Miki 1. The use of the words "madre" can be
used in so many variations. For example, something is "a toda
madre" or "poca madre" : very cool. If something is fucked
up, it is a "desmadre" or "puta madre." D'ya see where I'm
going?
2. Well, the word "chingar" has been written about
as integral to Mexican culture - Paz and Fuentes have discussed
this at length. It comes from Malinche who was the first "chingada"
or fucked one and gave birth to the mixed race of Mexico.
"Chinga su madre," "Chingadera," "Chingado", etc.!!
3. El Chapolin Colorado - a stupidly absurd funny
comedian on television who appeals to children as well as
adults.
4. Day of the Dead - this festivity is still practiced
throughout Mexico (but more in the southern region) and now
attracts tourists from all over.
5. Frida Kahlo - she's the subject of a Hollywood
movie w/Salma Hayek - need I say more?
6. Mexican hairless dogs - esquincles - once raised
to be eaten by the Aztecs, this is the true Mexican canine
- as opposed to the Taco Bell Chihuahua.
7. Fake silver jewelry - sold all throughout Mexico
as the real deal - of course its all bad and will turn green
in a week.
8. "Siempre en Domingo" - now cancelled - a great
show that hosted pop stars from Mexico and abroad. The format
is now replaced by many imitators.
9. Tequila - always a good reposado from Jalisco will
get any Mexican in a good mood.
10. The UsofA - this is a source of constant love
and hate for the Mexican people. They feed from it and spit
it out with a whole different taste!
Last question. Are chupacabras the real deal?
Miki Well, if Mulder and Scully are out looking for
the chupacabra, it has to be true? Actually, I think I once
saw him crossing the river....
