PAD shuts down airports in bangkok.

Whoa! Just woke up, and guess what happens?!?...

I get this phone call from da brain. he tells me that the PAD has closed down the airports in bangkok. so, then, I'm thinking to myself.. ..isn't some of the lounge lizards suppose to be leaving today to go back to the states?

SHIT HITS THE FAN once again IN THAILAND!!!!

a few phone calls, and a few hours later, I get this text from the lounge lizards who were stranded out at the airport.. they were able to get this taxi to drive them back into the city proper. Whew!

a thought just came to me...

with all these people not being able to leave by plane, that means TOMORROW, the restaurants offering turkey dinners will be PACKED more so than normal. (does that make sense?)

imagine thousands of westerners coming back into bangkok from the airport searching for rooms to hold up in until the PAD leaves the airport. THEN, imagine all these hungry westerners who lost out with joining their families back home for thanksgiving day. ALL these westerners will be searching for a place in bangkok where they can have their turkey dinners.

IT'S GOING TO BE CHAOS!!! ..EAT SLOW AT YOUR OWN RISK!!!

hmmmm?... I wonder if the PAD have some scam going on with the department of thai tourism? forcing 10's of thousands of tourists to stay longer here could conceivably rake in millions of dollars EACH day. ..interesting concept.

anyway, back to the news at the loooobby..

yesterday, I met up with errol flynn, dennis the menace, and tiger for lunch at 2pm. we ate at this shabusushi buffet over at the central world mall. ahhhhh. Ooohhhh. dennis the menace was in an extraordinary mood. so, he treated us. what a guy.

we then all went around the mall and did some major window shopping. 2 hours later, we all went our separate ways. I went home to take a power nap. with all that food in my stomach, I got really sleepy.

at approximately 10pm, I went over to the lobby to hang out. not many people around at that time. it was the sarge, timberwolf, augusto, the new york cop and I. that was it. the new york cop was unhappy. so, I left the lobby earlier than I normally do and went out into the parking lot hoping for more positive conversation. ..as it turns out, I met some 2 news guys who seemed to have the same criticism about the world.

neurotics. the world is full of them. ..run, FOREST, RUN!

it was around 1am when things started turning around in my "office". a number of lounge lizards popped out of the woodwork then.

roll call... the priest, the analog man, the silicon valley man, pancho villa, miguel hidalgo, augusto, sarge, timberwolf, the new york cop, craig constantine, sweetheart, kilroy the stud, tripod, the watcher, that girl.

left the scene around 3am.
