Sergio: this is what BabelFish (http://babelfish.altavista.com/babelfish/tr) returned:

"E I bet that here nobody understands if I to me to speak in Portuguese. Of time in when he has good sucatas in the Ebay!"

But what is a sucatas?

The only advice that I can give you is to resort to the proven power of the Internet...

Does sucatas mean garbage or junk?

didn't Sylvester (Not the pseudoaction-actor) always say; "sufferin sucatas"?

(Fan of Sat morning cartoons)

Indeed, 'sucata' ('sucatas' is the plural form) is Portuguese for junk, trash, rubbish, etc..

I don't know about this Sylvester line - it's been many years since I last saw Sylvester cartoons.

Sylvester said "Suffer'n Succotash!!!" --- a Native American dish consisting of lima beans and corn kernels cooked together.

Now if you know the story behind Succotash you get extra points...

Well, it was a staple dish of the Narragansett Indians, which probably explains why the tribe went into decline.

Or do you mean the story of how I would feed my succotash to our dog when my parents weren't looking?

No actually I was looking for the story about how it was originally an Indian's name that later became associated with that retched dish. But you spelled "Narragansett" so that's good enough.
