Request for (regular?) front page article from Porky Pig

This is a free speech zone where you can discuss and debate everything Cambodia related whether you're a dyed in the wool leftist, a liberal or somewhere to right of Attila the Hun. This is also where you get to read the news the local media suppresses.

C'mon, I want it! His articles are brilliant!

Anybody else?

Can someone set up a poll?

Well vlad, since you have posed the question, and since the standards have apparently been lowered in recent days, I'd like to suggest to the admins of this good and useful website that they approach forum user ken svay and offer him at least as much compensation ($50?) to write a "respectable" 'front page' article for K440 as has been offered to other "writers" of late, with perhaps an emphasis on travel adventures in the hinterlands of Cambodia in his fascinating and Hemingwayesque style which is mostly devoid of bullshit and cliché.

but they aren't his "articles"?
Sure, I read any post by Porky Pig as soon as I see his name and I think he does what he does superbly .... but front page "translations"? I think we should have a Porky Pig sub forum though :D

Agreed.

ken svay would be an excellent choice. But who's going to teach him about that thing called paragraphs?

How about I write in Ken Svay style.
Paragraph and commas are for suckers.
Verb ellipsis the new black.
I will write in quasi haiku avant garde style.

I think I'd prefer to see the current, sporadic entries that Porky makes.
He posts when he finds something interesting - which maybe wouldn't necessarily mesh with a regular posting slot.

Better to keep the standards Porky has been applying over his own posting regularity... my 2p.
