    Bored with Boards

    Rather than (Being accused of) sidetracking a thread...

    And don't forget lights & makeup. Some apply pancake to look female, others to look as young as possible: because they know there's a market.

    Tipped off?... Or lucky? I think every bar in Pattaya may on any given night or, at least; now & then have under aged 'workers' known, or unbeknown, to owners & management--Not just the ones that flaunt it.
    In a typical situation: a boy leaves home for Pattaya. He has a friend, or a friend of a friend, who will help him get fake I.D., a place to stay, and a job at 'his' bar (perhaps) for a 'consideration.' Like to song, 'It's a simple little system' (Fiorello 1959.), fueled, to a greater or lesser extent, by farang\farang money, demand and supply, lust and greed, etc....

    ************************************************** ******************************************

    I have to wonder if the (constant) mention (Of chicken bars) on message boards doesn't draw more customers than the number who are persuaded stay away--And I wonder if some of those 'mentions' are the work of those bars themselves. It Pays to Advertise...especially when the advert is FREE.

    Comment--dare to differ in opinion--and some flamer, on some crap message board, and today they are ALL* crap, immediately shrieks: "Pedo!"

    At the beginning of the gay rights movement; 'Boy Love' groups tried to latch on to the coat tails of gay rights groups. They were generally rejected. It looks like their efforts did not, however; go unnoticed. Now that it seems, the so called 'religious right' find it more and more difficult to attack gay people (Just) for being gay they are making a conscious, concerted effort of associating 'gay' with: sexual predator, child molester, pedophile & pederast. Do gay 'sheep', as it appears, take up the bleat--Or are they, in fact, hetero homophobes who infiltrate gay spaces to spread their bile, bring dissension...seek & (attemp to) destroy gay agoras?

    *On another thread, now closed, someone took a swipe at Baht-Stop. It does seem to be a running-bitch-brawl going on between half-a-dozen people posting under two-dozen names--But has anyone taken a look at the amount of vitriol, hate and bigotry posted, lately, on sweet little ol' sawatdee?...Swat Thee? Much of it far exceeds a, "Good-natured jab."

    ************************************************** **********************************************
    And as an--It had to happen sooner-or-later--humorous (?) aside: A post was recently started, by the same person, Mr. A, on three boards (Okay, not a big deal.) The (second) post\reply on all three was by the same (Mr. B) person and (third) post\reply, on all three by (Mr. C): same person.

    She walks in beauty like the bike!

    I love the vote option "I never read boards" Ha Ha!

    Of course I didn't vote truly. Last night I went to Cartier - pricey drinks, earsplittingly loud music, only when we, the only customers, went to leave before buying drinks did they agree reluctantly to turn the volume down to moderately painful, 7 boys of which one was quite attractive and danced beautifully - liquid hips. Five of the boys wore shirts. My companion had been before and said that the boys were all very handsome on his previous visit. Drinks a mite pricey at 160 baht. All in all a moderately amusing ten minutes before we fled.

    "Bar" in Thailand means something very specific, and it is not a disco or other kind of club.

    My choice would have been "I never go to bars".

    That's, She walks in BOOTY, like the BLIGHT, but I like bike better; it's more...'Thai'!

    Yes, same-same, unless you want to nit-pick. (Do you?)
    But the issue is, 'Are you influenced by message boards....', so if you never go to bars: option two will suffice.

    Two (2) simple questions...What's loaded?...Unless you are talking about your 'handle', Lunchtime--And a joker: "I never read message boards," which is, so far, the chosen option of two people which the preceding (Written) replies seem to bear out.
    Question: "How do you win at three-card-monty?"
    Answer: "When you get someone to play."

    Giving my age away! Hell!... I'd pay someone to take it! You're welcome to it; who knows, it might be an improvement!... But I only used that term, "chicken bars," because someone: one of the usual suspects, on another board referred to "chicken hawks." But now I think of it; "Chicken Coops," might be a more apt appellation--Or, should I say, apt agnomen?


    I must apologize for saying this board is, "crap"; boygeenyus' (I've always had a soft spot in my heart for him--But I adored Baby-face Nelson, Mad-dog Cole, Richard Widmark when he pushed the old lady do the stairs in her wheel-chair....) truly lovely reply to Smiles has given me hope...a little hope: everyone gets a little schmaltzy around the holidaze\too much nog in the eggnog. [Reminiscing: I was thinking of that old, old (first) pattayagay board; the green one, the very kind, gentle, polite, informative one--Of about six-posts-a-week--Until the Dreaded Ned board 'closed'...Run, Mary! Avalanche!] I guess it's good to keep a barb in.
