Oso: Thanks for the shout-out. Good to hear you’ve pulled back from the brink of eternity—your bout of intestinal whatever sounded nasty—and glad to hear the issue arrived intact, despite Fodor’s dire warnings about the unreliability of the Mexican postal system. Best, M. Dery

Gustavo,

Sorry bro, pig throat’s not for me.

EMC,

I completely agree. Which is why I’m amazed that my girl is no fan of The Clash even though she loves all the typical bands that sound exactly the same. Dude, Sabritas limones cacahuates are nasty. Stay away from ‘em. And even more so with the “japanese lime” – no good. Hope you’re feeling better.

cartarf,

Que onda hombre? Perdon que no te vi en messenger. Mi compu estuvo conectado pero yo no estuve. Saludos.

Moreno, DD, TS,

Thanks.

Booger,

I can’t think of anything more boring for a 15-year-old to read than this blog. Besides, it’s rated R. Just kiddin. If you dig into The Believer, you should start with the Nick Hornby columns … he’s pretty funny.

You know I have this theory that Latin rock music is entirely indebted to The Clash, from the early bands to the more eclectic modern bands. You can listen to it. It’s woven beneath the musical production and surfaces and a few folks can recognize it. Pero, London Calling is a monumental record. Good to know, you be diggin’ the same music I do.

Personally, my favorite Clash tunes off of London Calling are “Hateful”, “Spanish Bombs”, y “Revolution Rock.” Oso, I’m certain you’ve heard Los Fabulosos Cadillacs’ version of “Revolution Rock”?

I feel you man. I ended up in the hospital a few weeks ago because of some strange bug. I blame the Sabritas cacahuates I ate that day. I had two bags, tu sabes, the limon flavored and the picante. I took a nap that afternoon and I woke up feeling woozy, then it turned to nausea, then I spent the rest of the evening blowing chunks then well–you did an incredible job and describing what I went through. I threw up for three days straight and even taught a computer class, like this. I lost a few pounds too.

Good to know you’re alive.

Having an asshole as a firehose is just wicked. I don’t think I have ever had chorro that bad. Well maybe the time when I ate tacos de buche…twenty minutes later my stomach was rumbling ready to explode…and what an explosion it was. Haha. Anyhow its good to read that you are doing a lot better.

Roberto,

Thanks for the clarification. It seems like there’s some confusion down in Chile as well. The new link will be on today’s roundup on Global Voices.

Cindylu,

Thank you. From what I’ve read, the EZLN is trying to push out all third party organizations, even El FRAYBA. It certaintly doesn’t sound like it’ll get violent though – have you talked to your friend?

Myke,

Thanks my man. Global Voices is definitely a winner.

Greg and Tiger,

Miss you guys, wish we could be drinking espresso and acting witty around each other.

DT,

De acuero. HP had it too. You know how he’s always trying to copy me.

Chris,

I admit, I’ve resigned to the bottled water. We’ve got one of those filtering stations a few blocks from the house. In fact, I should go fill up the bottles right now.
