In defence of Thai Women (by BigBabyKenny)

I read this article upon The FARANG speaks 2 much (you can search for the site). It’s by a contributor named BigBabyKenny. I liked his article. My comments at end.

As a professional poker player, seeing the world through another person’s eyes comes easily. In poker, the good players hold over the poor players, excellent players hold over merely good players, and world class players hold over excellent players with the ability to put oneself inside the other player’s head, understand what he is thinking, why he is doing what he is doing, and what he is trying to achieve. Players who do this, can select and implement proper counter strategies and take the money over time.

For me, seeing the world from another person’s point of view also pays away from the poker table. I find the world, specifically my time in Thailand, much richer, interesting, and entertaining when seen not only from my own but from other’s point of view.

Sneaking into the Indianapolis Speedway

10-05-08 : My good friend L took a group of us to the Saturday qualifying for the 2008 Indy 500.

We travelled south from Elkhart in a Ford F-250 with a fibreglass truck top with darkened windows. L and his eldest son were on front seat. L’s eldest daughter, her boyfriend, and yours truly were in back, i.e. the truck bed. We had a 2 person loveseat couch for the other two, and a rear facing seat removed from a Chevrolet S15 for me.

Upon arrival at the speedway, the three of us in back hid under an assortment of blankets and pillows. This actually wasn’t my idea, but I cheerfully went along with it. The net result was that only the two in the front had tp pay the $10 entrance fee.

Ice Maiden has recovered

03-05-08 : The Ice Maiden is feeling OK and very strong again. That’s all.

Car of the month : 1971 Chrysler New Yorker

01-05-08 : It’s the first of the month again, and time for another car of the month. I have not received any requests to publish, so it’s from my own collection again.

This beauty has 57,191 original miles, and is probably my favourite car. I love her.

Rules of Beauty

Female beauty, of course, is in the Eye of the Beholder, but in this post I will venture some rules, or truths.

When a guy looks at a girl, he places her into one of five categories :

4 - Beautiful
3 - Attractive
2 - Plain
1 - Unattractive
0 - Ugly
