So, like I do most Thursdays, I put on my best disco clothes and made my way down to the loncheria this afternoon to have myself a tasty, plancha-pressed Cuban sandwich—only today, when I requested extra pickle slices between the ham, roast pork and cheese (as is my wont), the shop’s long-time proprietor refused the additional nickel such an upgrade usually costs me, and in fact informed me, in that avuncular way old exiled Cuban sandwich shop owners have, that, should I wish some butter on top of the standard mustard, there’d be no extra charge for that, either!
To which I replied, “shit yeah, Mr avuncular exiled Cuban sandwich shop proprietor! Gimme the butter!”
From the nearly palpable sense of excitement in the shop—and the unprecedented condiment generosity—I was able to determine that something special is afoot within the Cuban-American community. But I’ll be damned if I can tell you what it is. Unfortunately, I don’t speak Cuban.
Still, the butter and the extra pickels were super! And I have to admit, that was one of the best damn sandwiches I’ve ever eaten.
Developing…*
Stalin and Castro, gosh the NYT had a busy century. Wonder how many they’ll help slaughter in this one?
So many of my friends order the cuban sandwich sans pickle it boggles me. The pickles are what make the cuban sandwich.
Humm…the proverbial « todo lo pago yo »

Jeff, hombre WTF ?
just imagine how good the Cuban sandiches must be in Cuba!
The Duranty Pulitzer is getting kind of tarnished, don’t you think? Che is dead. I suppose Raul is the next likely anti-yankee hero for the loyal opposition…
There’s a loncheria in Denver? That makes a good Cuban sandwich?
Okay, boy, spill.
Not to put too fine an edge on it, but, fuck communism.
The thought of that murderous bastard laying in agony, but a mere echo of the pain he’s caused for over 50 years, is small comfort.
May it be so intense, no amount of morphine will take the edge off, while he slowly bleeds himself out into his rotted belly.
And that when he goes, the sharks he’s surrounded himself with turn on Raul, and make Nikolai Ceausescu’s end look like a picnic.
TW: May I use my rusty garden trowel to help with Mr. Castro’s next surgery, doctor?
What Wind Rider said…cubed. And if I know the word for “to the fourth power”, I’d say that, too.
The real comedy in this is going to be the ridiculous posing contest between Hugo Chavez and Daniel Ortega for the “successor” mantle at the funeral (complete with WaPo and NYT columns with that leitmotif). I say we tie them together at the wrists, give them knives, and have that “Star Trek” duel music play in the background.
I love that Star Trek duel music!
Frankly, I think it’d be hilarious if some bunch of jokers was able to get its hands on a Russian or Chinese cruise missile on the black market and program the coordinates for the reviewing stand at Castro’s state funeral. Think of all the bad out of towners like Chavez and Ortega as well as the dregs of the Cuban Commie power structure.
But then, I also think this it’d be interesting if some right wing crazies in Israel got ahold of some captured katyushas and made sure that Umm Al Fahm and other towns in the “Arab triangle” in the Galilee got hit while the next Hezb-allah barrage is flying.
Alas, there’s no such thing. You can trump anything with enough morphine, including life itself.
Mostly, that’s a good thing. Sometimes, it’s a shame.
That’s the soundtrack of my life. Except it’s played on a calliope, which makes it sound more like an evil circus.
I’ve never had one of those Cuban sammiches but they look real tasty. So do Cuban women, for that matter.
When Castro is confirmed dead, there is going to be a party like the world has never seen before, except perhaps at the fall of the Berlin wall.
I have a CD from a guy that is a master at the musical saw. I don’t really play it much. The cats don’t like it.
TW: sense… They’ve got more sense, I guess
He’s at http://www.theremin-saw.com
Make it “Beat It” instead and I’m in.
I’m sorry guys, I know this isn’t about this thread…but I thought you just had to see just how serious Poorfessor Coocoo-For-Coacoapuffs is taking all this. We all know already how she has been acting and the extortion threats she has posted on her site since this morning…but this one takes the cake.
I really just don’t think she gets it. She still thinks it is all a game and she has the upperhand and is winning.
Jeff…End Game buddy.
