Slightly O/T.......

I took Spanish courses all through High School. After I joined the Navy, my 1st overseas deployment took me to Spain. I was so excited to be able to use my language skill.

Imagine my surprise when I discovered I'd been taught Mexican.

Seems that Castillian/Adalusian Spanish versus Mexican Spanish is like American English versus British English. All sorts of interesting nuances, slang, etc. That, plus the Andalusians lisp the "S" too.

Hacerias sido una paja. j/k
 
una tortilla con las patatas, tomates, jamón y queso, por favor.

I was certainly surprised to see that "tortilla" referred to an omelette.
 


I, Rasputin-ker, summon El Monte Hall-icheck...bring me the head of El Gordo Wrecksoro!!!!

.....looks like Kevin Youkilis in drag:scared:
 
Just thought I'd throw this out there. "Los chorros de chupar y chupa los dedos rex', ( The jets suck and rex sucks toes :singing: ) I do like " the El Monje" handle though
 
How about this?


That's great! But Welker looks a bit odd on that woman's body. Maybe that should be Gisele instead?
 
nah..put Sanchez instead....he's a little girlish anyway
 
Seems to me that it should be BB's woman there on the left.
 
Ironically funny that in Mexico Rex Ryan's nickname is "El Pudgy"

I just think it's ironic that in both languages he's a fiend for pies.

I really hope nobody used this joke already.
 
El Monje is Spanish for "The Monk." Supposedly, because of the way BB wears his hood. Rapaport tweets this via @ipatriot but spells it as one word.

Did you all realize that in Great Britain, his name is Bill?
