Is the dark skinned Big Boi subverting an image of status when he stands proudly next to a luxury car (a favorite lyrical theme), or is he being co-opted by a society that creates another form of marginality, based on wealth instead of race? Given the favorable critical reception of his latest album, I will assume he addresses this issue to the satisfaction of critics, or else they merely like the sounds made by a clown in an aspirationally tall fedora.
But maybe it's a more complicated portrait. Big Boi's pose is undercut by his blank gaze, and further undercut by his small stature (5'6"?) next to the unusually high-sitting car. Did Big Boi intend for this? If so, then he is an artist. Did the editor or the photographer? Probably not, given their commercial endeavor and their use of a dated tactic that intends shock value by placing his large image next to the much smaller one of a white, blond model; a visual rhyme with the symbolic threat of this supposed intruder into the ranks of the elite.

Bruce will show up tonight at the Darlene Love gig - mark my words... He was a huge supporter of her for her bid for the Rock n' Roll HOF

5:57: Correction(s): It's the ghost of Carl Sagan and Dave Coulier, not Bob Saget.
And the full name of the tape is "Evolution In Him: Part 3 (Cut...it...ooouuuttt)".

One the one hand, this photo gets points for being in the 1920's pimp / speakeasy style of "Idlewild," but on the other hand, it looks like it was photoshopped.

Then again, you got to think Andre 3000's planning something in retaliation for all this Big Boi press, positive or not.

I'm going out tonight - I'm feelin' alright
Gonna let it all hang out
Wanna make some noise
Really raise my voice
Yeah, I wanna scream and shout
No inhibitions - make no conditions
Get a little outta line
I ain't gonna act politically correct
I only wanna have a good time
The best thing about being a woman
Is the prerogative
To have a little fun and...
Chorus:
Oh, oh, oh totally crazy
Forget I'm a lady
Men's shirt - short skirts
Oh, oh, oh really go wild - yeah
Doin' it in style
Oh, oh, oh get in the action - feel the attraction
Color my hair
Do what I dare
Oh, oh, oh I wanna be free
Yeah, to feel the way I feel
Man! I feel like a woman!
The girls need a break
Tonight we're gonna take
The chance to get out on the town
We don't need romance
We only wanna dance
We're gonna let our hair hang down
The best thing about being woman
Is the prerogative
To have a little fun and...
Oh, oh, oh totally crazy
Forget I'm a lady
Men's shirt - short skirts
Oh, oh, oh really go wild - yeah
Doin' it in style
Oh, oh, oh get in the action - feel the attraction
Color my hair
Do what I dare
Oh, oh, oh I wanna be free
Yeah, to feel the way I feel
Man! I feel like a woman!
The best thing about being woman
Is the prerogative
To have a little fun and...
Oh, oh, oh totally crazy
Forget I'm a lady
Men's shirt - short skirts
Oh, oh, oh really go wild - yeah
Doin' it in style
Oh, oh, oh get in the action - feel the attraction
Color my hair
Do what I dare
Oh, oh, oh I wanna be free
Yeah, to feel the way I feel
Man! I feel like a woman!
I get totally crazy
Can you feel it
Come, come, come on baby
I feel like a woman

O! say can you see by the dawn's early light,
What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming,
Whose broad stripes and bright stars through the perilous fight,
O'er the ramparts we watched, were so gallantly streaming?
And the rockets' red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there;
O! say does that star-spangled banner yet wave,
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?

In Thai, ‘pad’ means to stir-fry, and ‘kee mao’ means someone who likes to drink too much. ‘Kee’ literally means ‘shit’, and adding ‘kee’ in front of any verb means it’s a bad habit. ‘Mao’ means drunk. So, a ‘Kee Mao’ (shit drunk) is someone who has a bad habit of drinking! What this has to do with this dish, I’m not 100% sure. I’ve heard that this is a common drinking food, and also that it’s a good cure for a hangover. Your guess is as good as mine.
