Taco Tuesday

So Del Taco has this thing called Taco Tuesdays. You get 3 tacos for $0.99. My roommate and I decided we would take advantage of this and go for 9. And we did. And it was good. Until right about 5 minutes ago. It seems the tacos don't like being all cooped up inside of a person and decided to get out and see the world. However, being the sneaky fellas they are they decided to leave through the back door. Despite this they still managed to cause quite a ruckus and disturbed the peace greatly.


That is all.

Speaking of tacos, I should eat some. Haven't eaten out in months.

There's this place called the Big Burrito where I used to live. Every Sunday is "buy one Don't Even Think About It, get one free" day. The Don't Even Think About It is nearly 2 feet long and at least 3 or 4 in diameter. So whenever possible me and my roommate would head out there on Sunday, each get our very own "18 inches of pleasure" and get a movie on the way home. Total: around $20 altogether. Rule was, no getting up from the couch until every last bit was gone. Every Monday, we hated life. But every Sunday, we were back at the Big Burrito.

I guess I told you all this to let you know: I feel your pain.

I know what ya mean. Although it isn't all that pleasant, I predict I will be back next week, although I think 9 was a bit much...

Its time like this when I feel so very lucky to have an strong stomach.

For the most part, spicy food doesn't even phase me.

Believe it or not, I hate Chalupas. Not a case of self-loathing, but the nickname was given to me by shipmates on a cruise a few years ago due mainly to me being half Mexican. I'll eat a few soft tacos at Taco Bell, but that's as far as I'll venture into their menu...

Back in the day, a friend and I would go up to our local KFC and get those little sandwichs they called chicken littles and sold for 33 cents a shot. We'd buy about thirty of 'em and a coke each and head back to our office. By two o'clock we'd be sitting there doing nothing but moaning. Still I wept a little when KFC stopped selling those chicken littles.

Tuesday at one of our local clubs, Tiki Bobs, means 10 cent tacos and 25 cent beers. Half of my dart team shows up loaded for bear and makes it difficult to play for the rest of us.

Hail Tacoists!

Giant Taco was a close, personal friend of mine.
<img src="http://www.puertoricocompra.com/Clientes_Comida/TacoBell/Taco.jpg" width="550" height="500">

We took calculus together in school.

He would always tell me, “GH, a taco is the solid formed by bending a circular tortilla around a cylinder and filling it to the border. A natural problem is to find the cylinder that yields the taco of largest volume for a tortilla of a unit radius. For circular cylinders the volume of the taco is a Bessel function of the cylinder's radius, and for cylinders with other familiar cross-sections the volume of the corresponding taco also involves special functions. But in each case, with the aid of a computer algebra system the methods of calculus can be applied to find the taco of maximal volume. However, the general case is a nontrivial problem in the calculus of variations. The existence of a taco of maximal volume for a suitably general class of cylinders can be proved, and numerical experiments are given to show how the shape and volume of this "world's largest taco" can be approximated. This formula will lead me to the taco of my dreams.”

I miss him.

When you say "big fat taco"... should we be stopping at Del Taco, or did you mean for us to send one of the whores?

My vice is McDonald's double cheeseburgers. They are only 1 penny more than the regular cheeseburger, so why not. We grab about ten of them and everyone digs in. I swear as soon as I unwrap the first one, my intestines start to sieze up, but I'll be back next week.

There is a downside to taco Tuesday. On mine I have rice instead the meat and they charge me an extra 1.40.

I'd be real worried about any place that charges me 2 1/2 times as much for rice as for "meat."

Hahah, no shit. I have tried to get them to not charge me more, but they don' care. I guess it is more work to put on the rice instead of the meat.
