Burritos for the Deaf
Mrs Lex10 was on the phone with me the other day and had the TV on mute. She stopped in mid conversation and rewound the DVR. That is when she was sure she discovered the secret ingredient to burritos.

Incidentally, they're off the menu henceforth.

More TJ Images + Wallpapers
Here's the experience:
In the haze of hawkers offering me souvenirs, pimps waving me over from a block away, Indians following me with handfuls of massive wooden rosaries, more pimps offering to hook me up with massages, (One, a leathery American with peggy teeth, even suggesting I could get just a massage, no sex, thereby circumventing my wife's psychic ability to detect deviltry. I thought gee, great, now if I don't catch an STD, get my wallet stolen and my ass kicked that massage will be great! Luckily for the leathery gent there is no shortage of horny gullible morons.), Vicodin, free peeks into strip clubs, offers for taxis because I must have looked unable to raise my hand in the air for some reason, disgruntled but talented Mariachis and offers to buy absinthe at no savings that I then could not bring back to the U.S. I still managed to capture a few images that poked me in the eye as ironic or beautiful.

This was not Mexico as far as I could tell. This was madness.

More dried fruit in the Dulces shop. Massive hunks of Calabash, squash, cactus, and more recognizable stuff:


A strange industrial-strength communication device whereby anyone on the street can call someone:


Lastly two images of the best souvenir in the universe:

Awesome Xmas Find: SANTA V. SATAN - Ole'
Saw this in Spanish years ago in the middle of the night, & wondered what the hell was going on. Ultra-compelling imagery - couldn't stop watching. We've talked about it every Christmas since. Now I'll be able to find out what's the deal.



Really wicked looking devil, machines with human lips, resourceful kids, and wild sets. I cannot friggin' wait!
