Does it make you feel good to have insulted a whole bunch of Mexicans?

I think Mexicans have a thicker skin than you seem to imagine. It does make me feel good though that Vinny Barbarino is now completely bald, and Gabe Kaplan is a professional gambler.

The Sweathogs were good people, that was the whole point of the show. It is you who is insulting, that I was implying they were not.

Yes Mexicans [and I have thick skins], you are the attempting insulter as you have proven many times in your writings. You trying to backtrack as if you made a compliment is just one big hoot-SNORK! They were called sweathogs in that show because the suggestion was that they were misfits so yes your missive would be construed as insulting by most people that are familiar with your online persona and that show,Gary Waller aka chillin.

Wow - that is the biggest chunk of verbal garbage to come out of your mouth for some time Col. Kurtz. If you, and a bunch of fellow enthusiasts, want to take their lawnmower engines or chainsaws, take all the mufflers off, then strap them to your bicycles - go ahead. But know the neighborhood dogs, people with car alarms, and Mom's with small kids, are not impressed at all.

Sweathogs” was appropriated by Vinnie Barbarino, Horshack, Epstein, and Freddie as the de facto name of their harmless inner-city gang at James Buchanan High School in Brooklyn. The name had long been used in the school by teachers and staff for the juvenile delinquents who were enrolled in remedial classes.

My wife the retired school teacher was given the worst grade 6 class in her school one year. everyone called them the sweathogs and she came home more than once in tears. It's far from being a term of endearment.

Probably her school. That quote is from someone affiliated with the show.

My intention with this post was to share some lighthearted things we’ve  delighted in while living here and to hear some of the like from others. Nothing more.  

Still to this day, ANY foreign object on the floor looks like a scorpion even after said object has been identified 😎

It was a nice idea until a couple of posters couldn't leave each other alone.
