Seems the El alamo has made the internet on another forum.
Our friend Rock Harders has been plying young attractive women with free drinks and its making some people worried.

Interesting reading.

This chick exemplifies what I HATE about N American women. Her whole story is about people having a good time and enjoying themselves. Her friend gets drunk and fucks her brains out. Call the morality police because obviously there is something sinister about that. Fucking American women, they shouldn't be allowed to breed.
And she wonders why her roommate moved out! Haha.
Exon, when are you going to Argentina again?

Went to El Alamo today around 2 am. There where allot of young women there on a Monday night, I was surprised. I changed some dollars for peso with Dave, and he gave me the best rate I have found in town. He also brought me a beer.
Went to a very important governmental office today (I don't want to say which one because what I am going to relate may not be officially sanctioned)
Group after group of Americans asked the officials at the counter where they could see the swearing in of President Obama. Every official said "Shoeless Joe's El Alamo"
When it was finally my turn I asked the same question. The government official behind the counter said " We are recommending Shoeless Joe's El Alamo to everyone."
I think Rock Harders and Dave are in the majors now.
Mongers,
El Alamo will be showing the Antonio Margarito v. Shane Mosley WBA Welterweight title fight tonight, Saturday, January 24th, beginning at midnight, live via satellite.

[QUOTE=Sidney]Their ''mommas have told them to ''never'' talk to a new man! They are all potential rapists! Once, at the Alamo, I was sitting beside many U of GA girls watching a GA football game, wearing a GA hat. Their ''protective friends were really afraid and pissed at them for talking to a stranger![/QUOTE]Sidney,
You have a face that would stop a clock. Even Georgia girls have to maintain some kind of standards. Bully for them!
PS - Did you try the "free drinks for girls" trick? That usually lowers their standards pretty quickly.
What are you CRAZY? The Fedor Vs Arlovski fight? If you are a boxing fan and saw what Margarito did to Cotto your gonna want to see Margarito fight.
I am planing to be there at 12 to see MARGARITO!
Mongers,
Tonight, starting at midnight, El Alamo will be showing the return of Miguel Cotto (returning from a horrific beating at the hands of Antonio Margarito) against Michael Jennings and Middleweight Champion Kelly Pavlik (returning from a beatdown against Bernard Hopkins at light heavyweight) against Marco Rubio. There will be smoking and non-smoking areas available.
Suerte,

I think I might join you guys if you are really going as coming from out of town and would like to know some friendly fFaces might will be there as it would be my first time going to el alamo.

Glad to see you've finally " peeped game " RH.
I've been asking for this for months.
If you're showing the Affliction 3 event (Fedor Emilianenko vs Josh Barnett) on August 1st I will most definitely be there.
MMA, it's the future.

Hi Sid,
I watched it at home. If I would have known sooner, I would have made plans to watch it with you guys. I've been training in martial arts since I was a child, so I know MMA quite well. It's nice to know we have a sports bar in town that's up on the current fight scene. I will be joining you guys for the next one. You can count on it.
Main event results:
Lesnar KO Mir (not what I expected but that disgraceful brute wouldn't be denied. His days are numbered though. Fedor is coming to the UFC)
Hendo KO Bisping (I know all the Brits in the bar shed a tear over that one, but big mouth had it coming " Falcon Punch " lol)
GSP Decision Alves (fought a safe and boring fight, too bad)
Next great cards for the year are:
Affliction 3 August 1st (Fedor Emilianenko Vs Josh Barnett for the WAMMA HW title)
UFC 104 October 24 (Machida Vs Shogun for the UFC LHW title + Carwin Vs Velasquez for a UFC HW title shot against Lesnar)
Regards,
BM.
[QUOTE=Sidney]Thanks again Rock, for this event! It was even better because a friend, Abel, a fighter himself, explained to us, all about the fighters and the sport![/QUOTE]

Speaking of El Alamo:
Anyone know how to get in touch with Ricardo? I told him I'd hit him up for a beer at El Alamo the next time I'm in town. Turns out I'm going to be there in a few weeks. Now that he's persona non grata aqui, does anyone have an e-mail address for him? Send me a PM if you do, and thanks in advance.

Ricardo is not "persona non grata aqui". He just needs to post about something besides politics, which I suspect he can't actually do because he's actually a professional political propagandist who is participating in a coordinated scheme in which he and others are organized and encouraged to go out into the blogosphere and influence the political thinking of otherwise unsuspecting forum and blog participants by posting professionally written "mini essays" which they are provided for just such a purpose.
These political operatives are also provided with professionally written jokes which they may post to camouflage their primary agenda.
In other words, he embodies the definition of a Political Serial Antagonist.
Thanks,

My conjecture would be that he's just a smart guy from the opposite end of the political spectrum. As I understand it, he's met up with a few of the regulars here at one or two local haunts, Sid included. That doesn't mean he's not an "operative," but it does suggest that he's not just a faceless propogandist.
At any rate, I thought he was banished because all of the PMs he sent me (some of which I hadn't read) disappeared a few weeks ago. If that's not accurate, then I apologize for the "non grata" stuff. Since I don't run the website -- and therefore don't have to spend a good chunk of my day cleaning it up -- it wasn't my intention to comment on whether or not it was the right thing to do.

Actually, this strategy is employed by both sides of the political arena.

Hi Stan,
He used the forum's PM system to send multiple copies of professionally written political "white papers", to which he would purport to be the author, to dozens of forum members with whom he had no prior communication.
These unsolicited spam PMs were an obvious indication of his true agenda.
Thanks,

Regarding El Alamo, before heading to Recoleta last night I stopped by here with the intention of having a light dinner and to give one of the board's advertisers some business. From what I could see through the door, the place was packed, but a gentleman at the door wanted 20 pesos entry fee to go inside. I think he mentioned it included a drink, but I just wanted to see a menu first and then order. I decided to go elsewhere. Is the 20 pesos fee standard here every night?
Hi Esten,
From what I understand the $ 20 pesos can be used as credit to your meal. I am pretty sure the fee is only at night. I was never charged $ 20 pesos when I went during the day.

Hi Canitasguy,
For my purposes, it's irrelevant whether Ricardo forded bullets that he made himself, or bullets fabricated by someone else.
Either way, he's still a professional political propagandist.
Thanks,
Jackson[/blue]
Mongers,
The $20 pesos that is charged at the door at El Alamo is a minimum consumption fee and can be used to order anything on the menu whether it be food, drink, or any other product sold at the bar. On Thursday and Friday nights, the minimum consumption fee rises to $30 pesos for men and again can be used in its entirety to order anything on the menu. El Alamo accepts any hard currency at market rate in addition to Visa, Mastercard and Amex.
Suerte,.
Rock Harders
Thank you both for the clarification.
I will stop by again sometime.
Mongers,
As with all major sporting events, El Alamo will be showing the Pacquiao v. Cotto megafight. Just watch out for that $8 peso Pepsi Light.
Suerte,
Rock Harders
I'm sure all the regular posters now about El Alamo, but in case someone new reads this thread I thought I would write this.
I've been to El Alamo twice and both times have had absolutely great experiences. In my opinion the service is excellent. I went there to watch a televised soccer match between two obscure (from an Argentinian point of view) countries, and both times the staff let me occupy one of the screens even though I was the only one interested in the games and there were a bunch of college football games on at the same time at my first visit.
Oh, and I was never left with an empty bottle / glass. That's definitely appreciated while watching soccer.:-)
PS: I realize that I might look like a shill, but that's not the case. I just wanted to compliment a business that provides a service I couldn't find anywhere else in town, and at the same time does quite a good job.
