OK, so I was wrong. Sue me.
So I was mistaken in my take on Taco Bell's contest and the language they used to describe the desired entries.
Even I pull my tin foil on tight once in awhile.
I'm just as human as the next guy.
To Taco Bell, I'm sorry.
To you folk visiting from DU to bitch/gloat, I'm human, and I don't walk on water. I even make mistakes once in awhile.
I'm man enough to admit it, and own up to 'em.
Life goes on.

Posted by: McGehee at May 21, 2004 10:02 PMIt's weird. I never heard that phrase myself before today. But I Googled it, and sure enough, it does sound like it's used that way a lot. Go figure.
I think my reaction might well have been the same as yours.

Semi-on topic, I discovered that the little healthy food market next to my office complex carries lots of annoying publications. It's kind of shocking to be waiting in line and seeing "Earth First!" (for the very capitalistic price of $4.50). Now that I looked I've seen Adbusters (which had that odious Neoconservative=Jew piece a month or so ago), Utne Reader and Z Magazine also in the checkout lines.

This may be why the Bush Judicial Nomination Review Board doesn't return my phone calls.

Did I mention my number's unlisted?
Posted by: McGehee at May 22, 2004 03:32 PMCareful. I have a gordita, and I know how to use it.
