The D

Yesterday I stopped by Lai Thai Guest House for a little use of the pool. Only 50 baht. Swam for a good long time too. Surprised I didn't get a little burnt.

I was hanging out looking at the giant catfish next to the pool when one of the hotel guests walked up to do the same. Turned out he's from Stockholm, Sweden. Also turns out he's a huge D fan! Tenacious D that is, for all you shamefully uncool people who don't know The D. Who'd of thunk, I'd come all the way around the world and find a D fan? From Sweden?

Who'd of thunk he'd also like Liam Lynch, Andy kaufman, Ricky Gervais, The Big Lebowski, Futurama, candle lit dinners, and long walks on the beach. But that's neither here nor there. He and his girlfriend are circling the globe on one of the those continuous one way tickets. It's good for a year. All they have to do is keep heading east. His girlfriend was upstairs headed for nowhere but the toilet. She must have had what I'd had. I think they were headed next to Laos, Cambodia, New Zealand, Los Angeles, Las Vegas... to spread the good word of The D.

By the way, the baby's already a huge fan of The D. I play it for him non-stop.
