Take care if you're in Phuket/Bangkok there are loads of uh...'interesting' 'women' abound and drunken westerners get more than they bargain for often enough.

 

Haha the ping pong shows definitely taught me a few things. While in Phuket my (now) wife made me leave about halfway through the show.

I always said we are definitely crushing the Browns. The last three games are a bit tougher but we will surely be motivated to destroy Atl and upset NO.

Nice. I took a similar trip three years ago. Beautiful part of the world. Are you going to check out any of the Thai beaches or Cambodia? 

i hopped around phuket and ko phi phi in october - this is more business related, i'm attending a film festival in luang prabang and taking the scenic route there and back. i haven't been to northern thailand in years.

i was in cambodia earlier this year as well - fifth time there, i think i need to start exploring somewhere else

I’m so jealous. I love that part of the world. My wife and I went to the Philippines this year. It was great! Kinda like going to Thailand but 50 years ago.

it's largely because southeast asia collectively has one of the few societies in the world that aren't total shitheads about trans people, which is encouraging.

you gotta get creative when you're bar hopping and getting hit on though - there is no polite way to ask. a buddy system works best

yeah the philippines are great. i need to get back, it's been a decade.

laos is definitely southeast asia throwback. infrastructure is slowly catching up everywhere but it's largely off the tourist radar. every time i go i rent a motorcycle and do some long distance biking - hoping to do some more exploring this time if i can get away from the festival

I'd say the fact that Phil's trip is a bigger topic of conversation than the team probably says something.

As for me, I haven't given up. I don't believe in giving up till it's over.

Am I pessimistic, though?

A little 

[SpeedOFLight]

I will still root for this team to finish 10-6. It’s possible and I hope we do it but it’s up to the players now 

[Car123]

We're going 13-6 lol

Yea I was more than surprised more than once at the willingness of the grabby grabs right out and open and with you looking or not. We had a guy get attacked(not with fists) and some of his stuff stolen when he was out alone. That's after the Air Force gives you the briefings on it but the guy thought he was tough poo...I meant to ask those that did him in if that is true or not(teh jokes!)

But seriously we had 3 people and a designated walker, guy wouldn't listen and was always a hot head and was talking some trans-phobic poo about what he'd do if this or that and it actually happened to him.

Anything is possible— if you keep moving forward, win out,.. sure.

we will find out if there’s any heart left in this team or if it’s all gone.

i mean, a loss to the Browns would be a Stamp on GONE if the Lions wasn’t already (I’m not so sure the Bucs were lack of motivation as much as turnovers and mistakes) 

win out, including Saints in New Orleans and then we can get excited 

[Chaos]

The true fan in me is invested until the season ends.  I spend the entire offseason waiting and anticipating, that with only 16 games guaranteed a year, I find it hard to quit on them because it's a long damn time until next season.  That being said, I will not be able to watch the Browns game Sunday as I'll be driving to FL all day, and I'm not freaking out like I normally would to miss a Panthers game. 

So I guess that's where I am with it.

Im on the bus with you bro! Still have this child like belief that we will win out and make it count in the playoffs. Granted I thought we'd win the last 4 weeks. Lol. I try to be realistic but fail miserably. So fingers crossed until the final seconds of the Browns game ticks off. If we win Ill be planning our Superbowl trip on here. If we lose, probably see you guys in 8 months.

And yet you pooped me in the thread when I said I want  the Panthers to win the Super Bowl...

Talking about inconsistency and possibly even some hypocrisy. I expect that thing out of Rum Hammy, but was a little surprised to see someone else pile on. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[L-TownCat]

I witnessed ‘01 and ‘10.

This is hardly a blip on the “life sux” meter.

Hard to watch?  Yes.

But hey, it’s christmas, my little man has had 2 different solos in plays since Sunday.  Kid can sing.  

Losing a few games ain’t quite the same as it used to be.
