Gangsta River Cruise in the Malaysian Interior


The one they called 'The Plunger' stared at his victim.
"Now?" he whispered to his boss. "Can I do him now?"

Ramone sucked on his cheeba, long and deep. "Patience," he breathed. "Wait until the river is at its deepest. Then..." He blew the smoke from his lungs and stroked his mullet. "...you can escort our white invader overboard."

Ricky just let his hands hang loose between his knees. He loved this shit.

to combine his love of cooking
with his dream of becoming
a paramedic.

On the Mean Streets of Northern Thailand


"Just make some funny faces,
he'll give us candy or something..."

 
 
"...Or money! Ooh!
Maybe he'll give money!..."
 
 
 
"Hey man, check this!
Susan got a light saber,
that's Jabba the Cat
and I'm usin' the force
like a mind trick yo!" 


 
"So it's like that then?

('Kick his ass, Willie!')
"HUH?...
...Cheap-ass whitey..."
('Kick his ass!')

Steering! And braking! Yes, braking!
Yes, someday that beret will be on MY head!
But...what of my hair?...
