Tacos and maggies

“My co-worker/friend Kay and I went to have our weekly tacos and maggies last night.

One guy asked me, "Where is your foreign friend?"

And neighbor Dave said, "How's George?"

Tacos and maggies without gojo just ain't the same......









And maybe that's a GOOD THING!!! LOL!”

“I thought this was going to be report about infested Taco Bell food...”

“What the heck are maggies?”

“Nevermind, figured it out.”

“Good job, GGGGs. So what do YOU call them?”

“It's maggots.”

“'Chick' drink.”

“"chick drink?!!?" LMAO!!!”

“Well, my wife drinks them.

Need I say more?”

“Margueritas, Si?”

“I'm confident enough in my sexuality to admit to enjoying the odd maggie now and again.”

“One of the Mexican places here has 99 cent 'maggies' night.
I will drink them then. ;)”

“Anyone like a nice cold Negra Modelo with dinner? Good beer for being Mexican.”

“Yeah, Negra Modelo is great. I like to have one with carne asada.”

“No one, in the history of Lower Alabama, will ever refer to such a fine concoction as a "maggie".

Jimmy Buffet is going to be pissed when he hears about this.”

“Margaritaville

ALBUM · Changes in Latitudes Changes I (1977)


LYRICS By: jimmy buffett
1977
Nibblin’ on sponge cake
Watchin’ the sun bake
All of those tourists covered with oil
Strummin’ my six-string
On my front porch swing
Smell those shrimp they’re beginnin’ to boil

Chorus:
Wastin’ away again in margaritaville
Searching for my lost shaker of salt
Some people claim that there’s a woman to blame
But I know it’s nobody’s fault

I don’t know the reason
I stayed here all season
Nothin’ to show but this brand new tattoo
But it’s a real beauty
A mexican cutie
How it got here I haven’t a clue

Chorus:
Wastin’ away again in margaritaville
Searchin’ for my lost shaker of salt
Some people claim that there’s a woman to blame
Now I think
Hell, it could be my fault

I blew out my flip-flop
Stepped on a pop-top
Cut my heel had to cruise on back home
But there’s booze in the blender
And soon it will render
That frozen concoction that helps me hang on

Wastin’ away again in margaritaville
Searching for my lost shaker of salt
Some people claim that there’s a woman to blame
But I know it’s my own damn fault
Yes and some people claim that there’s a woman to blame
And I know it’s my own damn fault”

“Changes In Latitudes Changes In Attitudes - One of the all time greatest albums ever made!”

“No doubt, GGGGS.

I will be glad when you get that damn costume off. I always have to count the G's.”

“Yea 'pumpkin', me too.”

“i am addicted to the tacos at Chipotle.”

“Well, admitting you have a problem is the first step to curing your addiction, draculyra...”

“For some strange reason, I'm craving Mexican food for lunch....
I think I'll be going out for lunch today.”

“So what do you call them, Mr. LAB (Lower Alabama Boy)?

I think gojo called them "margies"... mar-ghees.”

“true! i'm soooo hungry right now, i could eat like 10 of them.

margaritas, i'm not so fond of. although, i'd like to try and make them myself sometime, instead of using that syrupy, toxic, neon-green "margarita mix."”

“Ingredients:
1.5 oz tequila
dash of triple sec
4 oz margarita mix (doesn't matter what kind)
salt
lemon slice

Directions:
Dispose of triple sec and margarita mix. Lick salt, slam the tequila, suck on lemon. Yum.”

“Well, lizs, I feel compelled to point out that Mr. Buffet is from LA.

His sister had a nice little joint down near Point Clear called Lulu's Bar and Grill that was a nice place to spend a lazy Saturday afternoon.

But, back to the point,,,,,,


the song is not about "maggieville" now is it?




A margarita is a margarita......”

“In bp, recipe.... the cap from the triple sec bottle makes a nice "dash" full.

I have found the Jose Cuervo mix to be more to my liking than the other brands.”

“Well there is the song Maggie Mae!”

“LMAO @ bitpusher!!”

“Yum!
Just got back from a Mexican meal for lunch.
Man am I full.”

“My father-in-law calls it Mexican Kool-Aid.”

“A margarita is NOT a margarita...

It needs to be on the rocks with salt and it needs to be Patron Tequila.”

“that's funny, Phaed!

if i made one, it would be tequila, triple sec, lime juice, and simple syrup, on the rocks. yeah baby! but i'd rather have a gin & tonic. i'm an old lady.”

“Hey lyra, for real?
A gin and tonic is my all time fav.”

“fo' real, yo! :-)”

“Gin and Tonic is a classic drink.

Of course, I prefer it if you hold the tonic.”

“reptiles, while I see your logic there, and tend to agree, a margarita is definately not a maggie,,,,,”

“i thought jimmie buffay was from alabama......

y'all are making me hungry for veggie tamales from colorado......”