And still, the psychotic childlike little trolling moonbas support her. They still wonder why people don’t listen o Liberals and people continue to leave the Democrats and join the Republicans in droves. I wonder what the air is like where they live? Obviously dense, since apparently the air in reality is very thin and makes them go into euphoric, hypoxic type delusions and fantasies.
Now…where are all my uniform loving hotties tonight?
Ditto. It is, I’m sure, a great time to be cubin’.
Hmmm…my “T” key seems to be messed up.
I second Charlie – where are you getting good Cuban sandwiches? I haven’t had good Cuban food since I last went to Miami – and I’m not anticipating a trip back there anytime soon.
TW: Grammar lesson: I support the troops should never be followed by “but”…
Jeff,
I was thinking that right wing Jews and Cuban Americans have a lot in common. They are both more conservative than their larger communities (Jews in general and Latinos tend to be liberal), and they’ve both thought that the MSM was shaping the news long before anyone else was complaining.
Whadda ya think?
You guys do know how Satan is going to great Fidel in Hell don’t you?
“ Fidelllll……you’ve got some ‘splainin’ to do……”
Make that greet in Hell……..
Tw: indeed Preview is a fine tool indeed
I reject the stats you pulled out yer butt, hosie. Prove your point with verifiable info, or shutupfo. (wow, it’s easy to embrace this Deb speech community.)
In other words, your wholesale dismissal of liberals is reflexive and telling. First, you cite “facts” not in evidence, then launch into babbling invective which makes you look like, Sadly Yes, Ms. ItchyFrisch. Not impressed, and neither am I.
Deb seems to labor under the impression that she has a lawsuit filed against her. That may or may not be true. The instant case is a civil restraining order, and I would be stunned and amazed if it’s enforceable on the internet. Precedents happen, however; maybe this is a test case. I don’t want to ignore Deb—it’s like a car wreck I witnessed but can’t quite remember.
It just came to me. Deb’s affectations remind of that “whoa” guy in Confederacy of Dunces. Way too funny.
Hmm…Fidel in hell…
Reminds me of Hitler in “Little Nicky”
Anybody got a pineapple? (Algien tiene una pina?)
TW: wonder what the police in Eugene are up to?
Alice, if we can make Jeff spill the frijóles negros, I’ll meet you there.
‘Ere, now, I play the theremin.
I’d add “badly”, but I suspect that’s redundant.
:
I guess that just shows you what you know then, doesn’t it?
Bubkiss.
I can hardly wait for Fidel’s state funeral. I’m going to sneak into newsrooms across the nation and steal stuff. Because all the MSM will be dressed in black and weeping uncontrollably down in Cuba leaving all their cool stuff unguarded.
A plea for sanity and reason amongst the commentors…please no mention of “ Star Trek duel music “ within at least four hours of a normal bed time. Someone please get these sounds out of my head before it explodes.
Hmy name es Ahntonio Moantahno. I ahm a po-leetical refoogee from Cooba.
God, I love that movie. He sure got HIS sandwich buttered.
Oh, and yes, I whole heartedly dismiss all Liberals as hatefilled, racist, hypocritical, anti-American, un-patriotic feeble little children who spit on the very people that give them the freedom to do so, as well as offer aid and comfort to the enemy and would sell out our country and freedoms in the name of their “feelings” A simple trip to any Liberal site will tell you everything you need to know and back up my claims. The rhettoric spouted by those on Kos as well as such quality Liberals as Kennedy, Murtha, Pelosi, et al show their disdain for the military and those others fighting for this country and freedom around the globe. Their failure (al Liberals) of realizing what is at stake in the war against Islamic Theocratic Imperialism is astounding and frightening to anyone with a high school education in world politics and history. Their very actions and statements back up every claim I have made. As far as he ones about Dr. Mutcase, all you have to do is go and read all her threats and extortions on her site in her own writing.
Now try not being a hypocrite and actually research before you spout off.
PS – how come I never get prompted for a TW? I wanna play!
Hosebadger: OOH. I am taken numerous notches by your superiority. Yes, that must be it. I owe you sacks of money. They are behind the usual dumpster. Come and claim, my medieval friend.

