Casually Changing the Subject to the Philippines

March 14, 2018 Timmy Bee

More Men Have Walked the Moon Than Filipinos Have Walked a Block

August 28, 2017 Timmy Bee

I force Jenny into doing a lot of things. One she is completely not used to at all is walking lots. We don’t have a car so we are pretty much stuck using public transit, walking, or taking hallucinogenic materials … Continue reading More Men Have Walked the Moon Than Filipinos Have Walked a Block

Diversity in the Philippines Starts and Ends with Shirt Color

Filipino Boys Are Old Enough to Remember Their Circumcisions

July 7, 2017 Timmy Bee

The most annoying, reviled, and disgusting flap of skin on earth is probably Ann Coulter. After her, it’s foreskin. I’m not old enough to remember having mine. If I was Filipino, this would be different. Their men are actually circumcised … Continue reading Filipino Boys Are Old Enough to Remember Their Circumcisions

Benefit of a Long Distance Relationship: It’s All Yours

April 22, 2017 Timmy Bee

Long distance relationships don’t come with many benefits. It’s like my work offering a one-percent 401K match.
