More More More Gypsies!

I have a good feeling about this year for gypsies. It feels like they're everywhere!

Here is more of the Farruquito saga, as discussed by two of my favorite people on the planet.

This is so entertaining and confusing.
1. how did he have time to become famous, run someone over and get married to a gipsy woman?
2. are gipsy women mixed in with the men in Spanish prison? If not, how did the two meet?
3. They did the handkerchief test in jail?
4. Am I stupid?
I could not read the elmundo article. I think because I do not subscribe to elmundo, it was in Spanish?
do you have any pictures of the wife? I would like to see a proper gipsy lady, not just the kind that curse turistas.
thank you,

Dear Rachel,

I hope this clarifies your questions:

1. He is heir to the "Farrucos" family knowledge and tradition. They are a renowned dynasty of Flamenco dancers. Hence his name "Farruquito" (little Farruco). Here is a video where you can see how gipsies start dancing and learning knife skills at a very young age at family parties and weddings http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x3vsdm_fiesta-gitana-boda-de-farruquito-y_music

2. Men are woman are kept in separate jails. Gipsy weddings are arranged by the families and the bride and groom do not need to know each other necessarily. A picture is enough.

3. The handkerchief test was performed by Farruquito's mother in the privacy of the Farruco family house

4. No, this is very confusing if you are foreign. I am attaching a wedding picture of the bride and groom so you can have a better understanding of gipsy fashion style. The last one is Farruquito and his mother, the domineering matriarch in the ceremony. It's bousy.

Nude It!

1. Fact: This is the #1 downloaded application on Kuwaiti iTunes.

Seriously, Kuwait? I liked you better when you were being invaded--you were more sympathetic and less lame.

2. I think this is Celia from America's Next Top Model:

I think she's just terrific.

3. The comments leave me confused--if these people are blind and retarded, why do they have iPhones?

I don't know what Georgepouts expected based on the advertisement, but he should stop being such a little bitch. (You thought I was going to say he should stop pouting, yes?)

4. The word "shet" will now be a permanent fixture in my vocabulary.

And who's the jackoff who didn't find that review helpful?

That's it for now--I have to go take a shet, and I'm not even making that up. I'm gonna do the kenken while I'm shetting.

Jury Doodie

I think it is fairly obvious that I am not an ideal candidate.

something perfect just drops in your lap. I received this email today. No context is necessary.

Dear Rachel,

You had some trouble telling real gipsies from fake ones when we were in Spain so I am sending a picture of a real one. This was on the news today ( http://www.elmundo.es/elmundo/2010/01/12/cultura/1263311606.html ). In a nutshell, the guy in the picture ran someone over and killed him three years ago while he was driving around without a license (he was 14). He drove away but someone saw what happened and the police caught him and put him in prison. Three years later he is free and his family went to jail to pick him up, you can see them in the picture. He is a very famous flamenco dancer. Also, he got married while he was serving in jail to a gipsy woman. She was subject to the white handkerchief test before the wedding, just the way a proper gipsy wedding should be. I thought you would like to know this. If you had had your waxing done in Zaragoza I believe you would have been subject to the handkerchief test too. For more information, google "Farruquito". Happy new year!

Steve, I think this is blog material
