Preah Vihear

I subscribe to the US Embassy information service; as things happen in Thailand I get email alerts. This one arrived in my inbox a few minutes ago. It is a very matter-of-fact description of events occurring on the Thai-Cambodian border.  I haven’t been putting any info about this dispute on the website as it has escalated, so I thought this alert might be a reasonable way to bring you up to date quickly.

The issues involved in this dispute are fairly complex, and the feelings on both sides are running high.  It’s a tense time that may get worse before it gets better.

Warden Message – Tensions on the Thai-Cambodian Border – July 18, 2008
American citizens resident and traveling in Thailand should be aware of
tensions along the Thai-Cambodian border in the area of the Khao Phra
Wihan temple, also called Preah Vihear. This temple is located on the
border region between Sisaket Province in Thailand and Preah Vihear
Province in Cambodia.

Fake Monks in Sukhumvit

I have been reading the Stickman website again for the last couple of months.

One of the stories that Stick has made an effort to expose has been the the issue of FAKE MONKS begging money on the streets of Bangkok — specifically in the Sukhumvit area. Stickman has discussed this in two or three posts, with this week’s blog containing one of the more complete and entertaining stories below the feature article.

I have seen the fake monks a couple of times. In the past I simply walked past them, ignoring their pleas for a contribution.

Home for the holiday

Yesterday and Today (Thursday and Friday) form a two-day holiday here in Thailand. As usual, it was unclear what would and wouldn’t be open, and where you could get a beer if you wanted one.

I called Smitty, one of the owners of the Big Mango and Duke of Wellington around 4 p.m. on Thursday night.  He said both of his bars were open and serving but he wasn’t sure how long they would remain open. Even the owner wasn’t sure!

As it turned out, I think both of them were open all night. I arrived at the Duke shortly before 5 p.m. and enjoyed a couple of happy hour pints along with a Big Duke burger — delicious as always. I was sitting near Smitty, who was busy on his computer, and spoke to him sporadically.

More Classic Dick (12)

A single mother in Florida by the name of Deven Traboscia is selling her house and herself on eBay for the low, low price of $840,000.

Did I say low price? I meant outrageous price!

In her own words, prospective buyers are paying $340,000 for her two-thousand square foot home, and $500,000 for her unknown square foot vagina — which she’s already used to pop out two kids. Doesn’t sound like a great deal to me.

What I am here to debate is price. In today’s market, the only real estate going for a million dollars a square foot is located in the center of Vatican City. In today’s vagina market, some old broad’s junk going for that same price per cubic foot is just as absurd. The three most important things to keep in mind when buying real estate are location, location, location. The three most important things to keep in mind when it comes to buying vagina are: age, age, age. If she’s over 23, don’t spend a dime. If she’s under 23, take her to TGI Friday’s.

Girls under 23 don’t know the difference between fine cuisine and fried shit.

For every decade a girl ages after 23, her value drops by 100%. That means that at 42, Deven Traboscia has priced herself $500,000 more than her market value.

As a man, your time and your labor are money. You trade them for money from 9 to 5, and when you trade them to impress some dozy bitch, you’re paying for that pussy with something called Opportunity Cost. While you were listening to how much she “wants to be a veteraniarian” or how much she “wishes her stuffed animals could talk to her”, you could have been curing cancer or becoming a rock star. You gave that up to get laid.

And nothing is wrong with any of that! Unless the money being exchanged is $500,000 more than it should be! There’s nothing wrong with prostitution, but there is something wrong with overpaying.

If any of you are thinking of bidding on Deven’s vagina (and house), I have this advice. Wait a few years and hit her fourteen daughter up for some of that “true love”. The apple never falls far from the tree; especially when that apple sees her father two days a week.
