On Company Time
Freddy from Honduras said of his work mates, two are from Guatemala, and two from Bolivia. Any Salvadorans? I asked. No, Freddy grimaced. No te gusta Salvador? I asked. No, Freddy said. Porque? I asked. Because they kill women and children, he said. Cuando, I asked. Setena y siete, setenta y ocho, he said. Oh, si, recuerdo, I said, remembering back to my college months in Austin and all the love everyone was feeling for Daniel Ortega. Freddy is from the state of Limpira, which borders El Salvador. He is only twenty-five so he is carrying on a hatred handed down by his older relatives. Freddy said a nice house can be got in Honduras for $7,000. I paid $22,000 for my house in New Orleans. It was a fixer-upper.
I was talking to one of the Guatemalans around lunchtime yesterday. It was his birthday. He asked me to take him a la tienda. So I did and he got him two packs of Marlboro lights and a drink. He bought me a large Heinekin. Earlier he had asked me what I smoked and I showed him and he said, oh, Camel. I smoke Marlboro light, girly cigarette, but Camel for man (I tried to show him that my Camels were lights too but he didn't get it). Yes, I said, lowering my voice and puffing out my chest, and hacking up a hairball.
I want to now shine a brief light on the Marshall office of VDOT which has some good men and women working for it and some with rather antiquated racial attitudes towards its African-American workers. I will spare you the details because I would hate to taint a burgeoning lawsuit. But it seems they have a lot of fun down there with their workers, and even Anglo on Anglo gags are rife with hilarity. Workers have been known to duct tape weaker workers into submission and then sit on their chests and wag penises in their faces. So if you live in Virginia and pay taxes you might make a note on your next tax bill that you would prefer your money not go to projects that would include penis-wagging on company time. Unless that is something you do support. I am not here to make judgments.
a) why is he smoking marlboro lights if he thinks theyre girly? which they are.
b why is he smoking marlboro lights if he thinks theyre girly (which they are)?
c) why is he smoking marlboro lights if he thinks theyre girly, which they are?
d) no, this way. dumbass.
e) ducttaping, ok, but penis-wagging? is this a popular pasttime in central america as well, or is this behavior reserved for civilized nations such as ourselves?
The Guatemalan, refreshingly, I think, is not afraid of his inner femininity, and can smoke his Marlboro lights, admit that they are girly, and still come out as all man.
I do not have much good mastery of the Spanish language to inquire if the all-American behavior to which I refer, is also done in Central America. I think you will agree that when a foreign man has jokingly admitted to a girly behaviour, that you don't want to segue into a possibly misunderstood reference which includes penis-wagging.
right. how much cigs cost in va? not judging, just asking.
do you have enough mastery of the english language to tell me which construction above, if any, is correct?
but i agree with your original insinuation that all light cigarettes are girly, just some are more girly than others.
i vowed never to smoke lights and im proud to say i never did. be sure the multitudes are made aware of this fact through song or verse should i meet an untimely death. (how many deaths are timely exactly?)
Just under 4 bucks a pack.
Have not nor desire English language mastery but of your three, or four, choices, I prefer (a). And (d) as second choice.
He was a man, a real man, who smoked himself to death.
Never a light smoker, never smoking lights.
He was a man, a real man, who smoked himself to death.
He was a man, a real man, flew higher than the kites.
what a man what a smoker
what a 30 second hold toker was he...
You got more pictures of N.O. ?
I think I have a few more pics hidden somewhere. And regarding Liuzza's, I sure will let you and Ms. Blagueur feed me next time I am down. Thanks.
