WARNING!<\/b><\/p>\n
I am about to write about something that may have you up in arms, demanding my head on a silver platter, or just plain upset with me. I feel it is in Cloudwrangler’s best interest to go ahead and say it anyway, for a lot of reasons. I recently told someone important that the only way to approach blogging was to “Write without fear”, and I firmly believe it. Also, controversy is good PR. A simple boycott of me could lead to millions of hits on my site, and really it’s all about feeding my ego, right? Right.<\/p>\n
This morning, while doing laundry in the shadiest laundromat in Austin, I parked next to a Spanish language video rental store, carrying a variety of Mexican films that I had never heard of.

I was ready to offer the store owner as much as $100 for it, until Kevin dubbed it, and the other films like it also advertised with boobs and guns, a “Taco Western”. I could hardly stop laughing, thank goodness I don’t drink milk.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
