Taco Bell

[jpberg]

How in the hell does one get a college scholarship to study Sam Clemens (or anyone else for that matter)? I assume you're talking about the Sam Clemens who is better known as Mark Twain.

Taco Bell is great.
It was simple - good grades and a good essay on American literature.
The eighties were a great time to be a college student.

Did you learn?

It does on Veg.

Hard to get the veg anymore! Most restaurants sell it to a recycler and buying it post dumpster is closer to the cost of just regular diesel. Plus you still usually have to have a diesel tank for startup.

Long story here. I was in college on a scholarship to study Sam Clemens. We were doing an excavation at his in-laws farm, a beautiful place atop a steep hill.
First day heading up I had 3 passengers in the Rabbit. Maybe 50 feet from the apex the car just wouldn’t ascend any further. I had them all get out, and I made it to the top.
Taco Bell plays no part in this post.

If they hadn’t eaten that 1 extra fast food taco....

We were not guilty of that sin. No one had heard of Mexico in the eighties, other than bull fights.
Oh goodness, that’s probably a different thread.

Yes, I hope I am! When curiosity is gone life will feel over.

For the record, cases of Piels pounders were 12.99, Popov Vodka and Pub Club gin were 7.99/ plastic gallon jug.
I know about the liquor because my professor, who drove a ‘73 Dodge Dart, sustained himself on baloney sandwiches and booze until his thesis was accepted.

Did any professors drive Citroens?

Not to my knowledge. It was quite the plebeian college.
There was one who drove a Saab, and a few with Volvos.
We immediately reported them to HUAC.

They would probably be considered communists or just eccentric pipe smoking types who liked strange looking cars.

I figured commies, or some other undesirable.

And the Lowenbrau flowed freely. (Man I miss Lowenbrau.?. That swill brewed in Canada and stamped with Lowenbrau seal just wasn’t the same)

Haha.
150+ comments about Taco Bell?
Definitely TL/DR.
Solid competition for most absurd thread with the one about the friend's hairline issues.

When they changed to hospital colors in the late 90s (and only hired the high school rejects) in my local I got put off of the 'Bell. When they discontinued the Mexican Pizza, the chain became dead to me.
