Free Taco Day!!!

Another wonderful day is drawing near. A day that is up there with Christmas and Talk Like A Pirate Day. It's Free Taco Day and this year is is tomorrow, Tuesday October 28th from 2pm-6pm at your local Taco Bell.

For the second year in a row Taco Bell has offered America a free taco if someone steals a base in any game of the World Series. Last year it was Jacoby Ellsbury of my beloved Boston Red Sox who won us all a free taco, this year it was some Devil Ray. I don't even know which one and his name is not important. It's as trivial as who gave up Mark McGwire's 62nd home run in 1998. The answer to that is: who cares, give me my free taco dammit!

If you are really bored you could go to www.stealabasestealataco.com and read more about Free Taco Day. I nearly fell asleep just typing the name of the website in my browser window so good luck with that. The only thing you really need to know is it's tomorrow, from 2pm-6pm. I learned last year you want to get there early, right at 2pm, before the high school kids get there. You want to savor your free taco, live in the moment and take it all in - and this is all hard to do with 15 whiny teenagers in close proximity.

I even thought about making a map of all the local Taco Bells in the area and hitting each one for a free taco but then I decided that sounds like work. Besides, one meal from Taco Bell is plenty. In fact, the last time I ate at Taco Bell was on Free Taco Day last year.

Mood: Hungry!

Song of the Day:

"I said pressure drop, oh pressure, oh yeah pressures gonna drop on you..."
