Well, that’s funky but chic. But there’s a problem. It’s the Royal Thai Armed Forces we’re talking about here. And as near as I can tell, even though there’s currently 850,000 in the ranks, and they’ve been around since 1852, they’ve never won a war. Mostly Thais, mostly ties, I always say.
…parallel park. Rub his stomach and pat his head simultaneously. I bet he can riffle shuffle like a croupier, and cut the cards one-handed. I bet he sinks the eight without scratching. Probably can go fly fishing without filling his waders with water. He can shoot thirty percent from the three-point line. I imagine he hits the waste basket with his wadded-up first-draft love letters every time. He can chip from the trap and get down in two. Betcha he plays on the All Madden setting. Betcha he doesn’t have to pay for drinks, but does anyway.
I bet that fire is shaking in its boots, right now.

There are these people I read about daily on the Intertunnel. They’re preparing for the apocalypse.
They’re hoarding ammo, of course. Stacks and sacks of MREs in vaults in their bunkers. If you’re not hip to military lingo, MRE stands for Meals Ready to Eat, or more informally, Meals Refused by Ethiopians. Anyway, they’ve got bat caves and safe rooms, generators and survival equipment for every eventuality. They’re ready for a zombie horde.
If I was a betting man, though, and the apocalypse came, and I had to choose who’d survive the longest between the most Omega Man that ever prepped, hunkered in his bunker with stores galore, and this Finnish dude put out in the middle of a frozen lake in nothing but a loin cloth with nothing but a quart of aquavit, I know which way I’d bet. I’d give you odds, too, because it wouldn’t even be close.

With our without a Chantays soundtrack, the Pipeline on Oahu is the greatest place in the world to film surfers. And the march of technology has made drones and lightweight and rugged hi-def video cameras to ride them cheap. So there’s no better place to hang over the action and see what comes out of the curl — or not.
