Is a thread allowed to show up on the "Popular" column when 8 out of 10 posts are by the person who started the thread?

 

Gamma, there are 900,000 visitors to this forum.

 

YOU keep posting here because its your best chance to get famous. 

 

 

 

Not famous.

 

Would you not say infamous, instead?

 

Also, I would rather be infamous on Reddit, but the guys on Reddit are just too intellectual for me.

 

Why don't you post some info abut amphibians on TV, if you wish to truly interest readers,

 

I, personally, would love to read more about the Poison Dart frog.

 

Why don't you talk more about life in the Amazon Jungle?

I would love to read about the Amazon.

I come to the pub for a beer and a laugh.

Art mimics life.

I go to DIY to offer my engineering expertise.

There's always one sod in the pub who wants all the attention.

Art mimics life.

4.30am the other day, in the pub talking about dicks.

1.30am today, in the pub talking about sperm.

Jesus, I'm off to the pub down the road.

Art mimics life.

Dear FP Members....

 

Have you ever asked yourselves why you post on the Farang Pub?

 

a.  You are a Farang?

 

b. You have too much time on your hands?

 

c.  You have something important to convey to the Farang Community here?

 

d. Lonely?

 

e. You cannot help yourself from posting interesting and eye-catching drivel?

 

f.  Your name is Bob?

 

g. You wish to entertain your fellow Thailand Farang?

 

h.  You were just released from 30-years incarceration in a Japanese prison?

 

There are just so many possibilities...

 

Why do you post so much on the TV Farang Pub?

 

I have no clue why I might post a few comments.

 

But, I think it might be due to the heat and humidity here in Thailand.

 

Some just cannot stand the heat, and so they post on the Farang Pub, in order to distract themselves from the discomfort they feel.

 

Which leads to another question:

 

1.  Do you post more posts when the weather is hot?

2.  Do you post more during the cold season, when the air is crisper, but never cold?

 

Also....

 

3.  Have you ever posted a comment on TV while you were making love to a Thai woman, and did the posting, while in the act, create any bias in your posted comment?

 

==============

 

I am sorry, but, IMHO, I cannot say for sure why I post on TV.

 

All that I know is that I do not know why.

 

Maybe it's like the old woman who swallowed the fly....

 

She never intended to swallow a fly.

And then, one thing led to another.

And then, she died.

 

Regards,

Gamma

 

 

 

Or....

 

 

Maybe this is why.....?

 

 

You are the one with too much time on your hands

If this were a real pub you would have copped a head butt by now.

I'll leave it at that.

It has always been my contention that it should be the guys from the UK who should teach the rest of the world how to write English, including the Americans.

 

Even though I do still believe this, I also believe that The Farang Pub might not be the place for us to learn proper English.

 

Almost nobody sets a good example, here on the FP....

 

BUT, I will say that Philip Roth, an American, attained just about the pinnacle of paragraph writing that the world has ever known.

 

 

 

 

What we need is some old-fashioned Scots dominies to teach English.

 

My English teacher was a direct descendant of Rob Roy McGregor.

 

I still remember his tours through English Literature. John Buchan's Midwinter, and Shakespeare's Twelfth Night.

 

I don't know why I post on the Farang Pub. I think I have masochistic tendencies.

I thought you'd never ask.

 

The dart frog has enough venom to kill 10 average-sized men. Are you average-sized? Or above average?

thats one of your major foibles right there.

 

you need to turn everything into a competition.

I mostly post there to laugh at angsty, cancel culture poseur crybabies huffily complaining that this 100%-free, small potato's pleasure is not a 100% to their liking at all times.

 

And then to hear Patience of Job-MikeLister politely tell them to go and pound sand.

 

And also if I have a borderline joke that's not fit for a family audience, but still needs to be set free in the internet ether.

Is it my imagination, but are there more posters with mental health problems nowadays than previously? 

 

20 years ago NO-ONE on this forum had mental health problems - nowadays you can't read 20 posts without encountering a poster who clearly should either be arrested, sedated or committed to a loony asylum......

No, you are not wrong, society is turning out far too many insecure and troubled people of late.

Suspect only one, posting under different accounts.

BORING!

 

DEPRESSING!

 

Verbal abuse is neither good for the goose or the gander.

 

Concerning the discussion of Economics and Politics....

 

Here is not the place.

 

Instead, you might better head to some other forum where these topics can be discussed on a much higher plane, such as.....

In my opinion, The Farang Pub is no proper venue for debates such as are hosted at either Oxford or Cambridge.

 

 

There are quite a few academics here including me.

 

Good debates etc are now rare to find on this forum

 

I use to enjoy debating about the Psychometrics of water ,natural selection and various other intellectual topics ,but unfortunately the "peasants"  on this forum (,if I may use that word)  have no idea about such thought provoking topics ,

why do you ask such dumb questions all the time.

I am reminded of the story of the snake and the otter at the river.

The snake asked the otter for a ride across the river on the otters back

to which the otter asks " are you crazy. you will bite me and I will die"

the snake replies " no I will never do that because if I do we i will sink and we will both die

Ok agrees the otter. "this makes sense. hop on. " 

in the middle of the river the snake bites the otter , and as they are both drowning the otter asks.

"Why did I do this? now we will both die"

to which the snake replied "its my nature, as much as I tried, I could not go against my nature  "

Perhaps in that story is your answer.

There can be no doubt. GG's life takes place on the internet (social media). That's where he extracts his next days ASEAN NOW thread(s). Ranging from the absurd to outlandish and everything in between. Main thing: Gaining attention and generating "klicks". Giving his threads a touch of "intellectualism" can be helpful.


GG is the Kim Kardashian of ASEAN NOW. Maintaining attention by all means.


Nevermind. GG' s threads have become a "must read". Just awaiting his next thread keeps me on the edge of my seat. Always wondering what absurd theme he has extracted from social media yesterday to be fed to the perfectly innocent readers here.


So exiting! But unfortunately delivering proof, that folks that have moved their earthly life to social media run the risk of eventually end up in a psychiatric institution.


GG should not stop contributing, but rather step outside into the "analoge world" and take his future inspirations for his threads from the "analog world", enriching his threads greatly.

I can see the Asean Now COMMUNITY Pub forum, but not any TV Farang Pub. Please help me find it, thanks.

That does not work on an anonymous forum. He is entertaining himself and doesn't care what a bunch of strangers think.

That's a great point, Swissie.

Maybe it is time for internet life to cast away from the mundane, the temporal, and focus only on the Virtual, on what goes down in the Virtual World, whether that be this forum, or Youtube, or anything else that does not require a relationship with the temporal world of concrete real life.

The Cycling Forum will not be going that way.

Just feeding the maw of the machine.....

 

Who knows what might be next?

 

And, more importantly, who even cares?

 

I post only for the greater good of all....

And for you, too.

Since....

No one else, here, seems to care about doing so.
