Lapping it up... lapping it up. Born white in Asia, I fully understand this:
it is how I see the world...in colour and with all it's flaws and inadequacies
Keep these TRs coming.

A Gonzo trip report. Keep it coming.

"I want you to understand that this man at the wheel is my attorney. He's not just some dingbat I found on the strip, man. He's a foreigner. I think he's probably Samoan. But that doesn't matter, though, does it? Are you prejudiced?"

OP should come to New York City, and try to take the subway during the weekend. It'll be an epic tale.

Yeah I was stuck on one of the many delayed trains this past week. 45 minutes sitting there slowly starting to boil as the AC cut in and out. Was a real treat. Listing to a woman suck, not bite, every bit of meat from her hot wings had me as a ticking time bomb.

But don't worry, our fearless Governor has declared the MTA in a State of Emergency this morning. What could go wrong?

Both terrible and terribly good I was laughing out loud, I loved every word especially the too boring to live or die something I think about all the time on the tube!

Looking forward to Part 2