You don’t get a TW if you’ve logged in.
I think a theremin is lovely lullaby music, but then I LOVE STAR TREK DUEL music.
Sorry for shouting.

Ok, it’s better if you’re here listening to me sing it.
Or maybe not.
TW: SPEAK
I’m swooning
I suppose you’d prefer this?
I thought not.

Khaaan!
I, too, have the Star Trek duel music running through my head. Thanks for that.
I sure hope everything plays out for the best in Cuba. THose folks sure deserve some good fortune after 50 years of totalitarian rule – all heartily cheered on by the NYT, of course.
Hosedragger,
With all due respect, Liberals do come in various flavors. Jeff is calling himself a “Classic Liberal” nowadays, a descriptor I’m tempted to adopt, too. They were never a monolithic bunch, anyway. Maybe it’s better to argue over ideas than labels.
Just sayin’.
I share your amazement at the material you quoted. Isn’t it odd how some people who call themselves “Liberals” can be so illiberal? Oh, well, dealing with the fringe is always awkward, which one can learn from using the vacuum cleaner on the living room rug.
TW: Shut defense, keep out de Debil.
T&T
Unfortunately, I don’t speak Cuban.
Time to finish up that foreign language requirement that’s the only thing standing between you and a Cornell Ph.D. Then you’ll be able to rap with Cuban sandwich shop owners AND enjoy intellectual credibility. It’ll be boss , dude.
Swear to God… on CNN night before last, Anderson Cooper was interviewing some Cuba expert, and here’s what he asked him (paraphrased):
“So, what gives Castro the right to just turn power over to his brother? Sounds almost like a monarchy or something…”
My mouth’s still hanging open. I hate that the antiquated satellite system where I live forces CNN on me as if it was a News Channel, but at least I’m always up-to-date with the latest in BDS-speak.
TW: Has anyone shone a flashlight in AC’s ear lately?
I don’t like pickles. Maybe once every 3 years or so.
But I looove butter. Lurpak is the best. It was the best even before the Buy Danish campaign.
And I like mayo even less than pickles.
Apparently “random guy” doesn’t speak “humor.”
Thank God you can’t see me. I love that video!
McGehee —
Show Dick some respect!
I dunno about the “Star Trek” fight music. I prefer the “Imperial March” from “Star Wars”. Even had it as my ring tone for awhile.
It appears she took that comment down, Hosedragger. Thanks for the archived copy though
. It’ll go nicely in my collected set of comments.
TW: seven year itch?
Is it not possible that Raul is making no public appearances because he knows damn well Castro won’t tolerate ANOTHER cult of personality in Cuba, and he’s worried the hideous homunculus might pull through?
Nope, it’s still up. #34 in the Jester thread.

Good grief. Just… wow. I’ll “agree” to abide by a court-signed RO? Holy cow that person doesn’t live on planet Earth anymore….
TW: another fine example of teh crayzee
Although I didn’t have un sandwich cubano, I did have ropa vieja at Cuban Exiles Party HQ, Versailles, this Tuesday.
I blogged about the pandemonium outside this famous Miami Cuban landmark restaurant, complete with pics and even a soundbite of Cubans singing their National Anthem, to the accompaniment of a sax player.

