Taco Roll, the Thrashing Octopus, and "The Poisonous Passing Gas Boy"...

Ok, so I have a ton of time right now and since I have 3 very important things to write about I figured that I would just do it now since I probably won't have time for a couple days...don't worry people, I have a life outside of blogging:)

First: TACO ROLL
A friend and I walk by a restaurant called Taco Roll the other day and I was thinking "Sweet! This is amazing!". So we go in and the first thing we see is this...

It has nothing to do with the story but still...it says something about a place when they have time to dress their statues in a bikini. So we sit down and the menu is all Korean food! Except, they did serve spaghetti. Are you serious?! Being from the great Southwest, I take offense to a Korean restaurant claiming to serve Mexican food. I also take offense to the fact that Taco Bell considers itself Mexican food (but I still love it even though I feel like blowing up minutes later...) Really though. Name your restaurant "Korean Roll" or "Spaghetti Roll". I don't care. But don't juke the poor New Mexicans who would give their right arm for a taco. Which leads me to my next story...

THRASHING OCTOPUS
My worst fear came true last night as I went out to seafood with the teachers and principal from my school. Yup, there's a big bowl of boiling water with vegetables and they bring out these squid that are big enough that you would need two hands to hold them in these Caboodle type cases...alive. (For the men, a Caboodle is something that girls kept their makeup in, in the 80's) They take the squid out with tongs, stick it in the water, cut off it's head and legs, and serve it up.

Next, (if you have a weak stomach then take a short break) they cut a slit in the heads and this black stuff comes out and seeps into the water. Then they eat the heads. Whole. And last, when you have this black soup, they add noodles and you eat it...Alright...

Last story: "The Poisonous Passing Gas Boy"
Today I walked into my classroom and one of the teachers had posted projects the boys had done last school year with the native teacher who taught here. Hahaha...I wish I would have gotten to meet this girl she seems awesome.


The end.

  3. Wow, I really wonder what the prompt was to get the kids to create such spectacular work about the passing gas boy :)

    If you find out, let me know. I'm sure my freshman would have a blast with it!
