elmodefoque says on Thursday May 17th, 2007 5:01:

If I told you guys once I told you a million FOKIN times, be very wary of these colombianas.
How do I know if the ColombianA is really into me and not just going after my money and passport.
VERY,VERY SIMPLE!!!!!
But before I address that issue let me learn you another thing.
Don’t be so happy about getting treated like royalty, many Colombian parents want and prey for their daughters to land a gringo. You will be their savior.
Guess who’s gonna pay the bill for her fokin little cousin’s broken leg? YOU!!
Guess who’s gonna pay for her brother’s school bill? YOU!!!
Guess who’s gonna pay to have her father’s crappy old motorcycle fix? Look in the mirror modefoque.
Now you wonder why they treated your average un assuming ass like a prince?
Ask any of these Colombian ladies here how their parents treated her new gringo boyfriend? Like a foking Messiah.
Now getting back to my simple answer:
As soon as you see her in the fokin airport with her 300 family members and you like what you see, take her ass immediately to the nearest fokin motel. Fok her family, they wont mind!!
If she doesn’t start off by giving you the best head you ever had and then riding your milky white ass like a wild bronco after months talking about it, then dump her!!!
Since most women over there aint got no money, nearly all shows their love thru sex. If she starts giving you all kinds of excuses for not having sex is because she’s screwing her broke ass Colombian boyfriend all over her little town with the fokin money you been sending.
Let me tell you another thing, she will be disappointed with you physically once she sees your pink pasty white ass and realizes you don’t look anything like Brat fokin Pitt.
All colombianas will be repulsed but MOST will end up marrying your ass anyway, so not to disappoint her family.

Hg is right, the 'papi' post was gut wrenching.
I commented a few weeks ago, that Desi's post that may still be somewhat current, with so many people posting so many tremendous fotos of Colombia, was the best ever.

Peter,,.. you got to have categories.
Elmo is one by himself; a category.

'what does it mean, when one of you (colombians) tell another: YOU WERE NOT/ARE NOT. 'COLOMBIAN ENOUGH'?? jejeje..a mixture, I think, of stupidity mixed with a false sense of arrogance.. How 'colombian' do you have to be? to be 'colombian enough

Man Tequila says on Mar 28, 2008, 08:50:

Elmodefoque's 3:17am post was unforgettable. Myself, I like the vallenato posts.

A few of my posts were deleted (not demoted) since they were popular and contained idle chit chat, with as many as 20% of the posts discussing things other than Colombia. This might seem petty, seeing as many threads full of open hostility remain. I guess I could start a whiny and complaining "why was this deleted" post, but it wasn't exactly Shakespeare. As a student of the human condition, I like to think that some of the older moderators are just probably really fond of Thunderbird and Night Train.
