What do you guys think about this "senior prank"?
Jun 7^th, 2014 at 12:03pm

Apparently, there is a new "trend" . . . graduating seniors hire mariachi bands to follow the principal around the school.

I'm sorry, but I don't see the humor in it!

The joke is on the students! Mariachi bands charge $500 dollars per hour! Or $5.00 a song in restaurants!

P.S. The trumpet is supposed to be out of tune! That is how it's supposed to sound!

Gorda, hello. I hope you're doing well. If you haven't, I recommend you to watch the original Heartbreak Kid (1972) instead, and stop worrying about how gringos or any other foreigners think about any other foreigners. It's like being offended by the Mexico section at Epcot Center. There will always be naivety in this small world of ours.

P.D.: Supongo que hablas español, por tu alias. De ser así, que tengas bonito día y no hagas corajes. Es malo para la salud.

I can't stand Mariachi music. It's like the Mexican equivalent of barbershop quartet. Grab one of them bastards and make him eat his goddam sombrero.

Anyway, I'm more concerned with Riffhard telling everyone I'm stuck on dumbfuck. That really sticks in my craw. Did he cite any evidence for this? My momma didn't raise no stuck on dumbfucks.

For Mexicans, mariachi music is usually reserved for special occasions, such as birthdays, Mother’s Day, quinceñeras, weddings, religious holidays, and funerals. (I guess the last day of school qualifies as an appropriate celebration.)

Also, when you’re really, really sad and you just want to drink alone! Mariachi music is the best!

Two of my favorite sad songs: (They are about pain and suffering over a broken heart.)

Maria Dolores Pradera performs “El Día Se Hizo Tarde”:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b8WWNg1K_XI
The day got late
Maria Dolores Pradera

I waited for you every night
With the same crazy desire
That you would arrive early
To disarm in your mouth

And then you and night would come
And night and you came
To let me pour in your body fantasies

But one day it got late
I thought it was only that
Because night came
And kissed me

Chorus
One day, another day, and another
Showed me without a doubt
That night is better than you
Night is more faithful than dark

My memories
Tossing and turning in bed
After many turns
I found myself at dawn

I jumped to go look for you
Where you usually came
And I saw you. Damn!
The same way, I saw you leave

A breath of love I gave to the wind
(I blew a kiss to you.)
But even the breeze got tired of chasing you

I never knew your reasons
I still don’t know
And even if you don’t believe it.
By God! I still yearn for you.

Sanity abandoned me
When you left my life
Like time to walls
Your love left me in ruins

Chavela Vargas performs Jose Alfredo Jimenez’ “El Ultimo Trago”:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PtenL7GCa04

Translation:
THE LAST DRINK
Jose Alfredo Jimenez
Performed by Chavela Vargas

Drink this bottle with me
and after the last drink we can go
I want to see what your forgetfulness tastes like
without putting your hands in my eyes
tonight I will not beg
tonight you're going to leave for real
it is difficult to have to forget you
without feeling that I no longer want you

The years have not taught me anything
I always fall into the same mistakes
Again toasting with strangers
and to mourn for the same pains

Drink this bottle with me
and after the last drink, you kiss me
expect no witnesses
in case you are embarrassed

And if one day we accidently meet again
do not lean over to talk to me
simply lets shake hands
Let the people gossip if they want

The years have not taught me anything
I always fall into the same mistakes
Again toasting with strangers
and to mourn for the same pains

Drink this little bottle with me
and after the last drink we can go ...

This is a good movie, I second Mr. Pleasant.

No. I thought he had power here? Am I mistaken? Because I will retaliate on this stuck on dumbfuck notion, if I sense any kind of weakness. I will pounce like fucking vulture in that regardical. You show me your underwear, and I bring out some booze and cocaine fueled Godzilla posts. I will fuck smack you up one way and piss on down the other, if I see exposure.
