Re: Southern Americas in the Playground (from Mexico all the way down!)
DaOlde... ever heard of Freezer burns? Frostbites are kinda the same. Therefore, you can "burn" things via freezing. (This is all illogical mumbo-jumbo and should not be taken seriously)

Re: Southern Americas in the Playground (from Mexico all the way down!)
Hmm, a lot of Mexicans and Central Americans in here, a nice load of Brazilians and South Americans here, and barely NO Caribbean representation? ¡Que bochorno!
Let's rectify this, shall we? Then again, I'm not sure if I'll be allowed, because I live in Limbo.
...well, not exactly. We Puerto Ricans consider ourselves Latin Americans, but ask other Latin Americans, and we get coupled with the gringos. But, ask anyone that knows about Puerto Rico within the United States, and they consider us Latin Americans.
So, if we're not Latin Americans by latinoamericanos and no gringos by those from the USA, where do we belong? Hence, why I mention I live in Limbo.
And no, I don't have any urgent desire to change this, even if we're gonna be asked about it come election day.
In case you don't frequent the Gaming section, I hang around in the Gaming section a lot, particularly on the Homebrew and 3.5 forums. Yes, one of these days I'm gonna find a Latin American D&D forum and gonna repost all the Retooled material in Spanish, if you were asking about it.
If you do...you probably would have known. Well, at least if you frequent the Iron Chef competitions. If not...then now you know.
Lemme see...oh, yes! As mentioned about a month and a half or so, Latin America is comprised of every country in America (the continent) that speaks a Romance language (that is, BTW, any country that speaks Spanish, Portuguese, French, Italian, a dialect of it, and IIRC Romanian) as its official language. That makes Belize, Suriname and Jamaica non-Latin American countries, even if they are below North America.
And I fondly remember how my History teacher divided America into "Latin America" and "Anglo-Saxon America" (any country that speaks English).
That said: would you consider Quebec and the other areas of Canada that speak French (Montreal?) as part of Latin America, or Anglo-Saxon America?

Re: Southern Americas in the Playground (from Mexico all the way down!)
I would call Canada Anglo-Saxon America, sorry. The culture is way closer to USA culture than most Latin American culture.

Re: Southern Americas in the Playground (from Mexico all the way down!)
Hopefully, spend Xmas with the family in Puebla, the town I was born in.
And have a small secret Santa.Last edited by Crimmy : Tomorrow at 26:72 DM.

Re: Southern Americas in the Playground (from Mexico all the way down!)
I believe I'll still be in the United States. Chances are I won't be going back to Mexico for a really long time.

Re: Southern Americas in the Playground (from Mexico all the way down!)
For the last few years I've been spending the New Year's eve in some beach in Rio. Usually I go to a party in a friend's house, then go to the beach, watch the fireworks then I walk along the coast talking to random people. The last part is the best. There are always some cool events. In 2009 a friend of mine rescued a guy that was drowning, but the guy tackled him and started crying, saying he wanted to die. Then we heard him complain about his life, paid him a beer and he seemed a lot happier. Last year was very weird. A girl started hanging with us and said her name was X (I can't really remember which name it was). A few minutes later, after she flirted with every male around, her boyfriend showed up and said her name was Y. And they started kissing passionately.
In Rio, after 2 AM, hilarity ensues.

Re: Southern Americas in the Playground (from Mexico all the way down!)
New Year's Eve? Well...there's a 75/25 chance that we spend it the same place as always: morning at the cemetary, and night at my sister's home. Then again, I've never liked being outside my home after 6 PM because of the fireworks and stuff.
The question is where my family will celebrate Thanksgiving and Christmas (Epiphany will be, as usual, in my house). There's a 50% chance that we celebrate both holidays at different places (one of the holidays here, the other on my aunt's home at the other side of the island) and a 49.??% that we celebrate both at my home. The other infinitesimal chances are that we celebrate one of them at least somewhere other than my home or my aunt's home (or my sister's home). It's that predictable.
Now, I hope that I finally have a chance to visit the festivities at Calle San Sebastian, though early on the morning (to prevent the hassle of night-time debauchery).Retooler of D&D 3.5 (and 5e/Next) content. See here for more.

Re: Southern Americas in the Playground (from Mexico all the way down!)
There was a 6.3 earthquake on the Richter scale here in México and I slept through it >_> I woke up to a lot of "did you feel the quake?" Facebook posts and tweets.

Re: Southern Americas in the Playground (from Mexico all the way down!)
Tangentially related: a friend of mine was doing exchange in Japan and she got so used to the quakes that when it woke her up at night, she would just go "oh, it's another quake" and go back to sleep.
Never having experience a quake in my life (Brazil is very well located - no hurricanes, no volcanoes, no earthquakes), I can't help but be terrified at the thought.

Re: Southern Americas in the Playground (from Mexico all the way down!)
Ain't no lack of sleep like going to bed at 2 and getting up at 3:24 because of a quake... And then never going back to sleep.

Re: Southern Americas in the Playground (from Mexico all the way down!)
Well, between that, and the toxic cloud/flood we had around here the other day; it may very well do.
