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.

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

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.

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.

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.

Are there other kinds of midgets?

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

Do people think before making posts like this?

The worse answer would be yes.

I don't think Andy has been to any of the chan sites. Otherwise that post wouldn't exist.

This place is MENSA level compared to most forums.

A Paytner Vs. Bodeimester match race sounds good. At least it will gaurantee a win for Zayat.
