quade 4 #4 June 26, 2011 QuoteThis is the new Sputnik. So . . . I was out for my evening walk. Nothing TOO unusual except I do notice there are a LOT of cars parked in front of homes and not so many on the road. Suddenly I hear POP, pop, bang, pop, bang, bang! In my neighborhood this can only mean one of two things; a good day or a bad day. People start rushing out of their homes and into the streets! They're waving their arms, jumping up and down and screaming. People are getting into cars and honking horns. POP!, BANG, POP, BANG, BANG! Mexico won in soccer. It's a good day.quade - The World's Most Boring Skydiver Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nanook 1 #6 June 26, 2011 yeah. . . It's like the Chess club of a high school lost to a rival. The concentration is somewhere else.

nanook 1 #7 June 26, 2011 Hey Quade. . .Right now, are you seeing fireworks in the night sky? I think your neighbors are still celebrating._____________________________ "The trouble with quotes on the internet is that you can never know if they are genuine" - Abraham Lincoln Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
quade 4 #8 June 26, 2011 QuoteHey Quade. . .Right now, are you seeing fireworks in the night sky? I think your neighbors are still celebrating. My neighborhood has access to some high quality aerial explosives. This is going to go on for a bit, but probably nothing like we'll see on the Fourth of July. THAT is insane. Sadly, not all the noisemakers are fireworks. Unfortunately some folks also have access to hand guns, which isn't itself such a bad thing except they do have a tendency to fire them into the air on occasions such as this. The main police station is two blocks away from my house and we have a cop that lives across the street, but I think for the most part they kind of give a bit of lip service about not doing it. It's kind of futile anyway since it happens everywhere within a couple mile radius.quade - The World's Most Boring Skydiver Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Is this a sign that Mexicans in America give their primary loyalty to Mexico, and therefore would love to see America fall and Mexicans take over, as in the Reconquista movement?
