TotallyOz Posted October 11, 2012 Posted October 11, 2012 I grew up on a farm and while in Thailand, I still love farm boys. So, in honor of Farmer's Day, I am going out on Friday Night and I'm going to pick up a Rice Farmer. Quote

Guest thaiworthy Posted October 11, 2012 Posted October 11, 2012 I grew up on a farm and while in Thailand, I still love farm boys. So, in honor of Farmer's Day, I am going out on Friday Night and I'm going to pick up a Rice Farmer. Good luck! How do you find them? Do you enjoy a roll in the hay? Rice farmers are fun, but once you lay them you are horny again 10 min. later. I picked up a copy of the Farmer's Almanac and was shocked to find there weren't any sexy pictures of farm boys in it.

Are you sure you picked up the Thailand version of the Farmer's Almanac? I remember it last time I looked at it and I thought Out in Thailand was a major sponsor. Quote
pong Posted October 12, 2012 Posted October 12, 2012 Not much INTernational then-completely omitted here in Europe. BUT: YESterday 11/10 (if i got it all right) was yet another INTernational day-a little more in the perspective of this forum- Coming Out Day. Specially centered on football (aka as soccer) and the male vigorance there so prevalent that apparently there is since many years not a single gay footballing star. But some Puerto Rican boxer confessed to belong to our club-but I know nothing of that ''sport''. However- it also did not seem that much INTernational-as apparently in TH it was, 11/10, girls day or so- lauding the growing nr. of girls getting higher eductation-and lamenting (and likely asking for donations) the many who are still lagging behind. Somehow it seems that about any day in september and october are devioted to some kind of good cause, also whole weeks. We have the day of the bread, a week/or day for sustainability and organic foods and evebn a day for the opticians/glasses day! And something for a rather supect (is all that money well spent and not corrupted?) pink ribbon for ladies breast cancer-or against it, i rather guess. Quote
Rogie Posted October 12, 2012 Posted October 12, 2012 There seems to be quite a number of farm days depending on which country. Thailand has:- 1) a Farmer's Day, which was either 8th or 9th May this year 2) a National Rice and Farmer's Day which was 5th June this year 3) a Royal Ploughing Ceremony (coincides with Farmer's Day) - some history follows . . . In the ceremony, two sacred oxen are hitched to a wooden plough and they plough a furrow in some ceremonial ground, while rice seed is sown by court Brahmins. After the ploughing, the oxen are offered plates of food, including rice, corn, green beans, sesame, fresh-cut grass, water and rice whisky. In Thailand, the rite dates back to the Sukhothai Kingdom (1238–1438). During John Crawfurd's Siam mission, he noted on 27 April 1822 (near the end of the reign of Rama II) This was a day of some celebrity in the Siamese calendar, being that on which the kings of Siam, in former times, were wont to hold the plough, like the Emperors of China, wither as a religious ceremony, or as an example of agricultural industry to their subjects. This rite has long fallen into disuse, and given place to one which, to say the least of it, is of less dignity…. A Siamese … who had often witnessed it, gave me the following description:—A person is chosen for this occasion to represent the King. This monarch of a day is known by the name of Piya-Pun-li-teb, or King of the Husbandmen. He stands in the midst of a rice-field, on one foot only, it being incumbent on him to continue in this uneasy attitude during the time that a common peasant takes in ploughing once around him in a circle. Dropping the other foot, until the circle is completed, is looked upon as a most unlucky omen; and the penalty to the " King of the Husbandmen" is said to be not only the loss of his ephemeral dignity, but also of his permanent rank, what ever that may be, with what is more serious—the confiscation of his property. The nominal authority of this person lasts from morning to night. During the whole of this day the shops are shut; nothing is allowed to be bought or sold; and whatever is disposed of, in contravention of the interdict, is forfeited, and becomes the perquisite of the King of the Husbandmen following the ploughing. Specimens of all the principal fruits of the earth are collected together in a field, and an ox is turned loose amongst them, and the particular product which he selects to feed upon, is, on the authority of this experiment, to be considered as the scarcest fruit of the ensuing season, and therefore entitled to the especial care of the husbandman. And something for a rather supect (is all that money well spent and not corrupted?) pink ribbon for ladies breast cancer-or against it, i rather guess. Keep it simple khun Pong. Nobody could possibly confuse your use of the word for as being the opposite of against. TotallyOz 1 Quote
