This train was a double decker beasty, on the back of the chair is a clip to stick your ticket under so the ticket stamper doesn't have to bother you, talking of ticket stampers, I am still having trouble getting to grips with the fact that farangs do menial work, ok I realise that someone has to do it, but what the hell went wrong in his life to make him become a ticket stamper, I mean he can't have spent his childhood dreaming of a life on the trains collecting and stamping tickets, suppose he could become an English Teacher in Thailand though.

My neighors older brother was one of those ticket stampers. He made his first million with the money he earned from ticket stamping. He got into real estate.

He made is 100th million sometime last year. He was and is a ticket stamper and now retired.

I'll say it: I could go for a cold snow. I love it. Fuck me, you're making me miss America which isn't hard living in this shit hole.

The owner of this lovely car specailises in marinating babies in his secret herbs and spices recipe, seems to be good money in it.

Pretty sexy.

Looks like your having a good time over there DD. Be careful or you`ll be shouting USA (in a deep tone) soon.

^^Too small.

dirtydog · 11-04-2008, 03:09 AM

Well was much too busy this morning for breakfast, and it is raining now and bloody cold so it was lunch in the suite.

Yep a can of chili, some nachos and a bottle of becks beer, these cans of chili are more tastier than the Mexican restaurants in Pattaya.

We let the maid do the room a couple of days ago, I thought we had lost 2 cups and a couple of scotch beakers, just found them in the dishwasher, yep, she used the dishwasher to wash 5 items, if I was her boss I would fire her for that.

dirtydog · 11-04-2008, 03:26 AM

Haven't had a chance to catch onesof these yet but I reckon they got to be cheap, I shall be downtown again tomorrow so lets hope I get a chance to.

At $12.00 plus workman's comp, state taxes, SDI, liability Ins, and a few other added goodies giving her an hourly cost of probably over $20.00 an hour I imagin you'da gave a medal.

NOW you're making me homesick

dirtydog · 11-04-2008, 04:47 AM

^Yeah I thought that one was pretty sexy myself, well we are now trying to get a flight, the weather is about to turn to shite, should be snowing by the weekend, not something I want to see or experience, nor does she.

friscofrankie · 11-04-2008, 04:52 AM

I lived in a suburb of Chicago named North Chicago 'bout half way between Chicago & Waukegan in the fifties through early sixties. From experience the snow in Chicago turns black soon as it hit the ground. Even if it is White it's some cold shit man. Get Out!

Don't forget my bourbon!

dirtydog · 12-04-2008, 05:50 AM

Sex is easy to get in Chicago, all you need is a fanny magnet, now I have seen a few of these fanny magnets for sale around the 6,000 bucks price range, these come with a 5 year garauntee that you will get more girls than you could cope with,also if you go for the leather interior rumour has it that they will orgasm within seconds of foreplay, seems like a good deal to me.

dirtydog · 12-04-2008, 05:58 AM

So we was back downtown Chicago again today, it aint bad as it is only a 50 minute journey on the train, these trains aint nothing like Thai trains, ie they are nice and quiet and run really smoothly.

Americans are shite scared of being sued, some could call it consideration,me I think it's just fear, if you are at the curb they will stop about 8 meters away and wave you across, they won't go anywhere near pedestrians in their cars, the dog owners will not introduce their dogs to people just in case they get sued for allowing their dog to lick some one, it all seems a bit excessive, but probably good if you have had a really bad day and just want to be left alone.

The pavements of chicago, if there is a slight dent or hole in the pavement, it will be coned off.

Wind was real strong downtown today.

It is only today I realised this was snow, just thought it was piles of dirt and salt.

That's only because American women love to fake orgasm, they are a nasty bunch, be careful, very careful, they will bite your head off when you are done with them and they will take your car !!!

chitown · 12-04-2008, 08:51 AM

We used to talk about the rating fo cars like that.

What was the vehicles GPM??. Girls per mile.

In my day, it was the Pontiac Trans Am. I miss that car - red with T-Tops.....

Of course as handsome as I am , my GPM would have soared even if I drove a UGO!!!

Where the pictures of the black girls ?

dirtydog · 14-04-2008, 12:02 PM

The urge to move to America has grown again, I would have moved there instead of here all those years ago but my income wasn't enough, now America is basically cheaper than Thailand for a farang with the way the dollar is, the work opportunties are better, the climate is whatever you want it to be depending where you want to live, the people have a reasonable degree of education, well compared to Thais they do, not all the women are 200 kilos, I saw some sexy beasts, the food is a million times better as is the service, basically all Thailand has going for it is cheap taxis and cheap sex, I am getting old now so neither of those matter so much, well apart from the cheap sex, but I think I can get that out of my system, well in the next few years anyway.

chitown · 14-04-2008, 12:09 PM

^ I can evict the free loader out of my condo in Chicago. He is behind on the rent and hardly ever pays on time. This is a nice 2 bedroom, with furniture, 1 large bath and a lovely kitchen. Has a nice view of a park and withing walking distance of the elevated train station, 2 Thai restaurants, many other good eating places and a supermarket. All for $1500 a month and you pay all utilities. That is a bargain, most places rent for $2000 and up in the area.

I only rent it to the other guy because he keeps the place neat and he does maintenance and property management on some of my other units. An the best thing is, he gets out and goers to his sisters when I come to the city so I have a place to stay!

Interested?

If 200 kg's doesn't frighten you, the sex is damn cheap too- they'll even buy you breakfast at Macca's, thus delivering a small profit in your hands.
