You KNOW they offered to take a pic when they didn't have to

They came to the press conference two days later dressed the same, their captain also requested their uniformed presence at his birthday party later this year.

God this would be such an amazing movie

Mulan (2020)

You'll need to bring your own meth, though.

$1.776 billion

Jesus, that's his 420.69 joke, isn't it?

Maybe the economies are different in Thailand, but unless those meth pills were horse sized, I think these costumes, forget labor costs, far exceed the value thereof.

[–] homes@piefed.world 44 points 18 hours ago (2 children)

No way. This picture alone was worth it.

[–] stephen@lazysoci.al 14 points 18 hours ago

How can I argue against this? :)

In the end it's not about the pills taken off the street, it's about all the sexy dance "disguises" they had along the way.

[–] homes@piefed.world 5 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

What we don’t see in this picture, however, are the big feathery headdresses that these guys were probably wearing, and I feel ripped off

[–] Evil_Shrubbery@thelemmy.club 3 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

It really pulled the whole look together :(.

Maybe the pics just aren't free.

[–] homes@piefed.world 2 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

Can you lend me a few bot?

[–] Evil_Shrubbery@thelemmy.club 2 points 10 hours ago* (last edited 10 hours ago) (1 children)

Sorry, can't, some mfs in huge wigs disguised as cops just stole by 53 pills!

Wait, that's them, on the TV, stop them!!
(Was I drunk & stole their wigs to try to get my pills back? Can't remember. ... can't remember if I always had all these wigs lying around.)

[–] homes@piefed.world 2 points 9 hours ago

Man, I fucking miss Brooklyn

[–] quick_snail@feddit.nl 6 points 13 hours ago

I think the cosplay was the reason

[–] Evil_Shrubbery@thelemmy.club 8 points 18 hours ago* (last edited 18 hours ago) (1 children)

Just one of those pills could last an ADHD village for an entire year!!

[–] homes@piefed.world 4 points 17 hours ago

Thai-grade meth pills? You know it!

[–] MeowerMisfit817@lemmy.world 27 points 19 hours ago (3 children)

The man hating that dress on the far left while the guy on the center is having the time of his life.

[–] Pat_Riot@lemmy.today 10 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

What, the one in red? Looks like pure confidence to me. The fella in gold is the one who looks like he doesn't love his dress, like he got stuck with the one nobody else wanted.

[–] homes@piefed.world 6 points 17 hours ago

Only because he doesn’t have the shoulders to pull it off

[–] Xenny@lemmy.world 1 points 10 hours ago

No he is OWNING that dress. Man on left has the pose, the stare, the head tilt. Everything!

[–] Evil_Shrubbery@thelemmy.club 9 points 18 hours ago

It's was just the high heels that fatigued him out, it was a long few days of sampling pills & dancing non-stop.

[–] SnarkoPolo@lemmy.world 6 points 15 hours ago

If they'd visit the states, they could make a lot of money at the next CPAC.

[–] CapuccinoCoretto@lemmy.world 17 points 18 hours ago

53 methamphetamine pills. That's like two dudes with ADHD.

[–] Evil_Shrubbery@thelemmy.club 9 points 18 hours ago

Did they need to do it that way?
No.

Did they get caught & had to come up with a sting operation cover story?
Lol, ofc not!

Did they have fun?
Absolutely, same time next week!

Thailand is the home of the ladyboy

[–] imhungry@leminal.space 1 points 6 hours ago* (last edited 6 hours ago)

I don't know, I've seen cross dressers and trans people all over the world.

[–] wildncrazyguy138@fedia.io 5 points 18 hours ago

Please don’t give the village people any more ideas…
