Ad didn't say, I'll check. You're not suggesting a pillar of the community like me would engage in contraband are you?:o

I have to stay that wondered aloud to Bajamigo about Ind Day...but we thought, NO, Way too early; but I guess this birthday is an allowable event to start those sales early; nothing like a cracked windshield to go along with that Mex Flag!

You know Dave would never suggest anything like that! However, should you show up with a few I am sure he would give you--oh! about an 80%--20% split on the profit, Sure, you just know who would get the lion share.

You know being a 'pilla' doesn't hold any water with him.

My favorite Zapata story


The governor and the local people are having land issues and Zapata rides his horse into the governor's office. He notices a large gold watch on the governor's desk, and after some haggling, tells the governor: if you don't give the people back their land, I am going to take your gold watch. People got some land back. Silly but true story.

So...what are they asking? Limited edition...how many?

I could sell all you brung me. :rolleyes:


Dropped by "Esprago's" today to renew my license before the opener. Thought about picking up half a dozen to bring you but was just a leetle bit shy of change. They are going for $3,899.00 USD. They shore are purdy tho. Black with inlaid gold, Emiliano's name and likeness on one side, a representation of Kukulcan and EZ's most famous quote on the other: "Es mejor morir de pie que vivir de rodillas".

I was thinkin like $1,750. Still, if they were limited edition I might buy one. Love the quote. Tailor-made for the side of a pistol. Except... Whoever was staring at the business end would probably be the one on his knees. ;D
