Monomania Valentina: Or, How Well Do You Know Val Prieto?


Val Prieto at Babalú is running a contest to see who among his Valalusians is best acquainted with his personal history as showcased from time to time on his blog. There are three questions in all that might stump the Sphinx let alone anybody outside of Val's immediate family.

The first question asks Val's middle name (shades of Seinfeld). The next question is who designed Val's wedding invitations (shades of Seinfeld). The last question is what hotel on Miami Beach did Val & his family stay at during vacations (shades of Seinfeld).

The first to answer each question gets a copy of the children's book ¡Oye Celia! A Song for Celia Cruz. I hope Val kept a copy himself. He has to start learning Cuban history somewhere.

UPDATE:

Everybody is stumped. No surprise. Val has now instructed his readers to use his blog's search engine to find the answers.


UPDATE 2:

His middle name is "Jesús."

"OH MY GOD! before I read this article, Manuel.. We need a secret handshake - some series of mystical twists and slight of hand - a slapping, clapping, attention-grabbing spectacle that say welcome to Blahblahland...Hahaha joking,folks. The Secret society of Babalu.In keeping with their long secret society tradition of having an exclusive comemierdas crew.I hate to shake this stupid contest up, but Who really cares? Val is so full of himself that when he is touched he will implode. And once again, who cares? I understand, once You come down on Majesty Val,you risk having the weight of the entire cult coming down on you. WHO CARES?Who cares about this stupid contest and who cares who wins the stupid contest anyway?Moving on to the next subject,please..hahaha

LOL this is too damn funny, how indulgent and full of himself can one person be.

Any intelligent person may ask: how does this banal and silly contest advances the cause of Cuba's freedom? I thought this was paramount in our blogs. How self centered can someone be when there are an inumerable other things more important one can post about? Who cares what Val's middle name is? Or who cares who designed his wedding invitations? Is this even relevant? Babalu has certainly lost its compass lately. My God. Is this for real or what?

shadow of hostility have begun "Ziva" Blog for cuba, politely ask me to delete her from my blogroll..NO Problem! Oh, mighty is he who is master of Fool's!" Oh mighty Majesty! what wrong deed have I done that you send your disciples upon me.I shall speak my truth quietly and clearly...So, Yea, Bimbolusians bring it on!!In response to Ziva, I would quickly make two points. First, that I do think of them not as people but as Slaves of Val's imaginary island.Second, I care less,Sometimes the most obvious thing we can do with someone –especially when they are in the grip of destructive forces,is ignore them. Nah, that's to easy.I believe, the phrase is “BRING IT ON" Sometimes, toughness is required .

Vana said...

I was never a fan of Ziva.I don’t normally keep up on the details of Ziva's blog internet life. The angsty, teenager-esque crap on her blog have no interest in my life..Reading it, I can’t think of a more incisive example of a pathetic blogger gone downhill.Irish/Cuban she can't speak spanish,please..If you put a cigar in ziva's mouth, she would look like lassie taking a shit..She frequently has diarrhea of the mouth.Her face is a big hemorrhoid.
How much longer will we have to
listen to her opinions about everything that ever happened since the earth was created?
Nobody gives a shit about what she thinks. She just needs to shut up and get a life. Hear that Ziva, JUST SHUT UP!! Her mind have been so manipulated and she have been molded into such well-trained & behaved sheep by her Majesty Valrus.one last thing about ziva,She is a complete phony, a bully, and a mean spirited harpy.

¡Ya no más! and Vana:

The other BUCL boycott is against this blog. It is a boycott that its instigators themselves do not observe.
