Ramblings

One night, while waiting for one of our millions of rosaries to end, my cousin John Boy (yes, I can't say John without the Boy part) and I decided that we'd run for political office (NOT!), just for the heck of it. If you know me, this is completely out of character, but hey, it served for some pretty good laughs. Please excuse the image of clam chowder, it is purely there to trigger some sort of conditioned response out of John Boy:)

Possible Campaign Slogans
#1 YOU KNEW THEM SINCE MUCUS!
#2 BECAUSE IT CAN'T GET ANY WORSE THAN IT ALREADY IS
#3 WE'LL CLEAN UP THE PASEO AND ABOLISH CLAM CHOWDER

#1- For all the non-Chamorros, let me explain. Mucus is literally translated into mucus, only Chamorros pronounce it MOO-KOOS (like you're such a moo-"woos"). Yes, it means snot or:

mu·cus n: the clear slimy lubricating substance consisting mostly of mucins and water that coats and protects mucous membranes

Knowing someone since mucus means knowing them since they were little and running around with snot running down their nose. It implies a family history, deep trust, and a close relationship. Whew!

#2- Do I really need to explain?

#3- OK, this one? You had to be there:)
