I did not like how Irona was portrayed in the 1980s Richie Rich animated cartoon. She became a shape-shifting super-hero, which she never was in the comics. Honestly, Richie Rich, is the ultimate one-joke character. Oh, I get it. He has more money than he'll ever need. Isn't that hilarious?

Yeah, after a while he got quite boring.

Richie Rich's saving grace was a character named Mayda Munny. She was a schemer who was always trying to woo Richie, usually repelling him when her plans backfired. She was hilarious. Though featured regularly in the comics, she appeared (I think) in only one animated episode.

Richie Rich was definitely one of the weakest, most formulaic Hanna-Barbera TV cartoons. I guess they needed to produce a certain amount of shows to turn a profit, but it doesn't really excuse how mediocre some of those shows were. When they were good, though, they were a cut above the rest of Saturday morning animation. Same with Ruby-Spears, the studio that their two head writers formed after they broke away from them.

Mayda Munny was a hoot! Always loved when she appeared in the comics.
I loved Scooby-Doo as a kid. One of the better shows. At least there was some variation to the mysteries.

Jolly old England. Blaze and I would put the UK at the top of your Europe wish list, except it is not part of Schengen. The additional visa can be quite a hassle

Being an Anglophile, I've been wanting to go to the UK for ages, but I'm way short on money right now.

I empathize, Fanfie. Plane tickets alone can cost an arm and leg.

I've been to the UK once. More than anywhere else in the world, I want to go back.

I've always wanted to try authentic English fish and chips.

I love traditional British food. It's become pseudo-hip to knock it, and I've even heard British people do it, but I love it. Good-quality sausage rolls put me in ecstasy.

I don't know how traditional British food would be received by my culinary palette. I've been weaned on spicy Asian food my whole life so it would be a very strange experience.

It's funny, I grew up in Latin America, where food is often very spicy, but I've always leaned towards the blander foods. Just my contrary nature, I guess.

For lunch today I made a sandwich with chicken, cucumbers, grated carrots, onion...and peanut butter and Sriracha. It was kinda Thai-ish.

That sounds amazing, LT.
Meanwhile, I'm starving and have been too lazy to go get food.

I want to travel everywhere! If I had my way I would visit every single country in the world.
Blaze and I went to Thailand for a week last year. It lives up to the hype.
And yes, trying new food is a big part of why I want to travel.

We didn't encounter any trouble there Fanfie, but of course we were discreet in public. The gay spas and bars we visited were a lot of fun and we met gay men from all over the world. I can't speak for the typical citizen though.

Is Bangkok's red light district as big as everyone says it is?

It doesn't actually cover that big an area, in terms of city blocks. Of course, not all establishments are located in the same area. It's kind of weird actually, you have bars on either side of the street while little stalls selling shirts and souvenirs are set up in the middle of the street.
Compared to the rest of Southeast Asia, Thailand is extremely sexually open of course. The Philippines and Timor-Leste are predominantly Catholic; Malaysia, Indonesia and Brunei are majority Muslim; and I think Singapore still has some anti-homosexuality laws.

The traffic lights in most US states are lined up vertically, with the red light on top. In Texas, they are usually horizontal, with the red light at the left.
