Annnd just for fun, here's an El Cortez Fable. . . . . .
Little is known of Edmonton's El Cortez. . . Some say it has been in the city for years, while others say it does not exist at all. . . The only known evidence of it's existence is an abstruse interview between El Diablo and an unnamed Horseman.
The following is a transcript of the interview, which took place in an undisclosed location, at an unknown date, somewhere in Edmonton, Canada. The conversation lasted exactly 6 minutes, El Diablo permitted the horseman to ask him 6 questions, and during the interview, El Diablo drank 6 shots of tequila.
The interview. . .
Horseman: What brings you to Edmonton?
El Diablo: The El Cortez. . . And the beautiful women
Horseman: What is the El Cortez?
El Diablo: The El Cortez is freedom. It is expression. And it's a great place to grab a taco.
Horseman: And the women? Tell me about them. . .
El Diablo: Tequila + Women = Sexo
Horseman: Tequila?
El Diablo: El Cortez is a tequila bar, you idiot.
Horseman: When is the world going to end?
El Diablo: The minute you grow up, and stop living.
Horseman: Ok, so where do I find "this" El Cortez?
El Diablo: You don't find the El Cortez. . . The El Cortez finds you. . .
