I wouldn't eat at restaurants with those names because typically places with names like those are shit. Worse mexican food I've ever had, worse than Taco Bell even, was at a place named Los Mariachis. I blame my brother for taking me there, I was ecstatic when I didn't get food poisoning.
Who says grace when eating at McDonald's? If I were Jesus, I really wouldn't want to take credit for the Big Mac.
We have one very good Mexican restaurant in town. It's called Under The Volcano. Our city is mostly mom n pop, American chains fail huge and fast here. Both Applebee's and Hooters went broke in three months in this town.
I just had the realization today that I'm finally reaching the age where I can start telling the younger generation to shut the fuck up when they think they're being edgy and pushing boundaries when they really have no idea what they're talking about. It feels nice.
Truth. I'm 37 and a miserable fucking cunt. Most of my day is spent wishing death upon most people, including myself. But hey, it's good to have a hobby, right?
WHOA, WHOA, WHOA. Do you even read what you write before you post it?! Taco Bell is the absolute worst food available. Seriously, I'd rather eat raw meat than eat there. Calling it "Mexican" food is a slap in the face to Mexicans and their culture. Hell, calling it "food" is stretching it. Have you ever had good Mexican food? You say you live "Somewhere west of New York," so I'm very skeptical that you would be able to find a good, authentic Mexican restaurant that wasn't substituting a good portion of the cuisine with Americanized versions of the original recipe. If you came down here to South Texas (Mexican food land), do you think you would be able to find, good, authentic New York style pizza very easily (you can't)? Or any other type of food that is representative of a region (French, Thai, Italian, Indian, etc.)?
Lol Dixie, I know good Mexican food. My parents live in San Diego, I lived in San Diego for a few years as well. Currently I live in Denver. So yea, I know my way around decent Mexican food. I also know the difference between TexMex, Baja Mex, etc. When I said Taco Bell was better than the place I ate at, it wasn't meant as a compliment to Taco Bell, it was just showing how horrible the food was. Quick question, do you think ground beef is Mexican? But good try at making me sound like I don't know what I'm talking about.
Touche, Chompsky. Anyway, you want to know what makes me irrationally angry? When you ask a woman (it's always a woman) what kind of music she likes, and she says "I like all kinds of music." (Cue facepalm.) NOBODY LIKES "ALL KINDS" OF MUSIC. Every person, whoever they are, has some kind of music that they regard as the aural equivalent of a shovel to the face. When this happens, invariably the woman will ask me what I like, and when I say what genre (metal, for example), she says "Oh, I don't listen to that," or if I mention some bands, she has no clue who I'm talking about. Oh, another interesting response I'll get is this doozie: If I say that I like country music, 9 times out of 10, her response will be "Oh, I don't like country music." So I guess you don't like "ALL KINDS" of music, do you? Talk out of your ass much, toots? (Yes, that happened to me last night.)
Actually there are people who really do like "all kinds" of music - they can say this because they're really not into music at all so have neither preferences or dislikes. Music, when it's present, it simply something that exists as background sound to them. These people are also soulless abominations and are to be shunned and avoided at all times.
I do, but to be fair, I make an effort to. I started jazz guitar lessons about a year ago because I didn't like the way I was playing, so I branched out to find something new. I like country. I like some rap (but to be fair, it has to be played with real instruments - the whole '100 most annoying sounds on a casio keyboard thing irritates me). I like classical (in small doses), I like country (old country, Willie, Waylon, Johnny, Hank Sr.), I like pop, I pretty much like anything that grabs my ear. Don't get me wrong, there's a lot of shit I don't like, but there's no genre that I hate without investigating it. Then again, I am a musician, play several instruments passably well, and am interested in what other people do. Then again, maybe I'm fucking crazy. That could be it.
I worked with a guy one time that would bring in a pound of raw ground beef in its original packaging, rip it open, and scoop it up with his first two fingers and eat it during lunch. One of the grossest things I ever saw. He laughed in the face of food poisoning. This was also the same guy who lost a finger jumping to get something off one of the racks in the warehouse and his ring got caught on it and bye-bye finger. He was rather proud of that and when I first met him showed it off and told me the story. The owner was next to me at the time and finally said to him, "okay, you need to stop, you're grossing me out." Technically what he did was against safety codes, but the owner kept him on because I think he was afraid of getting sued.
I'm probably late to the boat on this one, but am I the only one who suspects that Lamar Odom's recent issues are some sort of staged Kardashian bullshit?
Yeah, but sometimes younger people can provide a fresh perspective and get older people out of a comfortable rut. Or at least ask thought-provoking questions. What else is going to keep an older generation on its toes?
That will always be s fact. Some things have changed since last generation gap, though. It has gone from "Will you turn that noise pollution DOWN?!?!" to "Your music is too soft core, pussy."
