The Mrs. and I watched a movie by that name the other night. I don’t recommend it. It got all these great reviews, but I can’t see why. How can I go wrong with a western set in Australia? I aksed myself. “The Proposition” was my answer.
This proposition is way better though, and if I had a Playstation 3 I would agree in a heartbeat. Taco Bell is offering $12,000 in Taco Bell Bucks to the first person willing to give up their new PS3 to the Boys and Girls Club. As the article points out, this is enough Taco Bell Bucks to get a taco every day for the next 54 years. I’m not sure how long it would last me though. My favorite food is tacos.
It is probably for the best that I don’t have a PS3 to trade in. I don’t remember learning any rhymes about health that started with “A taco a day”. If there was a saying like that it would probably end with “means you’ll need a bidet” or some other reference to the digestive process.
Couple things…
LOVE that you’re back at it (blogging).
Yeah, $12,000 Bell Bucks would probably sell me too.
Also, total bummer about The Proposition. I read a review and saw who was involved, and I was really looking forward to it. On the other hand, maybe it would be more appealing for those of us with a greater respect for the subtle nuances of the English language (burn). Of course, that’s just an induction on my part. Regardless, I look forward to more updates to your blog. Hopefully, the posts will come more frequently than on a bimonthly basis. Just six per year would be wanting indeed.
First - Nigad, you’re right. It’s good that he’s back at it (blogging).
Second - TL;DR.
Third - HEY-OH! BIDETS! That’s HILARIOUS. I
… erm. I “heart” it. But apparently something that looks like it might be opening an HTML tag means… well, that I’m trying to write some sort of HTML tag. Dammit.
A Fourth Meal A Day Means Good Health Goes Away.
What does $12,000 come to in pre-E.Coli dollars?
December 6, 2006 — Taco Bell Corp. announced today that it has removed green onions at all of its approximately 5,800 restaurants nationwide. The move is strictly a precautionary effort following recent E.coli 0157:H7 outbreaks believed to be linked to several of its restaurants in New Jersey, New York and Pennsylvania. The company has been working around the clock with State and County Health Department officials in these three states, along with the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to determine the root cause of this issue.
“In an abundance of caution, we’ve decided to pull all green onions from our restaurants until we know conclusively whether they are the cause of the E.coli outbreak,” said Greg Creed, Taco Bell President. In an off camera remark made while he was still mic’d Mr. Creed acknowledged “green onions” is code for “the meat-ish brown material we think was part mammal.”
