Fruity Gordo posted:what is it that pisses bulls off so much? i have lots of experience with cows but bulls weren't my area bc we were dairy country. like. all the dude cows were always removed and only a few were used for stud Funny thing is that they (only specific breeds of Spanish bulls) were just always this way and have never really been tamed like other cattle so they live on huge pastures and are cared for by humans like a bunch of kings. And through selective breeding over a thousand years are more pissed off than ever. Fun misogynist fact: the breeder tests how brave a bull is by how pissed off the mother is, not the father.

Fruity Gordo posted:i'm probably p hardline about the DONT EAT poo poo UNLESS YOU CAN KILL IT stuff bc i grew up in farming country and my best friend as a kid was a hare krishna. but i still think it's a pretty legit way to be bc it makes you question where your poo poo comes from and whether it's worth saving 50 cents to give a dollar to cruel motherfuckers. like i'm poor but im not so poor that i can't try to buy poo poo that isnt totally evil The best meat I've ever had was a roasted suckling pig on a retired bullfighters ranch that he killed and cleaned that morning. Every time I go to Spain then back to the USA I can't eat meat for about 4 months because the poo poo here makes me sick.

Hangovers are caused by the brain drying up a teeny bit and contracting which hurts a bunch. Vitamin B supposedly helps as well, but water has always been enough for me. just drink a bunch of pedialyte before you sleep or the next morning. unless you're dating a nurse and have access to iv bags then that will trump pedialyte

One of the most American things you can do is to tenuously grasp onto the cultural identity of your immigrant great grandparents and scream an shout how you're Irish or something but the only person in your family who's ever stepped foot in Ireland died before hitler killed a Buncha Polska

Shannonmcn posted:I'd like to know why it's always Ireland? North and south are both broken crappy places to live in comparison to most other places in the world. Belfast got a Hollister there a few years ago and there are still 30 minute queues outside it some Saturdays because we have so loving little to get excited about. I don't know either but that's the largest stereotype aside from Italians. The polish are usually low key about it though. And it's really funny how American some Irish girls try to be. I knew one when I lived in Spain that was straight from Dublin who spray tanned and even watched American football.

Shannonmcn posted:Spray tanning is not exclusively an American thing. I'd say at least 70% of girls who go out on the weekends here are using fake tan. My friend went to an all-girls school in Derry and has so many stories of girls topping up their tan between classes or skipping Friday to do their tan for that night or getting rained on and their sunshimmer runs down their legs and stains their white socks orange. It's a weird epidemic, probably caused by seeing everyone on TV with the Californian tan, whether from the US or not. Or watching Neighbours where everyone is orange. I was usually too lazy, now I embrace my paleness. Lol so it's as widespread as I thought because all her friends seemed ganguro levels of orange too but they were from somewhere in the midlands of England iirc and all dressed like sorostitutes.

One thing that infuriated me when I lived in Spain is that all the American girls would only go to the chintzy bars where everyone played beer pong and no one have a poo poo about doing local things like drinking wine or being unemployed.

Summer of 2012 I spent most of July drunk in a little bodega downing 75 centimo glasses of local sherry while reading books then walking around on the beach. In Seville they served wine in these little baby wine glasses and at least at the beach village bodega it was served in the normal tiny beer glasses.

Barcelona is the euro version of LA and isn't Spain compared to Grenada or Seville. Cool wine cocktails for you girls to try: Tinto de verano; cheap red wine mixed with a gaseola like casera Blanca (or club soda I guess). Or you can approx sangria with red wine with lemon and/or orange soda. Rebujito; dry sherry with 7-up. Typical feria drink and is way more potent than it tastes and is the only way I'll dance flamenco. Serve both cold an iced.

Fruity Gordo posted:spanish manlove what kind of spanish do you speak predominantly? i only have passable castellano and i'm going to cuba at the end of the year for a working holiday and cuban spanish is heavily canary-influenced. i was planning on practicing cuban spanish this year anyway but if you have any experience with the different languages i'd be interested in your wisdoms They'll understand you pretty well though some vocabulary is different. I know Castilian is a little more rude compared to Latin America, at least in Florida I greatly offended a guy at a Cuban diner by saying "me pone un cafesito" instead of "me puede dar un cafesito" because I was use to the former. It should be te same in Cuba proper so mind your manners. Oh and Spain is still really sexist, but not as bad as it used to be. People no longer think of my mom as a mutant for not wanting to be locked in a kitchen 24/7 but it's still bad. I blame the moors.

bathroom sounds posted:I don't think of cheese when I think of Spain. Have I been missing out? Spanish cheese owns really hard. You can get semi-decent manchego at whole foods but the price you pay for a tiny slice there is what half a wheel costs in Spain. The older it is the drier and more pungent it tastes. Pair with aged charcuterie, olives with pits and a dry white wine. Bar sangria is pig slop that they give to tourists so get a tinto at a bar or a beer. Home made sangria is the best and usually reserved for big parties. I can try to get my aunt's recipe for everyone but it's seriously just chopped fruit, red wine, brandy, cognac, and sugar that's been mixed and refrigerated for a few days.
