Mission Statement: to do very little, for very few, for not very long. Disappointing the easily pleased since 1819. Not as good as it used to be from Day One. History is Bunk - PT Barnum. Artificially Intelligent before it was fashionable. Fat camp for the mind! Nothing lasts, but nothing is lost. The Shock of the Old! Often bettered, never imitated.

It's Sunday! And regliar visitors to th' Isle O' Foam© will know that means a sickening lurch into Randy's Romper Room® - the forbidden realm of the random, the chaotic, the unforeseen, and the unpredictable!

Ignoring time is one of the features of life on th' IoF©. "Disappointing the easily pleased since 1819", moveable feasts, twisted timelines, and NOBODY IS DEAD.
DeleteWhere about in Toyland are you my good man? I had a hunch you were here but wasn't sure until I saw Joey DeVivre's mention of Siam. As you know I'm based in Korat but I get about. Was in Pattaya 2 weeks ago, and currently in Nong Khai for a few days R&R.
DeleteI have extensive holdings along the banks of the Mekong river in Nakhon Phanom. The Mekong Snow World© indoor ski slope? Mine. The famous Goat Rodeo? Mine. As is the Pedalo concession on the river, and the Snake Petting Zoo in Sakhon Nakhon.
DeleteIf ever I find myself in Sakhon Nakhon, I'll make sure I visit the Snake Petting Zoo.
DeleteIf I visited, I'd sign postcards Babs in Toyland
