I got arrested yearly, ages 17-19 for stopping traffic against the war.

The first time I got laid was on the floor of a Quaker church, between the pews. 

She was in for the '71 DC half a million-er and a virgin like myself.

If nothing else, this thread is an example of why anti Trumpers have no sense of humour.

I'll bite. WHY do anti-trumpets have no sense of humor? Does liberalism kill their souls?  Or was my joke just not up to snuff?

"Orange Man Bad" -over and over again. Where is the pro-Trump humor? Can you cite a single example?

I've found generally men are less 'users' than women.

 

 

Uh-huh.

Tales of HomePro blind-hoping:

When I lived in Bible-land, USA, During the tortuous courting of some godly fattie, guys would be expected to do stuff like change the oil in their car, or cut down trees. This, for someone they barely knew. They were trying to show their Christian Leadership bona fides, but I believe the correct description would be: Chump.

My wife's ex-husband went over to "help" paint a hottie's den, only to find himself painting alone after she painted about a foot and a half of trim and wandered off to text to her friends. Another friend of mine drove a minor rock singer around town and painted her toe nails. And he wasn't even a fetishist, which I could totally respect. He was just a chump.

I recall a Youtube where a cute woman went on Facebook (or whatever it was) and said she needed her car dug out from the snow after a blizzard. She got multiple offers, and one lucky chump showed up and did it for her. Fair play tho, she did provide him with a coffee from the gas station and a donut. When he was done. Hug? No.

Meanwhile, plenty of tik toks about women going to a HomePro in search of a REAL man, only to whimsically come up empty. There is this believe that men are just hanging around like noble knights, looking for a M'Lady to serve.

I have a female friend who complained that no man was leaping up from his airplane seat to help her put her carry-on in the overhead compartment. What kind of infant can't do this? What was in her carry-on, an anvil?

It's completely acceptable to view men as drone-utilities. A lot of blather on Reddit about "high value men".

It's not OK to view women as sex-givers.  But sometimes, f they didn't have sex to offer, they'd have nothing.

hormonal, Lynx-drenched teen boys. .

 

Lynx-drenched; Englishness giveaway or what? It took over the crown from Jovan, Musk for Men.

I like that passive aggressive saddo going "Lynch-drenched? Wha? I.....I donnnn' unnnerstan....?"  Like he couldn't just get it from the context. Just another leg-humping dimwit dinosaur.

My American wife looks in here a bit. She too is a ThaiBeachLover/BritManToo fan. She's met someone from here, and hopes to someday shake the hand of StickyRiceBall, assuming it's not sticky at the time.

Mostly, she thinks of it as a Boomer toilet swirl. Testosterone fading into the sunset, is how she put it. 

From Trump:

"I'm not suddenly lapsing into snoring coma's for me, I'm doing it for you. If they can make me stay marginally awake at my own trial, they can do it to you too -and...and....what about Sleepy Joe?".

"Your honor, the defense requests a recess. Our client needs more Adderall -and a diaper change".

Several decades ago I looked into UC Berkeley's SE Asian Studies master's degree program, going so far as to request syllabi for all the courses. I was decidedly underwhelmed. If memory serves me well, the requirements included a couple of quarters of a SE Asian language, and a smattering of courses in the the history, art, literature, culture, and politics, etc. of SE Asia.

 

Having already studied Thai for close to decade, read extensively about the Vietnam and Cambodian wars and their aftermath, read a fair amount of SE literature, and travelled a fair amount in the region, I didn't think Berkeley's program had much to offer aside from a diploma I could hang on the wall.

 

I don't know if the Master's program you're in is more advanced than the one I described above, but if they're even remotely similar, I'm kind of skeptical that a couple of quarters of beginning and intermediate Thai would provide an adequate foundation for reading historical religious texts. One would encounter a great deal of obsolete clerical, Sanskrit, Pali, and Thai vocabulary, not to mention the challenges of deciphering the handwritten script which has evolved greatly over the centuries.

