Random non sequiturs from Phnom Penh


Remember these little beauties?  No you don't, Jackson...you weren't born yet.  These harken back the days of Mean Joe Green, American muscle cars, the molestache, Led Zeppelin, Chuck Bronson films, and the 3-piece business suit.

Back in the 1970s, these devices opened any and all aluminum beverage cans.  In order to be PC and not be a litterbug (recall the iconic Indian on the beach with the trash around him and the tear streaming down his weathered face?) folks would peel back the teardrop shaped piece of aluminum and drop it back into their tasty beverage.  However, too many dads trying to suck the last dregs of Schlitz Malt Liquor out of the bottom of the can managed to choke themselves on the offending object.

The Cambodians have overcome this issue with a simplistic approach: just throw them on the ground!























Go Ducks!  Who knew that the Cambodians were such big Ducks fans?!?  They have even put up Ducks flags in their own language.



Warning:  Giant Cambodian pigeons invade Angkor Wat!



I want a bamboo mountain bike!!! How bad-to-the-bone 
would this be back on the trails in Ouray?
