So, I was hankerin for the newest concoction from Taco Bell tonight – the Pacific Shrimp Taco.  It sounds deadly, right?  I mean, TACO BELL “doing” shrimp – insanity.  Still, I often like to explore the insane, so I sent a modest tweet that I was off to see how a Pacific shrimp might taste so near the Atlantic.

First, I was stuck behind a drunk driver who stopped at a green arrow, damned near ran into the back of him.  After rendering the appropriate greeting and whizzing by him at mach six, I was back on my way to test my stomach’s limits.

I pulled up to the Taco Bell at just after 10, and there was a line for the drive through of about 10 cars.  I thought, wow, how lazy is everyone tonight . . . then I was thrown off my mission when I saw the A Team was right in front of me – no, seriously LOOK AT THE PIC HERE

I was so thrown off my game and trying to be uber cool after snapping this pic that I thought, well, the hell with these lazy SOBs – I am going in, screw waiting in line.  So, much like the idiot who tugs on the door when he sees twelve people stationed outside, I pulled my car into the actual lot and even as I walked up to the door I knew.  Way to go, genuis, you know WHY there are all these cars waiting?  So, yea, the lobby JUST closed at 10.  Feeling like an A1 idiot, I decided to head to the McDonalds, now that I lost my place in line.

McDs is right next to the TB, so no worries – all I got there was a SHAMROCK SHAKE, really just to avoid pulling into the line behind the A Team again.  So, after that I opted back into the TB drove of cars, again.  I wait, and wait, and finally my time comes.  Proud, triumphant I tell the guy, I want to try one of those shrimp things, before I can finish the word “one” he comes back with “sorry, we won’t have any more until Sunday”  Deflated, I tell the guy, “You suck”  He seems less than thrilled, but I don’t care, at this point I want to drive my car through the building – A Team or no, besides everyone knows the A Team can’t hit shit with those fully automatic rifles.

I got a Mexican pizza, two chalupas and when I got home they added a free soft taco in there, no doubt that is the one he spit in after I told him he sucked.  Oh yea, almost forgot, when I pulled up to the window I boldly asked him, “So, how are those shrimp things anyway?”  He looked at me like I was an A1 idiot and said, “well, we are already sold out, so they must be pretty good, right?”
