“Not up its nose” is always a hard ViVaPoRú sell
This is a genius story with a genius lede and a surprisingly touching kicker. Also: this entire country needs a good slathering in Beep Baporú. (But not up its nose. Or on its pets. Or on its children under 2)https://twitter.com/BermudezWrites/status/1110508741374312448 …

Whatever happened to that guy?https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-2002-dec-23-me-pruno23-story.html …
