Hi, and thank you! My Latin being minimal, I had to search for translation - and I found this!

Greetings JulioC, pull up a pew.
Coffees on the stove, fresh made caipirinhas in the fridge, salty snacks in the cupboard.
So, what part of Brasil are you from?
Oh, and don't forget...

People from Brazil are not latinos. Brazil is in Creepy South America; they speak Portuguese because the pope told them to. How Geek is that?
I Tomas Texino, not only live in Panama, a true Latino Country, but I also happen to be the guy who lets the water in and the water out of the canal.
Before I went to Panama, I was a member and a big supporter of this site. Snaggy even said nice things about my writing! I felt like someone who could hold his head up in el norte. Then Bruce and Liza started hanging with the criminal Woz. That guy can't even use prepositions! I finally bought a copy of their book for $1.79. I put it with some other books by cartoonists who used cats or did when they were alive. After one week, I found the book on the floor with the following note stuck on the cover. The note read: Nitrozac and Snaggy own some talent and have a sense of the Geek Culture, however;
Web comics are not funny. Woz is just a horrible writer and should not be teaching children. The after Y2K would been a far better choice because it moves a long like life and is therefore does not have to be a corker every frame.
I am not disrespecting your book because you did me wrong. These criticisms are shared by other writers and cartoonists.
I do feel that ignoring me after encouraging me has had a lot to do with me leaving a high paying position in Florida and becoming a bitter Latino valve yanker in Balboa.
I certainly regret any misfortune you may suffer as a result of my feelings, but that's just the way it goes down here in the jungle where the coconut grows.

Since the Pope's decision was to allow Portugal to colonize one side of an arbitrary line and Spain to colonize the other half, I guess the people of Panama speak Spanish because of the Pope, too.
I think I'll avoid the rest of your trolling, though.

Latin: A person of Hispanic, especially Latin-American, descent, often one living in the United States. Of or relating to the languages that developed from Latin, such as Italian, French, Spanish, and Portuguese, or to the peoples that speak them.
Some research should of been done before assuming someone is not/is Latin American.

LMAO...I should listen to my own advice. I just don’t like when people try to do the “My town is better than yours" thing, or "I am more Spanish than you." Very first grade...anyway...on that note.....

Hmm...
Brazil's in latin america. Portuguese is closer to the Latin language than Spanish.
And we speak Portuguese because we were colonised by the Portuguese

Hello! I came very close to Brazil a few years back while traipsing about northern Uruguay. I went there for Y2K - some friends who are Cabo Polonio fans rented a cabin/cottage with no electricity or plumbing and we awaited the "disaster" there. I didn't know for 5 days whether the semi-civilized world had collapsed or not. It was one of those amazing once in a lifetime experiences. Beautiful country there, it is.
But I don't know any Portugese, unfortunately. However, a friend of mine once did a dramatic reading of a Portugese Pepsi bottle. And I'm a Tom Zé and Jorge Ben fan.
So welcome here! Hallo! Stay with us.
And most important... POST!!!!!!
