You know we are just going to end up calling him Alice eh. I second it.

You can get anything you want at Alice's Restaurant - excepting Alice! (with apologies to Senor Arlo)

Please note that in the original thread Hycle and Dr. Rich were considered robust enough and wide enough to be included in the group.... If you are looking for extra weight, Mike (Hycle) and I are a considerable addition! Rich

Rich and Mike, You're indeed correct, do remember your responses to the original thread. What I don't remember is if you two had come up with proposals for your Los Robustos M/C club monikers. Por favor, give this some thought and submit them here. If johnny80s-El Presidente and ShinyPartsUp-El Grande y yo concur with your choices, you're full fledged members!

:clapping: I'm good with it.

I also nominated GalaxyBlue (Adam) after seeing him eat some Mexican at lunch. I don't know if he wants to join, but a good guy who loves riding and eating!

LOL. I appologize being late to some of these posts, but I ate two steaks and fell asleep watching the **** tube... Another big thumbs up! eh?

2) Dr. Rich (Rich) and Hycle (Mike): You muchachos need to propose your club monikers to tu El Jefes for our club approval.

If you two do not propose your nicknames, Old Michael (O'Keeffe) will select them for you. You really won't like that option!!

3) Atencion: GalaxyBlue (Adam), you also must choose a name. If you don't, SkooterG chooses it, you'll HATE that choice!!!

4) Bustanut joker: Mi amigo, you joining us? Tu compadre HotRodZilla has selected El Muy Loco para tu. Muy importante!!!

5) Any more applicants for Los Robustos M/C? If you have a body type like GalaxyBlue, you are a shoo-in for acceptance!!!

WOW, good eye! Cheddar and pepperjack! What you couldn't see the 6 slices of bacon hiding under the cheese!

BTW, one of the perks of working in radio is quite frequently, local restaurants show up in the morning bringing in platters of food for the DJs to sample, hoping to get some free airtime. Today was one of those mornings. 2 different restaurants showed up.

And since I have brand new membership standards to maintain, I just finished a breakfast of jambalaya, red beans and rice and a bowl of crawfish etoufee, topped off with a "sandwich" built from buffalo wings, bleu cheese and pumpkin bread!!! Tasted much better than it sounds!

Gonna skip lunch today (goes without saying after THAT breakfast) to hunger-up for tonight.....it's "Friday Night Under The Lights" at our local football stadium and the team's Booster Club puts out a gigantic buffet every home game for the pressbox folks. By halftime, I'll be up to my eyeballs in pizza, wings, cuban sandwiches, chips, dip, cookies and cake. I LOVE high school football!

Life as a Los Robustos is good! :rockwoot:

ps: That scoreboard ain't a photochop. It's the real deal. The team is SO popular, the community ponied up $250,000.00 to buy the team and stadium a Jumbotron!

 

[johnny80s]

Don don't forget the fabulous forum member that made out beloved logo. He's in too. I can't remember his name though and I am too lazy to dig it up from our last post.

We need to get a Los Robustos section on the board. Maybe if we sacrifice a chicken or a goat to our all powerful and benevolent admins they will give us our own section.

 

[beemerdons]

RadioHowie: I actually did not know that a hamburger could be crafted without bacon, definitely spotted El Tocino on the top.

Wow, what a cool beans deal to score that free food on a regular basis. The pumpkin bread sandwich sounded muy bueno!!!

Juan, Our beloved logo designer is DA BRIT; I have assigned him the club moniker El Hombre Britanico, until he changes it.

Seth and I are having dinner this Saturday night at the Heart Attack Grille in Chandler with SkooterG, pinhead, BadcatBurk, vectervp1 and RenoJohn. I will buy SkootyG off by getting his meal and GalaxyBlue is moving to Arizona: So I'll buy Adam off with cerveza, nachos, tamales and boat rides out on the Colorado River. Warchild, Ignacio, Bounce and other Admins are all good eaters; being in Los Robustos is almost better than being La Familia 13, make them an offer they can't refuse!

What is Spanish for Big "****" **** is an alternative for Richard!

Are German names acceptable?

