KOJO

Well, here's my latest masterpiece. I figured every artist has done a self portrait in their lifetime, so I thought I'd do mine while I'm still a handsome man, according to the wifey, so in 10 years, she can look at it and ask What the Fuck Happened !!?? Some notes.. the monkey ridin #2 is screaming at his elephant," WHY WE STOP, WHY WE STOP?" then he stands up and see's he's takin a dump.(Gambler's tip: Always bet on the horse, or in this case elephant, who takes a dump in the paddock area, or on the track before he reaches the starting gate. He'll be 8-10 lbs. lighter and faster !) HA! HA! Since Heineken is my sponsor, they got 3 advertising banner's on the fence, I like Puma gear so they got one, I did give Pattaya Talk a banner, since they allow me to post my artwork here, Bliss Lounge has always had a soft spot in my heart, and a hard spot in my lap, for obvious reason's, and I generally listen to Pink Floyd or the Beatles while I draw. Monkey #5 is missing his 2 front teeth and monkey #1 has a black eye, they got in a fight at The Banana Bar last nite !! HA! I had a dozen of those t-shirts made way back, when I first moved here, and wanted to have "something Thailand" in the drawing, to show where it was done. Yes, I do own a yellow pr. of Croc's, my wife bought them for me, Don't Say Anything !! The weathered wooden deck was a pain. I could of actually built a deck in less time than it took to draw one ! HA! It started out as a simple deck, but as the picture evolved, each board turned into a mini piece of art in it's self, but I'm happy with the finished product, HOPE YOU GUY'S LIKE IT!! HA! HA! HA!

Well, that's a DAMN shame ! Remind's me of the ol' days hanging out on Beach Rd. the sidewalk vendor's would call each other from say, Soi 7, down to Walking St., letting everyone know the cop's were walking down the street, bustin them, so everyone would cover up all they're illegal shit with blanket's and close down for an hour or so, till they went by !! HA! HA! HA!

I saw an app on Facebook, Pattaya Police Checkpoints, showing where the cops were, "live", doing they're checkpoints, but couldn't find one anywhere else. Has anyone seen or used Facebook's or any other similar app ? I'm not a Facebook member, and don't want to join. THX !

It was Gary Monley, sadly, he passed away, was from Australia some where, I have forgotten where. Over the past 2 years, we have lost 5 of the gentlemen in the drawing, but we had a lot of good time's together after the round's of golf.

I was looking in one of my drawing files for some stuff and saw this dwg., I didn't remember if I posted this or not, looked in the Pictorial section but didn't see it. Anyway, did this a couple of years ago, of the guy's I used to golf with before I had to quit, bad knee's, it's drawn from the Beatles Sgt. Pepper's album cover concept. HA! HA! HA!

Couple weeks ago there was a news article on a Thai channel, and the policeman claimed Pattaya would have 367,000 CCTV camera's up and running by 2019 !!! They can't even keep the one's they have running, but 367K ? Hell that would be camera's on everything that doesn't move, and might include something's that do move !! HA! HA! HA!

The only real "water" in the sauce comes from the juice's of the tomato's, everything else has a thicker viscosity. The meat absorbs some of the water, in the lasagna, and the spaghetti, the noodles absorb ALL the excess moisture, to cook in. I'm like you, I hate runny sauce, I think you should be able to eat the sauce with a fork. HA! HA! HA!

WTF ? What is going on with the shrimp price's over the last 4 weeks in Pattaya ?? Normally a 20-25 count fresh shrimp is/was 350-400 kilo, now, nothing under 650-800 baht per kilo ! Tiger prawn were 800-900 kilo, now 1600-1800 kilo !! I have to send the wife up to Nakula to get shrimp these days. Is there a shortage I don't know about, or just more taxes, or is it just more supply n demand by the Thai's gouging system ?? At this rate, I MIGHT have to start my own shrimp farm. HA! HA! HA!

I love pork belly, even if it is ALL fat !!! Fat is flavor !! Although sometime's I have a guilty feeling, as I am stuffing it down , knowing the cholesterol is going straight to the heart and the waist line. The last time I had this feeling was when I made a BLT sandwich, I put 8 slice's of bacon on it, and felt bad, EVERY BITE !! HA! HA! HA!

THX! I'll move ! HA! HA! HA!

