Mary Worth 2608

When was the last time you saw a mariachi band before you heard the mariachi band? What are these amigos doing, silently posing for pictures?

Good: 18
Enjoy: 18
Love: 11
Nice: 7

Hold on, Mary and Toby live in Southern California and they find a Mariachi band exotic? Heck, I live in NE Ohio. Every year, on the feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe, my parish held a Mariachi Mass (a wonderful experience, by the way), and finding a first rate band to hire was no problem. So, anyway, encountering Mariachis in Mexico is about the same as encountering a steel drum band at any Caribbean Island cruise port. That is to say, expected

Ha ha, "authentic" indeed. Cripes, this little market area just screams tourist-trap fakery. Maybe that's why they couldn't hear the mariachis.

Did I miss a few installments? Wasn't Bored Hubby sharing a seductive smoke with Celine DeCruise? How did their evening end? How did he explain his absence - and tobacco-scented clothes -- from the wife?

Gee, I hope Moy enjoyed her tax-deductible cruise!

Today's Boldface Haiku is titled "Dos Amigos Ver Tres Amigos. Gran Exitacion."

Oh look!
Mariachis!



Sigh.

Personally, I'd like to see a panel or two of the military police who are likely guarding this tourist market with machine guns, wearing fatigues, mirrored sunglasses, and driving a jeep.

@Peggy Olson, yay for "Celine DeCruise."

Tomorrow, Mary and Toby tweet a photo of themselves grinning over a taco bowl.

Mr. Alora!

I recommend avoiding purchasing the 5 t-shirts for $5. They disintegrate in the wash after the first washing.

@KitKat--At which point they are immediately drafted to run for co-mayor of Santa Royale, slogan "Make Life Great Again."

"Three Amigos, Hollywood, California. You are very great. 100,000 pesos. Come to Santa Poco put on show, stop. The In-famous El Guapo."

"Wherever there is injustice, you will find us.
Wherever there is suffering, we'll be there.
Wherever liberty is threatened, you will find...
The Three Amigos!"

Mary, I'm surprised during your trip to NY to see your little pal Olive you didn't take the subway. I've seen them there and trust me, they don't stand there smiling. I think they are there to wake you up on your way to work. Someone on Seattle Pi suggested that the Three Amigos are a life size cutout.

Is there no end to Moy's vapidness?

If the Amigo on the right needs a break, I think Katie could easily step in as Little Neddy.

Katie is trapped under the enormous pile of garish sombreros in the first panel, her cries for help drowned out by a rousing rendition of Guantanamera paid for by Esme. Victory at last..

Is it just me, or is Amigo #3 Barack Obama? Working on his second career?
