Man, I woke up late. And then get gob-smacked with that pun? Ouch.

I get my kicks above the waistline, Sunshine.

But it wasn't a Thai. It wasn't even a tie. It wasn't even close.

Subby reached too far for the pun. =/

Meh, it's still a good pun. +1

Good pun, but no points awarded due to inappropriate use of Newsflash tag.

See an admin fixed that. Never mind.

This headline really sticks in my craw.

The guy who won was Thai. It is you who reachs too far, with your criticism.

anyone else read that as erection rather than election? bangkok, and the stereotypical "r" supplanting a "l" in asian-english, threw me off...

I believe it's called Engrish.

I'll bet you love a good, hard election.

My name is Thai so I'm getting a kick out of these replies..

//really it is

Asura-HiME: I believe it's called Engrish.

Chinglish. though technically I suppose this only refers to chinese-english

whops. there's no 'g' in that... Chinlish (Chinese-English)

Aww, Phuket!

Katie98_KT: Chinglish. though technically I suppose this only refers to chinese-english

The primary definition of Engrish refers to "localized English in East Asia". Chinglish, Wasei-eigo (in Japan) and Konglish are parts of the whole Engrish domain.

Can't be too careful with your company.

They'd let you watch, they would invite you, but the queens they use would not excite you.

Exit poll results show PPP wins

Suan Dusit Rajabhat University Exit Poll, As of 3 pm, 23 December 2007

How many constituency-based MPs and party-list MPs each party get

1. People Power Party, 221 + 35 = 256
2. Democrat Party, 127 + 35 = 162
3. Chart Thai Party, 24 + 5 = 29
4. Ruamjai Thai Chart Pattana, 14 + 1 = 15
5. Peua Paendin, 8 + 2 = 10
6. Pracharaj Party, 3 + 1 = 4
7. Matchima Thipataya Party, 3 + 1 = 4

PPP = the old Government before the Coup. Which means the democrats wont be happy and will now try to pick off the seats one by one by charging people with whatever. People were paid 200-500 baht ($10-18) to vote for whatever party. There really isn't any democracy here, both sides buy votes and when one side gets elected the other tries any means to get people ousted.

It is even rumored that if PPP won that the military government would cancel the election and have another one...

Cliffnotes:

More bullshiat for Thailand...

That's ok. Those people over there got Thaksin. Just rolls off of 'em.

Tie? They should just go for the old fashioned fu*k-off

blackartemis: Exit poll results show PPP wins


Those were just projections, latest results on Bangkok Post are the PPP got 228 seats, the Democrats 166, Chart Thai 39, Puea Pandin 26, and the remaining smaller parties 21. I think. Someone needs 241 seats to form a government, so theoretically the Democrats could form a government if the PPP is unable to secure allies and they all join with the Dems. Which seems unlikely, but possible.

Although if the PPP wins I won't mind too much, as their leader Samak is a lunatic and finally there will be a world leader more embarrassing than George Bush. At least he never responded to a female reporter who asked a tough question with "I have a question for you too, who did you fornicate with last night?"

damn you....[shakes fist] ;-) :-P
*I* was gonna do a Murray Head reference.
Then I saw yours at the begining of the thread.
So i thought i'd leave well enough alone.

Yes you are correct, in my haste I didn't read the full thread on a Thai forum. But it seems PPP is still on top, just not with the majority that I posted :/ Sorry >_

Big deal, last time I went to Bangkok I ended in a Thai, too.
