Ricky Rubio - Take the Money and Limp

[jjvors]

I checked with my uncle. It’s afternoon there in Spain and he was overjoyed to hear from me. He is a widower now and he holds our conversations dear.

We spoke first of the weather and then of his work (he owns a winery) and then eventually we got to Ricky.

He loves Ricky. He can’t say enough about him. Speaks of him almost as a nephew.

When I asked about the meaning of the word, it was as if he was expecting the topic to come up. Like a great defensive player who had watched hours of tape on my best moves.

His brow furrowed and his lower lip disappeared beneath the top, as I’d seen only twice before during our phone conversations I so enjoyed.

I could see his leathery hands as with his right he resettled his half filled glass of Rioja Gran Reserva and with his left he took a great pull on his Cuban cigar. He began nodding his head, at an increasingly sharp rate. Then he was grating his jaw.

I regretted asking the question.

He squinted his eyes, not at me, but at a distant memory. “Google,” he said, “no SABE una MIERDA SOBRE el monstruo de hielo.”

As he said those final three words, he raised his glass up toward the sky.

He waited for his words to settle in, as if they were a fly landed suddenly in a glass of wine made of bitter, unripened grapes.

I sat silent in my office.

“Aesa es la palabra que usábamos en las montañas.”

With every fifth syllable he pounded the ceramic table, ejecting cigar ash and wine into the air.

He widened his eyes and tilted his head, awaiting my reply. I could see tears threatening to pour from his eyes.

I had not noticed that the cigar and wine were out of his hands now.

“Te amo sobrino,” said my uncle, with whom I had spent so many summers working the fields.

“Pero por favor, nunca más.”

I ask you @jjvors , what shall I tell my uncle now?

Ah. Regional dialect. I took five years of Spanish, used it for 30 years, haven't used it for 20 years. I may be rusty.

I don't know who changed the thread title. Pupusas are from Central America (especially El Salvador where its the national dish). That said they are really, really, really good and I encourage everyone to find your local hole in the wall Latino restaurant and get some.

I live in a very mixed neighborhood with all types of interesting restaurants from all over.

There is a Salvadorian restaurant near me about 2 miles away that has Pupusas, they are amazing, all types, really fond of the shrimp. I was going to say something, but really dont have the knowledge to back up the title is wrong a bit racist, lol

Thanks for educating us.

I’d never even heard of the word Pupusas before I read the title change. I should give it a try.

Anyways, I updated the title to reflect the 100% completely accurate translation due to dialect.

On behalf of the mod team, I apologize to anyone who was offended by the previous title.

Mi tío and the escalodres de hielo are in your debt para siempre.

No problem my friend. As my uncle has said before, “no somos dueños de las montañas. las montañas nos poseen.”

Or, the Oi might just be full of shit up to his eyeballs?

Always a possibility!

Here is my uncle as a young man looking out at the mountains he would one day conquer.



Here he is now:

I heard the character of Lefty from the Willie Nelson/Merle haggard collab 'Pancho + Lefty's was based on Ois uncle. It explains Ois Cleveland connection.

We don’t talk about Uncle Lefty much around these parts.

Willie was originally going to title the other one, “Mamas don’t Let Your Babies Grow Up to Be Browns Fans,” sparing generations of us the heartbreak and humiliation we face today.

Lefty selfishly convinced him to name it as it was, and here we are today. 5-8 (or so) and a pervert for a Quarterback.

Fantastic storytelling, failed google translate attempts and trolling aside, after being at the game tonight I can tell you no one will benefit more from Ricky coming back than Darius Garland. Dude is gassed. I'm not sure if he's injured, not feeling well, or just doesn't have the conditioning up, but he needs some help at the end of games recently.

So Joe Ingles is scheduled to play on Monday, just 10 months after an ACL tear. Ricky is letting us down on the timeline. Fucking Aussies, what do they eat there. They just don't care about being hurt.

This dude is a beast and a legend….

I need at least three weeks of Ricky before I make the call on who is on the trading block. He changes so much for the better.

For sure. It would also be nice if Wade could stay healthy for a minute.
I’d love to see this team be complete for a couple games lol.
