Cheating Problems with Thai Students
This week is the final week for both my regular and weekend classes; the last final for my last class is tomorrow and I just threw a pretty good one together. I will make a rather blanket statement here and say that Thai students are pretty bad cheaters. Not only is cheating rampant, it’s so rampant that I suspect it must be ignored or even allowed by some of their other teachers*, hence the students are quite bad at it. I was a pretty good cheater when I went to school(which is not to say I cheated a lot, just that I never got caught – except once when my…

Ant Infestation
They appear with no warning When they sense the rain coming (and they are never wrong about it), ants can move an entire colony inside the house overnight, as happened here. I sat down to type out some morning emails, and a thousand little dots erupted from under the keyboard, spreading out in all directions. I flipped it over to find this – it was pretty much one of the creepiest things to wake up to, ever. Previous infestations have sprung up in laundry pilers on the floor and in my inkjet printer – I was printing out sheets with little black ants embedded in the paper for weeks after…

Songs in the key of fetus
Somebody at work gave Nam a Mozart for Babies type CD (perhaps this freely downloadable one) – and I cannot state this lovingly enough – but it’s driving me fucking insane. It’s basically Mozart on Valium, and I didn’t exactly start out a Mozart fan anyways. Nam plays it on the Pioneer system I have next to the bed every night, and it’s so babyishly cute I want to pour baby powder in my eyes and watch Happy Tree Friends reruns all night. On the flip side, though, maybe the baby will be a genius, so I guess it’s worth a try. Still, maybe I can convince her to switch…

A Hyperlinky Ode to a Damn Fine Fish – Soft Tilapia Pr0n
Oh, Tilapia, how versatile thy be! You are on my plate nearly every week, and my favorite New Years repast. In fact, you are farmed in such numbers, so misused for pest/plant control, and just so damn tough that you threaten every natural environment you visit. Some even call you the farmed fish of biblical fame. However. Now they can make your skin into leather. … And can hence be used for bust control. THE END ///////////////////// Link to the online retailer of tilapia skin products mentioned in the latter Reuters article linked above: angie&penny I finally found the video most of the graphics used above were pulled from (the…

I thought I’d have enough of LOLcats approximately three seconds before seeing the 3,764th one in an email from my 13 year old cousin, but apparently not. This variation was pretty funny: retelling the greatest story ever told, LOLcat style

Funniest Misspelling
From one of my student’s speeches this year: “I much prefer the wide open rice fields and simple homes of my country village to the confusion and chaos of Bangkok, where the skyline is broken up by ugly skycrappers.” …Another proud graduate of the School of Justin.

Coolest Company Name/Logo – Double Hanuman
A clothes hanger company. No web presence AFAIK. Do you know Hanuman? He is so kick-ass that they named one of the most devastating Muay Thai moves after him – behold the hanuman thayarn! (actually, that’s a poor example because he missed and didn’t keep his guard up – but it’s the best photo I could find)
