Re: From SKY SEEDS

Thanks everybody. (Some of dafydd's objections are answered when the piece is in the context... Chilango--being a person from MExico CIty--has been introduced and the fact these guys are Mexicans is know)

One I mention here because it's kind of cute. The buttload thing (buttload or shitload is american slang for "a lot", don't know if it's common in UK) is because their smuggling requires them to either eat, then pass jewels, etc. or carry them inside body cavities. It's a running gag: a previous deal with a jeweler who offers to pay them in credits, then in gold, Nabo says, "Do you have anything that's kind of cylindrical and smooth?"

I generally feel I should contradict or object to anything when asking for free feedback, but:

You just noted him speaking about six lines above.

Thanks again, everybody
