  1. You were indeed by yourself. The early bird catches the best views. 🐦 With those pictures, your newest hobby can be making beautiful postcards for the palace!
  2. Our Russian apologist will need to consult his favorite dictionary for the definition of дефенестрации (defenestratsii😞 "The favorite method of self-gratification for anyone who questions the actions and policies of Dear Tiny Leader"
  3. And that's exactly what Imodium is meant to fix. ☺️
  4. I'm glad you now know that this subregion exists! 😇
  5. Well, you're the one who kept questioning these regional definitions because you couldn't pin them down as rigid and precise. Nothing seemed to satisfy you, so I had to ask about your motivation. Nothing out of bounds there, chappy! 😎
  6. As I quoted, "the definition of Northeast Asia is not static but often changes according to the context in which it is discussed." You seem to expect fixed, never-changing definitions. Why not start with "gay" and "straight"? 😎 Or are you just taking the mickey? Fooling around? Taking the piss? Mocking? I suggest that you simply use "Oriental" if that's your style. 🎯
  7. I know you're retired now. So you have time to pursue a new hobby: subtle humor writing. 👏
  8. In the following definition, Japan and Korea are included. As it states, "the definition of Northeast Asia is not static but often changes according to the context in which it is discussed." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northeast_Asia I'm not making these subregional names up! They're all defined on Wikipedia and other sites. 😉
  9. That's a regional term that is not as common as the others. I've definitely seen Northeast Asia, which excludes Japan, Korea, Taiwan, and Hong Kong.
  10. So you would rather call them "Oriental," which was the term proposed by another poster? That's what I was responding to.
  11. From your home town?
  12. By saying that, do you think people will stop commenting? 😂
  13. Subregions of Asia according to geographers, anthropologists, and linguists South Asia: the entire subcontinent including India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Nepal, and sometimes Afghanistan (they're all south of Russia and China, bounded to the south by the Indian Ocean and to the north by the Himalayas and adjacent mountain ranges) Southeast Asia: mainland from Burma in the northwest to Malaysia in the south, plus Singapore and islands of Indonesia and the Philippines in the east East Asia: Japan, Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong, China, Mongolia Pacific Islanders: Polynesia, Micro- and Melanesia, and sometimes the Philippines Central Asia: Uzbekistan and all the other -stans plus Iran, and sometimes central Russia, western China, Mongolia, and Afghanistan West Asia: Turkey and the entire Middle East including Saudi Arabia and the Gulf nations, and sometimes Iran
  14. Keith, can you please share some of your best travel blogs offering Business class deals? Thanks! 🙏
  15. Yes, the Doubletree chain is indeed different abroad than in the old US. Buffet breakfasts in Indonesia are generally huge spreads in larger hotels. Same with Malaysia. You're traveling in Indonesia during the Imlek celebration (Chinese lunar new year), so you'll see the red decorations everywhere. Probably a little less of it in Bali but still very festive there too in the urban areas. In Indonesia, many Chinese guys are cut too. While they're not Muslim (most are Christian or Buddhist), they often like to go with the flow in the genitalia department. The Balinese are rarely cut, however, except for the very few Muslims in the east of the island and a bit elsewhere. But in Bali, as you know, most of the massage providers are from elsewhere and tend to be Muslim.
  16. Curtis Sliwa and the Guardian Angels did some good work in the late 1970s on the NYC subways. But he eventually became a deranged, violent right-wing nut. This story describes him succintly: Sliwa, who has in the past fabricated stories of criminal behavior — by his own admission — to sensationalize the issue, continued on, blaming the altercation on the groups of migrants being bussed to the city from border states. “We’ve got to take 42nd Street back,” he said. “These illegals think they own this state and rule the night. This is our country. If they can’t abide by the rules than we will kick them back from where they came.”
  17. This woman's name is Misty. The video clearly shows her misty and foggy thinking. ☺️
  18. If the term is "quaint," maybe you should just not use it at all? East Asian, South Asian, Southeast Asian, and Pacific Islander are very commonly used these days. We're long past the time when British usage rules the world. So if those tourists are inded from Taiwan, Japan, Korea, Hong Kong, or Korea, it's fine to describe them as East Asian. This isn't a matter of being "PC." It's a matter of being accurate and specific. 🎯
  19. I think they're secretly happy to have Mayorkas to complain about and heckle for the next nine months before the election. What's the sense of impeaching him in February when you can keep him as a talking point all year?
  20. Where's your verified evidence that Stacy Abrams, Hillary Clinton, and Al Gore did "EXACTLY" (your word, not mine) the same things that Drumpf was indicted for commiting on, before, and after January 6th? That was YOUR comment above! Yet as @floridarob just said, "you selectively respond and ignore questions." 🎯 Both you and Lewd Licentious Marjorie need to provide all the receipts when you make statements similar to these: “This indictment isn’t about Pres. Trump claiming the election was stolen. If it was, Stacey Abrams and Hillary Clinton would be in jail,” tweeted U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) after Trump’s fourth criminal indictment was handed down Monday night. "And if this ruling holds up, the next GOP AG should go after HRC, Stacy Abrams and Al (inventor of the internet) Gore. They did exactly what Trump is accused of."
  21. Please show us the receipts showing that Stacy Abrams conspired to defraud the government, organized her allies to disrupt election certification, obstructed an official government proceeding, and oppressed, threatened, and intimidated people in their right to vote in an election. Yes, you need receipts for all of those if you want to be "exactly" right in your claims. While you're at it, you'll also need to show the same receipts for Hillary Clinton and Al Gore. Or are you simply parroting Lewd Licentious Marjorie? 🤣🦜 🤣 “This indictment isn’t about Pres. Trump claiming the election was stolen. If it was, Stacey Abrams and Hillary Clinton would be in jail,” tweeted U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) after Trump’s fourth criminal indictment was handed down Monday night.
  22. The current site shows 20 guys. All are bisexual except one (who doesn't offer his services to women).
  23. The same organization, Falun Gong, produces both the paper and the "fake" chinese civilization fantasy on stage.
  24. How far we've come from Bette Midler singing regularly (and marvelously) in a gay bath house! 🥳
