Just tell the lady that, the next time her dog bites you, you’re gonna fucking kill it.

If the food sucked, then the haggis probably also sucked. No quality control. They’ve should’ve hired me to cater. (Or am I having a Dunning-Kruger moment…?)

A shame you didn’t try the haggis, but it seems to have been a good time overall. Welcome back home.

“Come Together”
They misspelled your moniker, I see. Alas.
Are those one-size-fits-all garments, or did they size you to make sure your gift bag contained clothing that fits?
Anyway, here’s hoping the Haggis Hash went well.
I can only hope and pray that that’s iced coffee inside a toilet that’s been wrapped in a garbage bag.

Oh, and your Full English, to be a proper Full English, needs mushrooms!

That’s pretty close to a “Full English” breakfast. You’ve apparently got the beans, which aren’t pictured, but you’re missing the “bubble and squeak” and some black pudding. Some curmudgeons might argue that your bacon is the wrong kind of bacon, but I’m not so discriminating.
It might be an old-people colony where you are, but everyone seems to be having a good time, and isn’t that all that matters?

Looks to be a nice place. Thanks for the pics and the captions!

Muffins looking good! Good luck with the Haggis Hash.

Sorry to hear about the nasty ascents, but that was a great pic of the sunset. Hash on!

Read all about haggis here. The entry has a pic of the standard, round, sheep-stomach haggis, as well as a pic of the cylindrical haggis I’d mentioned on Saturday. Good luck with the Haggis Hash and the subsequent games! Is anyone sizing you up for a kilt?

Welcome back! Thanks again for hanging out for a while.

Oh, and an editor’s note: “Daechang” should be “Daecheong.”

Thanks for joining me on that bracing walk! Thanks, too, for coming over for dunch/linner. Next time, we’ll do a savory pie!
Safe trip back.

I’ve seen you rack up over 30K steps before—many times. I seriously doubt this hike will be all that massive, especially since you’ll be walking along with my slow ass.
Good to see you had the chance to spread some seasonal cheer among the ladies. Happy Thanksgiving!

Welcome back to the badlands!
You realize, of course, that you can pay any Korean taxi driver with a credit card. No need to get out and come back.
And you’ve been away from Pyeongtaek for so long that you’ve forgotten there’s a “g” in the name! The PI has become your very own River Lethe.
Respect and hats off to Mr. So. 49 years! We Gen Xers, many of us nomads, have no idea what company loyalty means.

There are several points along the Seoul-to-Bundang walk where we can jump off the trail and onto a subway to head back. That shouldn’t be a problem. Let’s just make sure you don’t let things get too severe—out of a sense of pride—before you finally tap out! First sign of trouble, we abort the mission. Better safe than sorry.

Safe travels! If you’re tearing up those steep mountain trails, then I think a flat walk to Bundang is going to be easy-peasy.
They’re forecasting a 20% chance of rain for Saturday, so I think we’re going to be okay. If we get caught by rain partway along the path to Bundang, I’ll bring along a poncho for me and an umbrella for you.
Will be in touch via Kakao.

I guess just stick with the places and people you have positive memories about and associations with. Don’t visit old haunts where the bitter ghosts of the past can sink their ectoplasmic claws into you. I’m impressed, though, that you last tried a Korea visit only five months ago, and you’re already trying again.
Oh, and go somewhere you’ve never been before! I know you’re a creature of habit, but having a new experience while in Korea might be just the thing to help create some new, positive memories.

Interesting for me as well. I haven’t done any distance walking at all for the past month! I’ll get in a few strolls this week, though.

If the world is your church, then you can worship anywhere, I guess.
Congrats on the win. Looking forward to Saturday.

Wherever you turn, the nanny state is there, and it continues to encroach despite the efforts of the true Resistance. Sorry to hear about the imminent vaping ban. What’re you gonna do when they ban beer and other intoxicants, thereby forcing you further and further into a Muslim lifestyle? Soon enough: no more pork, no more lady Hashers in tight shorts, none of that Western nonsense.
As for the ants: I heard years ago that boric acid is the answer for an ant problem. Learn more here.

Dead man walking? I’d say you’re very much alive and kicking. Keep making the most of the present moment, my friend.
By the way, that horse looks as if it’s morphing into an alpaca.

Sorry to read that it was a rough day full of bureaucratic bullshit. Good thing you managed to keep your cell phone!

Good luck with the Hash. I look forward to the pics. As for those menu items… yeah, I’d read that the same way you did. And in the end, because I’d still want the quantity I’d want, I’d end up paying double just be to sure I got two of everything. Ten dollars for a full-size breakfast is a bit expensive by US Denny’s standards ($7-$8), but it’s not awful.
» Posted By Kevin Kim On 18/November/2019 @ 5:33 pm
Oh, yeah—I forgot to say that, on your worst day, you’re not Hoyt-level bad. Whatever might be going on with your punctuation, your ideas are always clear and rational.

A lot of people quote Sarah approvingly; they’re able to get past her many, many gaffes. She apparently speaks and writes several languages; she’s originally from Portugal, I think, and she has repeatedly said that English isn’t her first language (at a guess, “Hoyt” is her non-Portuguese husband’s surname). Still, that’s no excuse if she has pretensions to playing in the same park as the big dogs on Instapundit and elsewhere. I know French people who speak and write in picture-perfect US English, so that’s the standard I hold Sarah to, especially if she fancies herself an English-language novelist. God, where would she be without editors? And for me, it’s not just the grammar and mechanics that are problematic: the way she puts her ideas together also gives me a headache. If she calls herself a writer, then she’s a bad one.

See, that’s what happens when you don’t label your photos. Or are we supposed to know Allen by sight? I’ll have to go back through your posts and see how often he’s mentioned and shown in pictures!
» Posted By Kevin Kim On 17/November/2019 @ 5:46 pm
I’m gonna guess that Allen is the dude on the far left, in the blue cap, with a dartboard halo behind his head. Congrats on the win!

Interesting. I was expecting the CCTV to be set up outside.
How did you decide on the camera positions? Did the American who sold you the CCTV system help out with that as well?

The low spark of high-heeled boys
«« Back To Stats PageGlad you managed to avoid impaling yourself. And that set of stairs looked pretty grim. I don’t envy you.
Also: I can’t un-see Lucky’s balls. Thanks.
