Worlds Colliding: Quito Meets the Banana Stand

I am posting twice in the same day (maybe in the same hour?) but it's very important that you know these two things:

1. Sometimes it is easier to speak in English with a Spanish accent than it is to just speak in Spanish. Example number one, real life: I told Jose that I was from, "Di-troyt, Mee-chee-guen" and that I was going to be here, "faur nain monz." Example number two, Arrested Development: When Buster is under the trampoline at Lupe's house (that shares a paperboy!) because all the car fumes made him think he was in Mexico, he tells Lupe, "I'm trying to find a place to live" in a ridiculous Mexican accent ("Ai'm traing tu faind e ples tu lib."). I can't find a damn video clip anywhere, but it's hilarious. I think about it all the time.

2. Llapingachos look like something a Cornballer would make. Gabi pointed this out, so all credit goes to her. "Soy loco por los cornballs!"

"Her?",
Gina.
