Guided by the Antichrist. Vote baboon or risk the end of days...

 

Vote for him, fine. 

 

But if he offers you some Kool-Aid, or a ride on the spaceship behind the next comet...

Craig and his side kick, Carl Rove, have withdrawn to wander in the wilderness.  A feeling of nostalgia over took me, and so I switched on Wish You Were Here by Pink Floyd.  The strangest thing happened next.  My mouse cursor began to move, on its own, like a Ouija board, and came to rest hovering over Transam's vote bubble.

 

Weeeeell, JT has his way of achieving things with boots, I do it with thought...

 

And..........of course....

Are you sure you weren't listening to One Of My Turns when Trans' vote bubble appeared?

Oh man.  You may have just jinxed it...  Go knock on some wood.

Done.

A lot of the voters who lost their vote are voting.    Be prepared for some surprises.

Yep, either JT has jumped in front of a baht bus or Trans has to try again next year....

I am still undecided, could the contenders answer the following questions to help me decide.

 

1) Should I buy or rent ?

2) How much sinsod is enough

3) Can I trust my Thai BG GF ? (she is different to the others)

4) Do Thai people hate me ?

5) Should I always spend more than I can afford to loose?

Although not a candidate, here's my tuppence worth ...

1) Buy first, rent later.

2) The MIL will tell you.

3) Only as far as you can throw a piano.

4) You wouldn't be alive if they did.

5) If you want to stay poor and in debt, yes.

JT was last seen in the back of the bahtbus cage, shaking the sides like an angry gorilla.

 

bahtbus driver got out with a lump of wood to subdue him but took one look and runaway scared.

I had to take a quick trip to the U.S. so am just now getting caught up with this year's POTY fiasco.  It looks like all of Chiang Mai is boycotting the contest.  No wonder.  Dave2 got thrown a bone in receiving an "honorary" POTY and Chiang Mai's living contender, EvenStevens was thrown under the bus when it was decided that Dave2 voters in the semi-final Poll 2 wouldn't be able to recast their votes the way that the voters for Craig are able to in this final round.

 

In looking at the final results of Poll 2, it seems that three candidates each received six votes, yet only one of them, JAG is in this final round.  What's the deal?  What about Evenstevens and Darksidedog?  They received as many votes in Poll 2 as JAG.

 

Yeah, I know This is Thailand and Chiang Mai always gets the short shift from Bangkok (still punishing us for being the home of the Shin clan), but come on, folks.  What gives?

Apart from being the centre of Nancy's universe, Mr. Bitey plays a mean hand of bridge and can drink with the best of them.

As usual and in keeping with the tradition of previous years, we've reached that stage in the proceedings where things are sufficiently ballsed up that calls for a complete rerun are being overheard in the corridors, lest the competition turns into a total farce. I second that.

And in keeping with the tradition of previous years when we've reached that stage in the proceedings where things are sufficiently ballsed up that calls for a complete rerun are being overheard in the corridors, lest the competition turns into a total farce.... there is no bloody rerun.

 

Get over yourself.

 

Do something useful and send a PM to Jingthing and tell him his paltry 1 vote has been reinstated. If only to prevent his hyperventilating and histrionics, we don't need him coming back only to noisily and repeatedly claim he wasn't told.

Yeah... we already sussed out there a huge wave of voter apathy in Chiang Mai. So, what's new?

 

Darksidedog's still in the fight BTW. Posted a very reasoned and eloquent rejoinder yesterday which against all odds, shut JSixpack up.

 

More importantly, can you call Jingthing on the red telephone and let him know he can come out to play again?

 

Thanks,

NL

 

PS. Even the Shins didn't place all their eggs in the Chiang Mai basket.
