interesting little fact that i found this weekend following spanish language tweets about Venezuela: The current socialist president of Venezuela is named MADURO. I kept seeing tweets referring to MABURRO, and was momentarily confused, until i figured out that much like freepers who refer to obama as ODUMBO, they had reconfigured his name to MaBURRO bc burro is obv donkey in spanish.
I like it. So human to do that.
Maybe Madburro would be a better name for him. I tried to get the spouse to take today off. He is really sick with a nasty cold but he refuses to malinger so he’s going in and will rest tomorrow on his day off. He rested all weekend but the cold got him anyway.
It must be quite an accomplishment to be able to understand (and even tell) jokes in another language. Our Columbian (first year) priest is getting good at it. His English has progressed to the point that the congregation laughs right on beat when he includes a joke in his homilies. A year ago, everybody used to just sit there with blank looks on their faces. We all love Fr. Blanco.
