the oldgringo is renouncing his handle......

because he does not want to voluntarily soil himself anymore with any asssociation that implies any commonality with USA........beacause....
Today, la commandante was denied, again, a measly tourist visa to go to hawaii, at the us consul in boncouver, second time in two years, even though everything was in PERFECT order......
why......??
same young punk officer ogled la commandante, displaid a perfect sneer at the oldone, in obvious jelousy, and said, wait a few more months until she becomes a citizen, then she can enter as freely as any canadian.............puro malo!!hijeputa!!
meantime any greencard holder can come to canada,..gratis..no problema....
"reciprocity"...nada.
even though in colombia, a canadian is a gringo, young or old, this place (PBH) permits some freedom of identity creation, so, the oldgringo is no more.
can somebody tell him how to change his nick, or, should he just retire gracefully?
he know this could go in the visa forum,...but now it's bigger that that.

LOL!!! Sorry to hear about la commandante's visa issues. Hope that works itself out for good in a few months.

How about "OldCanuck" or OldBacon"?

In the upper left section of the page, click on "my account" and then click on the "edit" tab. I just changed my name to TintoX and back again. No problema!

You're right, OG, there is no justice. The thing I hate about those bureaucrats is they are a law unto themselves. I'm sure that there is a level in hell reserved for these bastards.

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.

Utopia, Oldgringo, when it happens to me I always try to memorize their faces and names... you never know what the fate may offer to you, well before hell time!

ex-OG. how about "losGringosQueComanMonda!!" Is a little long but it get's your message across quite clear.

over 5 million colombianos in USA and only 27 barranquilleros, i'm one.Curramba, el mejor vividero del mundo!

you know... robi666..oldbongo remarked the other day how he would be happy to meet that punkus in a dark alley somewhere, however, they make a point of not identifying themselves by name.
anyway, those stupid gringos got enough trouble already without oldbongo coming after them. he will just continue wandering around the world, spreading happiness everwhere, but not in USA.
they can have it to themselves....

chu very funny boy 2... oldbongo will reflect on that deep anagramic puzzle.

he will let you know, because you are so kind, that his
application for personalized licence plate has been approved
by the authorities...it reads.....CLT-PNK...

Hawaii Sucks! If Old Bong User had any brains he'd take La Commandante to Mexico instead-a great place lots to see/do and she'll be able to speak her native lengua.
The food is better too.
