Thanks all. I have my moments.

BlueEyesWolf · 2008-08-14 06:32:28

Maximus:"Greetings, lobocursor!"

BlueEyesWolf · 2008-08-21 06:49:30

Maximus:"Hmm...Well, my bloodline goes way back to Greece looong ago. Yes, that whole labyrinth thing but one of my ancestors escaped from there, stowed away on the Argo, started a clan that went across Europe, and finally my family immigrate to America just when the Statue of Liberty was brand new. Years passed and here I am."

WolfVanZandt · 2008-08-30 04:41:26

Somebody knows about Mike Oldfield? Cool! His stuff is great.

I hope your family is not the like of the "My big fat greek weeding" that would Be hilarious.

Had you heard about Mike Oldfield sometime?

Maximus:"Nah, we lost our Greekness when we were spread over Europe for centuries before my immediate family moved to America. Mike Oldfield?"

BlueEyesWolf · 2008-09-02 07:50:49

Maximus:"Nice to know but what that have to do with us Minotaurs?"

He made some songs called Taurus, part 1, part 2 and part 3. At it seems he used bulls as inspiration, so I think on you when I play them in my mp3 player. Hehe.

Maximus:"Really?" "I think of you, Blue and myself when listening to The Three Caballeros from the 1945 Disney animated/live-action feature of the same name"

Maximus:"Born and grew up in America, yep"

BlueEyesWolf · 2008-09-13 07:04:16

Well, The Three Caballeros was made in 1945 and that was the thinking in those days when Disney didn't know that much about the cultures in Mexico & Latin American. He, like the rest of us, was still learning and was more like a tourist when making both The Three Caballeros and Saludos Amigos (Made earlier in 1943)

There was a fuss over Speedy Gonzales a few years ago just because he was a Mexician mouse but I don't see anything stereotypical about him. True that he had an eye for pretty female mice but apart from that, he helped other mice who were having problems with Sylvester the Cat, Daffy Duck and other troublemakers. My favorite was Tortilla Flaps (1958) where he stopped Senor Vulturo from spoiling the mice' fiesta and I liked the way the bird got it in the end. Heh-heh-heh...

I thought Mucha Lucha was very imaginative in the way they built a world around masked wrestlers.

Are you asking if Maximus can play a guitar? I never thought of him doing that. I think he, like me, is more of a drummer.

I remember that, Speedy Gonzales is very popular in Mexico and several people was mad at the people that supported this bad. There is a Twist song made in 60's for Speedy Gonzales and his cartoons are popular since he always beat that "gato gringo loco" which is Sylvester.

Yep, I like Speedy since he is such a postive character.

From wikipedia I recall some characters like Frito Bandito and well maybe some of the can be offensive. I think that for manage stereotypes you need to play wise with it, some people likes parts the stereotype and hate others. So the right formula is the best way to sucess here

Oh yes, The Frito Bandito. I remember him riding on a donkey, shooting away wildly and stealing the potato chips from the townfolks. He didn't last long after that.

They only exaggerate in the way that the kids use masks in the school and are superheores. But yes is a professional career in mexico and you must hide your id if you are one. The kids in Mucha lucha are "tecnicos" or good boys. The "rudos" are the bad guys, they behave like old rock stars *grins*

Interesting!

Both:"What secret plan?"

Really? They don't think that you're an American because of your white skin?

a lot of people is lazy. Somebody use the mexican sterotype of the big hat men behind a catcus for point that we need to be different from that.

Ironically that is the stereotype that I remember the most. It's always a little guy having a siesta by a cactus with his big sombrero covering his face and sometimes with a donkey next to him, asleep too, of course.

Maximus:" Hmmmmmmmm....as much as I like the beach, I'm mosty a bodybuilder."

Maximus:"Happy Dia De Los Muertos, wolfcursor !"

BlueEyesWolf · 2008-11-16 08:58:35

Oh, perdone.

BlueEyesWolf · 2008-12-03 07:49:20

Oh good.

BlueEyesWolf · 2008-12-19 07:48:41

Maybe it's those?

*Shows lobocursor my toothy smile*

Especially when this happens...

*Holds candy in front of me to make myself drool wildly*

You don't see Minotaurs doing that.

Vince, the 3rd · 2008-12-19 21:05:56

if i'm not mistaken, a minotaur is a figure in greek mythology as an offspring of a human and a bull. it was placed in a labyrinth built bu daedalus and was assigned to kill anyone who enters the said maze.

WolfVanZandt · 2008-12-19 23:51:04

yeah, that should frighten most people.....

WolfVanZandt · 2008-12-19 23:55:46

BTW, Vertigo comics had a series that speculated that the minotaur was actually a deformed son of Minos that he was so ashamed of that he placed him in the maze and started the rumor of the Minotaur to cover it up. The youths from Athens were actually used for a time as the son's attendants and then killed so they couldn't spread the rumor.

It was called The Minotaur's Tale and was a very touching story about the issues surrounding disabled people and personal worth.

BlueEyesWolf · 2008-12-21 08:00:41

Really? Interesting.

BlueEyesWolf · 2008-12-22 04:51:25

Aha, see? No one ever said that to Minotaurs.

Poncho · 2008-12-30 16:49:11

how about "Got Milk"? Actually all jokes aside, minotaurs rule. Jokes included, the beef burger that bites back.

BlueEyesWolf · 2008-12-31 08:47:14

NOW he says nice things about Minotaurs.....