“$2 at Taco Bell

Copyright 1993 Captain Sarcastic (kkoller@nox.cs.du.edu)

On my way home from the second job I've taken for the extra holiday cash I need, I stopped at Taco Bell for a quick bite to eat. In my billfold is a $50 bill and a $2 bill. That is all of the cash I have on my person. I figure that with a $2 bill, I can get something to eat and not have to worry about people getting pissed at me.

Me: "Hi, I'd like one seven layer burrito please, to go."
Clerk: "Is that it?"
Me: "Yep."
Clerk: "That'll be $1.04, eat here?"
Me: "No, it's to go." [I hate effort duplication.]

At this point I open my billfold and hand him the $2 bill. He looks at it kind of funny and says,

Clerk: "Uh, hang on a sec, I'll be right back."

He goes to talk to his manager, who is still within earshot. The following conversation occurs between the two of them.

Clerk: "Hey, you ever see a $2 bill?"
Manager: "No. A what?"
Clerk: "A $2 bill. This guy just gave it to me."
Manager: "Ask for something else, there's no such thing as a $2 bill."
Clerk: "Yeah, thought so."

He comes back to me and says,

Clerk: "We don't take these. Do you have anything else?"
Me: "Just this fifty. You don't take $2 bills? Why?"
Clerk: "I don't know."
Me: "See here where it says legal tender?"
Clerk: "Yeah."
Me: "So, shouldn't you take it?"
Clerk: "Well, hang on a sec."

He goes back to his manager who is watching me like I'm going to shoplift, and

Clerk: "He says I have to take it."
Manager: "Doesn't he have anything else?"
Clerk: "Yeah, a fifty. I'll get it and you can open the safe and get change."
Manager: "I'm not opening the safe with him in here."
Clerk: "What should I do?"
Manager: "Tell him to come back later when he has real money."
Clerk: "I can't tell him that, you tell him."
Manager: "Just tell him."
Clerk: "No way, this is weird, I'm going in back."

The manager approaches me and says,

Manager: "Sorry, we don't take big bills this time of night."
[It was 8:00pm and this particular Taco Bell is in a well-lighted indoor mall with a hundred other stores.]
Me: "Well, here's a two."
Manager: "We don't take those either."
Me: "Why the hell not?"
Manager: "I think you know why."
Me: "No really, tell me, why?"
Manager: "Please leave before I call mall security."
Me: "Excuse me?"
Manager: "Please leave before I call mall security."
Me: "What the hell for?"
Manager: "Please, sir."
Me: "Uh, go ahead, call them."
Manager: "Would you please just leave?"
Me: "No."
Manager: "Fine, have it your way then."
Me: "No, that's Burger King, isn't it?"

At this point he backs away from me and calls mall security on the phone around the corner. I have two people staring at me from the dining area, and I begin laughing out loud, just for effect.

A few minutes later, this 45-year-oldish guy comes in and says at the other end of counter, in a whisper:

Security Guard: "Yeah, Mike, what's up?"
Manager: "This guy is trying to give me some [pause] funny money."
Guard: "Really? What?"
Manager: "Get this, a two dollar bill."
Guard: "Why would a guy fake a $2 bill?" [incredulous]
Manager: "I don't know? He's kinda weird. Says the only other thing he has is a fifty."
Guard: "So, the fifty's fake?"
Manager: "No, the $2 is."
Guard: "Why would he fake a $2 bill?"
Manager: "I don't know. Can you talk to him, and get him out of here?"
Guard: "Yeah..."

Security guard walks over to me and says

Guard: "Mike here tells me you have some fake bills you're trying to use."
Me: "Uh, no."
Guard: "Lemme see 'em."
Me: "Why?"
Guard: "Do you want me to get the cops in here?"

At this point I was ready to say, "sure, please," but I wanted to eat, so I said,

Me: "I'm just trying to buy a burrito and pay for it with this $2 bill."

I put the bill up near his face, and he flinches like I was taking a swing at him. He takes the bill, turns it over a few times in his hands, and says

Guard: "Mike, what's wrong with this bill?"
Manager: "It's fake."
Guard: "It doesn't look fake to me."
Manager: "But it's a two-dollar bill."
Guard: "Yeah?"
Manager: "Well, there's no such thing, is there?"

The security guard and I both looked at him like he was an idiot, and it dawned on the guy that he had no clue.

My burrito was free and he threw in a small drink and those cinnamon things, too. Makes me want to get a whole stack of $2 bills just to see what happens when I try to buy stuff. If I got the right group of people, I could probably end up in jail. At least you get free food...”

“Too funny.

I've come across $2 bills only a few times, and it always freaks clerks when I hand them over. It's the same with the dollar coins.

Glad you got some free eats out of it.”

“Thats freakin hilarious! THere was a story on here a while back about Best Buy and some guy with a 2$ bill too. He actually got arrested for a little while before they figured out the clerk and the manager was an idiot.”

“Very funny Gem. Roam, in the story you are talking about even the stupid cops thought they were counterfeit. But that guy was paying a $170 (I think) charge with $2 bills.”
