1/23/2003: Thailand's Miss Drunk

Arthur Dent: What's so unplesant about being drunk?
Ford Prefect: Ask a glass of water!

What you see there is Thailand's Miss Drunk competition, which is meant to promote Thai wines.

The winner was one Arunothai Sriaran. To win she had to drink approximately half a liter of the stuff and then make it through the shown obstacle course of bottles.

Thai senators were not amused, and called the event a disgrace to the dignity of Thai women. (Uhhhh... isn't Thailand one of the prostitution capitals of the world?)

so what's the next shot ...

I remember hearing stories about the skills of thai women, such that they could, with an orifice not designed for such things, in addition to, um ... "playing" with the bottle sans hands could remove the contents solely by the power of the muscles of said orifice and return it to a wineglass ...

Of course, that could just be a story.

But There's More!

Also, extinguish candles and "smoke" cigarettes (inhale and exhale -- take that, Bill Clinton) using said orifices, according to a friend who swears he saw this first-hand!

I've also heard about the bananas and the ping-pong balls.

As long as it's not that they can <i>peel</i> bananas...uh...like that.

I, too, have personally witnessed the ping-pong ball feat. Please don't ask me why; I have a rather embarassing personal history of which I'm not particularly proud (sobriety is my friend).

I will say that rather impressive distances can be achieved by a highly skilled practitioner of such ball-istic endeavors. ;-)

Gotta love Prince.

Don't forget the hard boiled eggs and that's AFTER the donkey.