Cheers,

I guess Castro got better and better and better and then died.
I posted this link at Ace’s too, but I put it here for those who don’t read Ace: a great article on Fidel’s executioner, Che and the love affair the New York Times has with the Cuban thugocracy (part of Front Page’s series on Monsters of the Left) The outrageous propaganda of the NYT didn’t start yesterday. It’s been going on a long, long time. Only now we can see it in better light.
Good fucking riddance.
ah, Theramin, that takes me back. Had to watch the documentary for, uh, i think it was 20th century music class. the professor was soooo enamored of them he got the school to buy one and they used it in ”Help, Help the Globolinks!”
Warlock, you are so right.
I gave up there a few nights ago. But then I went back and just didn’t leave a name!
But after that comment, I went back to being A Reasonable Person. Only I wasn’t reasonable.
I’m not usually harsh and I almost never name call, but that pissed me off.
All the worthy people in this world who could seriously use someone in their corner and all of the worthy people who would be so grateful for free legal advice and she pissed on everyone.
Bitch.
GREAT GOOGLIE MOOGLIE!!! Go there NOW and see the latest post. Referencing Jeff’s son in an imagined conversation. Unfreakin believable!!!!
No one…and I mean NO ONE can POSSIBLY be this stupid.
Not to mention in direct violation of the restraining order and now breaking the law.
I suspect she’s keeping this up because folks keep going to her site to watch a slow, painful trainwreck. She craves the attention. I say ignore her.
I’m not sure the site meter even matters anymore.
I’m quite sure I still don’t like pickles.
oh well, more for me. ooooh, and i’ll be in south FL in a few days, i’ll try to have an extra Cuban samich for ya, Jeff.
She’s deeply ill. She can’t stop herself from acting out. I guess this will come to a crescendo somehow.
Yeah…but how will we know?
She’s trolling the comments on Blackfive now – she’s after info on Froggy.
The crescendo ain’t gonna be pretty.
Link?
– Well hell yes. Without your dick you’d be slapless in Seattle.
I wonder that no one in her family has taken her in hand. Don’t they love her enough to help her? Maybe they’ve washed their hands of her.
BTW – Does the ‘dillo know he’s in danger of losing his thespian standing and being upstaged by this dude?
No permalinks on the comments, I’ll email ya the links to the threads.
and:

OMG. She’s just announced she’s open up for free for all questions/comments.
WTF?
Huuuuuu! … Bad grl bad grl… whatcha gwonna do when they come for you…

