The THING about the KINKS, guys, is that the quality and staying-power of their music NEVER DIES.... a. Sure, it is true that I might drink a few gallons of Spanish Extra-Virgin, just to make a name for myself on ThaiVisa... b. But, what would that be, compared to the amazing gift of the KINKS to the world at large? I love Spanish olive oil. I love the KINKS, even more. Anytime I need a boost in spirit, I can ALWAYS depend upon the KINKS to buoy me up. While, drinking a gallon of olive oil always just gives me the runs. Spanish olive oil is my favorite. The KINKS are my favorite band, no contest. Thank gods I am still alive to hear them.... Because... Someday, maybe in the not too-distant future... I might not be able to hear them again... Depending upon where I am heading. And we ALL know where I will be heading, soon. I HATE the sound of harps, anyway. Why not tarry a while and use the time to exhibit some humility? You don’t always need to be ‘the smartest person in the room’ and if you really were, wouldn’t it be better to use it to help people, rather than to insist that you are a genius 😊? Use your mind to heal yourself… instead of using it for useless ‘knowledge’. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speaking of the beef farm....(牛肉場 = beef farm) When I was much younger, living on the Isle of Formosa.... We often invited our customers to partake of the delights at the local beef farm (牛肉場)... I can guarantee you that a visit there, to the beef farm, might put a few more hairs on your chest. Thank Goodness!, those days are now behind me.... KOBE beef, though, is still something that I can appreciate.... (Please don't misconstrue: The beef farm is only for those looking for HEIFERS!)

Wish there were more like him in this world... These days.... Well at least you're man enough to admit you can't afford the good stuff, unlike Baby Bird who says that cheap street food tastes better than Kobe beef because it all comes out the same way anyway. I can't afford the good stuff either, that is to say I'm not prepared to eat Mama noodles for a month (two?) to make up for the prohibitive cost of a few bits of meat and a decent bottle of wine. I live in Bangkok so there is no end of Japanese joints flogging the primo stuff for a king's ransom. The closest I get is the "Australian Wagyu" cheeseburger at Roadhouse BBQ in Bangkok. That's the best I can offer you if you're in town and it's probably a crossbreed. They do a nice lunch special, I like the seafood chowder for starters then the cheeseburger. Not cheap but not super expensive and definitely a better culinary experience than 50 baht slop on a plate (not that there's anything wrong with that). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chest hairs in fact hide a body that isn't trained, muscular, and women fall for it because of ignorance. Caine is a good actor, and just that, an actor. His body was never anything to speak of, as is many in Hollywood. They get there for the face, which again, isn\t much different than many others in the world. People look up to and admire people just because they are on TV, not that they look any better than many worldwide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sipi Posted October 23, 2023 Share Posted October 23, 2023 Hey Gamma. Give it a go, why not. But not a spoonful an hour. Maybe every 3 hours for no longer than 2 days. And let me know how it goes. I had you on my ignore list because, quite frankly, you annoy the hell out of me, but I took you off because there is usually an undertone of honesty and integrity in your posts, if you can get past the dribble. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post simon43 Posted October 23, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted October 23, 2023 For heaven's sake, what is up with this forum?!! It seems populated with trolls who post inane questions, over and over again. It completely detracts from the forum offering and reduces it to the level of kid's tik-tok postings. Any decent forum would have banned these posters. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sipi Posted October 23, 2023 Share Posted October 23, 2023 (edited) I have my own special brew of, in equal measure... Olive oil, because apparently it's healthy. Hemp seed oil, because apparently it's a pain killer. Apricot kernel oil, because apparently it stops cancer. And coconut oil, because apparently MCL (whatever the is) is a source of protein. And apparently, some vitamins (vitamin K?) are oil soluble. I have a spoonful in the morning, and another at night. I don't think it's done me any harm. But I wouldn't live on the stuff.

phetphet Posted October 23, 2023 Share Posted October 23, 2023 Chugging only olive oil might make you stick close to the toilet. Very close. However. As part of what is known as a mediterranean diet, it is said to lower cholesterol, and help prevent diabetes. On a lighter note. How often will you go in for an oil change? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ibjoe Posted October 23, 2023 Share Posted October 23, 2023 Human body requires three essential macro-nutrients to survive: carbohydrates, protein, and fat. Totally eliminate any of these and you will not last long. Oil has virtually no carbs or protein. So not a good idea for sole nutrition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
