Ask An Obscure Question.

wishfire and I were just discussing this morning...

What's up with liquor making techniques? I mean, did Mexicans just point at a buries cactus 3 times the size of a man and say, "Simon compadre! Let's make some fire-water out of it!"?

What the fuck?

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Why aren't you crackers answer my question?

How ya doing, buddy?

I mean, look at it! How could that look tasty?

Chances are that the cold weather made the fishermen go into a state of hallucinatory mind arrest and during that time they up and said, "SVEN! Let's eat that motherfucker. YA?" Either way, I'm glad Sven and his crew did think it was tasty because... Well shit, have you ever had one?

Holy shit, this is a long story. This is actually a matter of debate amongst us beaners, but if you read some hispanic literature, you kind of get the real gist of it.

It's a common misconception that Mexicans are known as "wetbacks" because when we illegally crossed over to the states it's pretty common to have to cross the Rio Grande. If you gotta swim across, it's only a given that you're going to be wet all over, hence the term "wet-back". This is false.

The real origin of the term is actually rooted in the "Bracero Program". It was really a massive roundup of what even then-program director Lee Williams called "legalized slavery" Mexican laborers were allowed to come to the States and labored 12-hour days in apalling conditions which often involved high weather temperatures. Since a lot of the labor was vegetable picking, the laborers sweat would make their backs wet. Hence the term "wetback". The program was finally halted in 1964 but because of reports of human rights abuses. The program was, by and large, a fucking failure.

In order to "repatriate" the workers to their homeland, Immigration and Naturalization Services began what they called (using what had by then become a derogatory term) "Operation Wetback" and rounded up all the Mexican laborers and deported them. Not all of the laborers were repatriated though and that's pretty much how a lot of my family is here.

Question holds fatal fallacy. Restart and hold F8 to in Safe Mode.

I was speaking idiomatically.

How about nothing?

Shit man... Questions don't get more obscure than that. Good job.

OK... I have a serious question. My boss keeps a book of matches in the building's restroom at work and he insists that lighting one after you drop your load completely removes the smell from the latrine... Am I the only one who thinks he's batshit insane?

FELIPE NO
