Do not attack the Cantinflas!

"I smell a very colorful Arizona Freep opportunity here..."

I'll bring the totillas. I have a couple of packages in the 'fridge getting a little old on me!

I think throwing corn tortillas is pretty colorful. It's better than throwing your cap and losing it. And the cardboard or whatever is in the cap can put someone's eye out. I don't think a tortilla has ever been blamed for putting an eye out or causing an injury.

I wish the PETA idiots WOULD something like that in Detroit. The octopi (octopusses?) wouldn't be the only things being scraped off the ice.

Tip of the day: don't even think about messing with Red Wing fans in their own building.

The tough part about the octopus toss is smuggling them into Joe Louis. Tortillas are easy, but to smuggle an octopus, that takes guts.

Well this is a school so it will have to be a public strip search. Tortilla tossing a bigger worry than someone wearing thong panties because it's done out in the open. They could put that vice principal from Rancho Bernardo near San Diego in charge of the process.

I can see it now, "Who is wearing thong tortillas?"

Instead of throwing tortillas, they should throw something inedible, like rice cakes. Afterwards, any rice cakes that didn't get crushed by being stepped on could be rounded up and recycled to be used as drink coasters for frat party keggers (I know, frat boys don't use coasters). The ones that do get crushed could be recycled by the local Mailboxes Etc., to be used for packing material.

Tortillas are much too versatile a food to be wasted in such a manner.

LOL!! What a funny, funny story! :^)
