Just realised it is six months since I did my last list. I keep meaning to do another one but bone idleness then kicks in. Anyway, your list is fantastic. I can't stop laughing about the ones about western women and Pig Dog. The mystery about Pig Dog is that nobody has ever seen him eat, yet he is obviously getting too many calories from somewhere. Several times I have tossed him bits of half-eaten chicken and he has just looked at them contemptuously and gone back to sleep. Truly a canine legend. cruiserPimp: OK, you’ve got my job.

During that year: * she didn't work * she didn't use drugs * she drank beer or whiskey about 3 or 4 times per week * she only had sex with me (average 1 or 2 pops a day) She still managed to sleep about 12 hours a day without effort. Based on the 12 hours of sleep a day, and the stress of cohabitating in a single room (I work from home so we were spending 24/7 together)I asked her to move out about 3 months ago. She called me two weeks ago to report that she was vomiting (from drinking too much whiskey I think) and saw blood in her vomit. I took her to the hospital, and long story short, her blood test showed her to be aenemic (very low red blood cell count). I don't if I'm trying to make any specific point, except that I doubt yaa-baa is the cause of extended sleep patterns that seem to be genetic in Thais. My work often puts me in contact with middle class working Thais. Ask them, and you'll find that almost all of them sleep 10 to 12 hours per day if they have the opportunity. My guess is that the stultifying heat has caused Thai people for centuries to use sleep as an escape, turning them into human koalas, and that Darwinism can probably explain the lethargic way they do so many things, from walking to sleeping. I notice that I now only walk at about half the speed that I did when I lived overseas. I have a pace that is defined by my personal 'heavy perspiration threshhold'. Especially when I'm in slacks, shirt and tie, my pace on the way to the BTS that is barely above stationay. I lived with a Thai girl for a year. During that year:

Bright and perky at work yet sleeping for 16+ hours indicates a fondness for something stronger than coffee. My record is 20 hours (woke her up so the lovely little delinquent could go to work). 3 days awake followed by 3 days asleep is what I get told. I will grant that 12-14 hours could be normal for an unadulterated bargirl given the comfy bed, aircon, broken sleep from the 5am call from a drunk friend just broken up with her boyfriend, broken sleep from the 8am call from Mum, and the good shagging and feedbag she got earlier.

No one can match Brits when it comes to dry humor, either at writing or at movies (Aussies come close). I try not to let BGs see my very ordinary mobile. They look at it with pity the same way they might look at a 2 inch pecker. For me, the Sizzler salad bar is a quality feed and good value. Eating at empty Thai restaurants can make you feel as though you are feeding on carrion with a flock of vultures circling overhead. I'm impressed at how the crawling beggar can move seamlessly from Silom to Sukhumvit to the On Nut BTS stop, and how he always finds puddles to crawl through, even during the dry season. The locals drop decent dosh for him at On Nut. Don't you love the BGs who announce 'I go dance now' just as they return with the drink you just bought for them? Then, after you promptly pay the bin and are walking out, they lean over and ask you for a 100 baht tip for the 30 seconds they sat with you. Other than meeting friends for drinks, I'm slowly weaning myself off Bkk gogos. ON: Another superb piece!
