RETIRED. BERNARD TRINK, 72, revered and reviled newspaperman whose "Night Owl" column extolled for nearly four decades the sybaritic pleasures available to expatriate men in Thailand's capital; in Bangkok. The Brooklyn-born Trink covered the city's go-go bars, massage parlors and pubs, making the rounds with his Thai wife in tow, owl medallion around his neck and maroon polyester pants hitched up to his chest.

He spent 13 years at Enron's law firm, Vinson & Elkins, doing deals in the go-go Houston of the 1980s but before the controversial Enron transactions took place.

...undervalued method of sneaking up on “crab-cakes,” and by “crab-cakes” I mean the “melon center.” All the most intriguing honeys respect independence, and nothing says independence like roasting a Go-Go Beef Taquito by your lonesome on a Wednesday night. Set-up shop at the coffee-maker, slurp down Cup-a-Noodle after Cup-a-Noodle, start every sentence with, “My penis feels so…” and prepare for the Big Gulp hour...