 

Thanks for your insights. My interest is mainly in modern stuff and interviewing people. Pali etc. is beyond my pay grade, I don’t have years left on the planet for that. My purpose is more hobby learning than being an academic.

I’m learning it for my Ma degree in SEA Studies to read old religious texts, otherwise, living in Nimmnan, I wouldn’t bother.

If I go to somewhere like Ubon, they’ll speak English at any 1000 baht+ hotel and can likewise hook me up with a driver. If I want to go back to the Mark Weins chicken and cashews place, I’ll bet they have an English menu by now.
 

Otherwise, phone translating will cover 99% of my needs. So yes for reading dead monks, no for chatting up sweet, little Noi.

,People who show zero curiosity about it, seem to not like Thai Culture, based on nothing,

People like me and Proton who get into it find a lot to like. Easily.

And never the Twain shall meet.

Elvis had an early 45 where he sang, I Forgot To Remember To Forget.

But for me, that’s never been a problem.

Only weighing in at all out of esteem for Walker.

Ive checked out. Like I said to my wife’s kid:

” Why can’t you be the kind of retard who’s an inspiration, like being in the special oympics or something, instead of just an evil, stupid retard? People toss the odd candy bar at the sweet kind of retard and pretend the store is closed when the evil kind turns up”.

And thus I conclude my TrumpTrash analysis till after the election.

I quite liked KK and Kuching. Nice beaches and fairly reasonable. Spent about a month there. The headhunter trail was great. Loved the bat cave as there were no mozzies! LOL

Just did the bat cave. Very compelling. Malu Park was nicer than any similar nature reserve I have been to in Thailand. A Tiger beer was $3.50. In Kotakimbalu now, ready for trip up the river for the orangutans. Modern, blah town but glad to go to Dunken Donuts.

I have shaken the hand of Doc Watson in your avatar, and my wife will soon be at Merlefest, the bluegrass-apalooza festival dedicated to his son. Shoot me a message if interested.

…..Of course, say what you will, but if anyone here is projection free, it’s BM2.

He def owns his thing,

On I’m on an intepid tour. Aus. Company, very Lonely Planet Ethic.

its worth the premium to have all that stuff booked and sorted. Famous bat cave today.

Restaurant-wise, Kuching is a deal. Cantonese tasting menu at The Hilton was fifty bucks, with plenty of prawns and duck in the mix.

Who’s crazy projections are funnier, their’s on us or our’s on them?
 

Gotta vote for us. We had access to education.

Brunei is an extension to my jungle tour. They’re richer than Borneo and have a nicer jungle.

How was the Indian food? Supposed to great,

Love this perennial evergreen topic where KhunLa always rules with his photos.

If money is no object, the high end Gaucho steakhouse chain is at Manhattan  quality level. I eat so little red meat that I tend to start at 800 baht for a burger. It’s a big’un.

Kuching, Borneo report: Hilton fake waygu burger was a 500 baht burger for 800 baht. Painfully hot fries tho. Nothing is more disappointing than tepid fries with a burger.

Can’t fault it as an expat place, very Chiang Mai,  old Penang style shophouses strung along a river, prob 20% cheaper. Much greener, the jungle intrudes fast. $9 2 for 1 Guinness pints.

English spoken everywhere, makes the Thais seem a bit stiff in comparison.

Downside is the Muslim ultra-lite factor, but if you can day drink during Ramadan, it’s not oppressive. Will consider Kuching for next season’s Chiang Mai smoke dodge.

Anyone here done a long stay here or in Malaysia in general?

Has anyone seen a “tourist discount coupon book” anywhere in this century?

Correct.

How is processing graphing book pests NOT more work for the prison staff? What’s in it for them?
 

WE think it’s retard hilarious, but to them it’s just baffling. Well, for us too.

A good yarn, well-told (if a little on the florid side). Well done, we need more, not less, of this here.

’Can’t do BG’s due to the not into me-factor.

If I could pay them to be into me, I would. To those who don’t care, I salute you.