I, for one, welcome our new anchor pussies.
Anderson Friggin’ Cooper.
Somewhere the ghosts of Edward R. Murrow and Eric Severeid are uncorking a bottle of Glenfiddich and saying “Can you believe this guy?”
Yeah…open mic night at the nut house and she is too busy trolling Ace and B5 to answer anyone and post the comments. Strong work. Yet still they defend here and feel she is justified. Damn I hope it gets televised.
Auuuuuuggghhh, I can’t look I can’t look I can’t look . . .
Will be paypalling you some more $$$ soon, Jeff. Lord, this woman is a loon.
I second that.
I’ll hit the tip jar again in the morning.
She’s going to make the lawyer’s work spectaularly easy, but they still charge by the hour.
No, wait that was supposed to be spectacularly.
Jeeze and I really like that word.
Those Sadly, No! cats just do not like me.
Which, more’s the pity. Because it makes them unappreciative of stuff like this when I drop it into their comments:
You know, I’m not usually a fan of some of the language used here.
But you guys are so funny, I want to go out and tell these jokes myself!
Of course I can’t. But still.
Sometimes, I even forget to blush.
Cuba. Isn’t that where Vita-meata-vege-min was invented? Lucy you have some esplaining to do!
Sorry, lunarpuff. The language is actually borrowed from other sites who accuse me of using it all the time.
Which forces me to use it. To ironize both it and them.
It’s a cycle of violence is what it is.
If the language bothers you, lunar–just do a “beep” when reading. Either that, or come over to the dark side. Or is the light? Or perhaps turquoise?
But I digress…
Somewhere in the not-too-distant future, we’ll be able to embed audio files into posts like this and make it ring out with, say, the Halleluiah Chorus or an Eric Cartman “Goddammit!!!” when we divulge that leftards don’t like us. (Sorry for the plural first person their, Jeff. But, I figure it HAS to be true).
Then and only then can we develop the truly killer PW drinking game to accompany each sounding of said audio file.
Not that I advocate heavy drinking. I just practice it.
I see.
Well, it would be good for me to be a little desensitized.
I hate being the only one in the room who looks embarassed.
Heehee.
I’ve done that.
But I can handle more now.
By god, I’m a grown ass woman! I can do this!
Lunar – Awhile back we tried sanitizing things a bit by inserting (excuse the imagery) the word “turkey” as a euphamism for every occurance of a penal reference. Problem is, things tend to lose they’re snarky bite when you do that, as in “you liberal turkey sucker…”, or “I’ve seen bigger turkeys than your’s on a cricket…”, ect. ect. But our hearts were in the right place, if not our hands.
TW: Long after Cuba is free, Fidel will be the everlasting shame of the American Left.
I can’t decide if it is irony or just coincidence, but have you noticed that World War Three is being fought for basically the same reason World War Two was fought? Imagined land disputes and the complete annihilation of Judaism. I know history repeats itself, but damn.
Hose – That’s because the Left’s favorite National socialist wasn’t able to kill off all the Judus in the first one. But they keep trying.
(Remember Komrads – Call everyone little Eichmann’s or you’ll blow our cover – Brought to you by Laika the Space dog – Beaming propaganda to tinhats everywhere since 1957!)
Big Bang,
I would never ever comment on a well established blog and expect anyone to change what they are doing just to make it comfortable for me.
I have lost interest in other sites (some of which are ridiculed here), but not this one.
I don’t ever feel offended, I think you guys are more creative than most with the language.
It’s funny every single time. I’m just not used to it being funny.
It’s not you, it’s me. And I hope we can still be friends!
Hose, it’s the same war as I and I with a couple of intermissions–like the brawl in The Quiet Man.
– That entire post was tongue in cheek Lunar… Just trying to make you feel at home, with or without the blush everyone thinks you’re cute and smart.
TW: It’s just our way of thumbing our nose’s at our ”learned” opposition’s snobbishness. They reek of projection.
II
I really don’t see what the problem is. I mean, just look at a map. You have the West Coast right? You also have the East Coast. Right smack dab in the middle is the Mid-West. Well, apparently, they ran out of room when making the maps and had to put the Mid-East all the way on the other side. there for the whol area is our anyway, so what the hell is the problem?
I thought so, but just in case anyone thought I was being a whiny brat…
And you guys are seriously, seriously funny.
And now I must sleep.
Hermosa is going to be exciting tomorrow and I have to get up early so I can call in sick on time!
And hello hosedragger!
Ooo…Hermosa Beach? You in Calif. too? And Hola
Yup, I’m here.
And I must sleep. But I’m not tired.
Well hi from So. Cal – ¿Cómo es usted muchacha dulce?
TW: Cuban sandwitches?… yes, yes….I thought I told you to wait in the car….
Nice “Aqua Teen Hunger Force” reference, there. Unless it wasn’t. Then it was a nice non-reference.
Seems like she who shall not be named was performing the usual Thursday Night Meltdown/Kibuki thing. Maybe escalation will include sepukku, one can only hope.
Had neither rum, nor Habanos, so had to make do with Bushmills 10 and some DRs.
Viva Cuba Libre!
And hello from Northern Calif. Well, today is Friday, so I am sure tonight will be a gas.
Free pickles and butter? Hell, you should have gone for broke and asked for a few croquetas.
All kidding aside though, I agree with some of the comments here equating the conservative Cuban community with the conservative Jewish community. We Miami Mafiosos are always getting bashed by the MSM simply because we tend to vote Republican and dont subscribe to the entitlement immigrant I want it all now crowd.
