I'm getting a touch of the PB's from this one...

Hey folks... been pretty sick the last few days so that's why I've not been around.

I spoke to the owner and this is what the plan could potentially be.

Saturday the 19th would have to be the night as Friday is already fully booked. Basically the situation would be that we would have upstairs as a private area. Singha, Heiney, beer lao and a choice of 3 different Margaritas would be all you can drink. (No coupons or rules like you have to finish one before getting another. As he put it, you can have a beer in each hand and be drinking a margarita through a straw. )

Waitresses would walk around with large plates of different assorted food then place them on the tables. Each plate would be cleared and replaced with new ones continually.

This will go on for 3hours (thinking 7-10?)

I'm not making a dime off this and I suggested it because It's a place I go to. The food is good, the drinks are good and the service and organization will be 1000% better than the farce that was OMC.

So what do you think?

$$$?

That's great.

A great job done by Bankphil, LDMA, and others including the posters.

Great memories from Ajarn forum.

I believe the first time I was on it was when AJ was in a "thread link like" setting, like many other forums.

I think it was 2001, perhaps earlier in 2000.

I remember: Bulldog, Dumas, Yoda, and a bunch of others.

Congrats, folks.

Obviously you came in during the waning days of the everyone.net board days. One poster still here packed up and claimed to leave, but couldn't really leave so he went with the name Yoda and continued to post.

Bulldog came over to Thailand full of something and posted a daily diary that eventually talked about him getting fired for having sex with a married teacher. He also talked about taking his Thai workmates to Nana Plaza for burgers since it was the only place to get good food in Bangkok. He claimed to be a real educator.

Dumas was another poster's lame satire of Bulldog.

Here's an example:

Day 524

Lek got her allowance. I got "lucky." By lucky I mean no more bitching from her and I got a little bit of the good stuff.

As I left work last night I was remined that my principal has a special ceremony she needs me to attend at 730am on Thrusday. Great, I teach till 9pm and start the next day at 730am.

Ok so the stupid little ceremony ISN'T teaching, but the way I look at it, if I am putting on that fake smile and needing to listen to people speak bad English and comment on how good it is, that is working. Not working would be saying "Listen, shut up, I can't understand you and I don't want to understand you," or "Talk to the hand because the mind ain't listening."

Oh, did I mention that I am not paid for it?

I have a good mind to get sloshed tonight and show up sloshed. I can take anything if I have my bottle of Vodka by my side. Before Thailand, I stuck with only beer and wine, now in Thailand, I prefer the heavy stuff. Vodka Crusiers are sweet, but there ain't nothing like a Vodka and coca-cola.

7-11 has a great deal on their plastic 390 ml bottles of Coca-Cola. Empty half of the coca-cola out and fill the bottle up with vodka, brandy, rum or anything else you like. Put it in the fridge to keep it cold and you can enjoy a refreshing drink anytime. Take it out with you, sip on it all day, no one knows the difference.

Oh, back to my story.

I woke up late today. That means I do the 30 second shower and run off to catch one of those green buses. Lek mumbled something about wanting extra money. Huh!

At one time I swore I would never be caught dead wearing a tie. Now everyday I wear one. Along with my roughed up shoes. Day 524 in Bangkok, Day 576 with these same pair of K-Mart shoes. I want to buy another pair but with my size 13 feet, forget it. (Anyone have a source for big dress shoes?)

After teaching the Matayom students today, I will teach little 5 year old brats in an after school kindergarten. If the Matayom students weren't enough to neccesitate inebreation, these kids surely are. Screaming mad children. The only way to manage is to demean myself by prancing around the classroom singing I'm a little teapot and Pat-a-cake then give them all some coloring worksheet. How the hell this teaches English is anybodys guess but the parents and students sure love these classes more than when I honestly cared.

Then I will go home to Lek. She will mumble something about money. Anybody wana buy me a drink tonight at the Londoner?

I guess things really haven't changed here, have they?

Me too, I'm flying back to the cold, wet and depressed on the 19th.

Well guys... I suggest we come to some kind of agreement if we are going to go ahead with it.

How about adding a poll with different dates to the thread Hollow? I'd do it myself but I'm off to class.
