Jack Corbett Russian Pole Dancing Competition, Russians tip Jack

This Jack Corbett Russian Pole Dancing Competition was to be a pole dancing competition but the Russians tipped Jack instead of competing. I confess that I am performing a secret mission as a freelance secret agent.  Which is to make you, my fellow Americans like Russians.  Which makes me an enemy of the American State for allowing myself to fall into enemy hands.

The Russians bribed me with this fine bottle of premium Russian vodka to like them and to tell my fellow Americans that most of these Russians are actually good guys.

You might also want to watch “Jack Takes on the U.S. Marines in pole dancing.”

American Marines buy me a drink for the pole dancing show.

And I am using Social Media to do it.   Yeah, I know, I know.

According to the New York Times I’m going to go down as an unwitting dupe of the Russians.  And I’m thankful for that.

So here’s how we pulled off that Jack Corbett Russian Pole Dancing Competition.  It all started at TG Bar here in Pattaya just off Naklua Soi 18.  There’s a troupe of young Thai guys break dancing only a few meters away. And those boys are pretty good.  Then out of nowhere a white guy joins them.  He’s around forty or so.  He’s not nearly so good as the young Thai experts but this guy’s got some balls.  And his performance isn’t half bad.

I watch the falang join his table of loyal supporters.  Then I go up to the group to congratulate the man for being so game as to take on a group of young men half his ages.

Turns out the group are Russians.  There’s two women and four or five men,  all drinking together and having a grand ole time.

They all smile at me when I tell them I’m American.  So I tell them all, that I’ll take on their best pole dancer.  After they agree, I give my cell phone to the bar owner (she’s a Thai woman married to a German).  I’ve known both of them for 12 years. The lady tells me to wait a bit because she’s going to have some special music played for me.

But no one takes me on in in this Jack Corbett Russian Pole Dancing Competition.   But several of the Russian men are tipping me.

Playing a long with my little gig.  Hey, I mean when I do these pole dances the Germans cheer me on.  So they are good sports.  But the Japanese and Koreans look away as it this is all not very cool.  But the Russians?  They go all the way.  In fact the best pole dancer I’ve seen for quite a while was a young Russian guy who pole danced at the Crazy House Go Go bar.  The guy was just a much younger version of my self years ago.

Well let me tell you, these Russians are great sports.  I soon join them at their table where they pour me some wine.

Now I hate to tell all you Americans who want to think the worse of Russians.  But this little group of men and women are showing a lot of affection to each other.

And I don’t mean this in a bad way.  Obviously these are all close friends and they genuinely like each other.  Their behavior towards each other is incredibly warm.

And so it is in my condo building where I’m chairman of the committee that runs the place.  My condo’s on the 2nd floor but Anatoly’s on the 3rd floor.  Yesterday he just got back to Pattaya from Russia.  So now I must confess to my taking a bribe.

And…New Year’s Eve 2018  at Wongamat Beach Thailand

YouTube bans cockfighting video

YouTube bans cockfighting video so you aren’t going to see this short action packed video there but you can see it now thanks to Alpha Productions.

YouTube bans cockfighting video

Shooting as close as three feet from the fighting cocks I was able to get some outstanding action that most people never get to see. Some do gooders might call my video to be glorification of animal cruelty. But I assure you that it’s not. No more than the boxing I did in college. I reveled in it. It’s a male thing. To have an opponent puncture my ear drum during a street fight when I wasn’t looking. And taking him down. This is the kind of thing a lot of us males love doing. So the roosters are no different from many of us.

Now I’m not about to knock most of these these animal rights activists.  But I will call the cretins who reported me to YouTube complete imbeciles.

The original YouTube video I produced was utterly fantastic.  And for the following reasons.  1.  I got up real close to the fighting cocks, oftentimes just 2 or 3 feet away.  2.  This video is totally authentic.  I took it in a northern Thailand village.  And this is what some of these people do.  They pit their prized roosters against a neighbor’s.  They do this for fun.  And sometimes they gamble on the outcome.

3.  No animal was seriously hurt while I was shooting this video.  A few bruises.  A few missing feathers being strewn about.  And a few minor cuts, but that’s it.  The villagers did not put spurs on the roosters in this video.  And if the roosters started really hurting each other the villagers would separate them.

My headline reads YouTube bans cockfighting video

And the reason is I wanted to call attention to how really stupid many people are.  I also want to drive home the point that the YouTube censors usually side with such idiots.

So YouTube bans cockfighting video of mine?  So what.  I just put it on my Alpha Productions web site and it will stream just as well as it does on YouTube.

In another article I described how the music companies were completely destroying the ambiance around us by forcing night clubs and bars to eliminate all background music that’s been copyrighted.  Unless they pay extortionist fees to these greedy music companies.  In Thailand we end up having to listen to Da Da music.  We must listen to this horrid noise in most of the go go bars we visit.  In the beer bars also.  And I even have to listen to this crap while exercising at the expensive fitness center I pay over $1500 a year to.

Thankfully I bring my own usb with my own music on it.  Which I insert into the elliptical machine and exercise like hell in my own musical paradise of copyrighted music.  Here at Alpha Productions we are now free to publish whatever we want.  Regardless of how goodie two shoes censors feel about it.  This includes the finest streaming video we can produce.

LX7 Panasonic vs Nikon D750 for low light video

LX7 Panasonic vs Nikon D750 for low light video.  You be the judge. Here’s a pair of videos I shot at the Pattaya Siam Siam night club.

LX7 Panasonic vs Nikon D750 for low light video

I shot this video with the Nikon D750 using the Nikon 17-35 mm 2.8 lens.

While shooting the video with the Nikon D750 I got this picture. There is nothing like using a professional SLR camera when you are using the best lenses. The Nikon 17 by 35 mm 2.8 lens is one of the finest pro lens ever built as this picture attests. The question is, Will my Nikon D750 deliver when it comes to low light video? Until tonight, automatic focusing issues have kept this camera from delivering on its promise.

There’s nothing like using completely professional equipment.  Canon’s just as good as Nikon.  But I got started with Nikon and I already had a pair of Nikon’s finest and most expensive lenses–a Nikon 28-70 2.8 and its sister lens, a Nikon 17-35 mm wide angle 2.8.  From everything I’ve ever read nothing out there tops these two lenses, but they are both god awful heavy and cost big bucks.

I’ve shot video in restaurants down on the beach and in bars with my Nikon, and I’ve practiced for days on end in my condo trying to get the automatic focus to work right.  The cameras got a mirror and I’ve been informed by people who are supposed to be in the know that SLRs like mine will not do a good job on automatic focus at night. But My Panasonic Lx7 has no such problems.  It works like a dream.
