Just getting back into the swing of things here. Thailand relaxed me so damned much that my brain stopped acting wonky. What the Hell? That’s not good. Too much sanity and comfort can get a bit dull.
As a reminder, here’s my disclaimer: While I’m traveling, lots of random thoughts pop into my head. Each week I like to share a few of them. Please don’t judge me, I know I’m a bit crazy.
———————————
Why do some people think God cryptically communicates his anger through natural disasters? You would think He knows that we all have Facebook now and could read his status updates.

I walked by the Xavier Institute in Penang today. Surprisingly no one was shooting laser beams from their eyes or creating ice slides.
———————————
And I find one more phrase to add to my list of “potential autobiography titles.”
———————————
After seeing what just crawled on my foot, the phrase “as small as an ant” has lost all meaning.
———————————
Penang is an odd study in contrasts. Much of the city is ancient and wasting away, pushing right up against massively overdeveloped malls and resorts. It’s like watching the Incredible Hulk and He-Man gangbang Gollum.
———————————
People are missing the obvious answer about why so many birds are dropping out of the sky. After millions of downloads of Angry Birds, the pigs are finally taking their revenge.
———————————
Shouldn’t James Bond Island really be called Scaramanga Island? Give the villain a little credit. He was the one who paid for it, after all.
———————————
New saying I just came up with while indulging in a shave at a Thai spa: “Don’t wait until the barber has a straight razor at your throat to negotiate a price.”

Krabi has the most unique street lights of any city I’ve been to. Can you imagine the City Council meeting?
Councilwoman Chalong: “Okay, we really need to dress up our street lights a little bit. They’re kind of dull. Thanarat? Any ideas?”
Thanarat: “How about we put them in luggage being carried by cavemen?”
Council: “Works for us!”
haha I love the street lights, are they all over the place or just in one spot?

They had a couple of different ones. In another area, there were tigers atop the streetlights, evidently ready to pounce on you if you crossed the intersection while it was red.
haha – I have a photo of those weird street lights too! There were several sets all quite close together -I’d love to know what they were thinking – i think they are on the road which heads out to where they found the ancient human fossils – I think that’s what they are supposed to be LOL

Thank you, as always, Andi!
While I found myself giggling at the Snatch Thief, I was quite confuzzled at the caveman with lighted luggage. I really would have loved to sit in on that artist discussion.

Definitely an oddity, especially in a town that’s otherwise fairly mild and quiet. It’s not like the whole place was adorned in extravagant architecture.
Just a few streetlights.
dude… amazing as always!!

So wait… Krabi has BOTH luggage-carrying-caveman streetlights & elephant streetlights? I need to go to there.
Just found you through GoSeeWrite. Love it! Keep the crazily sane thoughts coming.
