Mr. and Mrs. Gonzales

Our neighbors to the south get a bum rap. Everyone's always talking about the U.S. this, the U.S. that. Why don't we think for a moment on all of the Mexican things that are being imported into our country that American's love:

(1) Ricky Martin
(2) J Lo
(3) The Yo Quiero Taco Bell Dog
(4) Elian Gonzales

Wait. Elian was from Cuba wasn't he? Oops. My bad. How about replacing Elian with Menudo? Oh wait, that's where Ricky Martin came from right? Ok, I've got it....Cinco De Mayo.

Anyway, all of these ?positive? influences and what do we have to give back to our southerly neighbors? American movies.

That's right folks, American movies. In fact, they are being played out right on the streets of Mexico City as we speak. Take for example, the story of a Mexican couple, attempting to reenact the movie Mr. & Mrs. Smith. In their excitement over the flick, both are now recovering from a marital spat that involved guns, throwing knives, and homemade bombs.

That's a lot of pent up anger.

Apparently, when questioned later by reporters, Juan Espinosa said he was glad his wife had suffered burns. Mrs. Contreras, in her best Lorena Bobbitt imitation, told reports that she was only sorry that she hadn't "hacked off his [Espinosa's] manhood" during the fight.

The marriage must be doomed to fail, since they're not willing to die for one another.

I learnt some Mexican off my girlfriend but she wouldn't tell me what it meant.

It was something like
"Chingu du madre, pendejo"
Excuse the spelling, Mexico is a long long way from me.

I thought that Ricky Martin was Puerto Rican? Interesting sidenote: Dinky is the name of the Taco Bell Pooch.

They should have stuck to the reenactment of Lambada: The Forbidden Dance. It would have been safer.

Ben's girlfriend must have been really impressed with his mother.

Am I having deja vu, or didn't you post about this already...I swear I said something about if it had been an American wife, she would've cut off his manhood first thing...

I need to go back to sleep.

Ricky Martin and J Lo are both Puerto Rican...they both do tourism commercials for the U.S. territory.

I think they are simply both strict constructionists, believing strongly in the "til death do us part" thing. They just want to move that along a bit.

The Puerto Ricans are going to be out for my blood. I'm hereby issuing an apology...that is, unless, they are not offended that I thought J Lo and Ricky Martin are Mexican...

Ben: Sometimes its better not to know.

Fuzz: Dinky also would've been the name of the man if his wife had been successful in her attempts to "bobbit" him.

Phoenix: Deja vu is a just a glitch in the matrix. Maybe someone else beat me to the scoop...this story was from a few days ago.

DA: Always the optimistic one, aren't you david?

It sounds like they flunked out of mercenary school :)

Of course, this couple didn't succeed in their efforts because they needed to take a siesta before they could finish the job. Either that, or one of them was making a run toward the US border...

It never ceases to amaze me...you have, hands down, the longest word verification process I've ever seen in my life. Never less than 12 characters :)

To check out the truth behind Siren's comment--and to give you your largest comment count yet--I am looking to see if I can beat her word verification string.

I cannot. I only got this: jmxynbjb

Damn. Another case of a beauty triumphing over a beast.

Bruce: How could I forget? Any trip to Mexico and The Antidote (my hubby) brings back that little treat.

Phoenix: Just make sure you don't connect those wires to the wrong ports or !BAM!

Siren: I'm guess this wasn't their final exam. As for the word verification...it's all for you babe.

DA -- you know I love you, don't you? :-) HA HA HA HA
