A Taco Bell Dilemma
R. Alex Whitlock
One of the neat things that Taco Bell has come up with is a 1/2 lb. bean burrito. It's not nearly as big as it sounds, but it's a good burrito for a good price.

The problem is that it's called the Bean Burrito Especial. This is a problem because, in the confines of a Taco Bell, I feel like a poseur using anything remotely resembling a Spanish pronounciation. It's only recently that I gave in to "graunday" instead of "grandee" (only at Taco Bell, mind you, I know how to pronounce it). So even if I can stomach pronouncing "grande" correctly, especial is just too much. I'm not ready.

So do I mispronounce it and feel like an idiot, pronounce it correctly and sound like a poseur, or just keep calling it the "half pound burrito"?

I think I'm going with the latter.

Comment spam is an ongoing problems that we're trying to address. Previously we required people to create accounts and log in. I am thankful to say that is no longer the case. We're giving Captcha another try and are playing around with a text-based Q&A variant of Captcha. So bear with us as we try to figure out how to best get a handle ont he problem. Please note that any comment on a post more than 30 days old will go into the moderation queue, where I will get to it when I can which could be once a week.
