    I never liked the term Montezuma’s Revenge. Moctezuma the Second was an accomplished leader and deserves more respect than to have his name misspelled with a diarrhea diagnosis.

    That being said I got it right as I left Mexico from vacation and prayed for death to take me.

      I like the idea that he’s so powerful and vengeful that he’s returning from the grave to fuck with Europeans

        His name translates roughly “angry lord” or “lord he who frowns/grimace” so I like the idea he’s just mean mugging the descendents of man until the end of time.

      I totally agree with you on Moctezuma. Tourists ruin everything. Especially their own digestive tracts.
