it's Big's way of telling us he was an officer.

I bet he knows the D.R. "is surrounded by water. Big water. Ocean water" on the north, east, and south.

Thank you, Sir. But I ONLY remember trivial stuff, and nothing worth remembering.

:ROFLMAO:

Those of us "in the know" remember VP Biden visiting the D.R. in 2014. Those of us who really know... know that VP Hubert Humphrey visited the D.R. in '66. NY Governor, Nelson Rockefeller, visited in 1969, 4 years after the invasion and, thus, the chant (and accompanying graffiti), "Fuera...

Dominican version of James Brown's "I Got You (I Feel Good)": Yo quiero mangú Hoy me siento bien Te lo di-go o-tra vez: Hoy me siento bien Porque co-mo man-gú Mangú, mangú Hoy co-mo man-gú (Ta ra ra ra ra ra rá) Con agua-cate y con salami Y con queso de freir Mangú, mangú Hoy co-mo man-gú

Yeah: imagine "Bron-Y-Aur Stomp" with a merengue beat. Not only would I deny my Dominicaness; I'd never return to the land of Fefita la grande, Guandulito, and El cieguito de Nagua. That's akin to losing your keys out of your old blue dungarees and never going "to Texas anymore." (I just made...

Yes. And I've asked her. Her reply: "That's where I feel I belong" or "I feel better there." She's told me her Venezuelan friends are very caring. They embraced her soon after arriving there, and treated her and her young daughter like family.

Not even close: she's a law-abiding, 70-year-old grandmother who moved to Venezuela in the early-1980s.

And it represented somewhat of a comeback for Lavoe. I was Lavoe when Lavoe wasn't cool (with permission from Barbara Mandrell). After his death and the subsequent documentaries, he became everyone's favorite Salsa singer.

When Rubén Blades was asked if he was pressured into letting Héctor Lavoe record "El Cantante," he said he was skeptical at first, but then realized that Lavoe's situation at the time resembled or identified with the lyrics. Others still maintain that Fania Records and Willie Colón pressured...

Thousands of Dominicans moved to Venezuela in the 1970s and 1980s. Many still remain there. I know a Dominican who prefers to live in the land of Simón Bolívar than in the D.R... even now.

My turn: Selena's "Fotos y recuerdos" is the Spanish version of Chrissie Hinde and The Preteders' "Back on the Chain Gang." "Love Hurts" was sung in Spanish by Yndio.

All we need now is Jethro Tull's "Aqualung" as a bachata tune or a perico ripiao version of Procol Harum's "Conquistador" If that ever happens, I'll renounce my Dominican citizenship, CARAJO!

And instead of that yellow VW Beetle, Joe Walsh would be doing one eighty-five in his Maserati.

Guilty on the ponytail. But I'm too weird and traditional to wear earrings, and weed would just exacerbate my deep paranoia... or so I've been told. Besides, I'm already goofy-looking as it is: imagine this pinko-commie, tree-hugging, Bernie Sanders-worshipping, and prieto, pobre, viejo...

Maduro, too, is weird. Oh! Meant to write 'Maduro is weird, too.'

It's the lure of easy money, and the supposedly greener grass. I've known many Dominicans--even some close relatives--who have made the trip, some are U.S. citizens now, while others are back in Dominicana, some vouching never to try again, and others planning to do it again. And now there...

Lower caste dominicano here (and aceite verde lover AND Aguilucho by the grace of the FSM), and I absolutely love how cibaeños talk. In fact, I enjoy listening to "ghetto" Dominican Spanish speakers and how campesinos talk, than the stupid way the so-called journalists speak, with their stupid...
