Yes mostly jabbering nonsense. Very proud! Here is a cookie for him.

Wow, imagine having to sit through that...

[Playboy]

A five hour, twenty minute, spanking of the Rainman.

Still, it actually kept the natives quiet in the office yesterday morning as they watched it.

There's still hope for Cambodia if we can get hot-air ballooning included in the Rio games...

Wow, imagine having to sit through that...

I did, with my students

Reminds me of the Cheshire Cat!

Could have been worse - can you imagine 5 hours of Geoffrey Howe? (The most boring UK Chancellor ever)

Wonder if he got a standing ovation - after some of Stalin's speeches, the ovation would go on interminably as no one wanted to be seen to be the first to sit down!

One of the highlights of the speech was on the strategy of building casinos to protect the borders from neighboring countries:

"I don't like casinos, but the biggest goal for giving permission to build casinos is to protect the border."

"One can remove border markers, but one can't remove five-storey hotels. Don't be stupid," he said, in response to opposition criticism that the gambling dens were harmful to the country.

Cambodia's border with Vietnam and Thailand is dotted with dozens of casinos and accompanying hotels catering mostly to foreign gamblers since Cambodians are not legally allowed to gamble.

"You force me to talk about it. This should be a secret strategy to protect the nation," the strongman premier said in typically feisty fashion.

I hope you laughed at all the right parts right till the end, good man.


More words of wisdom:

“A dog, if [we] let him eat alone, does not bite, and eats quietly. But two or more dogs will bite each other until they break the plate.”

'Course I did. Every time the poor biddy sitting right behind him got up to go to the toilet.
