Drudge Retort: Red Meat for Yellow Dogs

Glen W. Bell Jr., the innovator and entrepreneur who tapped an unsated hunger for Mexican fare as Americans discovered fast food, creating Taco Tia, El Taco and in 1962 his signature Taco Bell, has died. He was 86. Bell, who had Parkinson's disease since 1985, died Sunday at his home in Rancho Santa Fe, the company announced.

Happy Enchilada, Glen

Run for the border, or the can.

It's a poor imitation of Mexican food, but at 2 am after a lot of beer you could always get a bag of tacos for a couple bucks.

Better Taco Bell for a pooch than real Mexican.

Questions of cannibalism and all that.

RIP Mr.Bell, your life is an inspiration to all.

Taco Hell gives me the shits.

There's one of those creepy Taco Bell/KFC combo joints down the road from me; I know the food is terrible but I'll be damned if that place isn't tempting...

First time I was ever in a Taco Bell - shortly after they opened - some guy in a John Deere cap made a big fuss ordering 'them Tay-coes"

Hell, I wouldn't feed it to a dog.

The guys I used to drink beer with always wanted to go to Krystal late at night, so getting them to Taco Bell was an accomplishment.

(Krystal is even nastier than White Castle)

A famous story in the music biz entails Roger Miller (King Of The Road). He was drunk and chartered a Lear to fly to Nashville and bring back a bag of Krystal's. I'd imagine it was about $500 a burger.

($500 in those days)

Run for the bathroom.

RIP Mr Bell.

Be Well.

LOL "run for the bathroom". Or, run for the air freshener.

"RIP Mr Bell.

Be Well."

Um, Spuddie:

I think those two states are mutually exclusive...

Tru that but it still beats saying "Decompose Well".

Be Well.

He brought consistency to the gourmet taco business. We all, especially the cheeseheads, will miss him!

Ummmm Tacos...

I like Taco Bell and eat there a couple times a month. It's cheap, fresh and tastes good. Sure, there is real Mexican food which I greatly enjoy but I can't get it through the window of my car.

Almost six months to the day since Gidget Chipperton's death and this is a coincidence? Yeah, sure, right. And so were Pompeii, Krakatoa, and the 5,000-plus vehicle Cajon Pass pile-up.

I rarely eat fast-food but I have a soft-spot for Taco Bell.

During my senior-year in High School I ate it daily (no exaggeration - ($.49 tacos + free drink refills was too much to pass up).

These days I am lucky if I eat from Taco Bell once a month, but when I do it's a religious experience.

How any self-respecting person can eat Taco Bell is beyond me. As ZH said, I wouldn't feed it to my dog - literally. The moment any adult enters the drive-thru of a Taco Bell, they have given up on life.

Q. What does Taco Bell and Budweiser have in common?

#23 | Posted by JeffJ - ahhh, the youth...I remember when all six things on the menu were 19 cents apiece!

Anybody remember bellbeefers? enchiritos? Those were the days, my friends...we thought they'd never end...

Danni nails it. Life in America is grand!

You'd think an environmentalist liberal could turn their car off for five minutes, waddle their fat ass inside and order a few tacos. Must be too difficult for Danni.

RIP Glen Bell. Hope you join up with Gidget.

I didn't eat many of your tacos, but I liked your dog.

Back in the 80's the company I worked for had Taco Bell as a software client.

I went to Orange Co. to their headquarters to do an install.

What a bunch of humorless dicks.

I would go across the street to the Carl's Jr. and bring back a burger for lunch just to piss them off.

They told me if I had been an employee I would have been immediately fired.

I haven't eaten there in ages. I prefer taco cabana.

"Danni nails it. Life in America is grand!"

Ooh. Danni and Vermin in agreement.

The. End. Is. Near.

Especially if there is an open flame ... resulting in a bright flash of light and terrible ringing in my ears for hours afterwards. Maybe Taco Bell is responsible for more manmade gases entering the atmosphere than a typical cow...

If the choice is between Krystal and Taco Bell, I go for the former because the little square gut bombs don't wreck as much havoc to my digestive tract as do the tacos, burritos and chalupas.

You people are too funny, I love taco bell. As for burgers, In-N-Out beats them all, their fries stink but the burgers are great.

Ah....fond memories of flatulence.....

Only gas came out? You're one of the lucky ones.

I ate a 7 layer today..yummy

Cookout beats In-n-out.. good stuff.

Fat Burger makes the best burger. I like having sex and then eating a King Burger with cheese in bed.
