Your Helatorstai dose of Surreal

Posted on May 10, 2018 by Hatboy

The other day Mrs. Hatboy, who is watching Narcos in order to flesh out her Spanish with a bit more obscenity, reported this horrible little story from the Netflix front lines. Apparently the real Colombian drug lords don’t appreciate being disrespected, … Continue reading →
