        Of course there is. We live in a paranoid world where you have cheap access to mass-media outlets -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 3, 11:13 1
        
        Here's one such video. They're claiming the gov had to make up a name for the storm it created. -- (link) - loosilu Jul 3, 11:22 [youtube]
    - It's Spanish for "right". That should clear that right up. -- nm - Mop Jul 3, 11:10 4
      - Watch out for those izquierdos! -- nm - Strongbad Jul 3, 11:14

        What's the word for when a word has more than one definition? It's one of those. -- nm - con_carne Jul 3, 11:18

        I'm not either, but I was pleased when I tried them. It's still TB, though. Agreed on the soft taco preference. -- nm - con_carne Jul 3, 11:11 2
        
        I could eat taco bell every day. nm -- nm - groiny Jul 3, 11:12 1
        
        It's not life-changing, but I gotta hand it to TB on this one. Simple idea, pretty decent execution. -- nm - con_carne Jul 3, 11:22

        why choose - groiny Jul 3, 11:10
- Cloudy with a chance of Doritos Locos Tacos? -- nm - Spawn Jul 3, 11:01
