ColombianoX would be proud of me

I have been reading the Visa Journey (immigration) site and a thread came up where someone was asking if they could take an interpreter for their Adjustment of Status interview. Some wise guy posted "College Students, grad students, etc would work fine...just don't use any Columbian Drug Lords!". Pissed me off. I had to reply "BTW, if you are going to insult Colombia, at least try to spell it right."

That's it UC?? The only thing that bothered you was the fact that this guy spelled Colombia incorrectly?? I can take the Coffee stores spelling Colombia wrong when they want to list that they have "Colombian Coffee" but they always seem to spell it "Coloumbian Cofffee". But in this case, that is a disgusting generalization made against my fellow Colombian nationals....mal parrido el hombre es !!

I'm sick of these drug jokes !! Cx and I would would love to stick it to this guy!!

Well, G'man, I wanted to bitch slap the guy but I thought it was enough to make him look like a moron who couldn't even spell.

Disclaimer: any comment I make is inane and is not to be taken seriously, and is so patently ridiculous that no one should take it seriously, even as an insult.

We have 2 coffee makers in my office One is labelled "Breakfast blend" the other is labelled "Columbian".

I told the secretary very nicely that he spelt my country's name incorrectly on the label. He ignored me. I told him again and he laughed it off.
I picked up a permanent marker and changed the damn U to an O. He trashed the sign and made a new one that reads "Columbia" again.

3 strikes seƱor.

I am going to come in early on Monday morning, tie that sucker to a chair, rip off his shirt, take a knife out of my back pocket and carve a big bloody "O" on his chest while he screams for mercy, so that he will never in his sorry life again forget that he pissed off a Colombiana.

Except you're in Canada...oh well

Colombiche......damn I can't stand people like this guy. I mean us Colombians have to go through enough crap with the drug nonsense, is it really asking so much when we ask for people to spell the name of our country properly??

There has got to be a way you can put a little havoc in this guy's life, isn't there?? Don't you have some private info of his that you could play with with?? Nothing too exotic....just enough to put him in his place

Hmmm Rather than taking the underhanded approach, I'd rather just take the bull by the horns, and rough him up while I whisper the lyrics to the Himno nacional in his ear.

Man, that sounds like a scene in one of those "bad colombian people" movies.

Columbian as in Columbia University, NYC Hey, He was talking collage students, grad students and Columbian drug lords with a u. Perhaps he is talking about the drug lords at the Columbia University, New York City. Hey, It's uptown in the Harlem district. Plenty of drugs and thugs. And to think Colombia the beautiful South American country has been getting bad press all these years. The drugs are actually coming from the Ivy League Drug Cartels. No wonder the drugs keep getting through. The U.S. Government has been looking for drugs in Colombia, South America. When the problem has been at Columbia University NYC all this time. Those Columbian drug lords are some pretty sharp characters! Viva Colombia! the country, not the collage!

You know Rubiazo I hadn't the slightest idea who this Rocco Singorelli was, so in my innocence, I Googled the name and got back a message from our company's Smart Filter telling me I couldn't access the page because it found the words pornography, extreme, and I won't even say the other ones.

Listen, I managed to get away with roughing up the secretary this morning, the boss even gave me a raise for doing that, but now, if the sniffer catches me searching for that kind of morboso info on the net, I am going to come in after lunch, find all my belongings in a box along with a little note saying "You are fired pervert". If that happens, I am going to get Gomezman do some damage to your reputation!

Colombiche Try searching for the 'champagne scene'!
You can't damage an already trashed reputation BTW. That is the beauty of being a musician. There is no such thing as negative publicity.
