That is pretty cool but It would be a prime target for ladrones to pick out gringos to rob if they wanted to.. no? But Fuck-em I would STILL GO!

"PAY ATTENTION! I wonder if that person knows that when we push the FUNNY button, its because we are reading something outrageous, trying to be cynical, derogatory, sarcastic and/or obnoxious!"

The anniversary of the Stonewall riots and Gay Pride is happening in the next few days.

I know Medo will be out there loud and proud with his rainbow flag. :op
