   What is happening in Buriram on the 4th?  I will be in town and glad to provide some American influence to an event  .

I think we need to combine the 4th of July with Songkran, meaning everyone throw water but the girls have to go braless (and wear white T shirts).

Hi Bums

I'd like to suggest a 4th July celebration at The Irish Bar on the 7th July.  Highlights to include a water drinking contest, a dwarf tossing competition with a grand finale of a Bingo session!

Hi Bums

Please rest assured that this has absolutely nothing to do with the  4th July celebrations at the Irish Bar on the 7th July.


Two professional midget wrestlers found dead in a low-rent hotel room may have been drugged by female robbers, according to authorities.


Post mortems are being carried out on La Parkita - or Little Death - who wore a skeleton costume in the ring and Espectrito Jr.

The twin brothers, real names Alberto and Alejandro Jimenez, reportedly had been entertaining two prostitutes on the night of their deaths.

Police said two women were seen leaving the men's hotel room shortly before the bodies were discovered by a cleaner.

Prosecutor Miguel Angel Mancera said gangs of female robbers are experienced at using drugs to knock men out and rob them but they may have used too strong a dose.

The wrestlers' small stature means they may have succumbed to the drugs more easily, although larger men have also died in similar crimes.

The bodies of the two men, both aged 35, were found at a hotel a short distance from the Arena Mexico wrestling venue in Mexico City.

Midget wrestling had a huge following in the 50s and 60s but its popularity has waned across the world.

But the sport is still enormously popular in Thailand and fans are said to be mourning its two most famous stars.

PS: The dwarf hurling competition will go ahead as planned after 1 minutes respectful silence.
