Hola Chulas y Chulos! How is the nonsense that we call reality treating you lately? ¿Puras locuras, no? Politics and current events are horrifying right now. My chancla and I are not ignoring those things, but we need a break from them so this week’s The Flying Chancla Report is covering another locura: the whole “Pokemon Go” craze. My chancla and I have not jumped in on this whole “Pokemon Go” adventuring bandwagon, but there is no denying that it is some kind of app-based phenomenon right now that is unavoidable.
- As you can see from this video, even abuelas are being affected and having to learn the names of these creatures. Love the part where she says, “Ay, mira como el Vaporu.”

- The other day my entire family unit was walking by a park and el marido asks, “Why are all those people staring at their phones?” and I was all like, “They are probably playing ‘Pokemon Go’ and this place must be some kind of a designated something on the game.”
I told you I haven’t played yet, so clearly I know none of the terminology. We saw this happen at a park so it was no big deal, but check out what can happen when “Pokemon Go” sends people to places that aren’t quite so open to the public, like Tiburcio’s (just in case you don’t know Tiburcio is a character played by Eddie G!, he’s not real, I mean Eddie G! is real, but Tiburcio is not)house…

- “And den den…” as my mother would say, there have even been incidents of fights breaking out over “Pokemon Go” as in this instance when one hardcore player is pissed that another player calls the Pokemon by the wrong names on purpose.

That’s it for this week’s The Flying Chancla Report. I love you mucho and remember, spread love, not chanclazos!
from the old-guy-who-put-quarters-into-a-machine to play video games:
Crazy but maybe not quite as crazy as attractive vampires that sparkle. Oh, wait there’s no sparkling vampires in Pokemon Go is there? Hopefully we can move on from this nutty fad and get back to blogging.
Oh I enjoyed the clips. Writing that has me thinking of chips so I need raid the cabinet now.
Thankfully I was recently saved by a BLT or I may have missed this fun post. I absolutely loved that fist video, I can so see my mom reacting the way she did. While I haven’t jumped on-board the Pokemon Go wagon, I do think it is pretty ingenious idea that is actually benefiting a lot of businesses and getting people off their butts and outside.
Nita, I got your gift! Thank you, it’s beautiful and it brought me so much joy.
I am very glad you like it and that it brought you joy. It makes me happy to know that I was able to return some of the joy that you have given me.
