Pac Man: "I think Zorro is the only (Mexican) left" (for him to fight)

Thanks, dawg -- that took some work. :thumbsup

There is one other piece of information to add, however:

www.answers.com/topic/mexico-country-north-america

Some people are bound to be wondering when Greater Mexico (my own term, meaning the area that was part of Mexican lands in 1821 that were north of the Rio Grande) became part of the USA. So I just wanted to provide that info.

Based on all the information and the changes going on in the New World at the time, then, the original Zorro could probably have correctly identified himself as Spanish, Mexican or even American closer to the end of his fictional existence. However, if the one cited article is correct, then the historical figure whom Zorro is based on was in fact a Mexican born in the area of Greater Mexico, also sometimes referred to as [FONT=arial,sans-serif][SIZE=-1]Aztlan:

Aztlan is a whole different discussion, however (mostly based on what its territorial boundaries are supposed to encompass). For a summary of the concept, see here:

Anyway, I liked Pac's joke. Best line I've heard from a fighter in awhile. :thumbsup

 

Don't sleep on Zorro, though. He's a very live underdog and I heard he has a killer left hook. :good

 

Thanks, bro! :good

The only reason I haven't called The Grind yet is because I've been going through some health issues and am just caught up with various things. I'll ping you a quick PM about this.

Take care, my friend. All the best. :thumbsup
