Some high ranking official from Yum recently spoke at the business school of my university. The bums, anti-globalization freaks, and eco-weenies were lined up 5 deep to protest.
~~*shrug* The Cheesy Gordita Crunch is pretty good...~~
good and good for you are too different things. Someone once told me that if you put enough cheese on a turd its mighty tasty.
Sorry for any spelling errors. I'm a product of a state college.
Listen up. I bet we can fix this.
Call your local or national talk show hosts.
Spam Matt Drudge.
Contact Taco Bell and complain:

We can solve this within a week.
I'm left-handed. I beat the tar out of myself daily for it.
Taco sauce is the opium of the masses.
Workers of the world unite; you have nothing to lose but your chalupas.
The fast food struggle necessarily leads to the dictatorship of the proletariat.
They meant "wacky" and out of the mainstream.
Avoid Taco Bell because it tastes like dog food, not because of this dopey contest.
< Here are some examples of current sauce wisdoms:
• Live life one sauce packet at a time
• Use your stomach, nacho mind
• Single Fire sauce seeking friendship, maybe more
• Polly want a taco?
• My other taco is a Chalupa >
Straight from the website. I dunno...sounds pretty political to me. (wink)
It's waaay to early to start drinking, my friend...
Yeah, really! I never shop at Taco Bell anyway b/c the food blows. Just means I'll have to stop in a little more often for a soda and handfuls of the very good hot sauce/salsa. It's just not the same out of the jars. :D
The list isn't what's important. What's "quirky" and relevant here is the inclusion of a phrase that for nearly everyone over the age of 15 immediately denotes political liberalism. The copy writers had to know this.
Maybe your "friend" should stop either scratching his butt or biting his fingernails. ;)
In this day and age of outsourcing, maybe the text for this was written by someone who is not a native English speaker and just didn't know the common usage of the phrase "left of center". The examples I've read on their website certainly don't seem to be overtly political. Besides, why would TB want to alienate 1/2 of the country? That would cost them more business than this promotion would generate.
I wonder if Taco Bell outsources their website to India.
Most Gas comes through them huge underground pipelines to a big tank farm. By that stage the stuff is so mixed up, how are you going to know where it comes from? Is it possible to buy any real American Gas anymore? I don't even think we use any of that gas from the Alaskan pipeline, that all goes to Japan doesn't it?
When all the gas is gone, I sure hope people can be civil about it without a panic attack. I better start stockpiling some gas along with my toilet paper stockpile. There just ain't no Sear Catalogs anymore. The end of the world's coming one of these days, I wonder which one?
A poster from Australia on the other thread immediately picked up the meaning as "off-kilter". I think it's a Britishism and I'm guessing that this whole campaign was done by either Commonwealth immigrants (India or Pakistan) or wholly overseas. An American would have caught this immediately.
How about this one? "Run for the border, cuz that's where job's going"
