Khalo, Freda - Slept with Trotsky and had one eyebrow. Also did a bit of painting. Looked like Salma Hayek.

Mezcal - Dirty type of tequila with a worm sitting at the bottom of it. Gets you off your tits. Drink it once, you'll never be the same. Whoever gets the maggot at the bottom gets to wolf it down. The worm's dead. That should tell you someting about how harsh mezcal tastes. Mezcal tastes like shit. Probably because there's a dead worm at the bottom.

Mari(h)uana - The reason many people go to Mexico.

Mexican hairless dog - They really are bloody hairless. I saw one in a garden in oaxaca and couldn't take my eyes off it. It was revolting. As unlikely a cute pet as you could imagine. Made an excellent guard dog though as it was so scary. (from Howzar)
