I hear you're traipsing around in my neighborhood. If this is so, we should have a drink. I'll be bellied up at Linga bar tuesday night around 9 and somehow hope to see you.
Lori

Hey Lori, how long will you be in SR for? I'm trying to talk myself into a visit there in July or August.

Hi Michael

I'll be here till July 29, then back in September for a good while... Hope to see you before I go!

I can't imagine that the celebrated Mr. Dogster would allow himself to be seen in public at a notorious gay bar. People would talk.

Should he stumble accidentally into the vicinity, I would imagine he would be the only gentleman of certain years sitting WITHOUT a limp Cambodian money-boy draped over his nether regions. That might be a clue.

I suggest you just approach every solitary foreign man you see and enquire if he's a Dog. The one who says 'No' will be.

The last that was seen of Mr. Dogster, he was heading down an alley with a rather solidly built blind Honey-Girl just this side of her use-by-date, dressed in a tight fitting black outfit and clutching a pink umbrella.

I believe she uses the umbrella to ward off the competition. Be very, very careful.

There's a green painted guest-house just opposite Samot that
seems to rent out rooms for a 'short time'. In Dogster's case this could probably be measured in seconds. Failing the Linga Bar you could look there.

What's better than unleashing my inner most fears and admitting to the contradictions inside my own internal dialog to a perfect stranger on a drizzly evening in a cambodian gay bar?

Not much.

Safe journey home my friend.

Ahhh - that's what the Dogster always aspires to be: The Perfect Stranger.

I enjoyed it too. Lots.

Now, off I go.

Dogster- Does your Honey-girls Adam's apple protrude much?

Oh, was that what it was?

I just thought she'd swallowed a piece of tropical fruit and had trouble getting it down.

By the way, Mang - you missed a rather interesting addition to Kw's Pattaya post yesterday. A gentleman called Daveid felt compelled to write a lengthy and rather abusive response to you, justifying his life in Pattaya - and making one or two - or three or four - rather pithy comments about our favorite Mang.

I had just finished my fabulous and witty answer when the post 'was closed to further replies'. Our editorial team is really on the ball these days.

Just know that even when The Great Mang is sleeping Dogster is watching for danger.

BTW Lori: I'm sorry our beautiful love-fest has been despoiled by these juvenile posts. Mang cannot be controlled where Honey-girls are concerned. He's a somewhat confused old fella and we have to be kind to him.

Oh, damn. I wish I would've seen that, Dogster.. Just the kind response that I sincerely enjoy.

Don't worry, Dogster. Manly men like us see at least one honey-girl that shakes the foundation of our norms.

Unfortunately, it seems SR in July is out for me too. I've been ordered to organize a trip to Dubai for our new management consultant, and escort him there as well - business class on Emirates' A380; ugh! The things I do to earn a paycheck!

Still, I want to see Angkor in the rainy season. Maybe I'll try for late September. Keep me posted on when you'll be back.

Oh the J.O.B.

How happy I am to be blissfully unemployed. Of course, jetting around in business class on someone else's dime would not suck.

September is actually better for rainy season touring than July, so I'll let you slide. I won't be back here till Sept 27; just bought the tickets today. Hope our timing works out!
