  1. Supposedly he is. All the main characters too. Me too. Monday night my wife and I were up in Hollywood at an event when we heard the news. My wife never swears. She turned to me and said "Cocksuckah" in her best Chinese accent, giggling away. Absolutely one of our all time favorites!
  2. Good news for fans of the HBO Series "Deadwood". A movie featuring at least 12 of the original cast members, set ten years later has gone into production! https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/tv/news/deadwood-movie-hbo-ian-mcshane-timothy-olyphant-trailer-release-date-a8619736.html The plot synopsis is currently rather cryptic, with HBO revealing: “The indelible characters of the series are reunited after 10 years to celebrate South Dakota’s statehood. Former rivalries are reignited, alliances are tested and old wounds are reopened, as all are left to navigate the inevitable changes that modernity and time have wrought.”
  3. Better Call Saul is not quite as wild and outrageous as BB. More nuanced.. Well written, superb production values. Cinematography, editing on par with BB. Watching the character development of Saul and others who appear in BB is special. We are halfway through the current season and really enjoy it!
  4. I assume you are talking about the LAX/BKK Thai flights? I flew that route quite a bit myself. Awesome! What a difference it made, nonstop versus connecting. I too remember a couple of flights back well under 14 hours.
  5. Amazing video EP. Nice find. Just so you know I am stealing it and posting it in the political section.
  6. Wow, fifty years! I remember the excitement this beautiful lady caused her first few years. Nice find on the article Butch.
  7. Good one !!!
  8. WASHINGTON, D.C.—In an emergency, overnight referendum, the American people voted on Thursday to replace the United States Senate with a room full of monkeys throwing feces. The measure passed with 57% of the vote. 22% of voters thought the Senate should be replaced by barking seals, while 17% voted that the replacement should be the pit of venomous snakes from Indiana Jones. 3.97% voted that Senate members be replaced by screaming goats. "About 100 people" voted for the current Senators to keep their jobs, with this tiny voting bloc centered in Washington, D.C. Highland Ape Rescue out of West Virginia will be teaming up with Cornwell Primate farms to supply hundreds of monkeys and apes to the Senate. The animals will be fed a nutritious mixture of foods that produce easily throwable feces. Protective glass will be put up around the Senate for camera crews to safely film, but anyone being interviewed by the new senators will have to sit in the middle of the poo-flinging octagon, coming under a heavy barrage of projectile excrement. “It will be a huge improvement from how things were before,” said ape trainer, Marlena Henwick. “No more 10-12 hour hearings. With these monkeys, all the fecal projectiles will have been flung in under 30 minutes. One and done.” The recently replaced senators will be placed on display at the National Zoo in Washington, D.C. for families to park attendees to observe and zoologists to study.
  9. I like the Soi13 area. I stayed at the Avani a few times when it was the Marriott. Comfortable, as someone mentioned you are almost in a cocoon. If you are taking a babe it makes sense. I usually stay at the Whitehouse Condotel. Can cross 2nd, have the Avenue Mall, another block or two the Soi Buakhao. Or walk along Beach Rd to Walking St. 10 min walk, 15 stroll. Hilton is a much longer walk. Probably twice the time. Sometimes there is very bad traffic on Beach Rd. You can walk faster than the baht buses. Have never stayed at the Hilton. Looks very nice. Has some very nice restaurants between it and the attached mall. Soi 7 beer bars close, closer to Soi 6, etc. My preferences for Walking Street makes Soi 13 my preference.
  10. I have met several UK physicians over the years who "moonlight" on the weekends, etc in Germany where the "pay is so much better". Re heart surgeon: In S Cal I used to have a neighbor who comes from a family of heart surgeons (his father is a partner in a major practice). Roughly 10 years ago he told me that the average remuneration was getting close to $1 million. I would assume it is past that at this point.
  11. Well done report TallGuy. It is interesting to see the progression of the project. Look forward to seeing the completed project on my next trip.
  12. Yes it is true. Part of the reason is insurance companies pride themselves on lowering costs. The usually will only pay a minor percentage of stated costs. So the doctors and hospitals mark things up much over what they actually expect to receive. It lets the insurance companies look good....
  13. .
  14. Here's a quote I saw on Twitter today: "I returned a pair of Nike shoes today, to the store from where I bought them. I asked for my money back. The clerk, politely asked, 'What is wrong with them?' I said, 'They hurt my feet when I stand for the National Anthem'." Priceless!
  15. I saw this several days ago on someone's shirt and it has stayed with me for several days.
  16. A weak dollar is good if you are an American business trying to sell product abroad. So most tourists (including mongers) benefit by have a job.
  17. http://www.pattayatalk.com/forums/topic/68459-how-to-make-a-donation-for-the-boards-server-fund/ I know many of you have been saying to yourself for a long time, "Self, I really should make a small donation to show support for PattayaTalk..." Come on guys, the cost of a drink or two would help....and benefit your liver!
  18. 30 mins without PT??? Jeez, I might have to get a life! Then again it will give me time to look for more boating pics....
  19. Butch, I am looking for my violin. As soon as I find it a few sympathetic notes coming your way!
  20. The cannibal's grandma...
  21. A2, I stole your punctuate and added it too my coffee mug I have posted elsewhere. Just received below: My kids gave me a coffee mug that says “Let’s eat Grandma” - for Mothers Day. Punctuation is important.
  22. Remember that movie 30 plus years ago, Coma?
