I think pinon and pignoli are cognates. Like Renaissance and Renacimiento.
Which could segue into a whole thing about ESPN Deportes, and how mixed-American Spanish adopts the funniest English words in the service of fast recaps, but I'll desist.
You got all kinds of learnin' and you made me look the fool without tryin', and yet here I am with a gun to your head. That's 'cause I got people with me. People who trust each other, who do for each other, and ain't always lookin' for the advantage.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
I never remember html entities.

Spanglish was the most commonly spoken language where I grew up. It doesn't even make me blink.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I don't watch a lot of American-Spanish TV; and I've never watched sports coverage. It was pretty funny, then, to discover that "Y saque el out" and "está safe en home" are both legitimate phrases in beisbol.
They interviewed Vinny Castilla in his native tongue, and he was going on rapidly in Spanish, paused, said "en los gaps," and switched back. Like he'd forgotten how to say "gaps" in Spanish, or the Spanish word wasn't specialized enough for the outfield meaning he intended.
The best part? The Nationals (no translation) played the Milwaukee Cerveceros (Brewers), and the Red Sox lost horribly to the Atléticos. I know that foreign media translate Red Sox to Medias rojas, so I don't know why American Spanish media don't. But it's kind of cute.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
So, do we think Fox will only show The Inside when there's no American Idol, or what?

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Fox upfronts.
There is no The Inside on that list.
heh. That's what I get for being cat delayed.

It's not been clear that Fox plans for The Inside after the 13 week run.

I'm all groggy from four hours sleep after Star Wars.
Folks, Lucas was serious when he put PG-13 on this one. If at all possible, go to it before you take smallish/sensitive kids to this, because there are places where a hand over eyes is not a bad thing. And when the Jedi go down--which is not a spoiler, since we knew the event happened back in the first movie--they go down hard and messy.
It's not a subtle movie, but it's a way cool movie.
