Un regalo por Popo? Translation: "A gift for Popo?" It's a simple question, and one that I've heard many times. If, unanswered, perhaps a sucker punch to the stomach - #1?. But, sucker punch no more, the question is dead, and MBNR says; "RIP Popo."

I now recall my first meeting with Popo, via the entrance of Backyard Bar, Costa Rica, Mid October 1999. I was not prompted with the above question, rather a bold statement: "BEEEEERRRRRR.....BEEEEEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRR!". The small Tico man voiced this "liquid" concern with a mix of passion and desperation, and I was glad to help. An Imperial drinker, "at the time", I happily clipped off a sixer single for the local Popo. It was my first gift, and welcoming to the "Champ" philosophy. In exuberant fashion, my Imperial hand-off generated his equally vigor reply "BEEEEERRRRRR.....BEEEEEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRR!"

AMEN Popo....MBNR members will always share some of your passion & desperation for "BEEEEERRRRRR.....BEEEEEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRR!"!!!!!!

Pura Vida Popo! BEER.
