And that is why the gods gave us hands . . .
Bucknaway has branched out to multiple boards to spread his news about how well he is loved in Thailand and about how many Thai working boys want to do him for free. Here’s a group blog entry written by a black man living in Bangkok that tells a slightly different story. Maybe it is just because this blogger is straight that his experiences have not been quite as grand.
No one ever accused me of being thrifty. I don’t clip coupons, I think it is a must to pamper myself daily regardless of the cost, and I would not bother to bend over to pick up money off the ground short of a five dollar bill. But occasionally I run across a money-saving tip, which in this case is more of an aggravation saving tip, that just makes cents. If nothing else, it was worth a bad pun.
Yet another attraction in Thailand that Jabba has never heard of. And who said museums have to be boring?
Finally some science I can believe in!
For those who love to whine about the cost of a drink in Thailand’s gogo bars, you probably don’t want to try Anantara Hotels’ $50 cup of coffee. Of course it’s not just any coffee . . . steaming cup, steaming pile . . . they are so easy to confuse.

A thought-provoking article that gets more right than it does wrong even if the focus is entirely on the ladies: Why Sex Tourism in Thailand is Not as Black and White as You Think.
You’d think the world just ended. Or that we re-elected a black man as President. FOX News’ new rallying cry is that White America is no more and all that is left is a country of losers who ‘want stuff’ – Bill O’Reilly can be soooo eloquent when he puts his mind to it.

Norm Yip is a photographer with an eye for the beauty of the Asian male. And I guess anything else I’d add here would be completely unnecessary and totally ignored . . .
Michael O’Leary, the CEO of Ryanair, says seatbelts on airplane are worthless, in a crash everyone will die anyway. And he may have a point. But using that to justify his plan for offering a standing room only area on planes is stretching it. He says people would willingly stand during their flight if it meant saving a few bucks on airfare . . . huh, now that I think about it, he’s got a point there too.

i belive the black guy in bangkok as much as i belive bucky .. i like the country but not the people !!! have you ever read such utter shit ? as for his … *i figured we could go out and grab a bear and talk more about such things and he said no*… black or white bear ?? also im not a racist but thailand has made me racist… is that the country you love that has made you racist or its people .. ive often thought of popping over to afganistan to do a bit of sun bathing as i love the country there ,, but have never been because i would imagine id get killed by the locals ..
i reckon he must have a chip on each shoulder to keep himself so level headed … what a twat ..
I dunno Tim, I think he was being truthful. I also think tthe fiilter he ran his experiences through was faulty, but it was interesting to hear his perspective.
And what’s the point of having windows for passengers on airplanes? Most passengers don’t have a window seat, and those who have – there is not much to see most of the flight. Airplanes without passenger windows would be a lot cheaper.
Actually airlines without passengers are the more lucrative ones. Maybe someone should start up an airline where people are shipped as freight.
Oh wait. Air Asia is already doing that.
Seatbelts may be worthless in a crash, but they can save your life (or at least save you from serious injury) in bad turbulence.
See Glenn, you are the kind of people FOX news is complaining about. You people just want stuff.
Speaking of FOX news & it’s well-informed viewers, has your mother come to terms with Obama’s re-election?
lol
I would never rub mom’s nose in Romeny’s defeat.
Call from a caller ID blocked number, snicker, and then hang up maybe, but push the agony of defeat? Never.

I love your end of week articles! Thanks
Thanks Chris.
Just out of curiosity, have you noticed there is text below the pix too?

end of the week if full of BOTTOM!!!
is there? a such real bottom? or pure bottom? I wonder…..how and why? I think the idea is just hawt *moans
Actually I have experienced a lot of what he talks about. As a non-white looking for a job back in the 90s, I can sympathise with him. Luckily, I decided that a big fat salary and a cushy position back home with quick hops up north for houghmagandy was a better option in the end. As for size, yes, that too. I’m only 5 ft 10 in but still a lot taller than most of the Thaiboys and I have also heard it said that some of the boys were frightened of being forcibly raped by me whenever I walked into a new bar (this was in the pre-China hordes days). And for all that i try to dress and act nothing like a sex tourist (I don’t even hold hands in public) many of the better=off Thai people I have met have told me as nicely as they could that they wouldn’t be seeing me anywhere other than in my hotel room late at night.
In spite of all that, I still like the Thai people as long as I remember that most of them do not have access to the education and knowledge of things outside of their daily experience that I do. Most of them have never seen a black man and a white one entering their ambit in any way is still a novelty, I believe.
I’m a quarter-Thai and Malaysian, so I consider myself lucky that I can still earn the kind of money I do, work as little as I want to as a writer, and still be able to afford vacations and sex holidays in Thailand where for the most part, people still smile, are polite and friendly within the boundaries of their culture, insecurities and education.
I guess the guy in the blog was simply expecting a lot more than that.
I think there is a difference between racism and bigotry. And I think this blogger may have been a bit too predisposed to finding both. Or perhaps he didn’t expect either and then was shocked by cultural attitudes towards race.
I’m inclined to believe that it was shock. He probably expected some kind of sexual paradise where he’d get it for free…only problem is he did, just not quite what he expected or what actually came without charge.
Maybe he’d read one of Bucky’s posts beforee arriving and it set him up for being disappointed.
Short people got nobody to love
They got little baby legs
That stand so low
You got to pick ’em up
To say hello
They got little cars
That go beep beep beep
They got little voices
Going’ peep, peep, peep
ROFL!
Perfect timing Hendrik!
Nonsense. I’ve never turned a man down because he had short legs. And some of the longest other bits I’ve ever come across belonged on just such guys.
