You Know It's A Mexican Kids Birthday Party When...


1. Some of the guests didn't bring a gift - but brought extra
uninvited kids.


2. The party is separated into women cooking, men drinking

and kids playing.


3. The party is at Chuck E. Cheese but they brought their own
food, cake and a Piñata.

4. It's a child's party, but there are more grown ups than
children.



5. It's Mijo's 1st birthday and the party food is carne asada,
arroz, frijoles and 10 cases of beer.



6. For entertainment, instead of playing pin the tail on the
donkey, there is usually a televised baseball or futbol

game, or a live fight.



7. The party was supposed to be over at 5pm, but its 7:30pm

and the party is just starting.



8. The host calls someone who's on their way and tells them to

stop and get some tortillas and ice.

9. You hear someone go up to the birthday child and say,
"Mira, que lindo. I'm going to have to get you something
next week when I get paid."



10. The party is Saturday, and you get a call from the hostess
Friday saying, "I'm giving Mijo a birthday party tomorrow
at 3pm"



11. Some guest brings gifts that are still in the Wal-Mart bag.



12. The cake didn't come from the store; it came from the
mother of the comadre of your best friend's sister who
makes really good cakes.



13. You are told you have to save your plate and fork you ate
your food with, so you can eat your cake.



14. Guests automatically wrap up a plate of food and cake to

take home.


15. It's Mijo's birthday, but since his cousin Maria is there
and her birthday is in a few days, it becomes Mijo's
and Maria's party.

SEND THIS TO 7 MEXICANS.
HECK, THERE'S NO SUCH THING
AS "JUST 7" MEXICANS!
SEND THIS TO THE WHOLE FAMILIA!

Let me guess,you're Mexican. I'm laughing my butt off. BTW,you're right. I'm turning in my Red Ryder badge. It was Robert Blake who played Little Beaver

[kikibalt]

I'm a Chicano, and yes, Robert Blake played Little Beaver, there were some other that also played that character, but the best known was Blake, I have 4 of the Red Ryder movies, when I want to feel like a kid, I put a R.R movie on the DVD player and play cowboy.

I thought some of you might enjoy this definition of "political correctness:"

'Political Correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical, liberal minority and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.'

You know a fighter as made it in Mexico when you can go to just about every bar and see a picture of the fighter posing with every "hanger on" in the joint. Tijuana has quite a collection of photographs of fighters and former pugilists in the numerous watering holes in town. To be seen with a fighter is something a lot men attatch to their manhood . I might seem a little critical here,but I say this only because many of these fighters' pals aren't concerned with keeping their boxing idols in tip top shape. Free booze. Free drugs. Free women. Free Mariachis. All these "Free" things I've mentioned aren't condusive to keeping a fighter sharp. However,notice I didn't mention free money. The fighter is usually the one "flashing" his bankroll. All very macho stuff until the fighter begins to lose. The fighter on the way out will know who his friends are when he is down to nothing. If he's lucky,he still has his family with him.

When I was working across the border,Jibaro Perez was very popular in town. He won a championship,married his manager's daughter,but it all went to his head. The kid couldn't sign his name,but he wouldn't listen to good advice. Maybe he couldn't stand being on top of the world. He wanted to fall to the bottom and be with company. He was out all night,wouldn't go to the gym,and spent his money on anything that was self gratifying. Like many young "meteors" in Mexico,his demise was as rapid as his climb to the top. However when he fell to the bottom, all the "noise" stopped. Latinos forget a fallen hero fast. Only later ,with time, are their names resurrected with admiration. They're the topics of stories in the cantinas where their pictures are hanging on the wall. All is forgiven. But the storytellers(the guys in the pictures with the fighters)wanted to have a good time. That would have meant going home early and abstaining from the many temptations of the street. But a fighter in Mexico should know better. No one in Mexico,a poor country,is going to have much sympathy for a fighter that "blows it."

Boxing is a dangerous sport. But in Mexico it is more than the physical dangers.
