OhhhMan....Have you ever been at the SY gates at around 4-AM Saturday or Sunday morning, before the Passport suggestion was put in place? It was a
sight to behold. After the bars on Revo closed, the gang-bangers from NOB headed home after a night of eighteen year old revelry.
Lots of cars, more than normal for that time, with people hanging out the windows barfing like winos.......fist fights going on all over the
place....horns honking.
Made you proud to be an American.

And the surfing chimp statues. I got one of those for my brother for his birthday. Told him it was the closest thing I could find to an actual
statue of him surfing. |
That's cold

Fell asleep in line a few times. The car behind you starts honking like crazy. Never did get arrested for DUI, although a couple of friends did.

OK...No fire eaters at the line.
How about the 6 year old kids who stand there and belt out a Ranchera Ballad at the top of their little lungs? That's always worth a buck or two from
me. |
Ya know- I miss them too Dennis. Def worth a buck. Those kids sing their hearts out. Maybe they are there on Saturday or Sunday afternoons when
more tourists are passing through. Hope so. |
Many of these little amigos are Oaxacan and I've read where they are forced to go out and sing/beg for money. Sadly, many are also victims of child
predators. |
Are you sure you're not confused with Slumdog Millionaire? Yeah, I know all third world countries have many abused kids, women and whole families.
I've watched some of the border kids grow up over the years and they are still there. It's the money, not slavery. Not giving them a buck doesn't
improve their day any. At least they are entertaining me and not just banging a Styrofoam cup against my car window.

Seriously, you'd have to see him surf. Have you ever seen a gibbon walk? Very similar in style.

I hope it's nothing like that statue in San Diego of "Kiki The Hospital Attendant" on a surf board.
