Dancing Shrimp and Madd Gastronomy, a Spicy Mistake in a Plastic Cup
So I’m out for a wander near Soi Buakhao yesterday afternoon, yeah. Just killin’ time before me happy ending massage, sweatin’ my bullocks off in the shade, when I clock this little roadside stall I ain’t seen before. Got a few plastic chairs, somtam flyin’ off the pestle, a small fish tank bubbling like madd, and one of them tiny wireless speakers blarin’ out luk thung like the DJ’s underwater. Proper local vibe. Anyway, I’m parched and peckish, so I figure I’ll grab somethin’ quick. This older bird behind the stall flashes me a cheeky grin and asks if I want “goong ten.” Now I’ve heard that phrase before, but it ain’t clicked yet. “Dancing shrimp,” she says, smilin’ like she’s about to prank me on Thai telly. I nod like a mug and go, “Yeah, alright love, gimme one of them.” Big mistake. She starts scoopin’ these tiny glassy shrimp, and I kid you not mates, they’re still bloody alive. Chuckin’ ’em in a plastic cup, tossin’ in lime juice, chili, fish sauce, shallots, the works. She’s mixin’ it all up while the shrimp are flippin’ around like they’ve just been tasered. The cup’s bouncin’ in her hand like a bingo machine. I’m just stood there thinkin’, “Surely this is the prep stage. She’s gonna cook it… right?” Nah. Wrong. She plops the whole thing in front of me with a spoon and goes, “Aroi mak, na ka!” Big smile. Me heart sinks. I sit there, tryin’ to act like I’ve done this before, but these little sods are still twitchin’ about, one tries to crawl out like he’s seen the light. I scoop up a bite and, no lie mates, it’s like munchin’ on foil wrap with a solid kick, literally. Lime, chili, crunch, panic. Mouth’s on fire, tongue confused, and I swear one of ’em winked at me on the way down. Thai bloke at the next table’s lovin’ it, cacklin’ away, handin’ me a tissue like I’ve just run a marathon. I’m tryin’ to keep me composure but my lips are numb and I’ve got shrimp legs stuck in between me teeth. Felt like I just lost a food dare on the Jackass show. Can only imagine what me next trip to the bog will be like. Managed to finish half the cup before I gave up and passed the rest back. The stall lady gave me a thumbs up like I’d won something. All I’d won was mild gob trauma and a sudden distrust of anything served in a see-through cup. Walked off burpin’ coriander and regret, swearin’ I’d never eat anything again that’s still blinkin’. Patts, innit. One minute you’re just after a snack, next thing you’re mouth-deep in a shrimp rave. Alas, just another normal Tuesday in paradise, lads. https://www.instagram.com/reel/DL27xS-PCLy -

Foreigners Flaunting Wealth in Thailand: How Is It Viewed?
Not the happy ending type, and the others, 2X, relaxing, but that's about it. Wouldn't call either therapeutic. -

Tea bags warning over micro plastics
The wife is always telling me that: TikTok. It's sure a mess and a PITA. I've switched to loose tea. Can pick your own strength, too. -

Crime Swedish Man & Thai Woman Arrested for Cocaine Possession & Distribution in Phuket
Before weed was legalized in many states, many people got long sentences just for possession. Weed legalization has been growing and some countries will take a long time as they are controlled by dictators and communism.I already knew where it was and wasn't legal, as I approve of the drug even though I don't use it but occasionally. The more weed is shown to be helpful, especially to people with pain, the more it will be legalized. Most drugs come from legal substances but some are changed chemically. Again, alcohol is legal and kills many daily, and weed isn't killing anyone but helping many. I'm only talking about weed here and not other harder drugs. About the sentences, some people kill a human and get 5 years, and some are caught with personal drugs and get decades. That's where unstable, corrupt or plain ignorant court systems fail. -

Cool I didn't know you could ask AI questions like that. That's what I was looking for and correct answer. I couldn't find the words myself.
