Just wanted to say THANKS guys. This thread is fantastic. I don't have anything important to add to the discussion, which is why I'm leaving this message here rather than breaking up the middle of the discourse, but the way you've all made intelligent posts, kept the tone civil - you've all gone up in my estimation.
It may not be film music related, but this is EXACTLY what I wanted when I started up this board.
;D

You know . . .
It's a dirty little secret, but I have to admit . . . I've actually been curling up in front of my moniter late at night and munching on a bowl of popcorn, watching the Spiritual Stock Car races go by. It's kind of fun sitting on the sidelines and watching the theologians at play. Though, I haven't seen so many Christians in one place since that time I told that group of Bible Campers I saw the face of God in a tortillia at the Wheaton Taco Bell.
That was fun.
The manager claimed it was a miracle. Personally, I find it miraculous that anyone wants to eat at Taco Bell in the first place.

Personally, I find it miraculous that anyone wants to eat at Taco Bell in the first place Try living in a country where there IS no Taco Bell. Believe me, you'll soon come to appreciate that crunchy, cheesy, chilli-fied goodness that it the king of all snack foods. Seriously, in terms of actual miles, the closest Taco Bell to my house is in Stockholm, Sweden. And, yes, I have contemplated flying over there solely for a gordita. Why do you think I'm moving to LA??

I'm trying . . . but they seem to be everywhere ... unless ... no, wait, there's one in Uganda, too. Damn. "I" might appreciate it, but the poor suckers trapped in the elevator with me probably won't. Still too close for my tastes. Obviously not for good food, that's for sure. But you ARE British, so I forgive you. I know, culinarily speaking, that's a difficult racial handicap to overcome. ;D I WILL, however, toast to your candy tonight. [glow=red,2,300]PLJ[/glow]

Taco Bell is a godsend, Tex. Ah, the memories.... "Kühni, that looks poisonous!"

Meat out of a HOSE, dude. Why can't you people grasp this simple, terrifying concept? And yeah, Kuhni, you were all smiles . . . until you came out of that bathroom. ;D Woof![glow=red,2,300]PLJ[/glow]

To paraphrase an early opening line - spoken by the housekeeper - from the stage play Meet Me in St. Louis: Taco Bell has that taco smell.[/b]

To paraphrase an early opening line from Marcel Proust's A la recherche dutemps perdu: "Combien de du client de la cloche de taco sont morts?"

"Combien de du client de la cloche de taco sont morts?" Is this sentence grammatically correct? Olivier? Hmm... Oh, and, yeah:

I used to eat and enjoy Taco Bell quite often. Me and my college friends had regular early AM runs for the border and it was a frequent lunch stop when I was working... now, I've pretty much dropped fast food from my diet and I've only been to Taco Bell maybe three times or so in the past year. Frankly, after so much time away the thought of it has become sickening.
