NIGHT ON THE TOWN
My wife was up-country and an old friend was in Pattaya. Ed needed a guide. Two bad influences are better than one, so I enlisted Jamie Parker to assist with the recently divorced stock broker’s first night on the town.
The New Yorker scheduled a 7pm rendezvous at TiggleBitties on Soi 17 off […]
The TV Show MR ED likes to show equine intelligence by having Mr. Ed stamp out numbers with his hoof. Samrter than most of my friends. Me too.
My friend Michele sent this interesting test to reveal part of the trick behind Mr. Ed’s genius.

Men have many expressions for an erect penis; tentpole, wood, are so hard you can hang a bucket of nails off it are a few.

Music sucks in Pattaya. Old farangs sing to HOTEL CALIFORNIA and bar girls dance to boy band love ballads, while Thai bands play dinosaur rock for drunken tourists.

The Beatles seem destined to reign suprme forever. Then Led Zeppelin knocked HEY JUDE from its throne. Eternal gratitude and death […]
Goddesses have been worshipped since time immemorial. My personal devotion to models, movie actresses, and singers slipped into apostasy after having affairs with celestial creatures. Even their breathless beauty was subject to the ravages of bad lighting and a rough night ie the morning after with make-up smeared across their face like a giant bug […]
“No brakes.”
The Baht dropped below 34 to the dollar on the strength of foreign capital influx into the Thai Stock Market capping a 12% decrease for the once-almighty dollar.
My math has the damage at 16%. 41 to 34.
A stronger baht hurts tourism, although a Thai travel rep said, “A stronger baht will make traveling overseas to […]
The USA might not have qualified for the finals of sailing’s most prestigious title, The America Cup, however Joey Chesnut of Potomac Falls, VA vanquished the six-time defending champ Takeru Kobayashi and brought the trophy back to the States.
The two were tied at 60 hot dogs at 11 minutes. The crowd at Nathan’s chants, “USA […]
It was raining on the 4th of July in Pattaya. No crowds lined Beach Road for the celebratory fireworks, the American flag was absent from the bars, and the only parade was the stalled line of cars at the beginning of Walking Street. Homesickness was running in my blood, until Nick called from Soi 6, “C’mon down […]
