Targets of Opportunityblog advertising is good for you Credo"Sign on, young man, and sail with me. The stature of our homeland is no more than the measure of ourselves. Our job is to keep her free. Our will is to keep the torch of freedom burning for all. To this solemn purpose we call on the young, the brave, the strong, and the free. Heed my call, Come to the sea. Come Sail with me." -- John Paul Jones "Pardon him, Theodotus; he is a barbarian, and thinks that the customs of his tribe and island are the laws of nature" --George Bernard Shaw, "Caesar and Cleopatra" "And those who were seen dancing were thought to be insane by those who could not hear the music."--Friedrich Nietzsche "A kind Providence has placed in our breasts a hatred of the unjust and cruel, in order that we may preserve ourselves from cruelty and injustice. They who bear cruelty, are accomplices in it. The pretended gentleness which excludes that charitable rancour, produces an indifference which is half an approbation. They never will love where they ought to love, who do not hate where they ought to hate."--Edmund Burke “You say that it is your custom to burn widows. Very well. We also have a custom: when men burn a woman alive, we tie a rope around their necks and we hang them. Build your funeral pyre; beside it, my carpenters will build a gallows. You may follow your custom. And then we will follow ours.”--General Sir Charles Napier "Μολὼν λαβέ" -- Leonidas "Blogito Ergo Sum" -- Neptunus Lex Amazon AssociateFor the Effort!Winnar!![]() Subscribe![]() CategoriesPagesTagsacademy

Australia seems to be the last bastion of non-PC thought–and even there, PC is rapidly gaining ground. GREAT billboard, though; falls in the class of “wish I’d thought of that!”
After the S-3 community decided it didn’t need we SENSOs or to find subs anymore (genius plan there) and I found myself hard filled in P-3 (wing dude) hell, I learned to always look on the bright side of life and availed myself of every det to the land of smiles…..but that was long ago, and I’m a different person now. Isn’t that how that line goes Lex?
Phuket was more laid back (no pun intended) but Pattaya always had the nightlife! I suspect that there was random pieces of metal floating in the atmosphere over Siam and Australia, because the ‘chips’ light never failed to illuminate in the vicinity of those two great sailor-friendly lands…
Chunk
former Mauler …who are decomming later this week in Jax, FYI.
Ya… and never mind the pronunciation disconnect. It’s a GREAT visual! Not to mention a triple-entendre, at the VERY least.
–Buck, who spent four wonderful months on a mountaintop near Chiang Mai, a month at Ramasun Station, and several weeks “coordinating” in Bangkok… mid-70s. {sigh}
Good on Air Asia!
Gotta luv the non-PC attitude.
My Thai geography’s a bit rusty these days, but I’d swear Phuket is at the end of the Pha Canal.
Nicer than Delta’s, “Brazil; It’s different down there”.
Wear the Fox Hat?
Buck, British ‘Cockney’ pronunciation will get you there or at the end of the check-in line for the far queue.
Hey Chunk, son-in-law will be there too…the ugly Dutch ADC. I told him to make sure all those planes are in good shape to hand over to Hugo…wink, wink….
Byron,
Was he a fellow Mauler?
Cheaper still when Uncle Sam sails you there. Phuket, I’ve been! Got pics to prove it too!
