Nope. I've been fighting in the jungle against those damn capitalist pigs. Don't got time to read.

Now time to take some dead sexy photographs with steaming mamacitas.

So, will you be able to handle both guerrilleras-mamacitas?

Hey what is a gringo? I've heard that before.

Gringo comes from griego which means Greek and in formerly Catholic Spain I think it would be a reference to the New Testament use of Greek to mean, "outsider" or "goyim".

Anyway, in science I use the metric system but in construction I use the Imperial system.

AFAIR gringo comes from a song they used in the battlefield "green grows" sounds like gringos.

Type "Kalister" into Google Image Search, and the first thing you get?

(Vote Kalister in 2008)

Also, I didn't know Kalister was a Scottish last name:
