   Hey, inscrutable oriental dude, if you insist on doing this stuff, at least play by the rules, okay? 6-5-4 is more sudoku than haiku.

   No need Haiku, just another Coup to stop inflation in Thailand.

   But at least you will never be alone:

   I love this site although I’ve never posted before. Check it everyday but geeeeez, this Haiku stuff (I originally wrote “crap” but maybe that’s a bit harsh) is getting old very quickly…..I think it lessens the high quality of content that is usually found here. Enough already.

   bangkok jeff - can I call u BJ for short? I hope so.

   Thanks for reading and contributing. There is a lot that goes on at this blog but being the dude who curates and writes a lot of it, along with pmmp, my only suggestion to you is one can in no way please all the folks all of the time. I gave up a long time ago. My skin is as thick as an armadillo with hard, crusty abscesses.

   I do appreciate your commenting though after being a long time reader. The haiku is something special and it has a meaning.

   Seems Yoshi took it upon himself to answer back to all the comments lamenting our discussions about the escalator and taxis. I appreciate how Yoshi realized that a reader submission, using haiku - the shortest form of poetry, would be incredibly appropriate at this juncture.

   really enuff said and hope u realize that the blog is a deep complex beast and will continue to probe its depths.
