Argentinians know how to grill meat and drink good wine. Been down there twice.

Don’t know about the ladies as I am married and took a vow to be faithful to my wife over 40 years ago but I did notice the Brazilian and Argentinian ladies seem to have long hands. I figured it must be the European genetics???

Bet you never noticed it.
 
Argentinians are very sociable people and love staying up late at night socializing. They run around sipping on some sort of tea out of silver looking pots which they pass around to each other for sipping. I first thought they were doing some kind of drugs ..pot or something... as it reminded me of pot days (water pipe) but they told me it was some sort of healthy tea. Then someone gifted me a new pot and someone gifted me a bag of the stuff to put it in. Upon return to the USA iI did not get arrested at the airport so I guess it was all ok.
 
I may need to dig that pot out and the bag of tea and make some and see if it will help my sex life. I am getting old and anything like that stuff may help?? @ Mpas do you know of what I speak of (that tea) and is it good??

yerba matey. US keyboard so no accent marks available but the second word the accent is on the second syllable. An acquired taste. I never acquired the taste. Tried it, had all the paraphernalia, didn't like it.

I love your rant on metrics. To this day i have NEVER liked nor cared for the metric system. I remember very well in the 60’s when in school the rest of the world was pushing it on us. We should have stuck by our guns and made them go to inches..feet.,yards..miles..gallons..etc. Now the whole blasted thing has infiltrated our system and made life so very difficult. It is a terrible system. IMO. We had it right. The rest of the world was and is wrong!

Jesus was a carpenter. I am absolutely positive he measured in inches (a thumb width) and feet or maybe cubits and/or handspans, though he might have had a different name for them since English wasn't invented yet. He certainly didn't measure in centimeters. If inches are good enough for Jesus, they are good enough for me.

No, he measured in whatever measurement system was in place in that region at that time. Since he was a Jew, and most Jews used cubits, then cubit was the unit of measurement he most likely used. It was not "inches".
 
A cubit would be an unhandy unit when making for instance dovetail joints in a chest. Think about it. Would he have cut mortises to the nearest 256th or 512th of a cubit? Nah. He would have preferred the nearest 1/32 of an inch or so. half of a half of a half of a half of a half. Or whatever the Aramaic word for a thumb width was. I would think he would have already interpolated those fractions and marked them on a personal rule of some sort.

As growley said,you are referring to the "mate".The "mate"has been around for so long in the argentinian culture,and has become a symbol of friendship and sharing (in general drinking mate is not an individual activity,but involves a group of person like you said they pass around to each other for sipping.)Glad you like my country!

I have always been curios about what kind of meat do you eat in the US?Because here in Argentina a steak/beef is common to eat almost everyday,but when i went to the US the meat on the supermarkets was very expensive(in comparison to Argentina).
