Man Tequila comments on What happened to the "edit"

Some folks here like to pick a fight about anything. And deny it later on.

Man Tequila comments on THANK YOU GUYS!

You might get the chance, even if you never own Alberta. ;) Welcome, Angelita. It's touching that you want to join the gang of malparidos here. We like fresh blood, and the package it comes in.

Man Tequila comments on What happened to the "edit"

I like the way things are now, a lot of hotheads around here not thinking before they type.

Man Tequila comments on Things that make you go mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

Am I going mmmm since it is counterintuitive for a gym to offer cookies, or because cookies are delicious? Cookies, thai food, shellfish and chocolate make me go mmmmm. So does reading "may contain peanuts" on a package of peanuts.

Man Tequila comments on I want to Learn How to Cook Sushi

There are also decent sushi cookbooks, but you might want to start with Easy Sushi which is pretty good. I'm sure HG could recommend something more advanced. http://about.pricegrabber.com/search_getprod.php?isbn=9781841721057&nrd=1&found=1&search=sushi easy I thought Inarizushi was any sushi stuffed in omelet, tofu or cabbage?

Man Tequila comments on write your mums name down here and say why she is a wonderful mum

Why don't I just tell HER these things?

Man Tequila comments on Ross Kemp On Gangs-Colombia

"Kemp's perspective and take on things, where at least he tries to dig deep into Colombia's underworld past/present, is perfectly valid, despite what many who think they know better want to believe." It's been a while since he saw this, I am not sure Kemp digs that deeply. Do you think he interviewed high level gangsters or low level poseurs? The conclusions he draws from his interviews seem to fit his preconceptions. This doesn't make Kemp invalid or mean that different perspectives are useless. Thank you for your patronage.

Man Tequila comments on Ross Kemp On Gangs-Colombia

The thing is, I think the stories he got lack some degree of credibility. I have not seen his other videos. It is an interesting subject.

Man Tequila comments on why do colombians think the USA is the best country to live in

Damn, Tony, five threads in ten minutes. We should chip in and buy you a ball of yarn. Ain't it obvious? Hollywood dreams, a large ex-pat population, Miami, ignorance...

Man Tequila comments on Ross Kemp On Gangs-Colombia

They were on YouTube some time ago, but were taken off. Not being an Eastender fan, I was unaware of Mr. Kemp before seeing it. My impression was that he tried hard to portray himself as a tough guy. I think he talked to a bunch of low level thugs and tried to portray them as gang leaders, that his publicity may have helped kill a genuinely brave activist, that he would interview people and then draw conclusions based on his previous biases and that he was occasionally insincere in his expressions of sympathy. Though it was interesting and he did make a few good points.

Man Tequila comments on GET WELL GIB

I hear GIB is doing a lot better, and am glad to hear it.

Man Tequila comments on What is your favorite Vallenato song?

I like vallenatos and most of my friends think I am crazy for liking them.

Man Tequila comments on Announcing Kat1 as a new moderator

Am I the only one who has a problem with this? Kat1 just deleted 27 of my posts, including a really good one about how it took me thirteen seconds to sign in when Peter claimed it should just take seven. I don't often use the word "misrepresentation", but this is clearly the greatest scandal since Aquafina bottled tap water... Ah, I can't do it, someone else will have to get Kat1 warmed up. I'm not so sure it is easy to be a moderator here, but if anyone can do it it is Kaffy. ;)

Man Tequila comments on Global cooling?

I've been back at work for several months. But I decided I'd be happier living in a bigger town, so I'm going to be moving and switching hospitals soon.

Man Tequila comments on

No crackers.

Man Tequila comments on

i use coffee as a medication in much the same way... the spit screen makes no sense, they going to spend hundreds of dollars to sequence some DNA and hope they can match it on Interpol?

Man Tequila comments on Google the phrase "2 girls 1 cup"

Having read Tinto's synopsis, why would I possibly want to see this? I've already seen everything during my job and don't seek out the grotesque.

Man Tequila comments on Global cooling?

You may be right, esanch, but it would take more this compelling article to convince me. I do agree green movements can make melodramatic claims. So can big oil. But if you win over the conspiracy theory contingent and those who like Colombia you'll have gone a long way towards reversing the tide.

Man Tequila comments on Scottys story

Man, I would have given you an eagle, nude woman or nude eagle woman. At least theycould have put enough black dots there that you could connect them to form something better.

Man Tequila comments on Message from GIB

There's a difference between reliability and being batshit insane. ;)

Man Tequila comments on Warning Identiy Theft in Colombia

There are viruses for Linux but they are less common than for windows. Keyloggers are simple, and this type of theft is not particularly sophisticated. Read this and shudder. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rootkit

Man Tequila comments on Message from GIB

Rohypnol is very lipophilic. This means this chemical likes fat. Since most membranes are made of fat, it does not penetrate them so easily. But I haven't talked to Toxicol ;) Before being discontinued it was made by Roche pharmaceutical company. Of course I believe GIB, but I think it is probably a different chemical.

Man Tequila comments on Eat As Much As You Want In Colombia And Lose Weight

Fresh food is best, but preservatives are a lot better than spoiled and rotten food.

Man Tequila comments on MaFe

Creo que "Man Tequila" tambien ayuda las mujeres de abajar sus estándares, jeje ;)

Man Tequila comments on Slimming Tablets

For most pills that make it to market, only a small minority of people suffer from side effects. I buy Olestra chips whenever I go to the states. I've never had leakage PR that differed from the norm. If your fat intake is not high, you might not need Xenical. My $0.02

Man Tequila comments on Man Tequila

Thankee.

Man Tequila comments on Slimming Tablets

Here's what I don't get about Orlistat (Xenical). It works by stopping some of the chemicals that break down fat. So maybe 30% of dietary fat goes into the poop instead of your body. And many folks would lose some weight. Fatty poop tends to stink, float, be mushy and look greasy. But so what? People who want to lose weight don't care. And yet, they do when it comes to Olestra. This was the discovery people waited years for, and the food industry thought they would make billions. Olestra is a mirror image of fat, an L-enzyme instead of an R-isomer, fat flipped over. The body can't absorb it, but it has very similar chemical properties since it is the same chemical. But a few media articles on greasy feces and "anal leakage" and many wouldn't touch it, though they would pay handsomely to go on a pill that had similar side effects. Got to be the worst marketing job ever on Olestra's part. Never understood it.

Man Tequila comments on Scottys story

Keep your chin up, John. Though times seem tough, you're tougher.

Man Tequila comments on

Well, even poor countries can spread information. But if the information is wrong, or based on Hollywood movies or biased, are they still spreading information?

Man Tequila comments on MaFe

Like the new avatar, but what are you saying about standards here?

Man Tequila comments on Slimming Tablets

Is the shiny side of the tinfoil on the inside or the outside?

Man Tequila comments on Slimming Tablets

There are different types of slimming tabs. Most contain stimulants that increase metabolism and heart rate, plus cause the jitters -- caffeine, guarine, ephedrine or phenylephrine. They don't work that well and the calorie diet part makes a bigger difference, might as well just drink eight cups of coffee a day and get the same effect.

Man Tequila comments on

Another great post. Low standards are usually for people who lack alternatives.

Man Tequila comments on Eat As Much As You Want In Colombia And Lose Weight

I don't lose much weight in Colombia. I tend to gain it Argentina though.

Man Tequila comments on Shakira's other job

I think Juanes is okay, his more recent stuff pales slightly. But I respect the man and his commitment. The PR component is de rigeur for a celebrity, even if they wanted to be lower key their publicists would poo-poo it.

Man Tequila comments on

I hear they've just come out with a blood test that measures Colombianidad levels. These tend to be higher in folks with the Arepa gene.

Man Tequila comments on Sicariato in Canada iban a matar en Canadá a Pitirr

I would suspect buying a gun in Canada to be pretty easy.

Man Tequila comments on Big Boys in USA Rationing Rice Sales

Yeah, you can't buy more than four big bags of rice at time. Anyne remembr Y2K?

90%?? How does putting your arms in the air stop nineteen out of twenty attacks? Is it the wang chung?

Man Tequila comments on Wopper Freakout

Not bad, but would benefit from being half as long.

Man Tequila comments on Liberalism and Socialism

I have to congratulate Cerealkiller on her optimism and tenacity in starting this thread at all. It took a lot longer to go south than I would have guessed. I'm certainly a social liberal here in Canada, but the word has been so devalued in the US that no one is sure what it means. Americans who define themselves as liberal, including the university elites, have beliefs which sometimes scare me. I'm also economically conservative, which today shares much with classical liberalism. I don't like spendthrift governments that can't justify what they spend or and don't try to measure or prove it has made a difference. I'm strongly for a free market and largely against corporate handouts as well as government intervention not based on health, pollution, fairness or reasonable laws.

Man Tequila comments on ISN'T IT ABOUT TIME, TO OPEN THE FORUM UP TO NEW MEMBERS?

You don't need to be a member to enjoy and participate in the misinformation given on this site. If the site needs to limit itself to control trolls, I've no big problem with that, but it should upgrade its protection as other blogs do. Man Tequila Enterprises is a subsidiary of Utopia Inc. ;) As for the mods, well, I don't want to be one.

Man Tequila comments on

I read that only 53 percent of second generation Latinos could speak Spanish, so probably a few less could write it. Most know about the culture, of course. I'd be interested to know how Colombianos compare with that. When I boned up on my Spanish at the decent Escuela de Idiomas, Universidad de Guanajuato (Mex) -- the American students in the more advanced classes tended to be Latinas who wanted to better communicate with their abuelos.

Man Tequila comments on

I really like that picture from www.cravingsmagazine.com Now I know Mitch is a legitimate player. Not just another PBHer with time on his hands. ;)

Man Tequila comments on Shakira's other job

If I was Colombian, and became wealthy, and put money and effort into local charity work... I hope it would receive a better reaction than sour griping. It seems to me there are a lot of wealthy Colombians who give nothing and don't even have kind words or a smile for the unfortunate. Shakira is a self-promoter? You don't care for her songs? So what?

Man Tequila comments on Gigantesco parque en Colombia...con la montaña rusa más larga del mundo!

You could probably just do that a lot cheaper in Wales. ;)

Man Tequila comments on 51 members of congress under investigation for links with paramilitaries

I'm not exactly surprised by the allegations. But perhaps the fact it is being investigated is a degree of proof that the institutions and justice systems are improving.
