after seeing what a mastadon was packing.

Till Sudden Trauma to the Head Do You Part



A good sharp headbutt should do it,
 
Julie thought as her aged and filthy rich
 
groom moved in to help her out of the car.

Two Cambodian Girls

and the Meaning of their Young Lives

 
 
Mary spent her childhood pondering her life's
incongruous mix of poverty and contentment,
and whether escaping the former
would mean losing sight of the latter.
 
Julie only cared about making funny noises
blowing on pieces of grass.

Camera Shy or Politically Savvy?

 
Manuel didn't care what the guy offered him,
no way he was going to
"Just look at the camera and say Trump."

in 5,000 or 10,000 tablet canisters.

Meanwhile, Out On The Water...


Arthur's shoulder really was sore from badminton.

But it didn't look like anyone else was going to
jump in and try to save Barry.

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.

Ly Hong finally found a way
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?
You just gonna walk away?
...Huh?..."
('Kick his ass, Willie!')
"HUH?...
...Cheap-ass whitey..."
('Kick his ass!')

Imperfect Dreams in the Thai Royal Military


Someday, young Permsik promised himself.
Someday it will be ME wearing the raspberry beret! Someday it will be ME in front!
Steering! And braking! Yes, braking!
Yes, someday that beret will be on MY head!
But...what of my hair?...

Persist. Persevere. Never Give Up.


Hell-bent on proving to themselves
that the first time was not just a fluke,
Alim and Sal have been standing outside Daniel's
each Friday during Happy Hour for twelve years
saying to every woman who passes by
"Dark meat's juicier than white meat you know."

Ryan & The Snake

One Little Jerk's Come-Uppance

 

Ryan liked to call the other kids pussies for wearing helmets.

The other kids liked not telling Ryan that there was a snake about to bite him in the ankle.
