Free Taco!

As a promo...Taco Bell offered a free taco to everybody in the USA for a base stolen in the World series. When you show for your free taco? Thank Jacoby Ellsbury of Madras, Oregon...he's #46 for the Boston Red Sox...stole from 1st to 2nd..if I'm not mistaken, 2nd inning of tonight's game #2...

(edit) To collect? Just show at any Taco Bell in the USA between 2 and 5 PM, local time...October 30th...

Do you ever feel compelled to leave your dark cloud out of threads?

PWD: Ellsbury is a great story, what a set of wheels on that kid!

Isn't he though? Great story, I mean. From a small 5,000 population town to playing for the Red Sox in the biggest show in baseball. To steal a line from John Madden: "You know, when he played tag as a kid, I'll bet he was never "it"."

From the Taco Bell Website:

Quote:
Participating Taco Bell restaurant manager reserves the right to deny Free Taco to any person he/she reasonably believes has already received a Free Taco or has engaged in any other fraudulent activity.
You better bring seven years of tax returns and the receipts to back them up just in case.

Lesse, I get to stand in line for a half hour for a 50 cent taco? My time is worth more than that. Plus the tacos are so small and I'm such a pig, one taco would be just a tease. I'd need a half dozen or so

Do they have a low carb Taco...and why don't they if they don't have one...that might be a good discrimination law suit.

"Free Taco!"

I thought this was an addendum to the Grid Girls thread....

Have a nice day!

Sorry Tabdula, according to CDC, 66% of American adults are either overweight or obese. We would be suing ourselves.

I got an upset stomach from all the shilling of that free taco they did in those two games - those phoney dugout conversations ? Give me a bag . Great ad idea though.
Also read that those pics of people in the stands holding the , what is it Ford or Chevy sign were filmed days before.
Without going into the late start time here on the east coast the World Series has officialy sold out - hell even the pitcher for the Red Sox was "Schilling"

Love the Kid though - Paul , how much for the hat ?
