    All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.

    Si, señor. Barrio Logan is a good place to get Mexican food. It’s also a good place for a pinche gabacho to get his cabeza peeled if he’s not careful.
