mexico - america - cross-cultural stuff

[mountainman 0]

Hey everyone.

I am trying to help my sister think of some stuff that is Mexican originally, but has become a staple or famous here in the States.

If you can think of something, please let me know here. So far, I have thought of Mexican music, Mexican food, and thats about it.

Thanks!!

And I thought you were my friend, skymama! If there is one thing that makes me feel ashamed of being Mexican (aside from riding a donkey to work everyday after waking up drunk outside the cantina) is THE MACARENA!

By the way, I think it's somewhere from South America (or at least I wish).

Drug Cartels

Nahh...I think those were invented in Colombia and then exported everywhere.

Yeah...but think of the great gas mileage!!!


I also hear that Mexico has produced some great mining engineers. Of course...they all now live in the us...

The closest one is Skydive San Diego... it'll take us about 2 days to get there in my donkey.

Actually....I think if you weren't "IN" the donkey, it may actually go slower. But hey, I'm not sure.

haha!!

That wouldn't be fair to the canadians. This time, the spanish are to blame.

No one could survive with out the Rodriguez Brothers, but I think that we can blame that on canadians too

Thanks Spy

oddly enough, i was just reading about the origin of the rodriguez bros and was pleasantly surprised to find that they did in fact originate in waterville, nova scotia. a 182 dz next to the michelin tire plant! does anyone know if the originators are from waterville, or did they just happen to be in town when they drank enough tequila to come up with the idea?

You gotta blame Canada again...Cheech is originally from LA and Chong is Canadian.
