The chain was named for the baroque masterpiece "Taco Bell Canon in E major"

@ shastamcnasty in the pasty: Your right, that's what I get for checking Wikipedia. I think about 85,000 dead just trying to repel the Germans in the Battle of France is a solid figure though.

Also, there were over 400,000 French troops killed in WWII about the same as the US in a country with a much smaller population.  The French were woefully outmaneuvered by the Germans but they weren't cowards. 

I've never really had a problem with Taco Bell.  Avoid the mystery meat and stick with the bean burritos and its one of better fast food options.  This Conan led trashing of the chain has become as hackneyed as riffing on airplane food.

So…you only need to say Beetlejuice 2 one and a half times?

Seeing as how it's Billie Joe Armstrong and all, I'm guessing what he really said was, "“I’m just trying to get to my fucking seat…..Govenah."

I think he's being graded, maybe unfairly, in relation to his previous work.  The fact that he is sitting fat, happy and immensely successful means that there is probably no way he'll ever quite recapture the edgy brilliance of Feelin' Kinda Patton.  I didn't see him live for the first time until a 2007 Comedians of…

I was right- shouldn't have asked.   btw  HancoCKthoRNe: pure gold.

I should probably know better than to ask but I can't for the life of me figure out what that means.  Dental planning?

Has there ever been a worse case of miscasting than Jada Pinkett Smith as a Nurse.  That woman has a gaze that freezes your soul.   And, you know, the thing about a Jada… she's got lifeless eyes. Black
eyes. Like a doll's eyes. When she comes at ya, doesn't seem to be
living… until she bites ya, and those black eyes…

The episode of Undeclared with Adam Sandler where they showed that it was perfectly acceptable for a 30 something famous person and his creepy buddy to troll the freshman dorm for starstruck 18 year olds.

Thought I was having some sort of inner-ear/balance problem here (north of Philly) until I saw the news.

When I saw Colbert all I could think was that was about time John Hiatt got his due.  Too bad they had to get an actor to play him.

Lady Antebellum is okay but they're no Fraulein Pre-Holocaust.

@kil: No not the Whole Foods- The Sainsbury's. You know the one, next to the Corn Exchange, behind the multi-story.

Isn't that true of almost every basic cable niche network? History, A&E, Discovery, etc. they've all based their business models on shitting out as much low cost non-related reality programing as possible. It reminds me of the French restaurant in Brazil. No matter how enticing any entree sounds, you're just…

Portugal, don't be discouraged,
The Man he ain't so hard to understand.
Portugal, if you try now,
I know that you can lend a helping hand.
And I know, things will be better
Oh yes they will for Portugal and the Man
Yes they will for Portugal and the Man.

I don't know but I been told…bonobo pussy is mighty cold.
