Looks like in Deoria, Uttar Pradesh, India they really know how to celebrate a water throwing festival. Just scoop it straight out of a lovely open sewer and throw it at everyone around. The fun never stops. Why waste perfectly good sewer water when you can recycle it directly onto the crowd? Brilliant environmental thinking right there. Concerned about cholera, giardiasis, cryptosporidiosis, or E. coli? Nah, "no tink too mutt na". Just join the fun. Indians must be absolutely appalled when they see all that clean fresh water being wasted in Thailand during Songkran. Clearly the more efficient solution is already being demonstrated here. Meanwhile I am very happy to say I will be on another continent next month, staying nice and dry while all the water throwing and other mayhem kicks off in the Land of Squirts and Splashes.

He lives naked in a refrigerator in Chiang Mai, surrounded by three of every home appliance known to mankind. He never goes outside because that would mean putting clothes on, which seems like a lot to ask. His silicone consort (he calls it Susan) could probably use a little peace and quiet, maybe even a moment alone, but at this point the chances of that are slim.

Here is the latest link. You can gaze for days: https://drive.google.com/drive/mobile/folders/1Zqe2wx-0RdyvbYoxnXDwqMf_u8oEJoRU

An article I read on another news site explained that a ladyboy had grabbed his wallet and sprinted off in the middle of the skull shine. The Kraut immediately took off after him and apparently did not have time to put any clothes back on. According to the report, the ladyboy had mistaken him for a Brit or an Aussie who would not be able to chase after him. Several tourists on the beach later said they were not particularly shocked when they saw him running around in the buff because they assumed he had simply arrived early for the Full Moon Party.

I would not ban all the Brits and Aussies unless you want all the ladyboys crying that they have no customers left.

You’ll have to ask him/her yourself. I’m sorry I can’t answer on his/her behalf. Not even sure which pronoun he/she prefers these days.

Hey Glamma, maybe start a topic about something unusual for you, like Gemini. I know it is not one of your usual three posts a day subjects like washing machines, CPU cases, refrigerators, or air conditioners, but it could be a pleasant change. Oh wait.

So then you know KhaoSokSusan? What about Tim Curry? Did you ever see the Rocky Horror Picture Show at the 8th Street Playhouse in New York next-door to Electric Lady Land Studio? Maybe all a bit before your time.

Is that really you Gamma or is that KhaoSokSusan? _users_7a0d56d7-d963-4846-8027-f08c51315b2a_generated_284df6f3-5c1a-4e1c-977c-91f71e9ef796_generated_video_hd.mp4

Nice portrait of yourself there GlamourGamma. Why not at least give credit to the photographer for his fine work?

Ages ago, when I worked in the corporate world, people would get frustrated if you sent a document without spell-checking or grammar-checking it first. Even emails were expected to be error-free. But then the world moved on to mobile text messages with all kinds of shorthand abbreviations, and I think people started accepting more mistakes because of that shift toward short-form communication. I agree, though, I’d much rather somebody have their text looked over by an algorithm to improve readability before sending it to me.

For me, I'm into slop. I love when it gets messy. If I'm honest, I don't even mind some of the ones that others would view as absolute filth. P.S. - Posting for a friend.

When a Thai bloke asks if you have a girlfriend, always say yes unless you fancy meeting his fat aunt. If someone praises your Thai, immediately downgrade yourself to noobie level. When asked if you eat spicy, always say no unless you enjoy sweating through your eyeballs. If nature calls, avoid petrol station squat toilets unless you are feeling athletic. If a Thai woman invites you to a party, bringing your girlfriend is never a great strategy. BONUS: Soi dogs are not man's best friend.

My marriage visa extensions often involve new surprises, but I prepare for them every year like it is serious business. This time, while submitting my stack of documents thick enough to stop a tuk-tuk barreling down Doi Inthanon, they casually mentioned there might be a home visit this year while the extension was under consideration. That was enough. I cleaned up my dumpy little house like royalty was coming and put my mia nois, both of them, who also live with us, in a hotel together for weeks. Then I got fresh curtains, matching pillows, and new bathroom floor towels that no one was allowed to step on. I even bought vegetables I have never eaten in my life and arranged them artistically on the kitchen table so it looked like we live on a wholesome vegetarian diet instead of surviving on 7-Eleven toasties and instant noodles. So we waited. And waited. For three and a half weeks we sat in a spotless house, afraid to touch anything in case an IO appeared without warning. I also fluffed cushions daily just to maintain operational readiness. We did not even bump uglies the entire time because I did not want to get caught with my pants down, literally. In the end, nobody ever came, and my marriage visa was extended for the 27th time without a hitch. Good thing too, because those vegetables were no longer looking so lively after the first week.

Much of this issue about the dangers of life in Thailand can be explained by the fact that the Thai male ego is known to be more fragile than a stack of egg crates balanced on the back of a motorcycle weaving through Bangkok traffic at 5 PM on a Friday.

Tell that to my dog. Not sure if he will agree. DAWG.mp4

There will never be such a thing as real UBI. Most countries are already cutting back on things like state pensions and social welfare programs. The global gap between the rich and the poor continues to grow wider. UBI is a hoax that is only hyped up as a method of distraction and obfuscation by AI companies that are trying to raise billions more in capital while also trying to prevent people from thinking that AI is going to become some form of future Skynet.

Thanks for all the ideas and the laughs about this. Even though it is a funny topic, it is still an annoyance. It means I have to clean the toilet more often than I would like, along with dealing with extra flushes and waiting around for the tank to refill so I can flush again when things are failing to go down. I do not think it is a water volume problem or a drainage issue. It seems more related to the toilet's flushing design. As the water drains, it creates an empty hole in the center of the whirlpool. If anything moves into that center area, it just spins there instead of going down with the water. The size does not seem to matter either, since it happens with both large and small pieces, but normally with bigger pieces. I understand that it is normal for a toilet to occasionally not clear everything on the first flush, but with mine it happens almost daily. In the end, I think the bum gun that was suggested by @ColeBOzbourne, @kingstonkid, and others is a good solution. Today I sprayed the center for a couple of seconds while the water was going down, and nothing shifted into that dead zone in the middle. Everything stayed within the main water flow and went down, with nothing left behind. I will keep doing this for a week to see if it works consistently. I just need to remember to lift the seat and start spraying the center a bit when I flush, and hopefully that will take care of it. I am hoping it is a simple fix. I suspect it ultimately comes down to a toilet design flaw by American Standard.

Let’s be honest, I didn't come for the soi dogs, the ladyboys, the illegal gambling dens, the tattoo culture, and to experience life in the money laundering capital of the world.

Yeah, she was digging for gold on that one. Actually, I think she is more of a dabber. Dabberz.mp4

If misreading the meaning helps you feel less alone, then by all means, go ahead and go with that.

I honestly s++t you not.

So they use scorpions when growing weed outdoors in Thailand to protect the plants from insects? Farm.mp4 And granny is still hitting it hard after 50 years. Heart of gold, that gal. God bless her. Table.mp4

Just mop down the sheets with ice water right before getting into bed. Even better.
