Goodbye and Good Riddance 2008: "...and the horse you rode in on."  

Every year we watch the Charlie Brown special, do the Snoopy dance, wish everybody a Merry Christmukkah, and thank our Secret Santas in the good riddance thread. Which is this one, in case you were wondering. Oh, and 2008? Don't think we've forgotten about you.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.

Hurrah!

and, best of all, a miniature golf cart made out of a beer can! This will look really sharp next to my tin rooster.

Yay!

dances dance of relief

(Although, I must tell you that the miniature golf cart is in fact a Tuk Tuk - here in Thailand, these things sputter around on the roads, dodging through the traffic, like taxis but crapper and more dingily picturesque. They're basically the bastard child of a motorbike and a golf cart and they look like this.)

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.

More than one edition of The Amazing Race has featured the Tuk Tuks.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Anyone familiar with Jade from America's Next Top Model will remember her calling a Tuk Tuk a "toot toot...tut tut...hooptie."

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.

Ah, bless them. I prefer to use the meter taxis, but the traffic can suck and beggars can't be choosers, so it is not unusual for me to be seen heading homewards in one of these things.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

I can think of at least three Thai restaurants I've been to called Tuk-Tuk. In India they're also called auto-rickshaws. t /tuk-tuk trivia

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

And in Bangladesh they are called baby-taxis.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

They have handlebars instead of a steering wheel! Crazy!
