The mighty, meaty wind emanating from El Castillo de Jagua

I did say "crudely traslates" btw.

Viento de Carne

Fuck it, i prefer carneviento

The aroma reminds me of my abuela's kitchen in Puerto Rico. Amazing!

This might explain the increase in local’s cholesterol levels

Fall, winter and spring, I like to use the carneviento as a hair dryer. Summertime I hug the wall while my girlfriend usually takes a wide route around it.

OMG! The meat vent! I hold my breath. And, I like to have friends affirm its nastiness by walking them by it and saying "isn't this totally gross? It's the meat vent."

Blech. Makes me feel greasy just thinking about it.

Gran Castillo de Jagua should hold a contest offering free cuban sandwiches to the neighborhood couple that can hold the longest sustained kiss while under the meat-vent. Terrific promotion, no?

This neighborhood watch thing is going well. I see you've targeted an environmental issue

this whole topic (the meat vent) is, well,

ewwww ....
yuck ...
odious ...

and, not to mention ...

odiferous

I specifically sought out the meat vent on Saturday and stood in its mighty wind in order to honestly answer this poll. I find the strength of airflow disturbing but the smell enticing. Blow on, el carneviento!

It could be said that at times, my life could be summed with these words.

You guys are not going to believe the photo I got of that thing. Words can't describe it.

It's not masturbating, is it?

I would not be surprised if it was ... but hey, I'm no prude ... do what feels good ...

:P

I'm vegetarian and can appreciate the smell of meat sometimes but carneviento is nasty. Seconded only to a dad fart in the car on a hot summers day.

Good one Emily

I want to know what's so hot about this photo that DH can talk about it but not post it yet. I think he's pixellating the naughty bits out.

People are looking at me funny, laughing all alone in my office...

My god, what a powerful image. Ickily poetic.

It completely grosses me out. Its the only reason why I've never eaten there, even though I've heard that the food is awesome. That, and the fat-splattered window to the right of the Meat Vent where they often appear to be soaking chickens in steaming lard.

Don't get me wrong... I like a greasy, meaty meal just as much as the next guy... but that oily breeze turns my tummy each and every time.

I always attributed that smell to fried yuca, not fried meat.

Subject: Band Potential

You realize that if you did form a band called "A Meaty Wind", in 20 years Christopher Guest could do a mockumentory about your reunion tour.

Think of the possibilities.

For our nesxt board get-together, instead of playing air hockey, we should get one of those slip-n-slides and set it up outside el carneviento. We'll all come in our bathing suits and glide down the meat slide, baby!

You're goddamn right we should.

Woulda been cooler if it was meat spritzer all over the keyboard.

Man, does that sound dirty. Sort of like the time when one friend of mine said something about "the skin flute" and another friend thought it was an actual musical instrument.

I had to walk past this morning to experience it for myself. Yum...that chicken smell made me so hungry!

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH! My eyes! :shock: :idea: :shock:
