Mexican roadblock

(n) May be created intentionally or unintentionally- two cars driving next to each other at the exact same speed, thus preventing you and other cars behind from passing. Unbelievably frustrating, especially when you have somewhere to be.

Always happens when I'm late to work.

I try to move to the right lane to prevent creating a Mexican roadblock.

Mexican shower

(n) To apply liberal amounts of deodorant and/or perfume to mask body odor when actually showering is impossible, undesirable or too time consuming.
See Italian shower.

"Just take a Mexican shower and come over, we're running late."

I've taken many a Mexican shower during international flights- 9 hours on a plane, stanky!

Arizona Republic

1. Arizona's/Phoenix's most popular newspaper and, conincidentally, the worst newspaper on the planet.
2. A Phoenix paper in which death counts of soldiers in Iraq are A10 news, and some bullshit about AIMS testing is A1/front page news.
3. A Phoenix paper which publicly endorsed Bush during the election of 2004, effectively killing any reputation it had for unbiased/non-partisan reporting.

"just when i thought the EV Tribune was one step above the Republic, they publish this crap."
