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.

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

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

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.

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

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 pts · 108d

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

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.

No way. This picture alone was worth it.

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.

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 pts · 108d (3 replies)

It really pulled the whole look together :(.

Maybe the pics just aren't free.

Can you lend me a few bot?

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.)

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

Thai-grade meth pills? You know it!

quick_snail@feddit.nl · 6 pts · 108d

I think the cosplay was the reason

CapuccinoCoretto@lemmy.world · 19 pts · 108d

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

Evil_Shrubbery@thelemmy.club · 10 pts · 108d

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!

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

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

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

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

Apparently, the picture was fake.