Dr. Rich: Mexicanos, Cubanos, Guatemalans, Panamanians, Costa Ricans and all other peoples South of the Border have more nicknames for "tallywhackers" than you can ever imagine. I'll ask Senor AJ, aka HotRodZilla, to make a list for you!

This'll need to be approved by johnny80s and ShinyPartsUp, but I would fully accept German names for Los Robustos M/C!

The German influence, and Irish by the way, was huge and prevalent in Mexico. Mexico was built on mining and no peoples knew hard rock mining like the Germans did, they immigrated to Mexico by the thousands. That is why music throughout Mexico is basically polka oom-pah-pah and the Mexican beer is fantastico. Recipes for MEX beer came from Deutschland!

What did they need we Irish for? For fighting and *******, we came to help them fight the Spanish, French and Americans.

We were starving and oppressed by British in Ireland, mercenaries in Mexico; lot of Mexican red haired kids looking like OM!

Appreciate your approval.

Got a question in regards to being a member.....when one decides to skip a meal (which I did in my earlier post) in order to better maintain the standards set forth at a later time, and THEN countermands that decision and eats the planned skipped meal anyway, are there any penalties involved?

Just finished one of these for the lunch I hadn't planned:

Hard to match the artery-clogging properties of the classic philly cheesesteak.

'Howie

ps: I intend to take my responsibilities seriously.

Wish I could be there 11/01/09.

Quite the contrary! Missing a meal is understood, for the reasons you mentioned, but frowned up. Eating an extra meal satisfies the goals of the club. Posting the picture of that delicious looking sandwich earns you some bonii too.

And, Beemerdons, thanks for the history lesson. This thread is turning out to be highly educational. with language, history AND cuisine all together.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saint_Patrick's_Battalion Jill, My Aunt JanieBelle of Carrolton, Missouri was a wonderful woman.

She has been gone for 25 years now and she was a character. I used my US Army GI Bill to receive a Bachelors Degree in History and taught for one year, 1974-75. She wanted to become a Daughter of the American Revolution and enlisted my help as a Historian to research the Stanley Clan. Eventually she hired research sources and spent a ton of my Uncle Bob Harris' money to discover that the Stanleys had come to America in time for the Revolutionary fighting in a Georgia militia.

We came from the village of Slane on the River Boyne in Ireland. Stanley being transliteration of the word Slane in Gaelic.

There was also a later emigration of Stanley's and this discovery drove her wild. She was Protestant, they were Catholic.

And there was the matter of the one Stanley that fought and died in the Saint Patrick's Battalion: For Mexico and against US!

She wanted it swept under the rug, and I being ex-US military was fascinated by it; I have been to the Los Patricios statue.

How interesting! I wonder if our grandchildren will want to hear stories of our lives? My GGM was a real character, born in 1877 and lived for 103 years, maintaning her independence for the majority os those. She was a devout Methodist and blamed everything untoward on Catholics (said with a deprecating shake of the head).

In GGM's late nineties, her daughter and SIL came to live with her, suggesting that she needed full time care. In actuality, his retirement meant that they had lost the home that went with the job. Knowing that the old lady was on her way out, and that they would inherit her house soon, they moved in. She outlived him by many years. On the day of his funeral, GGM came to our house for the day. Instead of her usual ladylike way of dining, she was first to finish lunch and was whipping plates out from under forks. Come along people, we have a funeral to go to!!!

You guys are cracking me up today.

You guys are cracking me up today.

Seth had just a half day at school today, so I am sitting here wasting my time before we go to The Toy Story double feature.

Alrighty-roo, El Presidente - Back to Los Robustos business! Are your plans firmed up with your family and your work that you are indeed good to go for Friday, October 30 through Sunday, November 1. Is your Frau going with you on this trip?

I have not contacted Spyderbret and Eeksnake yet, but I will if you believe that you are ready to rumble on 1st LRMC Eat!

If this is a go, we need to start separate thread under Regional Ride Planning here on our Forum. Will the SoCal FJR Riders List Group allow you to do mass e-mailing regarding this mini/maxi-pigout-rally? I've most of the personal cell phone numbers of all the Zonies and I'll just call around the State rounding up players. No problems with Wickenburg lodgings!!!
