The Office

office1.jpg

For the past few months I’ve been watching this post stamp size space near the I-5 offramp, some older vato took it upon himself to make it into his living quarters. Unfortunately, as with all reclamations of unused land in this backwards world, some forces of control seem to have booted him out as the place some of us LH’ers have dubbed The Office since it is now vacant. The space itself kept undergoing constant redesign, with different pictures, signs, and artifacts being added or subtracted all the time. I took the above pic on the sly, the guy is sitting down behind that big metal box. I guess I could’ve asked if it was okay to take some pics, but I don’t like to bother people. It was interesting to see him get visitors, cars would pull up, honk, and hand him food or whatever, have a little chat, and then they’d be on their way. Oh well, it’s gone now. Click ahead to see what remains.

Doblajes de Trino

It’s amazing how quickly the internet can connect you to things you had no idea even existed. Check out this trajectory I happened upon today:
Bandini of The GreatTaco Hunt writes a post about a taco truck in Eagle Rock that has a veggie taco on the menu. Interesting. And they even have a myspace page. Scrolling down thru the comments, one of their friends embeds a hilarious video clip détournement of the sci-fi tv show Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea only this reworking is focused on themes of homosexuality, janitors that are tired of cleaning up shit, a werewolf that needs to take a crap, and finally a message to use condoms to help fight aids, and all of it in Spanish. Lots of sick jokes later, and non-stop laughter on my part, I do a search to figure out who the hell is responsible for this tasteless but hilarious video. Turns out this and other clips were part of the Mexican tv show Blanco y Negro, where Trino, now known for many of his comic strip characters, did lots of reworkings of old video clips.

Huevos Rancheros: Fanny’s Restaurant

hr_fannys_front.jpg

Now, now, kids, let’s not start laughing at the name of this restaurant, we are here for some serious gastronomic research, there will be none of this silly and juvenile snickering at the poor choice in name by some local restaurant owner. (Ha, ha, he said fanny!) Besides, we’ve already done that. Well, sort of, since this one is on Main St. and not on Broadway like the other one, but there seems to be some sort of connection between the two according to this sign..

Spotted on a street in LH, some sort of comical IED. So this terrorist comic walks into a bar and proclaims “I’m going to bomb!”

Groan.
