...only if you are a Spanish invader, living in the year 1520.

They're always digging up fun stuff in the hills.

Aw, Guy.... No fair!
We haven't had a good stoush on here for ages, and I was hoping for a little posting war about racism, imperialism and various old chestnuts I like to drag out from time to time and then you go defending the man!
No fun! 
I've still got 2 more weeks of recuperation to get through, what am I gonna do now?????  |

just for the record i'm happy the spanish colonizers are dead too. wouldn't do to have centuries-old maniacs running the place still. much prefer the modern maniacs.
guy, are you refering to my bad experience with a transvestite at a mariachi bar? that's one emotional trauma that has morphed into a rosy memory i hope to share with my grandchildren. |
