Fat, ugly furry worms!

Posted by southron on November 20th, 2007

This is Harry the Westie again.
I would like to thank the fat guy in the wheelchair for setting the record straight about Lucy and her brats, err, ummm, I mean puppies.
Let me make one thing doggedly clear! I was mislead!!! Someone in the office circulated that cute picture of those adorable little Westie […]

A Thanksgiving Shoutout from the Copperhead

Posted by Copperhead on November 20th, 2007

Thanksgiving Greetings From the Copperhead
Hello UY Living gang. I apologize for the long absence from posting I have been busy sending carpet baggers back north and researching how to distill Uruguay corn into good bourbon :)
This past year has seen some incredible growth for UY Living and The Sociedad Southron. The Thursday evening […]

Big Mac Day in Uruguay!

Posted by southron on November 16th, 2007

Every year since 1992 the people of Montevideo have lined up to buy as many Big Macs as they can from celebrities and public officials working the counters at Ronald McDonald’s place. The reason is that all of the profits from the sale of Big Macs today are donated to Fundación Peluffo Giguens […]

Sorry Harry! You are 0 for 8….

Posted by southron on November 15th, 2007

I think my Westie got a little carried away earlier today and made a few slightly exaggerated claims regarding disputed parentage.

We have octuplets and they all look like Hassan (the dog from Piriapolis) and Lucy, not a patch of white anywhere…
I guess you’re stuck […]

Puppies!!!

Posted by southron on November 15th, 2007

Today we have a guest writer.

Hello, My name is Harry and I am a West Highland White Terrier, or “Westie” if you prefer. For the last 7 years I have lived with the fat guy in the wheelchair in a whole bunch of places: some hot, some cold, some ugly, some nice—in most […]

Hollywood in Parque Prado

Posted by southron on November 14th, 2007

Last night Borko and I were having dinner at Cafe Misterio in Carrasco with an attorney friend. We were there mainly so I could have good sushi and Borko didn’t have to endure it. For some reason the only fish he likes is a nasty bottom feeder that only lives in the lakes […]

Oops! The clock fell backwards and I missed it…

Posted by southron on November 6th, 2007

This past Sunday the Yankees (and occupied Confederacy too) turned their clocks backwards as they went from Daylight Saving Time to Standard Time.
This is the last time change relative to Uruguay for about 6 months—so for those of you who are timechangeophiles, you need to find a new hobby for a while.

In the meantime, this […]

On Thursday 22 November at our usual Thursday Open House we will be celebrating Thanksgiving Day. (This is my favorite Yankee holiday because it includes lots of food!)
In keeping with our tradition if integrating Gringo and Uruguayo customs, we will be having BOTH traditional Uruguayan ASADO and traditional American TURKEY and stuffing.
The turkeys are […]
