Thanks a lot, sure I could be your caddie!

Thanks a lot, David. I'll do it again (new corrections on red):


Metáforas para (los) tontos.

Los mensajes en camisetas son a veces cómicos sin éstos saber que son cómicos (mucho mejor: involuntariamente). Este año es año de () elección(es) presidencial(es) aquí. La campaña de Obama tomó prestado del movimiento de César Chávez en los años 60 el siguiente lema/eslogan "Sí, se puede" (escrito en español). El otro día vi a un señor llevando una camiseta que decía "Si se puede" (Si sin la tilde sobre la i). Me hizo sonreír.

supa-coopa is on a distinguished road
"My Bass Is Bigger Than Your Bass" could be making a reference to "fish stories". If you say you caught a fish that was 12 inches long, then more than likely, it was only 6 inches long.

This saying could also be reference to penis size. Men and their macho posturing! LOL They always want to have the biggest one. I'm not trying to inappropriate here but the shirt could have very well been implying that.
