A new hash HQ?

Dr. Egghead expounds on the feasibility of using the Large Hadron Collider to confirm the existence of black p-branes, as posited under string theory.

Ever since the decline and then demise of the Parlang Bar some years ago, Songkhla Hash has been without a real home of its own. The Hot Bread Shop kindly lets us park our signs and other paraphernalia on their premises, but closes too early to be of any use as an after-hours meeting place. Nominally taking up this role recently has been Daeng's Bar, partly because they're willing to turn down the music when we arrive, partly because it's just respectable enough that Egghead will actually go their without complaint.

Now however we may finally have something closer to a real Songkhla HQ. The newly opened Bai Meang, on Sadao Rd. across the street from the governor's mansion, seems to offer everything we need all in one place: pleasant outdoor seating, good food (both Vietnamese and Rocky's Indian), and cold beer.
Professor Stick, thinking he has been called a "pea brain", fashions a carefully considered response.

And so several key members of the SH3 Brain Trust met last night to see if the new venue would pass muster. Our unanimous opinion was positive, with particular praise for the cheapness of the beer. Indeed, the only concern was that Bai Meang already seems to be attracting large numbers of that pale, subterranean species known as "English Teachers". But of course we can co-exist with them -- Egghead himself is living proof that the two poles of rude manly vigor and pencil-neck intellectual geekiness can co-exist within a single entity -- and we might even be able to exert a positive influence.
