I concur. Everytime I find a guilty pleasure food I like, they take it away. I'd split someone's skull for that shit.

You should make your own tacos instead of eating that stuff. I have some good recipes from Cooks Illustrated that I use all the time. Send me a PM if you want them.

I was frustrated that both of my near by Taco Bells carry this new Dorito Taco. You mean to tell me that the Beefy Crunch Burrito was discontinued for this shit? I mean, it's alright, but I want my damn burrito.
Just tried it. Very 'meh'.

From what the manager told me, this Dorito taco is gonna be a permanent item on the new menu.The Beefy Crunch Burrito was superb, that should've never left - I don't understand why Taco Bell always does this with their best items.

I DO highly recommend adding the Dorito taco shell to a Gordita crunch though (I personally like the chicken ones), that was outstanding.

Taco Bell is perhaps the worst fast food in existence. I don't know how you eat that crap. :?

Agreed. TB's burritos are good though.

Don't be disheartened. In the words of Joe Dirt: “What are you gonna do, give up? Not an option; life's a garden. You gotta dig it.”

Watcha mean?
Every night at 1 AM (central time), the site suddenly starts taking forever to load stuff, especially when posting. I don't know when it ends.

I've had that same printer. The trick: fill the ink cartridge with water.

Hehe, I'll have to try that.

The thing is, this isn't the first time it's happened to me. I hate, HATE buying ink carts. Take this MP190 for example, the two ink carts are like $15 each. The damn printer was only about $30 or $40 new, and it came WITH ink carts. Explain that to me! It's like the ink they use for inkjet printers is super rare, or hard to manufacture. I know I can buy off brand and remanufactured carts for cheap, but I haven't had a lot of luck with those. Anyway, I use refill kits, but you can't reuse a cart forever. Eventually the printer just locks out that cart. That's the point that I'm at right now with the carts that are in there now. So I think if I fill them with water, it wont matter, the printer just doesn't wanna use those carts anymore. I'm sure Canon (as well as other manufactures) do this on purpose so you can't refill a cart forever, they want you to keep buying ink!

The last time my printer didn't let me use the scanner, I did a little Google and found out some button combination that would reset the printer error codes, at least until you go to print again, but it would let you use the scanner in the meantime. I tried to find it again and couldn't.

But yeah, I'm so sick of inkjet printers. I really wanna get laser printer, with networking abilities so all the computers in my house can use it. Then I'll just replace this MP190 with a scanner and be done with ink carts. I fucking hate ink carts.


But guys, where's Hobie-wan?
