I've never understood the aversion to "Frisco". That's what the '49ers called it.
I just think it's rather odd that a nation that prides itself on its virility should feel compelled to strap on forty pounds of protective gear just in order to play rugby.

There's a place called Tortillas in Atlanta that has spoiled me for all other burritos. Though I'll admit to a lingering fondness for the little bean and cheese frozen ones that you get at the supermarket for like a quarter.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Those are only good if you smother them in sour cream.
Mmm... nummy....

Yeah, but shoes demand sharper utensils.

When Cass took me to Tiajuana I discovered what tortillas actually are.
Now I weep softly when I see a menu that proudly declares No Lard!

NOOOOOO!
Um, not that a place that was to all appearances run by a changing mishmash of skate punks and liberal art undegrad dropout vegans was destined to last forever.

It lasted 19 years. The owner retired, citing increased burrito competition. I understand that Tortillas' burritos were based on the San Francisco model.
