Insane Presidential Candidate
Posted by: Ralph van den Berg
Date Posted: 4 Nov 2008
If you are voting today, and you are not sure whether to vote for Obama or McCain, then why not vote for the most bat-shit insane candidate of the year: Lee L. Mercer Junior! Here are some un-edited quotes from his website (www.mercerforpresident2008.com).

From "About Lee L. Mercer Jr.":

"On August 22, 1992, The State of Texas installed an... (READ MORE)





Payap Coffee
Posted by: Michael Robert Meister
Date Posted: 3 Nov 2008
Dear Readers,
Coffee at Payap University is really good stuff. Especially if one gets whiped cream added to ones beverage of fine and delicious and addictive coffee. Coffee outside of the Payap Univerisy campus also tastes delious as well too. Not only that but there are many ways to add different flovoured combinations to things in drinks nowa...

Problems with Poetry
Posted by: Ralph van den Berg
Date Posted: 2 Nov 2008
Some people really get into poetry. They love taking a poem and ripping it to shreds. They start making claims that in some way, or any way, the poem reflects the way the author is feeling or experiencing something in his or her life. This is fine if that is what the author intended, but is that always the case?

Take any poem, read it the way... (READ MORE)





Complaining
Posted by: Darryl Crist
Date Posted: 29 Oct 2008
Complaining is a favored pastime of mine that is shared by at least 99.9% of the world’s population. Yes, even you enjoy complaining even if you don’t realize it.

Now when I say complaining, I am talking about the act, not necessarily the mental state of the complainer. I do not endorse being ungrateful, discouraged, depressed, discontent, ... (READ MORE)





Cofffee
Posted by: Michael Robert Meister
Date Posted: 28 Oct 2008
Dear Readers, I am writing on the rambling again. I have been to many gas stations that have great Oishi bottled caffinated coffee. I also still like other kinds of coffee such as coffee from Starbucks and other more corporate company made brands of coffee too. Well have to go now but wish me all luck on my next great find on a good rock solid c... (READ MORE)





Welcome, Kingdom of Sexdom
Posted by: Ralph van den Berg
Date Posted: 27 Oct 2008
"There are a number of mechanical devices which increase sexual arousal, particularly in women. Chief among these is the Mercedes-Benz 380SL convertible."
- P. J. O'Rourke

"Having sex is like playing bridge. If you don't have a good partner, you'd better have a good hand."
- Unknown

"I can remember when the air was clean and sex was di... (READ MORE)



Ayn Rand
Posted by: Kendall Meade
Date Posted: 25 Oct 2008
just saw this and it made me think:

"Thinking is man's only basic virtue, from which all others proceed.

and his basic vice, the source of all his evils, is that nameless act which all of you practice, but struggle never to admit: the act of blanking out, the willful suspension of one's conciousness, the refusal to think: not blindness, bu... (READ MORE)



Give Me Death
Posted by: Ralph van den Berg
Date Posted: 16 Oct 2008
The fear of public speaking is more common than the fear of death. This means that people would rather be the one in the coffin than the one giving the eulogy. This is quite ridiculous, because I do believe that forcing someone at gunpoint to give a speech in front of hundreds of people will work on anybody. When it comes down to it, people do n...

Myth of Smokers Toothpaste
Posted by: Ralph van den Berg
Date Posted: 5 Oct 2008
There are some questions that arise when we hear about Smokers Toothpaste. Main concerns are about the results. Does Smokers Toothpaste benefit the teeth of smokers more than it does for non-smokers? Is Smokers Toothpaste better than regular toothpaste? Should you use Smokers Toothpaste as well as regular toothpaste? There are indeed many questi... (READ MORE)



Knowing the Truth (or not)
Posted by: Ralph van den Berg
Date Posted: 2 Oct 2008
Truth seems to be an incredibly valuable thing, but it does contradict something that comforts us in our everyday life: the benefit of the doubt. If we knew the truth, there would be no doubts, thus no benefits of the afore-mentioned. A major way that knowing the truth would ruin our lives would be that all movies suck. Most movies depend on kee... (READ MORE)



IN THE BEGINNING
Posted by: Kendall Meade
Date Posted: 19 Sep 2008
In the beginning, there was nothing, which exploded.

in the beginning was zero, and then there was one.

in the beginning, God made idiots. they were just for practice. then he made us, and we called his idiots "monkeys".

in the beginning, when God was nearly done making our world, he smoked up- and then set about doing the animals on A... (READ MORE)



What is the most wanted thing?
Posted by: Annie
Date Posted: 18 Sep 2008
I am a columnist of Chiangmai Tabloid so I am the opinion staving. For me, I think the most wanted thing for me is the truth ;) so If anyone want to keep your answers in secret, please put "(p)" for private & "(P)" for public at the end of your sentences.

Sorry about writing in English but it'll take me forever to type in Dutch..

Thank you... (READ MORE)



Cheating
Posted by: Richard Mark Hefner
Date Posted: 10 Sep 2008
At my University, which shall remain nameless (PU), I have noticed a lot of cheating going on. Now while this is entirely up to the individuals involved, I think it lessons the quality of the degree I will get when I graduate.

When these people graduate, they will be idiots and not be able to do anything without someone else helping them. If... (READ MORE)



Coffee on the Go!
Posted by: Michael Robert Meister
Date Posted: 10 Sep 2008
Dear Readers,
Since I have almost lived in Thailand for almost just shy of two decades, I have experienced the joys and the tradgedies of coffee on the go! When going on trips to other parts of Thailand I have enjoyed these tasty drinks which are: Nestle Coffee, Oishi Coffee, Milo Drinks, and not just coffee but these soft drinks as well: peps...

Land of Smiles and Teargas
Posted by: Ralph van den Berg
Date Posted: 2 Sep 2008
Thailand has managed to do it again. First there were the problems with sickness and disease, where the streets were littered with corpses of those struck by mad bird flue and SARS, followed by the military coop in 2006 which left countless buildings riddled with bullet holes and shell blasts. Now the revolution is happening, and the army has on... (READ MORE)
