    General Comment:por goofiar is Puerto Rican slang for "for kicks," "for laughs," or "to have a good time"

    General Comment:Paco Picopiedra is Pixie-spanglish for the Fred Flintsone "he receives on his set". What about La Muneca (the wrist)? Why reference "wrist"?

    And what the heck is "por goofiar"

    General Comment:For those who get kicks out of funny language twists, Paco is a common nickname for Francisco, which is the Spanish version of... Francis. I think the Pedro Picapiedra version is the correct one, but wasn't that fun??

    As for the song, yeah, it's all about a crazy roommate of Frank's. It sounds like a fucking speed rush indeed, kinda scary. I love how he puts all those Spanish words (some with a fairly reasonable accent) in the verses, then adding his trademark id-channeling screams and barks in the lightning-fast chorus. Kudos to Joey for coming up with a mangled squeal during those chorus...

    Classic.

    General Comment:I seem to recall the lyric being "he receives in his head" and "I'm afraid you'll hurt me, boy." I like this song a lot, though. He sounds every bit as insane as his room-mate probably was, and much more scared.
