Free Taco Bell tomorrow!
Hey, taco fans! Don’t forget that tomorrow (Tuesday) from 2-5 p.m., every person in America is entitled to eat a free taco at Taco Bell! (Note I said “entitled,” not “obligated.”)
This is because Taco Bell pledged that if someone stole a base during the World Series, they’d give everybody a taco. And sure enough, someone named “Jacoby Ellsbury” on a team called the “Boston Red Sox” stole second base during Game 2.
There are a couple of downsides. One, it’s Taco Bell. Two, it’s only for the regular hard-shell taco, not the better-tasting soft taco. But hey, it’s free, and while you only get one, there’s nothing stopping you from going to every Taco Bell in town, or as many as necessary before you’re not hungry anymore.
I like the legal mumbo-jumbo they had to put at the bottom of the web page promoting the giveaway. It’s pretty elaborate for a taco giveaway. One of the main points is that if you suffer harm from the taco, you won’t hold Major League Baseball liable. Your beef (ha!) is with Taco Bell. Duly noted.

Did anyone see a definition of the word “person?” Can I bring my infant daughter with me to Taco Bell and get a free Taco for both myself and her?

Wow…what they have to put in fine print. Who would sue MLB for ….. found in a Taco Bell taco? I love the specific definition fo stolen base as well. It also specifically says that if you’ve already recieved your free taco it is fraudulent activity to try to get another one. fine print is frightening.

I changed this entry to call him by his correct name, Jacoby Ellsbury (not Ellsworth, as Eric had originally put). You better learn his correct name, Eric, because if your sister Laura has anything to do with it, he’s gonna be your brother-in-law soon.
Also, a guy at a site I read is now referring to him as Tacoby Bellsbury.

Note I say “entitled,” not “willing.” Taco Bell does horrible things to me.

If I get sick from that taco, I’m not suing MLB or Taco Bell………..I”m going after Jacoby Ellsbury. It would obviously be his fault, stealing is a crime!

Got my free Taco. There was only one person in front me — which means, at Taco Bell, that there was only a two hour wait.
It was yummy nonetheless. And I got to see how they harvest the corn and grind it to make those shells. I swear, Taco Bell is the slowest fast food in the universe.
