Kissing, Baht's, and Manure--Happy Valentine's Day, Folks!

Right now in Pattaya, Thailand couples have been kissing for more than 33 straight hours all for the chance to win a diamond ring worth 50,000 Thai Baht and a 100,000 Baht cash prize.

Wow! A hundred and fifty thousand  Bahts? Where do I sigh up, you ask?  You could use that kind of dough and have a Valentine to smootch?

Well, here’s the thing (a dampener, if you will), it’s not that much money really. Roughly, it translates to 5,000 total U.S. dollar.  I mean, five thousand dollars isn’t anything to sneeze about, but as a prize for outlasting the other kissing couples? Hmmm . . . I pass. I need more money. Don’t get me wrong, I love my husband but five thousand dollars?  The prize would have to be somewhere around fifty thousand to even get me to consider it.

And here’s why: ( the rules of this crazy game).

1)      The couples lips can never part. Not even when drinking. They get to sip through a straw. Nice. Very nice. (Just in case you missed the sarcasm, I write this sarcastically).  

2)      No sitting or sleeping. Oh, that’s a toughie. And per the Associated Press article I read, this rule was considered “the harshest.” I beg to differ. Let’s take a look at rule #3 shall we.

3)      They even have to remain embraced while taking bathroom breaks all while monitored by a Contestant Official. Ummm . . . that’s a deal breaker for me. But obviously not for the Thai couples.

Maybe in Thailand 150,000 Bahts is a big deal. Maybe that’s like a kazillion U.S. dollars to them. Let’s sure hope so. Good luck Thai couples. Keep on kissing. As for me, well, I’m going to give my husband a peck and call it good.

So here’s some more weird Valentine’s Day news for ya, since I know you love all things weird.

A farmer in Albert Lea, Minn. decided to create a very unique Valentine’s Day surprise for his wife. A gigantic heart in their barren field made completely of manure. Yes folks, you read it right—MANURE. And guess what? She loved it. Check it out here:  http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/35369276/ns/us_news-weird_news/

What a crappy way to say I love you (a pun, because I’m funny like that).

As for me, well I prefer chocolate.

Have a wonderful Valentine’s Day!

And please, for all that’s good in the world, don’t give your honey a heart made of poop unless you have 150,000 Bahts to go with it.

How could you not love Poopheart? Or as the French say, Couer de Fumier. Or maybe they don't say that.

Anyway, Hello from a fellow Crusader.

Why, oh why, do all the strange ones have to come from Minnesota? (I'm from there too. Poop hearts are not on the agenda for the evening.)
