$1.776 billion

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

God this would be such an amazing movie

Mulan (2020)

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

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

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.

[–] quick_snail@feddit.nl 5 points 5 hours ago

I think the cosplay was the reason

[–] homes@piefed.world 43 points 10 hours ago (2 children)

No way. This picture alone was worth it.

[–] stephen@lazysoci.al 14 points 10 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 9 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 3 hours ago (1 children)

It really pulled the whole look together :(.

Maybe the pics just aren't free.

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

Can you lend me a few bot?

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

Man, I fucking miss Brooklyn

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

[–] homes@piefed.world 4 points 9 hours ago

Thai-grade meth pills? You know it!

[–] CapuccinoCoretto@lemmy.world 17 points 10 hours ago

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

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

[–] Xenny@lemmy.world 1 points 2 hours ago

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

[–] Pat_Riot@lemmy.today 10 points 9 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 9 hours ago

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

[–] Evil_Shrubbery@thelemmy.club 9 points 10 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.

[–] favoredponcho@lemmy.zip 3 points 8 hours ago

Thailand is the home of the ladyboy

[–] Evil_Shrubbery@thelemmy.club 8 points 10 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!

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