Anyone here using Nord vpn ? Are you having any connection issue's or drop service recently ? I'm losing my signal a few time's a day with 3BBB, my router says I'm connected, but have to turn off laptop and reload, then it works again. Any help would be appreciated. THANKX!

Sorry, the dinner bell has already rung ! HA! HA! HA! Maybe next time.

Purist and heretic's will tell you it's an abomination, BUT, it add's another small level of flavor, like another spice, but " to eat his own " as they say.

This is my beer frig, it's for personal consumption only, (yea, I have a drinking problem, but I'm not an alcoholic, THEY go to meeting's !") HA! HA! HA! I have 2 more just for food, one for Western food, and the 2nd for Thai food for the wife. I just have beer delivered once a month from my beer distributor, so I don't have to go buy it, every week to stock up, just lazy, the lasagna was cut into individual size portion's and put in baggie's and frozen, for later meals, it can last up to 3 month's in the freezer for my wife and I. It takes appox 3 hrs. to make a batch, weather it's a small batch or a big batch, so I just save some time doing it all at once.

I agree, when I use to drink wines, a nice red was great with pasta, any pasta !

Normally, it has a layer or 2 of ricotta cheese in it, but we can't get it here, and I didn't want to take another hr. and make my own ricotta, but it still taste pretty damn good.

I use my spaghetti sauce recipe for my lasagna too. Add the pork to a skillet on med. heat, salt n pepper, add the garlic, onion and oregano, cook until it's browned, about 10 mins., drain the cans of mushroom and dice the whole tomato's into small piece's, add all the ingredient's to the pan, turn the heat down to med-low, let it simmer. I usually let mine simmer for appox. an hr., the longer it simmer's, the more flavor it has as all the ingredient's mingle together. Sample as you go and add more ?? salt, pepper, garlic salt, whatever you like. After the sauce is done pre heat the oven to 375. Add a layer of sauce in the bottom of a 9" x 13" pan, and put in a layer of UNCOOKED noodles Add another layer of sauce Add a layer of Parmesan cheese, I use block and grate it fresh, but you can use the pre ground stuff in the plastic bottles. Add a layer of mozzarella cheese Add a layer of pepperoni Add another layer of noodles Add another layer of sauce Add another layer of Parmesan cheese Add another layer of mozzarella cheese Add a layer of mushrooms Add another layer of noodles Add another layer of sauce Add another layer of Parmesan cheese Add another layer of pepperoni Add another layer of mozzarella cheese Add another layer of noodles Add the rest of your sauce and another layer of pepperoni Add last layer of mozzarella cheese, we used appox. 3 lbs. total for this batch, "we like cheesy lasagna" Bake at 375, for appox. an hr., or until a butter knife stuck in, several places, and it's soft, to make sure all the noodles are done Then dig in and have a beer or 3 !! HA! HA! HA!

I'm sure the title had several of the BM's thinking of who they, think are idiot's posting on the board, and what I had to say about one of them, sorry, although I'm sure everyone know's someone, in "Human Form", who fit's this description ! I just thought it was a funny picture ! HA! HA! HA!

Finally a mannequin that show's what we REALLY look like in the shirts on sale ! HA! HA! HA!

Look's like some impersonator's spent more time at the "Buffet" stage, than on the "Singing" stage last week ! HA! HA! HA!

HA! HA! HA!

I'm running Chrome and haven't had any problem's, but I do have problems every time Windows 10 wants to update, they change all kinds of shit, and it can't be returned to normal, unless you delete the latest version, and re load an earlier version of Windows 10, reminds me of the days playing W.O.W., and every Monday, they would upload updates and patches for the game, and it took 2 days for everything to get worked out by the players ! Microsoft Sux !! Anyone know how to turn off the "automatic photo's app " so it quits automatically making folders of all the pictures I download every week.. I want to make my own, but have over 1200 folders that Microsoft has created, " For My Viewing Pleasure !!" I'm sure they are being stored on a "Cloud", somewhere ! AND we all know clouds are hack able, I would prefer not to share my personal pictures with the world, and YES, some of them are racy ! HA! HA! HA! Thankx in Advance for any imput.

Thank You, Thank You very much...Elvis has left the building ! HA! HA! HA!

Which corner ?

Just finished a drawing of a friend, we call "THE QUEEN"
