Sunday afternoon I was in Glencoe for the parade. It was a pretty good parade for a little town of 4,000+ people. There is something wierd going on tho...the waving. Instead of the various Princess' and Queens (you'd think this was the San Francisco Gay Pride Parade!!!) waving like, well, Princess' and Queens with their elbow bent at 90 degrees and forearm and hand perpendicular, the fingers together rotating about 180 degrees like a lighthouse beacon...they were moving their arms back and forth horizontally like they were using Pledge on a rather high table. Is that some sort of ergonomic thing? Whatever--its fucked up and they should get back to waving like a self respecting Queen. ("Oh girl!") The band from Oswego was great fun. Reminded me of marching in parades as a teenager.

In the Twin Cities in the 70's we didn't have Taco Bell. We had Zapata's. I guess the Mexicans were offended by a fast-food Mexican joint named after Emillio Zapata...one of their national heroes (Killer & Bandit that he was...) so they changed the name to Zantigo. Whatever.....it was an early-day Taco Bell. I was mentioning how much I hated driving in the Twin Cities and how it must be a sign of old age because I didn't even think about it 30 years ago. I told my nephew that I used to drive down I94, steering with my knees while I sauced my taco. He said that sounded perverted. Now that I think about it..it was. In the 'olden days' we used to have them cut our whopper in half. Shut the front door! It is sounding perverted again.

I am just sitting here trying to figure out what politician I hate the most...

btw...Oceans 13 sucks big-time!

What I remember most from Zantigos was the Quesadilla. It wasn't flat and toasted like the Taco Hell version. It was rolled up and heated to melt the cheese....mmmm. Also the chili cheese burrito was great. TC has a version that is terrific. When it comes to fastfood though...for me, not much beats a Whopper...or McDonald's fries. A perfect fastfood meal would be a Whopper, Mickey D fries, diet Mountain Dew from Taco Johns, a Chili Cheese burrito from Taco Bell, Chili from Wendy's and a couple of White Castles for dessert. mmmmm]]> Thu, 14 Jun 2007 08:02:05 +0000 http://robsherwood.com/blog/index.php?number=34#comment http://robsherwood.com/blog/index.php?number=34
