Um, can I send you a couple of swabs to rub in your cheeks before I send “my” sample in for the discount?..

If they “Trump Hard”, I would have thought that any link to the name “Gutierrez” would have them panicking pretty hard already…

Of course Ireland has the best airline name ever: - Aer Lingus sounds pornographic no matter how many times I hear it.
If only they had the navigable waterways of some regions.
We could book passage on Canáil Lingus.

What about NASCAR?!
They made a heel turn in 2015. But if you look at who their kids married now you’d think a majority of spouses were picked out of spite or as karma.

That must be why we’re losing
Maybe for the return flight?
I know! This one has made me titter like a pre-teen for years.
I can’t remember who said it… Vonnegut probably, but:
“There are two kinds of people in the world; those who believe there are two kinds of people in the world and those who know better.”
Or something to that effect. And on and on.

I know a surprising number of Southern Californians who have not visited Mexico or even Baja. People get the idea that Tijuana (or worse yet Calimex) is representative of Mexico – all of our “ports of entry” are horrible, mad max style, shit shows of cities – as soon as you get out of them things things are pretty much down right California with slightly different street signs. This is as much by US design as Mexico.
Nobody really fucking lives in Barstow either, its a truckstop on the freeway. Calimex is Barstow with barbed wire, but big box stores.
I have had a pretty awesome burrito at the truck stop in Otay Mesa? (Also Shalom Burrito in Tecate is a win.)
All your major chain stores and restaurants are in the bigger cities and towns. Most of them remind me of a slightly safer and less homeless populated Los Angeles – their building code and environmental safety stuff may not be ours, but we have homeless encampments you can’t believe in LA now.
Tecate reminds me of THE SAN FERNANDO VALLEY late 80s, early 90s – except its a bit nicer. Ensenada is a really poorly traffic planned San Diego. Puerto Vallarta is Los Angeles/San Pedro.
Californians do not go there.

Heh,
Same thing with the Japanese side of my family. Everyone but one cousin married someone who wasn’t Japanese. But I always attributed that to my parents having broken the family in to that in the last generation. Grandparents were actually really cool with it after meeting my dad. We only had one uncle who was a dick about it (and it’s one of his kids who stuck with the “only Japanese” theme…). The rest of us are a bunch of happy miscegenating mutants

The preferred term is MAGATs
Aeromexico needs its own Olympic Trolling team. They are truly world-class.
