I eat chicken mole or nothing at all. These tacos you speak of do not sound like chicken mole to me. To hell with your tacos. Were I there when you were presented with one of these tacos, I would seize your dinner, or lunch, if that is when you prefer to eat these tacos, and drive off, dumping your taco on the side of the road many miles from where you ordered it. Because that's just the sort of thing people like me do. So don't **** with my demographic, if you like your tacos.

Chuy's is basically a margarita bar with a not too bad Tex-Mex kitchen attatched. They have several locations and a high staff turnover and mostly cater to college students and professionals.
El Azteca is a family owned and operated joint on the Mexican side of town in a refurnished house. The menu is smaller but considerably more authentic and the drinks are pretty good, too.
Certainly, both have their uses.

If ewallace and I are missing in action, I get to be Chuck Norris. He'll be the viet namese chick sidekick sort of character who makes me noodles.
BTW, aren't all these best threads from the end of the year?
Best Thread Cloning: Ironfist, for his series "No, THIS punching thread, stupid!"
And, to continue the fine tradition, most reasonable posting by a practitioner of wookie kung fu: Judge's Pen
Most references to going to sleep: The poster formerly known as SD(meatshake)
And finally, the poster most likely to find out whether or not I can train a live badger to kill at the sound of the ENTER key being held too long...
Oh Jesus, someone call animal control.
No, really, I'm serious...
sweet Jesus...
That's right, Vash is the winner! Your prize is on the way. Just remember, the badger is a lot like a ferret with hate. And it's kind of cute, with it's got qi sweater and all.
Now back to the jungles of viet nam, where I'm freeing even more POW's from their inept guards.

Fair is fair. You are correct.
Oh, sorry, forgot forum ettiquette.
Kung Lek has taken the correct, charged it fourteen hundred for two years of renovation at his beach house, awarded it a black belt, and sent it to the south side with nothing but a pair of pajamas and the firm conviction that it would karate chop crack right out of the projects.
For the record, now that I have done it once, the correct needs to die.

The serpent took the correct and bought it some nice spicey cheese. he meant to email the correct some links when he got home, but he was tied up with making dinner and all, so later the correct called and was a little ****ed, but it was cool. They ended up meeting at the pub and the correct bought Serpent a beer, cause last time Serpent bought(really, serpent always buys, that's how the correct is). Anyway, they talked a bit, and Serpent brought up rugby, but the correct is one of those guys who won't tell you he's not into sports, he'll just sort of nod, and as the conversation gets deeper and deeper, he'll get this glazed look in his eye, and so Serpent was talking about this player or that, and the correct was just saying sh!t like "Oh, yeah, he's..." and trail off, but he'd never just admit he didn't know anything about sports, so Serpent just changed the topic.

I would, but the correct is a strait playa. The geezer owes me 5 bob already! :mad:
This reminds me of a song by the great Soviet dissident bard Vladimir Visotsky:
A Song About Truth (roughly based on a translation by Alec Vagapov)
http://www.kulichki.com/vv/audio/ram/nezhnaya-pravda-v-krasivyx.ram
Delicate Truth, Walked about in beautiful clothes,
Smartening herself up for cripples and freaks.
Rough Lie Lured this Truth into visiting her at her dwelling
"Why don't you stay," she said "at my place for the night."
Gullible Truth fell asleep calmly,
She broke into frivolous smiles and drooled in her dream.
Shifty Lie pulled all the blanket onto herself,
Driving her sting through the Truth... she was pleased, it would seem.
Then she got up, and she pulled a bulldog-like face rudely,
"She 's only a woman, so why should she bother at all?
There is no diff'rence between Truth and Lie, after all,
(Only , ofcourse, if you strip them both naked)..."
She swiftly untwisted the golden bands from her hair,
Then grabbed her shoes and clothing, taking measures by sight,
took all the money, the watch - even her documents,
Spat, crudely cursed, and took flight.
Only at daybreak the Truth had discovered the loss,
And stood in surprise, taking a look in the mirror,
someone had already picked up some soot, and smothered clean Truth
but on the whole, she thought, she looked all right.
Truth laughed when they threw stones at her:
"These are all lies and Lie has all my clothes!"
Two of the cripples filed the report.
Calling her stupid names.
They called her "wicked" and things worse than "wicked",
Smearing her with mud and setting the dog on her...
shouting: "She's got to be exiled, from a vicinity of 100 kilometres
evicted, for at least twenty four hours"
The report was concluded with a most hurtful paragraph.
By the way they framed Truth, for other people's crimes...
shouting: "The wretch calls herself Truth,
Sleeps around and swaps all her clothes for booze!"
Naked Truth wept and swore oaths to God as she sobbed,
For a long time wandered, going through poverty, illness, what not.
Dirty Lie stole a thoroughbred horse,
and she set off at a gallop before she got caught.
There is a weirdo that still fights Truth with persistence,
Though in his speeches there is little truth.
"Clean Truth will triumph one day!
But only if she plays the same tricks that blatant Lie always plays…"
Sitting at table with friends, pouring out 170 grams
For each man to drink to his brothers,
"They can undress you, that's the clean truth fellas!...
Look! your trousers - worn by insidious Lie.
Look at your watch on the wrist of insidious Lie.
Look at your horse driven by insidious Lie.

