Yeah, that place out 'there'. Anything not really Cambodia related should go here.

And I am no sob sister pinko liberal. I find leftwing virtual signaling to be just as repulsive.
Maybe they will feel empty after a gallon of gold ice cream and seek other, more fulfilling ways to wax their cash, doubt it though; they will probably be pretty full 8)

No point except to show off. It has no nutritional value and is tasteless (pun intended). Given where the world is now I think this is just a new low for humanity.

At least you're not one of those holier-than-thou sanctimonious, Mr Bucket, types who criticize the gaudy affluent, who don't affect them with anything other than jealousy.
Then there's the snivel libertarians; those lazy lefties wanting handouts, proclaiming a female future and their social views. And don't get me started on everyone else who disagrees with my backward conservatism. We gonna milkshake, God-damn clodhoppers!
