Doing a 'weng'

By The Nation

BANGKOK: -- You can bore your way to stardom. Just ask Weng Tojirakarn.

Two days of peace talks between the red shirts and the government have changed the eccentric doctor-turned-political-activist into an overnight celebrity, with teenagers now using his name as a slang and an online mockery game invented with his screaming face on it.

"Weng" now means "to confuse," "to bore" or even "to b***s***". If you hear a youngster say "Don't 'weng' me", it means, to put it politely, "stop talking nonsense".

The online game, tweeted and played in a frenzy yesterday, allowed players to poke his cartoon character in the rear and see how far it sent him flying in pain.

Weng was a star negotiator as far as the red-shirt protesters were concerned, but to others he was boring and selective in using democratic principles against Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva.

During one of his remarkable showdowns with Abhisit, Weng said the red negotiators "didn't come here, just the three of us. We are accompanied by 20 million people".

To which Abhisit replied: "I don't want to talk about numbers over here. But if they are so important, should we carry out a referendum on whether I should dissolve the House?"

Weng didn't answer.

Most academics propose any future talks should be off limits to the press as the negotiators play up to the cameras, ie Weng with his photos of soldiers supposedly attacking reds, and Jatuporn with his list of accusations of Aphisit as if it was a censure debate.

Behind closed doors, but with neutral figures as witnesses seems the best way forward, most concur.

I wish Garry Trudeau of "Doonesbury" fame took an interest in Thai politics.

Or Bloom County's Berk Brethed!

So this Dr. is a total Wengnut?

On a Weng and a prayer?

Weng the cows come home?

Whip out my Weng and scare the ladies?

Weng the parties over?

Weng I'm feeling lonely, Weng I'm feeling blue?

Weng you've lost it all?

Weng you've got nothing to lose?

Weng will my dreams come true?

Weng will I be loved?

Wengter of our discontent?

Oh Weng The Saints Come Marching In?

Weng the prolitariat rise up?

Weng will the Viagra start working?

Everybody Weng Chung?

My wife is just sure the "weng" thing will go "inter". She and her friends are already cracking themselves up over it. I made the comment that I have a certain sympathy for Weng. Her response: "you can see he took the money now, som nom naa".

Maybe Politicians and wannabe Politicans should listen to Bob Dyland: -

The Thais they are a changin
