Zarate wasn't, close though, Gomez was a featherweight of the jr. variety!

Add Jose Torres and Clemente Sanchez to the list. Jose's brother Sal wasn't too shabby of a banger either.

Man I was wondering where you were Dj Qualls.
Anyway Gomez definitely was a bomber.

Thanks guys!
Tantum---I use a hoodoo reverse-curse that I picked up in Haiti many years ago! It nullifies any bad juju sent my way!

Aww shit man, that ruins my fun...
Guess I better finish making my Broncano voodoo doll.

To make the "juju" more powerful and almost impossible to counter you need to toss in four pinchings of grave-dust, not the typical three pinching, but if you want to make the curse invincible to other magics you have to double-up on all the ingredients of the "original" curse that is shown in "Voodoo 101: The Experienced Juju Artist." Of course it is just semantics, but some people prefer grounded-up crocodile teeth as opposed to grounded-up alligator...I guess it all depends on what country you live in.

Baz, I'll take that as a yes then.
For those not in the know ...... I had a word with Shep who gave Baz a temporary ban from this forum. He's now back on a behaviour warning.