Come on Gene....you need to have a little bit more self esteem. You know you're hot...anyone that knows you knows you're hot. Especially with short hair and a goat! The long hair and goat gave you the total "manchu" look! It was cool, but the shaved head is mucho better!! ;)

wc - You're waaaay too kind. But I'll milk any such 'hot' compliments I can get from any members of the opposite sex nowadays. Hell, I'll even milk compliments from the same sex. After all, we're in the era of queer eye (no bjj references here, please). I haven't had a goatee or a fu manchu moustache since '98. In fact, that was the only time I sported facial hair. It's been a long time, Wen. That was my Crouching Tiger look. It was short lived because I really didn't like facial hair. Despite it making me look more the role, it was hard to eat noodles.
np - If you mean my do in the Pub. corner of our Jan Feb 2004 issue (http://ezine.kungfumagazine.com/magazine/article.php?article=436), that shot was taken many months ago. I shaved in April when I went back to Shaolin, and have just let it grow out ever since. Now it's grown into a tangled mop that is just past collar length. Almost long enough for a pony tail again, although maybe this time I'll dread it.

RTB, the correct is pulling your wang for a laugh. It ain't in jail. It just came by to try to date my sister again and was bragging about the $5k it was gonna score later today. It does have an interesting new tattoo though - it's a pic of KC Elbows in his diamonte boob tube. Really quite tastefully done. That must have been where he disappeared off to.
Of course, I had to take it outside and kick it's arse again.

Gene, let me discourage you strongly from going for the sino-rasta look. The honky-rasta look is bad enough.

nah, dreads are the only way to go if your an associate publisher. It adds personality, zing, or whatever you want to call it. Do it.

"or whatever you want to call it"
I call it "lice.":(
No one who's hair doesn't dread naturally should wear dreads. And most of those who do grow natural dreads shouldn't grow dreads. It's perhaps the toughest hairstyle to pull off, save the bald look.

Lice is a common misconception of dreads, as a past owner of dreads, I know that you can wash your hair. If you take care of your hair like a normal person than there should be no worries, but if your some sort of dirty hippie than there is a possiblity of infestation.

I know that dreads aren't neccesarily dirty. It's just that even clean dreads look dirty (usually.)
Besides, do you really want to associate yourself with Counting Crows?

As for dirty dreads, as many of you know, I do a lot of volunteer work for the Haight Ashbury Free Medical Clinic (www.rockmed.org) so I know a lot about this. In fact, I was working the New Years Dead show a few weeks ago, and I had a discussion with a friend who's a pain management nurse about clean vs. dirty hippies. You know, Bob Marley even sang about washing his dreads, why the hell don't dirty dreads listen?! I've also studied with the the saddhus in Rishikesh, and they keep their dreads clean, bathing in the Ganga every morning (I did that myself - Rishikesh is at the foot of the Himilaya and the water is freezing.) Two years ago, I had the honor of cutting the dreads off of one of my Shaolin shidi. They were about 3-4 feet long and clean. We did it in a ritual at Eel river. I've also known a lot of Japanese dreads - there was a neo-hippie movement in Japan about a decade ago. Dreads must have shocked the hell out of that society. Anyway, my point is that dreads can stay clean, but it's a discipline in itself. I've toyed with the idea seriously, especially lately because it would be so shocking in my position now and given my age. Imagine if I walked into Shaolin Temple with dreads! But in all honesty, I probably don't have the balls to do it at this time, so you can all feel safe. To quote Toots, "My dreads are on the inside."

Toots is great. I saw him at an outdoor festival once opening up for Bunny Marley and Burning Spear. Man, I wish I had 54-46 (http://images.amazon.com/images/P/B0000633J5.01.LZZZZZZZ.jpg) to listen to right now. Oh well, Passions of a Man (http://images.amazon.com/images/P/B000003446.01.LZZZZZZZ.gif) is doing me okay...

But just because they're rare, it doesn't mean they're non-existent. It makes them so much more a treasure when you find them.

If any of you have met Gene, you'd know what I'm talking about. He's hot, funny as hell, and got a great personality! We disagree on a few things, granted, but he's still got a fab head on his shoulders!! I don't know how many of you have gotten the chance to meet him, but if you're ever in Fremont...drop by MAM & KFM (http://store.yahoo.com/martialartsmart/shippinginfo.html) and pop in....I'm sure if you offered to take him out for a beer, you'd be surprised at how much of a CLEAN hippy he really is!!

But how do you wash the greasiness out of the dreads without untangling them.

I am the correct. I have snuck into KC Elbow's home and found his computer logged in to this forum. I would just like to say that all the things you've heard about me are not true. Please, if you must start a rumor, please do so with Fiona Apple's name, she could use the PR.
Thank you.

How about half-black folk?? I like dreds on guys. On girls they look dirty and nasty, but on guys they look pretty tight.....
Didn't Vanilla Ice have dreads at one point??

actually, she's using that as an add-in, not as a way to prove the tightness of boy-dreads.

You put bee's wax in them and they are internaly "greasy" but nice to touch on the out side. When they fully lock they aren't greasy at all. You can wash out the bee's wax and enjoy the end product...I've been giving my friends dreads for years, and haven't had one complaint.

"his music was pretty kewl in it's time. "
Maybe if you were 12. I was 21 and listening to REAL RAP. Vanilla Ice was instantly the wackest thing I'd ever seen, and remains so to this day.
What about Milli Vanilli?
They were so cool, they made a guest appearance on the Super Mario Bros. cartoon.
"Blame it on the rain? Naw, blame it on the Koopa!"
they looked pretty ghey on him
saying someone or something is 'ghey' is bad.
M'kay?
red5angel, told us so.
the only thing cool about VI was he looped Queen. The greatest Rock band of all time.
...
sez me!
at this point I feel I must mention....
Terence Trent D'arby
just to make the trilogy complete.

I actually considered them all part of a great big ball of wackness I called "Milli Vanilla Ice."
Then I went back to listening to my BDP and PE records.

BDP was good, but PE was tats. i wore through more cassettes of fear of a black planet than i can count on one hand*.

Well, you must come by for a visit and I'll take you on a tour of our fine facility here. That goes for anyone on the forum (especially if you're buying beer). Let us know when you're in town, and we'd be happy to show off our company. Be sure to contact us to arrange a time first, since our schedule can be very demanding, but it's always great to meet forum members, face-to-face. Especially if you're buying.

Don't disturb the beast, the temperamental goat the snail.
While he's feeding on the rose stay, frozen,
compromise what I will I am
Bend around the wind silently blown about again
I'm treading so soft and lightly compromising my will
I am
I am I will
So no longer Will I Lay down
Play dead pay your due.
In the headlights locked down and terrified
You're a deer in the headlights shut down and horrified
When push comes to pull, comes to shove, comes to step around
This self-destructive dance that never would have ended til I rose
I roared aloud here I will I am
I am, I will, So no longer will I lay down
Play dead
Lay this knee down,
Gun shy martyr pitiful I rose I roared
I will I will
pheonix-eye
I'm scottish - nuff said.
The question should have been
Q: " What do you do when you're NOT drinking?".
