SPANISH COFFEE

is what I think Sergio's nick name should be.

Credit to my buddy Aaron.

And repect to the Hedge for his list.

Portland is a coffee town.  Portland is a basketball town.  It makes sense.

I like Espresso.  But he's spanish, and his nickname should refect this.

AND/OR

We need to start calling every assist "Tapas"  

so we can yell:

MAS TAPAS!

and casually observe:

"Sergio's really servin' up the tapas tonight."

and your buddy can respond:

"me gusta."

Too bad Sergio isn't 21 yet...

otherwise we could take him down to Hubers to show him the awesome Spanish coffee down there...

(One wonders:  Is that something served in Spain, or is it a yankee concoction designed to evoke feelings of East Portugal?)

good question
Yeah, what does France call french fries?  I know they don't call em freedom fries.

Canadian bacon is just ham in Canada, isn't it?

I'm partial to simply calling him "The Surge".  Awfully close to "Sarge", tho.  Spanish coffee works well but almost too well, it strikes me as a bit contrived.

They call em "frites"
or "pommes frites".  Essentially, "fries" without the French part.

Canadian Bacon is simply called "bacon" in Canada.  Or "back bacon", and what is called "bacon" in the US is called "side bacon".  It isn't "ham"; which is a whole 'nother part of the pig.

Anyway, enough Cultural Learnings of Various Frog-speaking Countries for Make Benefit Glorious Weblog BlazersEdge
