Odio Frank
Posted by Frank J. at 12:19 PM | View blog reactions | Comments (31)

I found this comment to my Know Thy Enemy: Hamas post by a Tupac Amaru:

Seguro que tu eres un pinche gringo puñetero que no tiene nada mas que hacer parte de huevear de la lucha por libertad por los palestinos. Si tu no estuvieras un cabron culeao, tal vez tu podria tener amigos parte de los perros que te aman solamente porque hueles como un jamon. HASTA LA VICTORIA SIEMPRE Y VIVA LATINOAMERICA! UNIDOS VENCEREMOS CONTRA LOS PINCHES GRINGOS PUÑETERAZOS. SI QUIEREN PAZ HABRA PAZ, PERO SI QUIEREN GUERRA, NO TENEMOS MIEDO A LA GUERRA

So I was like, "Wow! Even Spanish speaking people love IMAO!", but then I got back this translation from Margarita, official IMAO translator:

Surely you are a asshole gringo that has nothing more to do than bother with the fight for the liberty of the palestinians. If you weren't such a horse's ass, you could have friends other than the dogs that love you only because you are an ass. UNTIL THE VICTORY AND LIVE THE LATINOAMERICANOS FOREVER. TOGETHER WE WILL CONQUER THE GRINGO ASSHOLES. IF YOU WANT PEACE, THEN THERE WILL BE PEACE, BUT IF YOU WANT WAR, WE ARE NOT AFRAID OF FIGHTING!

Hey! That wasn't a very nice thing to say at all!

Since I don't know how well the guy's English skills are, I've decided to write back to him in Spanish. I've been wanting to learn that language, and now is a good time for practice. Unfortunately, I only know one verb, "es", but hopefully through capitalization and exclamation points, I can get my emotion across by using every single Spanish word I know:

El pollo diablo es agua chimichanga, muchacho! Loco queso es MORTE OCHO!

Que?

Andale. Andale.

Arriba! Arriba!

YEE-HAH!

Grazie,
Frank J.

That'll learn him. I'll tell you if he responds.

You forgot Tequila, Tecate, Corona, Dos Equis, Jose Cuervo...

Si. Senor Blackfive is right. Titicaca, crappachino, and bungholio were also left out. And yes, I learned spanish from Beavis and Butthead's Great Cornholio, so I know those are all real words.

#2 - Posted by: Mike the Marine on September 5, 2003 12:51 PM

Yo quiero IMAO!
Yo quiero Frank J.!

Yep, that's about all the Spanish I know.

¡Tengo gusto mucho de tequila y de la cerveza! ¿Dónde están los
hombres?

I took French in High School, and on a good day I could probably hold a conversation with a 3 year old. Un, deux, troi, quatre, cinq, six, sept, huit, neuf, dix.

#5 - Posted by: Cloaknblade on September 5, 2003 01:22 PM

Tupac Amaru? That rings a bell...

Ah!

What kind of terrorists operate in Peru? There are two main rebel groups operating in Peru, both leftist: the Maoist Shining Path (known in Spanish as Sendero Luminoso) and the Cuban-inspired Tupac Amaru Revolutionary Movement (Movimiento Revolucionario Tupac Amaru).
http://www.terrorismanswers.com/groups/shiningpath.html

I'm sure it's just a coincidence...

#6 - Posted by: Syd Barrett on September 5, 2003 01:43 PM

Remember the key to communicating with people who don't speak English: LOUD and SLOW. If they still don't understand, just repeat it louder and slower until they get it.

Thus, you should have put your reply in all caps, and maybe bold as well.

#7 - Posted by: Mister Green on September 5, 2003 01:50 PM

Mister Green,

What does a yellow light mean?

Slow down!

WHAT....DOES.....A.....YELLOW.....LIGHT.....MEAN?

#8 - Posted by: MonkeyPants on September 5, 2003 02:31 PM

Shouldn't that be muerte ocho instead of morte? Cause the way you have it, it just doesn't make sense. Dead eight makes more sense, and any spanish-speaking person will immediatley recognize the gist of the statement after the clarification.
Although I believe the original spanish masterpeice said
"loco ocho es muerte queso"
which may seem odd to hear, but remember that Inquisiton-era Spanish was much more formal.

Viva la pistolero bandito Francisco J. con carne, Si!

"Viva la pistolero bandito Francisco J. con carne, Si!"
That sounds so good, I believe you should have a contest, with the winner having their slogan replace your current one for a day. Please, please, please?

#10 - Posted by: Squirrel on September 5, 2003 02:46 PM

I guess the fact that the word gringo was in the original post should've tipped you off. Well, such is life.

