“Ceterum censeo Taco Bell esse delendam.”

Alas, I fall on the deep left end of the Taco Bell curve.

“Ceterum censeo Taco Bell esse delendam.”

This is a play on Cato the Elder's famous tag line with which he ended all of his speeches, regardless of subject, before the Roman Senate.

Ceterum censeo Carthaginem esse delendam
("Furthermore, I consider Carthage to need to be destroyed")

This is most commonly abbreviated as Carthago delenda est.

In my case it would be, "Furthermore, I think Taco Bell needs to be destroyed."
