Queens, New York, cachaco center of the universe

So there I was, it was almost 9 pm on a cold Wednesday evening in NYC. I just left a bar in the village with my 22 year old brother in law. That young guy gets drunk with only 2 fokin beers, I need 2 six pack just to feel a buzz.
He wanted to watch a soccer game. Medellin was playing another Colombian team for some Colombian title, not sure what. Told him you aint gonna find this chit here, best bet is to gotto Roosevelt avenue in Queens, millions of paisas live there.
Keep in mind this modefoque has never been outta Colombia never mind NYC, USA.
I put that modefouqe on the number 7 subway line and told him to get off around the 80’s on Roosevelt.
Almost 2 hours later he calls from a bar all excited y mas borracho to tell me he bumped into an old school buddy that he has not seen in nearly 5 years. Later, they met up with other guys from the same school.
I think 80 percent of the cachaco population has left Colombia and more are leaving by the minute.
Costeños are gonna be left all alone in Colombia, what the fok are we suppose to do with this chit? is too fokin big!

All right, I'll ask: How come it took three seconds to euthanize Eight Belles, but the Womens NBA is starting Year 12???

Yup. . . Queens, New York - that's where I'm from. It's far less cachaco now than in the old days , and I'm talking about the late 60s, 70s and 80s.
