Anyway, I'm waiting to go to the new Chipotles because the average wait right now is 1 hour.

Not unlike what actually happened with Taco Bell.<BR/><BR/>Do you know <I>The Year of Endless Sorrows</I> by Adam Rapp? I've barely started it, but here's an excerpt from the first chapter, which I heartily endorse.<BR/><BR/>"We're from the midwest mostly. We're from Lawrence and Davenport and Dubuque. We're from Kanakee and Oswego. We're from Griffith and Joliet and Mechanicsville. Platteville and Green Bay. And Altoon and DeKalb and Clinton. ... In the winter, with the aluminum taste of frigid air in our lungs, we can look out over tractor-scarred fields of frozen mud and know exactly who we are. We were raised with tornado culture and good dental histories. When we came to New York we left behind pets. We left behind coaches and priests. We left behind friends who went to work for insurance companies. We left behind half-dead cars and VCRs and laminated baseball-card collections. We left behind two-lane, mercilessly straight, never-ending highways. We didn't say goodbye to everybody. We couldn't possibly have said goodbye to everybody."Clairehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15249299228094629016noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2184288255324116124.post-28713744860310432752008-02-13T12:40:00.000-06:002008-02-13T12:40:00.000-06:00I'm shocked that there is nothing about Taco Bell ...I'm shocked that there is nothing about Taco Bell on this list. It's one of your defining qualities. That, and Mountain Dew, which Charlie now calls "Daddy's juice".Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
