I don't think we should give trainers a pass for running horses 8 times in a year. Big deal. So you're more sportsman than the idiots who run their horses 3-5 times a year. Someone give Romans a medal...or better yet a Doritos Locos 10 pack.

Taco Bell is the holy grail for food when you're drunk or stoned.

Truth be told, I could sh!t into a tortilla and it would taste better than Taco Bell.

However, those prices on that menu make me feel like I'm Ogden Phipps and that grub has the right amount of greasy mystery beef, cheese, and fire sauce to make Taco Bell a wonderful franchise when you're not sober.

Chipolte had to come around and ruin a good thing with their high prices and wildly superior grub.

There's a really good authentic Mexican food restaurant that I go to with my girlfriend at least once a week. They have these things called 'Tejana Margaritas' that are souped up with extra Tequila. Great stuff. Always leave that place stumbling around and coolly buzzed for a good hour or more.

Speaking of Taco Bell, does anyone from the Cincinnati area remember a quick-service Mexican chain in the 80's called Zantigo's? Was excellent.

Are there other kinds of midgets?

I know I'd be a drunk(more of a drunk?) if I was a midget.

Zantigo's was excellent. Even though Taco Bell bought them out and closed them down in the early nineties, the franchise was revitalized and there are a handful of Zantigo's currently open in the twin cities. Not sure about the rest of the country. Nearly identical menu from the past, too.

I'm going to regret this, but, what makes this place in Erie authentic? They serve salsa not made in New York City?

If you're ever in Chicago, this is by far our favorite 1,2 punch in the city.

Cheap good Mexican food at Arturo's then walk across the street to Margie's for dessert, very old school and awesome sundae shop.

By current standards it's tough to take issue with Shackleford. However, this is a horse he has always said thrives on training and racing. I thought nearly six weeks would have been more than enough to have him run in the Suburban. I don't really think having 8 races in a year should be considered terribly taxing for such a horse.
