So it was just as simple as Pablo coming up with the names, "Hundo" and "Lil' Switchblade". For the last 13 years or so Pabs will call me "Lil' (whatever is on his mind)" and we have a big laugh! This night the name du jour was "Lil' Switchblade" - which made us crack up more than it should've. Seconds later, in his too cool, "O.G." swagger, he refered to a $100 bill as a "hundo" - which set us off for another few hysterical minutes. When we put the two names together as a duo was when we really started losing it! It just sounded like the perfectly cheesy 80's buddy team!
e.g.: Tango and Cash:
Turner and Hooch:
B.J. and The Bear:
Here's each of our renditions of what this dynamic duo would look like:
 |
| Pab's Hundo |
 |
| Pab's Hundo 2.0 |
 |
| Pab's Lil' Switchblade |
 |
| Pab's Lil' Switchblade portrait |
 |
| Rod's Hundo & Lil' Switchblade |
As you can see we both were going in the same direction with how we saw this imaginary odd couple. Essentially "Hundo" is a big galoot and "Lil' Switchblade" is a Chicano with obvious gang ties!
In future satchel entries you'll come across this experiment again. Some kind of misfit or another will come in to the restaurant and before you know it two or more of us have done their own rendition of the poor slob. It's pretty twisted to see the different versions we come up with.
And here's Pabs' updated version of this buck wild pair:
