Hmmm, my last word on this topic is:

For me my usual is time enough to finish one drink unless otherwise engaged in a close encounter of the wurst kind. In that case I will be there for three drinks depending how much I enjoy the action.

No it wasn't you're lmtuism, it was mine. " who's slogan was "

No not in prison, just posed in front of a grill. I believe this and other similar photos were originally post cards. Some with photos of girls are rather titillating. Also think the photographer was a little light in his loafers. Here is web site. http://michel.megnin.free.fr/tp.htm

I have solved the early morning breakfast dilemma; just stay in bed until late morning to noon.

What better excuse to stay home and have your ass pampered? For downtown Pattaya the other option is Tonys gym. Gym closing are common even in the USA, it's called bankruptcy. I have had this happen twice, show up at the gym and locked. I doubt there is any recourse. One time I had signed up for a membership one day and gym was closed the next day so I was able to contact American Express Credit Card and they did not charge me.

My guess is, just as a real life the chicken needs plucking to make it clean, and ready to cook, so the chicken plucker's job in printing is to go through all the type making sure everything's nice and clean, and if it isn't it's his job to clean it. If so, it must be a thankless, tedious task just as it must be plucking real chickens for Col Sanders . . . That's not plucking, that's preening. Forget Col Sanders and remember Frank Perdue, the chicken king, who's slogan was "it takes a tough man to make a tender chicken". ***Anyone spot the lmtuism?

Speaking of art and prices paid, I have an original in my collection (an original copy) by Kees Van Dongen of Le Jeune Arabe. Does anyone like this portrait? At one time perhaps it was considered inconsequential. What do you think? Would you pay $15 M

Thanks for posting that FH. I always wondered what was the cause of the deaths in CM. Someone must have really doused the beds and linens in those rooms to cause death so quickly. Nasty stuff.

I was thinking of cold type regarding chicken plucking. And for sure, goat-choker is indeed a compliment, albeit a back-handed one, at which LMTU is a master.

C I think the British spelling is eggstatic. Koko will continue to scratch around for a more precise answer to chicken plucker. Must be something to do with picking the correct type from a box of type face; maybe the chore of a boy aka chicken. I did learn about a goat-choker and a rim editor in the printing biz. LMTU is a good example of a goat choker.

Oh no! You mean there are not drawers filled with 1000 Baht notes with names and account numbers in the vaults at Thai banks? What is this world coming to?

Koko does know the meaning of galley in the print trade but none of the other words. As for chicken plucker I have heard that term used to describe someone whose preference involves chicken especially a cockerel.

My question would be, how does a Thai bank know you have died? If you die outside the Kingdom likely they would never know but what if within Thailand? From what I read the US Embassy has a hands off policy regarding assets held by Thai banks although they will secure personal property of the deceased. Anyone have an answer?

Re: Ps & Qs correction. Probably the real meaning is Pints and Quarts but there is a suggestion it is Peas (Pea Jacket) and Queues (pig tails). Someone might steal your Pea Jacket and your tarred Queues might soil your uniform. Now I have to take a mental break from all these word gymnastics.

Some of you old salts who served on HMS Victory as a powder monkey should know about a brass monkey.Cannon balls were stored on a rack known as a monkey and often made of brass. In extreme cold the monkey would contract and off would come the balls, thus the expression.As for minding your Ps & Qs supposedly not Pints and Quarts but Pitch & Queues and any Jack Tar worth his salt would know why to mind them. Do you?

I have a sense that Fountainhall is making this post as a teaser for the first prize of his next big contest. In which case Koko does like the choice of Bora-Bora if a winner.

Bless my sole! Koko committed a homophone or is it a lmtuism? In the first sentence above, it is sail power not sale power.

Most likely it was only warships that had oars and rowers so merchant ships relied on sale power for the most part. Not really sure if there was not another steering oar on the left side of ancient vessels; a lot of images on google do show this. As for port it does derive from the Latin word portus. From what I read, porter, was not used until somewhere around the 12th century. Omnes manus in ponte: induc navis ad portum et præpara expositura onerariae. Of course you are all familiar with the nautical expression "cold enough to freeze the balls off a brass monkey" and they were not referring to the powder monkey which, of course, any true sailor would know.

Rogie; perhaps speed writing is simply typing in the words quickly without careful thought to grammar or spelling? Like some artists who just slop paint on canvas and expect the viewer to interpret the results or people who toss on any combo of clothing without thought as to their appearance? Actually there is excellent voice recognition software which will quickly and accurately convert spoken language into written text although it may have some difficultly with homophones and fem-voiced boys. This software can even learn to recognize regional and national accents.

Oh, oh, better give the answer before something dreadful happens. Since the steering mechanism, the steerboard, is on the right side of the ship, the captain will port his ship with the left side when he enters the port so as not to damage the steerboard against the dock/wharf. Likewise, if the steerboard is pressed against the wharf it will not be effective when casting off. That is why a ship has a starboard side and a port side. Kind of like the driver's side and the passenger side of a car, but that does get confusing depending on what country you are driving in!

Consider you are the captain of the good ship pictured above and you are entering the harbor/port; which side of the ship are you going to dock the ship?

For those who know the answer it is obvious, as it always is. Rogie you are on the right track when you mentioned "port".
