friendly.

That show promised to examine the diff between sex tourists and passport bro's and then it didn't. Is a passport bro a wife-seeker, or just here for a good time? Because both those types of people have been here since the 70's? That's why I think a passport bro is just another Red Pill true believer with a revenge fantasy that fatties back home are ruing the day that their feminize ways drove away such prize males. As if.

Agreed: Feminist nag, sensitive Thai sociologist, blokey bloke, a fake peek at the "dark" side, then a hottie who's up for a Swedish boyfriend. All of these shows are the same. A passport bro is just another overseas girlfriend seeker with an anti-feminist speech attached. Like feminists affect anyone's dating prospects any more in the west than the Amish do. Had a vacation down in São Paulo this year, a renowned passport bro place. I have a friend who moved there for the women. In his Portuguese class of 15 guys, there's one other passport bro. It's just hype. Like Global Nomads supposedly being everywhere, but you never encounter one.

Can't really fault this take. No meal I've had measures up to the Indian options on Soi 11. The towns are all mobile phone stores selling mobile phones to each other. The traffic is horrendous. Lovely people, but no sanuk. Sri Lanka is apparently Indian-Laos. Both places are def one and done's. I'm on a couple of Intrepid tours. A bit lefty in that you peek into the ladies carpet co-operative or have tea with a Jain family. They do a pretty good job of ferrying me around. Using public transport would be hard here. I flew 4 times; my luggage went missing twice. Hotels are indistinguishable from each other. The Taj Mahal was derangedly crowded. Goa is a dirty dump. But I have in fact won the game of life if I can decide on a whim to book into a month of tours, and then be chill when they're a little bit of a letdown. Booked 2 weeks in Mongolia with Intrepid for June. Every other day is 7 hours on a bus through yurt-land. Fly direct from BKK, 6 hours. Ulan Bator is rated as the worst town in Asia, but I booked The Shangri-La next to a high end mall.

But as long as I'm here: 'Just read an 700 page bio of Che Guevera while on my India tour. This execution is something the ol' beret wearing icon would approve of and do. It's possible that we're entering a Che-style era of extra-judicial protest-killing. Surfing Reddit, the approval this murder gets is about 95%. Che and Fidel took over Cuba with very few men; it was the soft approval of the population that put them over. The hardening of the hearts of average people against the rich in this incidence reminds me of that. Said JFK (referencing Che): "When peaceful change is impossible, revolution is inevitable". Sidebar: I see Che on posters all over India, urging youth to join the communist party. 60 years after the bullet to his head, he's still scaring people. I am of the left and have some amazing evil insurer tales. But if this gets traction, it will be a disaster. Who wants to live in American Falluja? The right is already itching to use the army against civilians in the states. It's important to separate grievance from the right to murder. I see that separation being blurred on the left and the right will very soon be returning the sentiment.
