    Sex with hot vampires (or even cold vampires) is panic-inducing. Take it from me. And calling for popular revolutions is something we squirrels do on a daily basis. Dukes' wives are not that hot, as it turns out. Sword-fighting with them is a waste of time. :D

    Children's TV. Longest running children's TV show in the world (started 1958). Famous for teaching kids to make things with sticky-backed tape.

    Children's tv show in Britain.

    You must have had some interesting experiences to have a noteworthy opinion on vampire/human sexual relations.

    What the heck is Chick-Fil-A? (Yes, I live in a cultural wasteland, don't judge. :wtf:).

    Chik-fil-a is just a fast food place. They have chicken. lol Chicken sandwiches, chicken strips. And waffle fries. I don't know much else, because I only get the strips. I mean, it's good.. But it's not wait-in-line-for-a-half-hour good. Even inside the lines are ridiculously long.

    Quite honestly, I'd rather wait in a line at Taco Bell... Or Jack in the Box.. Or Dairy Queen.

    No. I'm just a writer. You kind of have to have an imagination. ;)

    It is not someplace you want to eat. They have "tacos."

    I've just googled them - not something I've ever came across here. We have burritos though. I wonder if Taco Bell is what GTA was spoofing with 'Cluck'n Bell'.

    Blasphemy! Taco Bell over Chic-fil-a? I don't even know where to begin. While their "social platform" might be a little cringe worthy, I tend to not mix my fast food and politics. I find chicken sandwiches don't proselytize too much, especially considering how fast I consume mine. In addition to having the best chicken sandwiches around, the waffle fries are life changing. Best of all, however, is all the ones I've been too are spotless, well run, and filled with friendly employees.

    Okay, so maybe there is a little hyperbole going on here, but really, everyone needs to eat here once.

    Taco Bell is only the best fast food place ever! They have tacos and burritos and quesadillas and chalupas. And now..... BREAKFAST! You don't know heaven until you've had a breakfast burrito from Taco Bell.

    Waffles fries are French fries cut like waffles! :p They're not much different than normal fries.

    And @Trev_Star you win the argument on their buildings and staff. The most polite people I've ever encountered. Not just in the fast food industry, but ever. It's amazing they're able to get so many people to be so nice all the time!

    But Taco Bell is still my favorite... lol

    I must admit.. Discovering how many people don't know what all these things are is quite fun! lol I like learning about other cultures.

    I am certainly not an ardent Taco Bell hater (as many are), so I can understand your affection for it. Its late menu kept me alive and functional during some extended study binges and... well, less academic binges as well. Long live 4th meal.

    Lancie, waffle fries are french fry perfection shaped in to a lattice like structure. As far as I'm concerned, they are why God put potatoes on the earth.

    If I'm thinking of the right thing, we have them here. Potato waffles. I do love a potato waffle.

    Are you, by any chance, the CEO or major shareholder of Taco Bell? Because if you are, could you put a good pastrami sandwich on the menu? I love pastrami sandwiches, and there aren't any here in loathsome Southern California. Maybe I have to book a trip to New York.

    Pastrami sandwich sounds wayyyy too healthy to be on a Taco Bell menu. :rofl: Try Subway. Or Firehouse Subs. Or Arby's! I bet Arby's would do it.

    People that evidently have no comprehension of what an apostrophe's for and how to implement it correctly in a sentence.

    People that write 'per say' when they mean 'per se'. It's Latin, genius.

    I second all of these. Especially the last one. But did you see him on Celebrity Apprentice? I must admit, he was pretty awesome in the way he dealt with Omarosa. She's a horrible human being. :wtf:

    "Taco Hell! Taco Hell!" Sings the old master, "Encherido!"
    "Macho Burrito!" Everyone else joins in.

    Your lucky to not know the beast known as Taco Hell. It's full of tasty terrors topped with sour cream and nacho cheese. And then when you think you've gotten over their cheap prices and food, someone recommends it and then suddenly another Baja Blast doesn't sound so bad. A deviant combination.... And an epic representation of the capitalism we are subjected to on a daily basis.

    They're dazzled by the bounteous splendor of the place. Or they can't remember whether or not they left their shopping list in the car. :D

    But the Romantic poets generally weren't about kissy-kiss stuff. They were about Art and Nature and Death and The Meaning of Life.
