Taco Bell and Role Playing

9 Comments 22 April 2010

I’ll be doing quite a bit of guest posting during the month of April. The link to today’s guest post on Melanie’s ProseKiln blog is coming in a minute. It’s about role playing as a writer. Melanie was one of the winners of the “Can I Guest Post on Your Blog Contest”.

I drove past a Taco Bell last night and had a sudden urge to stuff 5 tacos in my face. Not sure how I resisted, but I did. And in the process I was reminded of a list I posted on my blog a few years ago. Here it is again for my newer readers…

Top 10 Reasons Taco Bell Should Not Be Consumed By Men over 30

(and yes, I realize I could probably drop the “by men over 30″ part.)

10. Their crunchy taco shells biodegrade slower than a plastic grocery bag full of styrofoam peanuts.

9. Many of us are married, and we actually enjoy sleeping in the same room as our wives.

8. While buying 5 or 6 items off the menu still makes financial sense, it’s digestive suicide.

7. Anything involving the words “triple” and “steak” will go through you faster than a hot knife through room temperature hummus.

6. Over 90% of the items on the menu feature enough to cheese to put you over your recommended daily allowance for the next 3 weeks.

5. Some of us are still trying to digest the chicken soft tacos we ate in 1995.

4. We’ve learned from experience that the difference between the Nachos Supreme and the Nachos Bellgrande is about 8 squares of Charmin Ultra.

3. Two Words: Volcano Taco

2. They got rid of the “yo quiero taco bell” dog. Unacceptable.

..and the #1 reason Taco Bell should not be consumed by men over 30…

1. “Gordita Baja” in English means: “Catastrophic Bowel Movement”

Thank you, thank you…I’ll be here all week.

And my guest post is now live at Melanie’s blog. Check it out.

It’s about how you can use role playing to help you be a better writer. (No not that kind, get your mind out of the gutter.)

Top Ten List: Taco Bell and Men Over 30

8 Comments 20 November 2008

My buddy Geof emailed me last night and said:

“Taco Smell was not designed to be consumed by men over 30. Discuss.”

Feeling inspired by the home of the fourth meal, I had a Top Ten List for him 20 minutes later.

And now, through the magic of the intertubes, I share it with you:

Top 10 Reasons Taco Bell Should Not Be Consumed By Men over 30

10. Their crunchy taco shells biodegrade slower than a plastic grocery bag full of styrofoam peanuts.


9. Many of us are married, and we actually enjoy sleeping in the same room as our wives.

8. We have good jobs now, so buying 5 or 6 items off the menu finally makes financial sense. Unfortunately, it’s still digestive suicide.

7. Anything involving the words “triple” and “steak” will go through you faster than a hot knife through hummus.

6. Over 90% of the items on the menu feature enough to cheese to satisfy your recommended daily allowance for the next 3 weeks.

5. Some of us are still trying to digest the chicken soft tacos we ate in 1995.

4. We’ve learned from experience that the difference between the Nachos Supreme and the Nachos Bellgrande is about 8 squares of Charmin Ultra.

3. Two Words: Volcano Taco

2. They got rid of the “yo quiero taco bell” dog!

..and the #1 reason Taco Bell should not be consumed by men over 30…

1. “Gordita Baja” in English means: “Catastrophic Bowel Movement”

Now get out there and make a run for the border!
