Confusing feelings after having a tortilla


The best hmmm... "tortillas" (I am using the term loosely) I have bought and tasted in a long time are inspired in a Bible recipe, Ezekiel 4:9 to be accurate. I bought them because the words "New Mexico - Whole Grain - Tortilla" caught my eye, and it wasn't until a few minutes ago, that I fried one of those inspirational tortillas with a couple of pieces of salami to dip the whole thing in some jalapeƱo cheese, that I took the time to read the prominently displayed "Ezekiel 4:9" letters right there, staring at my face from the counter. "What? Ezekiel 4:9, that's a pretty awkward brand for some organic tortillas", I thought. It wasn't until I read the fine print which quoted the "Bible's recipe" for bread (or tortillas... aren't them flat bread, after all?), and saw the branch-carrying white dove, that I started feeling guilty for having a Bible-based midnight snack. Who knew the Israelites in exile were probably around New Mexico when the Book of Ezekiel was written??

I actually like the green thingy which jumps across the screen, and the dove too. That green jumping creature must be the way to lure the gays into buying Bible-inspired whole grain tortillas, and the white dove seems a gayelle reference. At least to me.

Columbia... Why am I even surprised?


I didn't even know that there was a country whose name was "Columbia"!
Where can I get my license to do my own country name-changing? Someone at Expedia, reflecting what most Americans have collectively decided, changed the name of a country without asking. Not to mention the placing of the town of Tula, Hidalgo (where the amazing "Atlantes" statues shown in the picture are), which was in North America the last time I checked, in Central America. Anyway, why am I even bothering to post this?
Kuddos to whomever creates these Expedia html e-mails I signed up for from. Sweet, now I even get this kind of stuff in my mailbox.

Here's a bigger version of this jewel:
