Fried chicken, cheese, fish and a variety of meat. Just at the corner of this picture you can see another table full of empanadas. They'll even fry your hand if you ask nicely..

The Mayor of the city of Buenos Aires Mauricio Macri went to the ArteBA '10 convention last week to check out all the great artists on display but I don't think that he was planning on making any purchases. That all changed when he grabbed a [John Daily style] reporters ass during an interview in which the reporter smashed his head against a glass piece and broke it. Total Cost: $4,000 US dollars. Nice work gentlemen.

This is an original campaign created by Latin Works for the 13th Cine Las Americas International Film Festival. I have no idea where they got this footage of the President of Argentina, Christina Kirchner, talking about how great pork is for sex, but it sure is interesting. Enjoy, you pigs! 

Thanks to Bueno, Entonces... for digging this one up.

I was walking down Sante Fe street and all of a sudden I spotted this little plastic demon starring back at me. It really freaked me out.

Last week I was walking through Martinez out by San Isidro and came across this old folks oasis. Puerto Libre is a gated in private club for "senior citizens" who still are young at heart... and very competitive! When I went strolling by there was an intense volleyball matchup going on and I think I even saw one guy kick sand in someone's face over a bad call.

No matter where you are in the world this game is difficult if not impossible to master. You would think with all the corruption down here they could do something about changing the odds a little bit.

There is only one person in the world that I know who can beat this game, my best friend back home actually has a system in which to beat the game, but he won't share it with anyone. I've seen him do it, and he has a collection of stuffed animals and stuff at home from all his winnings. Shout out to Jarrod Rapke. 

This poor sucker was working on the little white rabbit in the corner for a solid 10 minutes while I was waiting for my bus.

Boys Scouts in Buenos Aires... I never knew. Here's a group of these crafty badge wearers crossing a busy street near Alto Palermo looking to setup camp or build a raft somewhere.

I was reading the Buenos Aires Herald this morning and found this cool video. An unidentified man risks his life in Tigre, Argentina to come to the aid of a van caught on a railroad as a train full of passengers approaches.
