CLOVIS, N.M. - A call about a possible weapon at a middle school prompted police to put armed officers on rooftops, close nearby streets and lock down the school. All over a giant burrito. Someone called authorities Thursday after seeing a boy carrying something long and wrapped into Marshall Junior High. The drama ended two hours later when the suspicious item was identified as a 30-inch burrito filled with steak, guacamole, lettuce, salsa and jalapeños

Guacamole is a mixture of avocado flesh and garlic. Any chef should know that.

"Who eats guacamole? More importantly, where does guacamole come from? Is it manmade?"

Guacamole is made from avocados and other stuff.

Who eats guacamole? A whole lot of people but not me.

[Marie Antoinette]

LOL! I hope they didn't have to destroy his lunch to find out. That is one *serious* burrito!

"but where does baby oil come from"

Not NARAL, I would hope.

Good thing there weren't any habaneros in it!!

:~)

[MeanWestTexan]

Same place as buffalo wings and jumbo shrimp.

'Guacamole is a mixture of avocado flesh and garlic. Any chef should know that."

I don't think that there was a chef involved with the majority of "guacamole" inflicted upon most Mexican food that I've encountered. I have had decent guacamole that wasn't pureéd into slightly viscous green sludge and found it edible, pleasant actually. But, the avocado, garlic, cilantro, onion, etcetera was diced.

Dang, was he going to share that burrito with someone?

[ChefKeith]

Ignore the thread police. What they never tell you is they spend 45 minutes running different search combos before they complain. And then some others just need to get a life.

The burrito would've weakened the habanero some. I'd be more worried if it were just a habanero :-)

"Guacamole is made from avocados and other stuff."

Wow. I never knew that. Well if i feel like being ethnic, I'll just stick to my nachos and cheese. That stuff is gross.

[ChildOfThe60s]

Check the grassy noll...that's where his accomplice, taco boy, was hiding.

They'll never tell us the real truth here.......

[ChefKeith]

Thats 'cause you're goin' to them yankee tracks;)

[NautiNurse]

There was a whole lotta guacamole around here during hurricane season last year.

Burritos are a component to make methane, a non lethal WMD.
