Mexican drug cartel "soldier" wannabe.

They are normal people with normal jobs, until the weekend where they spend all their money on pissing contests. The way they dress is a combination of cowboy, Ed Hardy rhinestone-ridden tshirts, faux exotic leather boots and something resembling a bulletproof vest but made out of cloth; Like a purple rain era Prince / Cowboy Curtis / COD Black ops cover / reggaeton mashup.

They have a cult for "Scarface", or any other fictional druglord, Buchanan's whiskey and cognac (which they rarely can afford) , italian brands of cars and clothing and a non-sanctioned by the catholic church saint called Jesús Malverde.

They claim to be deeply rooted in a rural origin, but the absolute majority work at a maquiladora and have never worked the fields or seen a horse.

The earliest depiction of what we can call a Proto-Buchon found origin in southern california, not in mexico as all claim, most probably in the plantation fields found between Indio and Coachella CA. where many people from Durango, Sinaloa and Michoacan where struck by the contemporary approach of "Chalino" Sanchez over the regional music. Mostly all the iconography, myths and fashion are manufactured in the United States for that audience, as an industry that feeds that imagery and false hope to all those legal an illegal field workers; Then, as they send their money, they also send that ideology and sociocultural bastardization to mexico.

A dead drop is a location used to secretly pass items between two people, without requiring them to meet.

Spies have been known to use dead drops, using various techniques to hide the items and to signal that the drop has been made. Drug dealers use this as well.

A common place is to duct tape the item to the underside of a toilet cover in a public restroom.

A signal is sometimes used as well to indicate there is something to pickup, like a pile of stones in a certain formation. After checking the drop the signal is removed.
"The dead drop is the restroom toilet at the Gulf station at the corner of Commercial Ave. and Georges Rd."

No Surprises Wedding

A "No Surprises Wedding," or NSW, is a wedding invitation designation that tells attendees that there can be no unplanned announcements, engagements, events or speeches at the wedding - all actions must be pre-approved by the couple. Anyone who performs an unapproved "surprise" will be asked to leave the wedding early.

This designation comes from Reddit, where so many stories of bad wedding behavior indicated a need to communicate expectations for the wedding behavior of attendees.
You are cordially invited to the nuptials of Brian and Tom on October 31 at noon.

Please note that this wedding is child-free (under 10) and a No Surprises Wedding (NSW). Reach out to wedding planner Sami Smith to request approvals or exceptions; please note that exceptions will be rare. Limited child care for under-10s will be available. All approvals will be noted and included in planning. Unapproved, or surprise exceptions, will result in guests being asked to leave.

Texas is categorized as a swing state in presidential elections, but has voted for Republicans more times than for Democrats in recent history. As such, as demographics change political alignments, some Democrats believe that Texas will vote blue, or Democratic, due to their Hispanic and African American voters, who often align themselves with the Democratic Party's liberal wing.

Blexas has been cited as possible in the upcoming decades, but only if Democrats continue to win the Hispanic vote in bigger margins.
Democrat 1: What is your prediction for the 2024 presidential election?
Democrat 2: Well uh, Blexas!
Democrat 1: You've been saying that since 2008 though.
