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.

[–] CaptPretentious@lemmy.world 8 points 21 hours ago

This new series of Power Rangers looks dope!

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 1 day ago (2 children)

No way. This picture alone was worth it.

[–] stephen@lazysoci.al 14 points 1 day 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 1 day 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 22 hours ago (1 children)

It really pulled the whole look together :(.

Maybe the pics just aren't free.

[–] homes@piefed.world 2 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

Can you lend me a few bot?

[–] Evil_Shrubbery@thelemmy.club 2 points 20 hours ago* (last edited 20 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 20 hours ago

Man, I fucking miss Brooklyn

[–] quick_snail@feddit.nl 6 points 1 day ago

I think the cosplay was the reason

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

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

[–] homes@piefed.world 4 points 1 day ago

Thai-grade meth pills? You know it!

[–] MeowerMisfit817@lemmy.world 27 points 1 day 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 1 day 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 1 day ago

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

[–] Evil_Shrubbery@thelemmy.club 9 points 1 day ago

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

[–] Xenny@lemmy.world 2 points 21 hours ago

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

[–] CapuccinoCoretto@lemmy.world 17 points 1 day ago

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

[–] quick_snail@feddit.nl 6 points 1 day ago

$1.776 billion

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

[–] SnarkoPolo@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

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

[–] Evil_Shrubbery@thelemmy.club 9 points 1 day 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!

[–] wildncrazyguy138@fedia.io 5 points 1 day ago

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

[–] favoredponcho@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Thailand is the home of the ladyboy

[–] imhungry@leminal.space 1 points 17 hours ago* (last edited 17 hours ago)

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