They need not drive on busy roads, nor highways, however.

I'll cycle wherever the bloody hell I want. Don't want me on the pavement (sidewalk to you yanks)? Try dodging buses and other traffic in complicated junctions when nobody sees you.

I hate it when people who come to Subway call our Chipotle sauce "chi-POTT-le." And when they call jalapeños "juh-LAW-penoes."

It makes me want to ask them what in the HELL is a "juhlawpenoe" ?! :evil:

That's a hazard you face not living in a part of the world that is being overrun with Mexicans.


Not that I have anything against Mexicans, mind you. They build good roofs and make good food.

I had tacos for supper. I love all mexican food except tacos. It's not even food. It's like beef salad on chips. Exemption of taco hating happens when they are soft shelled. Maybe I don't hate tacos, maybe I just hate taco shells. YEAH!

Pet peeve: taco shells.

I did it one time and I liked it
So I did it two times, got addicted
Had to do it three times, couldn't help it
And the number four time was the best

Crispy Tacos were invented in Austin, Texas.

Lettuce is not a common mexican food.

I chose to NOT adorn my tacos with lettuce. Beef, cheese, tomatoes, salsa, guac and sour cream with a sprinkle of hellsfire usually round out a taco made by me.

You live too far north, if someone were to walk into a Subway in Texas and say that the responce would probably be "¿Que?" "I sorry, no hablo ingles" (Yes, that was a joke about most Subway employees here being hispanic, I can hardly order a fucking Sandwhich)

Just to point out, the only traditional mexican ingredients in that list are tomatos, chiles, and guacamole. You're thinking of Tex-Mex. Not that it isn't delicious, but it's not exactly mexican food.

I live in Canada. I'll take what I can get. Considering that I have to go to specialty food stores to get half the ingredients to make something Mexican other than tacos, I don't really care. This thread has made me crave refried beans at 8 am. *sigh* This is what spurs me to go to San Diego annually.

... People who can't spell "hypocrites" or "hypocrisy." It's not "hypocrits," nor is it "hypocracy" ... unless, in the latter case, you're thinking of a death metal band.

On the subject of cars and interstate:

The car that passes you, gets in front of you, then slows down. So you pass them. This obviously infuriates them, so they pass you again, just to prove their point (aka Nothing). Bastards.

This is my absolute pet peeve. I was driving from Ft. Worth to Lubbock once and I had a car do that to me the whole fucking way, but there were gaps. I mean I would get ahead and not have to deal with them for like 20 minutes and then here they come to spend another 10 minutes trying to prove that they can get me to kill them. Whats more is that there is a long strech of highway that is one lane in either direction which makes passing a task at times and this fuck would get in front of my just in time for a shit load of traffic and slow to 55 in a 70. I was going to Lubbock to see my girlfriend(who is now my wife) and when I got there we had a shitty first couple of hours because I was so pissed. I mean I was in such a shitty mood because of that guy.

Usually I go about 75-80mph, but when someone is doing that to me, my solution nowadays is to push it up to about 90 and just blow past them until they are but a speck in my rearview mirror. Then commence back to normal speed. I'd love to shoot one of those people.
