Rain-Monkey: Dammit all so much - I just booked 3 weeks in Thailand starting the 24th

Don't forget to pack a wife!

That's OK, I don't like Jell-O.

It's tough kid, but it's life.

I'm an airforce wife,
so I'm getting a kick

"The fighting between our Cambodian troops and Thai troops over the beehive area near the Preah Vihear temple has begun again at 6:15 a.m. this morning and lasted for more than an hour"

The battle came to an abrupt halt as both sides waited for the hornet to calm down.

The first time I saw the DKs was at the Republican Convention protests in 1884. Jello was in a leg cast for something and had more energy than any three lead singers combined.

A great show with Reagan Youth and a bunch of other bands and even a naked hippy dude in the mosh pit.

My bro Jimbo got so wasted! Are you a farker Jim?

Don't bother bringing any Right Guard. It won't help you there

Is this where I say that I personally know Jello Biafra and some troll says I'm lying to make myself look good?

Calling BS on that.

Yes, definitely bring your own wife.

Indeed. (^)

... but I do like Jello. Just clarifying.

If you were planning on taking a holiday in Cambodia anytime soon you might want to reconsider bring your wife.

"Pretty old" at 46. That's f*cking hilarious.

Get off my damn lawn, kid. Or step inside and make yourself useful.

By the way, reread what you wrote (bolded for your convenience).

Always wanted to go to Angkor, kicking myself that I never hopped over when I was in Thailand...

I actually have a worker and her husband going to Cambodia for the first time since they left nearly 30 years ago. They were going to spend a month there beginning in February. Now...maybe not.

There are scarier things for Cambodian tourists than an ongoing border skirmish.

Like walking under this...

That's like not visiting Manhattan because some guy was shot in New Jersey.

But I still love a good mosh pit.

Who the hell would "take a holiday" in Cambodia, anyway?

No thanks, thanks

I see that ADHD Librarian has taken care of the Kim Wilde reference so there's nothing else for me to do.

Because nothing says 'we're the rightful owners of a Buddhist temple' like a gentle exchange of mortar fire.

Seriously, the entire border dispute is over who gets to control access to an antique temple. Primarily because both parties want a chunk of the tourism revenue that they think will result from settling the border issue and opening the temple up to the public, Angkor Wat-style.

Thai politicians have been using the issue for the last several years to whip up patriotic fervor in order to get the 'yellow shirt' protesters to continue sticking it to anyone who was ever affiliated with Thaksin and his successor lackies.

There are Thai people today who think that Thaksin made a deal to give away "their" temple out of sheer spite, or as part of a voodoo plot to somehow harm the king.

Bring your own kids, bring your own husband?

I mean.... if you know of a better place to take my child sex habit, I'd like to hear about it!!

People who would like to visit the most impressive archaeological site on earth might be interested

shaymlss: Who the hell would "take a holiday" in Cambodia, anyway?

No thanks, thanks

People who are interested in history, culture, architecture, food, jungles, religion and experiencing something staggering different to the things they experience everyday in life?

But why bother when you can just sit in front of the TV, eh?

/have I been trolled?

Guess this means a lobster dinner is out...

/hot, but this was the largest pic I could find

I was going to swim to Cambodia but, instead, I took a dive off the Staten Island ferry

On another note, California Über Alles got re-relevant, with the reelection of J. Brown.

Not necessarily, but he may have to pay more than a dollar.

I've been to school for a year or two

I sort of half expected to hear that song more because of that, I guess there is no longer any real chance of brown becoming president, though, so he's less scary.

Went to Cambodia last year. Angkor Wat is staggeringly awesome, but within a ten-minute drive there are plenty of other smaller temples (smaller by Angkor standards, but still huge) which are also impressive. Ta Prohm is amazing with all the giant tree roots that have grown over the buildings.



I also ate the egg with the baby duck inside. I knew what it was but all the Cambodians in the place figured I thought I had just ordered a hard boiled egg and was in for a big surprise. They all stopped what they were doing and came over to watch the crazy white guy's reaction when he suddenly regretted what he ordered.

/it was actually pretty good. Had more the next night.

What no complaints about the Editor Xiong Tong and "One more Thai soldiers were captured in Saturday morning' s clash, bringing the arrested Thais to five."

Or "The attack caused many seriously damages to the temple of Preah Vihear, a world heritage, as well as death and injury of more than ten Cambodian troops and villagers,"

Shame on you grammar nazis letting those slip by without comment!!

Pay more than a dollar.

I think they should call in the Cambodian Midget Fighting League to settle the squabble.

Wish I was: I think they should call in the Cambodian Midget Fighting League to settle the squabble.

Yeah, but then all Thai army will have to do is bring in a lion and they'll wipe out those midgets in no time.

I'd bet this has more to do with drugs/warlords than an actual border dispute. I wouldn't cancel a trip over it.

That part of the world is pretty violent to begin with. I'd rather not get shot in the latest round of rebel warlord smackdown.

Yings... I'll try most things but there's no way I'm touching that!

I think that stir-fried blood pudding bought from a woman at the side of the road somewhere in Yunnan province (China) is about as weird as I'll go. And sweet and sour frog.

Oh, and raw prawns in Bangkok were delicious, but then there was the inevitable 8 hours of wondering whether I was going to start crying fizzy water out of every orifice.

Oh, and chicha beer in Peru, made by the locals chewing some seeds and then spitting their saliva into a pot and letting it ferment.
