Computer jargon in Espanol? Pas.

I was a bit of a screw up in HS. Spanish class was my haven to screw around considering it was the class after lunch and we usually left campus for lunch. However, I think I learned what I need to in the event that it's ever needed.

Yo tengo no dinero
No hablo Espanol
Me gusta el queso
Otra cerveca
Bano por forvor
Donde estan las mujeres blancas
Donde puedo comprar marihuana

I still know a few other phrases, about how hot is, and how to order food and what not....and then, then there's this gem.

Si esto va a ser ese tipo de fiesta, voy a meter mi polla en el puré de papas

Quite not as funny today as it was back in HS during the age of the Beastie Boys. I'm sure people would think I'm crazy for this 25 years later.

You guys let me know when you want to go to Mexico and party.

Too funny.
I had a similar thought the other day - phrases I'd need in a spanish speaking city, so here are my additions:

- where's the bathroom?
- do you have cocaine? what about prostitutes?

(ask Siri 'how do you say 'cocaine' in spanish?' 'how do you say 'prostitute' in spanish?' etc
i'm still immature to giggle

That's why I married a Mexican wife. I know enough to know if she translated correctly. . . Screw all this verb conjugation shit.

…is there an irony to being a race car driver? It seems like an amazing job but I feel after a hard day's work at the F1 circuit, any road car he drives would be like ordinary folks going from a car to a school bus, doesn't matter if he owns a Ferrari or other exotic (they'd lessen the gap, but still). I'd imagine the race driver would be kinda bored driving on the roads or at least less excited than the rest of us.

More like scared crap-less driving against street drivers, because you DON'T know what stupid thing most of them will do!!!!!

Trudat, going from a race full of fellow pros to a crazy mishmash of varying 'skill' levels in the wild, i.e. open roads.

I distinctly remember an old article this news guy was anticipating riding w a race driver on the road and expecting him to drive like a speed demon but when they started moving he was shocked the pro was just driving smoothly and safely. Good drivers all know this and it's only the idiots w something to prove who drive recklessly on the streets.

F1 gives you one type of feel and experience, any other cars has different feel and experience. I am sure that they are happy experiencing other things than a loud, hot, jerky F1 car that wants to do only one thing: kill you!

I wonder if they asked this question, they must've somewhere, I really want to know what they think, are they bored or is it still a new/exciting experience to drive road cars?

how the hell French food became the benchmark for the culinary world. I mean snails, frogs and aspic are not the most apetizing things on face value. LoL

Because it tastes amazing... but Aspic is yuk.
And we French look beyond face value

I love English food, especially English breakfast.

Why do people dig their ears out with keys?

They are normal people with a lot of $$$.

My guess is that after F1, you are happy to drive something more civilized.
Race cars aren't built for comfort.

Because their fingers are too big. You can dig deeper with keys I guess.
And.. ewwww gross.

Good read. I still wanna get into their psyches. They definitely can afford the best rides.

Because they didn't see UncleWede's post from Tuesday about the mother-of-all ear cleaner tools?

P.S. My Amazon order for them is out for delivery as I write this.....
