That should be simple enough:

1. Board a plane to Suvarnabhumi Airport, Bangkok, Thailand. If flying from North America, recommend flying through Narita, Japan so you can get some legit sushi rolls during the layover.

2. Haggle with the meter taxi’s in front of the airport. DO NOT pay more than meter price (<500 THB), +50 THB for the airport-fee. It’s sort of like feeding the animals; they will get used to it and demand it all the damn time from those of us who live and work here. :\

3. Tell the driver to take you to the American Embassy.

4. Once you arrive (make sure it is during office hours…) tell the Thai guards and/or police force that you are there to meet with me about comic-books.

5. When they get confused and start to question your true purpose, quickly depart and head to Nana on Sukhumvitt, Soi 4. Message me on the forums, and start drinking while you wait. (NOTE: Several women will attempt to hit on you!!!! If you are not into that sort of thing, just let them know or they will continue endlessly…)

6. Get sloshed, so that once I arrive and tell you that I just picked-up a copy of Magnus #0, you will thing that I AM MAGNUS, and then we’ll go on an adventure destroying (what we believe to be…) robots and get deported back to the states.

Or…

I could just take a few more pics and post them. :D

I like the ASM. A great opportunity to own an amazing run (pun intended).

Your numbered list is EXACTLY the plot to Hangover 2. More or less.

Lol, most of the scenes from that movie were filmed less than a mile from my place. Often when we have U.S. aircraft land for various reasons, they will request to stay in the same hotel where the DEA captured Mr. Chow in the movie (at the Lebua's Sirocco restaurant).

If I were you, Burrito Boy, I'd choose option 1. Sounds like a lot more fun.
