All the more easy to find us! I wonder if all those pinpoint flags on the map will draw some kind of image? Shocked

I don't post much because i'm a dumbass newbie and a bit of a leftist so conflict is common to my conservations. Anyways I'll add myself to pretend to be part of the ESL Cafe LA crew here in The tropics of Hamilton, Ontario.

Hey, I'm a dumbass veteran and a bit of a leftist too, with a penchant for conflict. Join in the fracass anytime. Remember though, newbies always buy the first round of drinks.

Awesome idea, MELEE! I'm going to suggest this to my grad school classmates too (since we all studied international relations, everyone scattered all over the globe after we finished).

Ok, so I'm a newbie. But first round of drinks? While the Peruvian government keeps bleeding me dry? Come, cut another hardcore leftie a little slack. Unless you want cheap beer, I can handle that

I'll cut you a little slack when you peg your flag on that map up there. I wanna see if a picture of of something appears when I play connect the dots later.

I'm up there, the one guy in Lima. I'm not too sure about the picutre thing though, I was hoping the same as you, but it doesn't seem like it's gonna happen. all those guys in Canada mess it up.....hahaha.
Seriously, A question though. I haven't been to the DF since 1993. Can you still go to Polquerias, or are they all shot up by gangsters?

Giant, man-eating rats ate all the gansters, so, one can freely enjoy the pulquerias again! Laughing

Just kidding. Where are these pulquerias in DF? I don't frequent them as you can see. I specialize in porquerias. Laughing

Porquerias ARE a lot of fun, although if you ask me the question in front of my wife, I'll deny to the end of time. Polquerias are these little crappy bars which exclusively serve Polque (my spelling is great, huh?), the milky fermented cactus drink. There aren't too many in the Zona Rosa, what with polque being the cheapest drink you can find, but I think I remember there being a couple by Xochimilco. As for the rats, maybe we can do a llama-man eating rat exchange program to clean up the streets of Lima.............I'm tired of going out without my ATM card
