Even white boys got to shout!

This is just another one of those little tricks our system has to make sure there's always a never ending supply of working class citizens.
Higher education for a little while became something even first generation immigrants(I'm referring to people born in "third world countries here") were able to aspire to, and that folks, is a no-no.
It's not racism, it's classism.

El ateneo Bookstore, Buenos Aires, Argentina.


This used to be a movie theatre, what you see in the background and used to be where the screen was, is now a Coffee shop.

The Zapata tales.

I got these lines from his blog, it gives you the synopsis of how He ended up in some small town in Mexico .

Down Mejico Way
After 55 years of toil and trouble, a tall American boy flew south solo with the clothes on his back and two suitcases, knowing no one and speaking no Spanish . . .

. . . to the world of lovely women, impossible men, tortillas, burros, illogic and lies. Now he´s dancing the rest of his days away . . . .

. . . and speaking Spanish every day with the beautiful Mexican girl he married.

And so goes destiny.

Shame on you L.A's finest!

Who's going to protect us from evildoers now?
I always knew all those reports about Police chief Bratton doing such a great job were a bunch of lies.
This my friends, is the only thing LAPD is good at.
I can only hope they don't locate el Chapulin Colorado because if they do, We won't have to wait for 2012 to see the end and, I still want to go back to Bs As.
I hope spidey is able to swing His way out of this one.

Halloween '09

Don't know if He got any candy because I was kinda out of it but no one has ever played The Batman better than Lucas.





We would like to thank lamama first and foremost for the outstanding "craftswomanship"(otherwise women get all up in arms because they feel discriminated upon) on the 50% of the costume she didn't purchase.
Good Job!!!!

This is bullshit!!!!!*

*Bold text at the bottom is mine.



Paying homage to the integrity of the working class, Ospop today added a new set of travel bags to their collection of durable goods, aptly called the Migration Series. Referencing the ubiquitous plaid She Pi Dai bags commonly carried by Chinese people in transit, the water-resistant Migration series includes three styles all lined with that same industrial material and marked with the Ospop crest—the Gong symbol, meaning labor.



The collection comprises three essential types found most useful when traveling—a messenger bag, a one-handle day bag and a toiletry bag. Smartly designed, "ear flaps" on the messenger bag (pictured below) keep rain or dirt from making its way inside, while the one-handle incorporates a clever opening system and secure pockets.




The launch of the Migration bags coincides with an updated version of Ospop's classic shoe, worn by the working population in China. The Steppe collection fills out the initial Skywolf series, adding a 100% wool padded lining to its structure and a more rugged bottom suitable for taking off road. Available in a variety of colors (including camouflage), each pair comes with two sets of shoestrings and arrives in brown paper bag packaging—a nod to how they sell in China.

The bags range from $22-80, the shoes cost $93, and all sell online from the Ospop website. See more images after the jump.

Read more about Ospop in Cool Hunting's 2007 profile on the benevolent brand.

So now you can make poor peoples' lives(Not only the Chinese,this type of bag is everywhere I've ever been to) easier by letting them know you feel them and identify with their hardships.
This level of consciousness and camaraderie is achieved when you spend up to $80 American Dollars(The good ones) on a "migration bag" available on a variety of colors(because you want it but, don't want the same color your buddy Jeff has).
I wonder if the company is really Chinese.
