Now comes the interesting question:  <strong>Have we, as a society, evolved so little that these findings could still apply to XXI<sup>st </sup>century humanity (in a more subtle, insidious way, of course), or are those parasitic email just isolated freak incidents that shouldn&rsquo;t be taken out of their proper context by manipulative Mazzy?</strong></span></p><p style="line-height: 150%" class="MsoNormal">&nbsp;</p>    <object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,29,0" width="300" height="110"><param name="movie" value="http://media.imeem.com/m/72iphxpYfl" /><param name="quality" value="high" /><param name="menu" value="false" /><param name="wmode" value="" /><embed src="http://media.imeem.com/m/72iphxpYfl" wmode="" quality="high" menu="false" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="300" height="110"></embed></object>]]></description>

			<title>Speed Drinking!</title>
			<author>Japamerican</author>
			<description><![CDATA[This will be a bit like speed dating, but less organised and just as fun...maybe even more fun!

The deal is, if you can finish three pitchers of beer in one hour, you get a Larry's Dive Polo shirt, can sign your name on the Hall of Fame/Wall of Shame, and you get 50% off of the pitcher price! Whoever gets the fastest time, I will pay for your pitchers! Any girl who can do it in less than an hour gets everything free as well.

One rule during those 60 minutes...no puking.

The night will definitely get interesting after that. You can choose your date however you like, but s/he has to choose you too! If you throw up on your date, you are disqualified...hehehe. If you come, you are not required to do speed drinking...watching will be guaranteed fun as well.

Who's ready?

(Larry's Dive is on Sukhumvit Soi 22, 80 meters inside the soi on the right side)

			<title>Bangkok Symphony Orchestra and Me</title>
			<author>bCool</author>
			<description><![CDATA[<p>My colleage asked me if I wanted to go to see opera. I told her that I had to think about it cuz opera isn&#39;t my things... not hate but just not feel like to hear it this time. Then she said it was ok Khun K.&nbsp; (one of our colleage) would go to join the Bangkok Symphony Orchestra....</p><p>&quot;Huh&quot; I said, &quot;If Bangkok Symphony Orchestra I will go&quot;&nbsp;</p><p>She was surprised&nbsp;like everyone else around there, cuz a person like&nbsp;me.... want to see symphony orchestra !!!</p><p>Why not?&nbsp;I went to see&nbsp;their show since&nbsp;I was studied in first year in the university.&nbsp;First time, I saw the poster at AUA. about the show, it&nbsp;said&nbsp;free admission&nbsp;for&nbsp;students (great rehearsal) at Thailand Cultural Center, Main Hall. After that I went there again and again... until staff there, She worked for public relations department asked me if I want to work with them in the concert. I told her &quot;yes, I would love to&quot; </p><p>I set up my team to work at the concert hall... our job was taking the audience to their seats. 250 - 350 baht / night.... why not just work 2-3 hours and we could see free concert... if not I could go home after that. </p><p>When I was studied in the final year at uni. I had to find a workplace to be trained... if not I couldn&#39;t graduate... so I applied for the BKK symphony foundation to be a trainee in public relation department. I learnt so many things from there... the manager was a very serious guy but he was &quot;jaidee&quot; man. The last day, he asked me if I wanted to work for the foundation, got paid about 8000 baht / month... I said &quot;yes&quot; I worked there about 2 months... I like the job I can tell you but 8000 baht I couldn&#39;t live... I got the better offer from Bumrungrad Hospital, so I just left. </p><p>Anyway, that&#39;s my background about BSO and me. </p><p>It&#39;s been 10 years already that I haven&#39;t turn back there... It&#39;s might be good if tonight I can see the old colleages... </p>]]></description>

			<title>50 000 </title>
			<author>Appreciate</author>
			<description><![CDATA[   After keeping a eye on the progress of her votes in the last couple weeks I told Aom that I would be the one giving her the big 50 000 vote.  

Of course it is all just for fun, but then today I got online and notice she was at 49 998 ... so I waited for a short while and someone gave her one more vote .. and then I just gave Aom her 50 000 vote !

We met once at a TF event.  I think she is a really nice girl,  no wonder she is so popular.

Cheers for Aom !

			<title>why don't thai girls like to french kiss?</title>
			<author>michael_rae</author>
			<description><![CDATA[<p>why don&#39;t thai girls like to french kiss? answers on a postcard please.</p><p>maybe they didn&#39;t get taught properly...</p><p>quote:<br /></p><p><font face="Arial" size="3" color="black">                   1. Brush your teeth, get a good bath, nicely groomed and clean and fresh, before meeting the other person.</font></p><p><font face="Arial" size="3" color="black">                   2. Get into a comfortable position - you can&#39;t kiss if your back feels like                   it&#39;s gonna break. Suggestion - Sit side by side on a comfy sofa. <br />                   <br /> 3. Hold your lover , firmly but gently - don&#39;t cause pain. Suggestion would be to hold the shoulders, the neck or gently on the side of the face, one side or both sides. <br />                   <br />                   4. Move your faces closer. Don&#39;t bump noses (not a problem for thais). Suggestion would be the guy angle his face slightly so you                   don&#39;t bump noses. <br />                   <br /> 5. Kiss gently, normal closed lips kissing, and close your eyes. Closing your eyes increases the sensations you feel, and also sets the mood. <br />                   <br /> 6. Continue kissing gently. Get comfortable with simple closed lips, lip-to-lip kissing before going anywhere else. <br />                   <br />                   7. If fine till here, tentatively, slowly and lightly draw your tongue across the other                   person&#39;s lips. <br />                   <br />                   8. Chances are from here, if the other person lightly parts her tongue, slowly explore the other                   person&#39;s tongue in a light licking motion. <br />                   <br />                   9. The tongue has a very sensitive surface, which is why tongue to tongue is the                   essence of french kissing. <br />                   <br /> 10. After you&#39;ve tried lightly licking the other person&#39;s tongue, you can try sucking on it, wrestling with it ( see if you can hold it to the floor of her mouth ) and other things like that. <br />                   <br /> 11. Explore the other areas of the mouth. Especially the roof of the mouth. Lightly lick, or tickle the area with your tongue. <br />                   <br />                   12. Don&#39;t bite. whatever you do, don&#39;t bite. Well not til a bit later anyway!<br />                   <br />                   13. Don&#39;t swing your tongue round and round like a windmill. Explore                   lightly, don&#39;t drill your way through. <br />                   <br />                   14. Breathe through your nose. Breathe through your nose. I say again, breathe through your nose. <br />                   <br /> 15. Follow so far? You can lightly use your hands too, lightly rubbing the other person. Suggestions, along the waist, along the back, the arms, especially the inside of the arm, the neck, maybe running your fingers through her hair.</font><br /></p>]]></description>
