kudos brotha!@>> i mean big sexy
COUGH COUGH....
I'd show ya Storm but my wife would kill us both...
...and, ZOZOBRA is the burning of old man doom and gloom, or the god of bad luck... i was told it was some ancient aztec or mayan ritual and then some guy incorporated it in the 1950's and started a festival , the ZOZOBRA Festival, in Sante Fe New mexico. They burn an effigy of ZOZOBRA there and people write down on paper all the bad/ sad things in their life and then burn them at the effigy.
We burn ZOZOBRA, gOD OF BAD LUCK!!!
p.s.
Thank you LlLDEVEAU ! ! !
