Us Chicanos, when we drink and get a little drunk turn into lovers.
We leave the fighting to the women....

Hey Frank
Think of all the Mexicans you know that drink. That's a whole lot of lovin' goin' on.

Yes, and thats why we're call f#cking Mexicans.....

I thought it meant you guys were all Latin lovers?

Stop and think about it. No God? Well whoever invented the female species,gets my vote for motivational leader and social director of the planet. Girls are soft. They walk moving their butts in a sexy way they aren't even aware of half the time. their voices are sweet and high. They have those two areas on their chests that a new born baby goes for as soon as he's out of the hopper.And when you're doin' it ,you know there's no backing out.

Funny how females can't understand why we want sex so much. Testosterone is a powerfull hormone.Fightin' and F#ckin'.

A road in Paderones ,Michoacan



My wife with her cousin Cruz. My wife is 65. Her cousin 64. Life on the ranch is hard,but these people are happy. Take life as it comes. A life centered around family and religion.



My grandkids and nieces and nephews playing the way kids should play. Outside,fresh air,riding horses. I would watch these kids and a smile would come to my face. Notice how they are there for each other. No spoiled brats in this town. Paderones.

Oscar De La Hoya wants to know final opponent soon

The boxer says he wants it to be finalized by next week; whether the opponent will be Manny Pacquiao remains unclear.

By Dan Arritt, Los Angeles Times Staff Writer

Oscar De La Hoya said today he wants to finalize within a week his opponent for his last fight.

"I want to have it done by next week, absolutely," De La Hoya said at his annual charity golf tournament at Lakeside Golf Club in Burbank.

Last week, representatives for De La Hoya and Pacquiao broke off negotiations for a Dec. 6 fight at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas because they could not agree on the split of the purse.

De La Hoya, who said he would retire after his next fight, and Pacquiao had agreed to fight at the welterweight limit of 147 pounds and with eight-ounce gloves, but Pacquiao scoffed at De La Hoya's offer of a 30% share of the purse. Pacquiao is seeking 40%, according to his promoter, Bob Arum of Top Rank Boxing.

Richard Schaefer, chief executive of De La Hoya's Golden Boy Promotions, said that he had not spoken with Pacquiao's representatives since talks broke off but had heard that the Filipino fighter was interested in returning to the negotiating table.

"He sort of realized that 30% of the big pie is better than 100% of the small pie," Schaefer said of Pacquiao.

However, Arum said he spoke with Pacquiao this morning and the WBC lightweight champion remained adamant about receiving more than a 30% share of the purse if he fights De La Hoya.

"There's still the possibility of meeting somewhere in the middle," Arum said.

De La Hoya, 35, last fought in March at 150 pounds, his lightest weight since beating Arturo Gatti at 147 pounds in March 2001. Pacquiao, 29, had moved up to the 135-pound division in June, taking the lightweight title from David Diaz with a ninth-round knockout at Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas.

"I'm already down to 149-150 [pounds]," De La Hoya said. "I'm just waiting patiently."

In addition to Pacquiao, the other front runner to fight De La Hoya is Sergio Mora, Schaefer said.

Mora, who like De La Hoya is an East Los Angeles native, will defend his WBC super-welterweight title Sept. 13 in Las Vegas against Vernon Forrest, whom he upset in June to win the title.

Pacquiao might seem to have the edge in getting a match against De La Hoya because Mora still has a fight on his schedule. De La Hoya, however, said the outcome of that bout shouldn't be a deal breaker.

"I fought several times where I already had my next opponent lined up," he said. "Anything is possible."

i take an oath on my kids. I think about you, and say Frank Baltazar would have the time of his life down here. Forget the language part. These people are like you and your family. Down to Earth,non judgemental nor critical. A place that didn't take to the fast pace of how much of the world has fallen into. I hate to say this,but the people without many of the modern conveniences,the people who live and were born on the ranchos, are beautifull. Anything they have and they know you want,they'll give it to you. When we went to that restaurant in Jalisco,we accidently met up with my wife's niece,Esperanza. Our two families were the only ones there. The little restaurant was isolated in the mountains. The family who owned it lived in the back with their kids. Our families kids were playing with their kids after eating while we relaxed drinking and telling stories. After the evening was over,my nieces family wouldn't let me reach for my wallet. Of course I protested,but they wouldn't think of me paying. Finally I said,"How about another bottle of tequila?" That was OK. We stayed drinking and talking until midnight. All the time the kids were in the back playing.

I like that story Dagos.
The way it would go down for the Irish guy would be,( and Ive seen this),
The Turkey would be in the Tavern with half a snoot full yucking it up with his pals when the bartender gives him the phone.The wife is on the line.She is pissed and giving it to him good".Where the hell are you?You said you were coming home right after work and not drinkin with those freakin bums you call friends".
Well , after a little while of this, the Mick starts screamin into the phone at her . Really puttin on a show for the boys. He dont take no shit from the old lady.
Problem is, hes screamin at a dial tone.

Hey Pug

Remember that cartoon strip "Andy Capp?" Andy would always be sleeping on the couch with his face to the back of the sofa with his shoes off and just the socks left on. Everyday him and the wife at the pub with the half full glass of beer.

Hey buddy. I just thought of somethin'. This will make you laugh. One night when I was on vacation way down in Mexaco,I was driving through this terrible thunder storm. I got the radio on and the wiper blades on after burners.

Well I ain't getting nothing on the radio. I keep hitting the "scan" button and all it keeps doing is the numbers going around in a circle. Finally after a few minutes of nothing,it stops on a station. I could barely make it out,but it was music. Fading in and out and staticy. But it cleared a little. I swear, it was a band playing Irish Jigs. I burst out laughin'. I thought about you right away. How did you find me?

Well , its my Uncle John.
Hes been following you guys around for a couple months now.
Hes made a couple apperances in this thread.

Erroll Flynn played Gentleman Jim in that movie, but I think Billy Conn did the footwork scenes.
If you remember they kept showing Jims feet when he was fighting.
Of course I could be imagining all this .
I think some of them knuckle sandwiches are starting to catch up with me.
