Kinda spooky out tonight in Bangkok, very little traffic this close to a pay day on a Sat night.

I know there's an upcoming election in Texas. But I hadn't heard of any elections in Bangkok until suddenly, yesterday when I got back after a weeks-long trip and was refused buying some spirits at a major supermarket because of the "election". 7/11 - everything the same.Originally Posted by TrongpaiExpat
I don't see any news of an election on both the Nation and BP front pages this morning.
So we went out instead of enjoying a restful evening at home as planned. It wasn't difficult to find somewhere to 'wet' the spirits, although our restaurant was not. Whereever I went was rather crowded, but not like you'd expect on a Saturday night payday, agreed.
I managed to wet my whistle quite a bit last night even though most places were shut.
Yes, the primary in Texas is on Tuesday, March 4. I still can't decide between Obama and Hillary. I don't think Galveston County will be dry. Maybe I will stagger into the polls with my whiskey-soda, close my eyes, and play pin the tail-on-the-candidate. I think the whiskey soda is especially important, which I obviously cannot do in Thailand! I don't want to be sober when I toss my coin in the air.Originally Posted by ArNolD
the Texas law prohibiting dildos has just been repealed
so you wouldn't need to drink as much as usual Doom Lex
Speaking for myself, that is one thing I have little interest in doing, especially in Thailand, and that is alcohol consumption. I may have one libation per week, but that is the maximum. I prefer to keep my wits about me when I'm out and about, and in my experience, doing that is not conducive with getting a buzz on, or worse, from drinking. Also, just to be on the safe side, I don't like to do anything that could even possibly effect sexual performance and while it hasn't happened to me, I have heard of a condition called whiskey dick. :cyclops:Originally Posted by Noom Lex
For myself, it's going to be easy. I prefer Barak all the way, although if Hillary stages a comeback and gets the nomination, I'll support her over the war monger McCain too. :cheers:Originally Posted by thaiworthy
Probably a good idea. Sounds like me at home. Unfortunately, when in LOS, my brain stays home (of course, I've had a friend or two in Thailand twist on my arm unmercifully and make me drink too much...... :clown: )Originally Posted by CurlyEye
I've never been there. Seriously, what is it that you don't like about it? Can you tell me without generalizations or exaggerations?Originally Posted by Noom Lex
Some friends of mine who have visited there, said they liked it, though I never asked for any specific reasons why. I know I do like the Glen Campbell song "Galveston" :colors:
