@patrickworld Well done! Are you scarred? I'm from the Pacific NW and such activities always left remeberances on me for to heal.

Well done, at any rate, gotta push back.

You must fight the yen
To tickle that wren
And never pinch a finch
Don’t be in a rush
To fondle that thrush
It only makes them flinch
Hugging an owl
Will cause it to scowl
It makes them feel absurd
So just have some grace
And give them their space

He’s walked under a ladder
Told his wife to calm down
Saw a face in the sewer
And talked to the clown
He once finished a meal
And swam right away
He once met Chuck Norris
And pointed out the toupee
He’s taken expired Advil
And torn tags from a bed
He’s

He's no fan of music
Not even the bluesiest
He cares not for museums
He thinks they're the snooziest
He can't make smalltalk
He's just not the shmooziest
He’s awful with women
Even the flooziest
He loves only one thing
And of that he's the choosiest
He's

@Holberg I remeber browsing the museum sipping a something whilst waiting for the show. A banger of a show. Their actual last performance at the Museum, where they started some years before.

I just remembered that last part as I was tooting. Harshed my own vibe.

Back to thoughts of Gotham

@SecularJeffrey @GayDeceiver That Gremlin looks overweight

@Holberg Trump Tower, right across the street from "Puppetry of the Penis." A heartwarming venue. I saw a show there some many years ago 😀 Trump Tower looked kind of Gotham City at that point.

#ProTip: Always spell out acronyms at least once. Save your audience from guessing wrong or simply feeling left out from the conversation. Almost all 3 or 4 letter acronyms have more than one meaning. Spell them out. Costs you nothing, helps others a lot. #GoodNight

@neil @TheEddieShow Bangkok, Thailand

Day 6: I packed up and travelled from Seoul to Incheon, on the island near the airport. A young friend from Hello Talk came and met me at the guesthouse, assisting me with contacting the owner and adding outgoing calls to my Korean SIM. We walked around the area for a couple of hours, visiting a traditional supermarket, wandering past many single family houses with giant vegetable gardens, walked through an urban park, and found a lookout to the sea. We had mandu hot pot, which was very good.

In Bangkok right now so trying to brush up on my rusty rusty never not rusty Thai. (3/3)

Only one syllable. The first character is a vowel giving the second character, which sounds like an “L” the “long a” sound. The last character shows an ending sound kind of like ‘y’. The strike over the ‘y’ sounding character denotes the tone of the syllable which here denotes a falling tone. Maybe like the word in spoken english ‘ouch!’

So not really Lays…more like Lay!
Thai doesn’t let words end in an ’s’ sound… (2/3)

@cathos @RickiTarr Gotta follow up. The Lays chips aren’t really a mix of Thai and western characters. It’s all (stylized) Thai. It says:

เลย่… (1/3)

@cathos @RickiTarr Here's some Thai snacks right here! Broad beans coated with Seafood Curry or Shrimp flavor (ALWAYS with chili!), and of course, the Lays Chips (with a mix of western and Thai script)

@joannaholman Sure but usinng Uber didn't make you forget how to heil a taxi or ride a bus or train. I don't know how they unlearn their new 'skills', Unlearning seems rather to be the point.

@Swede1952 Encourage boldness, indeed. Fond memories of unfurling the map on the hood of the car and planning the day's route, marking it with a highliting pen. I still have those old maps and can retrace my (22 y/o) vacation 45 years later. My old tatterred map of Oregon is a treasure of personal information.

And on a vacation road trip the relevant maps are in the seat pocket. (2/2)