#11 - Posted by: Hondo on September 5, 2003 04:30 PM

Gringo is so dated. As an Anglo-American I prefer the newer, more hip epithets, like Blanc-er, Marshmallow, or Pinky. Bleached monkey is also cool.

#12 - Posted by: Ken N. on September 5, 2003 05:13 PM

Gringo es tan fechó. Como un de Americano Anglo yo prefiero el más nuevo, más epítetos de cadera, como urgencias de Blanc, como el Malvavisco, o como Pinky. El mono blanqueado es también fresco.

You really should have included an "Olé" in there to really drive your point across.

#14 - Posted by: Paul Jané on September 5, 2003 05:53 PM

Pollo diablo sounds tasty. You should enjoy it with some fava beans and a nice Bustamante.

#15 - Posted by: CANCER on September 5, 2003 06:43 PM

Tupac Amaru? Sounds about four short of a full six-pack.

#16 - Posted by: Ernie G on September 5, 2003 08:27 PM

Can't you picture this guy, Frank? There he is sitting in front of his Imac, wearing his Che Guevara t-shirt and Birkenstocks, typing his furious message on your blog. Of course, he had to stop when his mom asked him to get the keys to her Volvo, fetch a gallon of ice cream for dessert, and pick up his little brother at soccer practice. Hey, he has to do something to earn his keep! He's a 35 year old college student living in his parent's basement!

#17 - Posted by: Frank L. on September 5, 2003 08:57 PM

You guys are all wrong. Amaru is the middle name of Tupac Shakur. Apparently he got sent to hell and is being used to punish a bunch of hispanics by forcing them to hang out with him. I just wonder what the poor hispanics did to deserve such a fate? They must have run a bus load of Nuns off a cliff. As a result Tupac can only type in Spanish now. Yup that is it, Tupac Amaru Shakur is back and will soon resume his career by rapping in Spanish.

#18 - Posted by: MensaMan on September 5, 2003 09:15 PM

I think he has a weird fixation on your ass.

#19 - Posted by: Vince on September 5, 2003 09:27 PM

Did you know the French word (damn them all to Dantes Inferno)Jambon means Ham in English? I know this means absolutly nothing to you but the monkeys keep sending out their rays from my computer...

#20 - Posted by: Justin on September 5, 2003 11:05 PM

Si tu no estuvieras un cabron culeao, tal vez tu podria tener amigos parte de los perros que te aman solamente porque hueles como un jamon.

Justin's right about jambon/jamon. This more literally translates into: if you weren't such a male goat's ass, maybe you'd have friends apart from the dogs that love you only because you smell like a ham.

There, now--that's not so bad, is it?

#21 - Posted by: paul on September 5, 2003 11:37 PM

One way I have found to test the laungauge skills of those who say 'no comprende' is to reply with
'Comprende AssWhuppin'
The results have been the ability to instantly speak and understand English!

#22 - Posted by: Hujonwi on September 6, 2003 02:41 AM

The limit of my bilingualism is the fact that I speak English and I can also communicate with people from Arkansas.

#23 - Posted by: LibertyBob on September 6, 2003 04:36 PM

What? Latinos don't speak latin? Next you'll tell me there's no such country as Hispania.

#24 - Posted by: curtis kreutzberg on September 7, 2003 12:12 AM

Tupac Amaru: You ready to be fucked man? I see you rolled your way into the semis. Dios mio, man. Liam and me, we're gonna fuck you up.

IMAO readers: Yeah, well, that's just, like, your opinion, man.

Tupac Amaru: Let me tell you something, pendejo. You pull any of your crazy shit with us, you flash a piece out on the lanes, I'll take it away from you, stick it up your ass and pull the fucking trigger 'til it goes "click."

IMAO Readers: Jesus.

Tupac Amaru: You said it man. Nobody fucks with the Jesus.

Frank: Eight year-olds, Dude.

#25 - Posted by: on September 7, 2003 02:56 PM

El Pollo Diablo?

Could it be... The Curse of Monkey Island?

#26 - Posted by: Sam on September 8, 2003 09:29 AM

Sam,
Good catch. I was wondering if anyone would know the reference.

#27 - Posted by: Frank J. on September 8, 2003 10:23 AM

Me toquadisco esta descompuesto.

#28 - Posted by: JamesT on September 8, 2003 11:32 AM

Bonus Anus...

That is Spanish, isn't it?

#29 - Posted by: alfredo stroessner on September 12, 2003 10:44 PM

No cerveza, no trabajo. My motto.

Y'all some weirdos... get off the sherm man
