Oh, and I agree about the Nebraska Butthuskers that clog up our roads.

The last time I ate there was ate the one in your neck-o-the woods, on my way to Estes Park. I had to pull over and deposit a explosive, volcanic payload in the woods about 5 miles past Lyons.

There is a 24 hour hole in the wall here in the springs that serves the best breakfast burrito in the entire state.

I can't tell you how many times I've winched these panicked folks out of ditches over the years.

Big ol' SUV's and Trucks, and they no clue how to drive them period. Or even park them... News-flash guy! If you turn left (into my lane) before you turn right, you've failed!

I had it easy. I learned to drive using my mom's 12 pass econoline.

Del Taco! Anyone ever see the South Park epidose where Jennifer Lopez ends up working at one.

So. Pretty dry out here isn't it? We could sure use some moisture. There is some joke about 75% of conversations between people in Denver starting out or ending that way.

Better than Santiagos?

Bet it ain't drive-thru, though. Unfortunately, that's a requirement, esp. at 1am...

Oh and Jeff.... "Thanks for playing TOO MUCH INFORMATION!!! We've got some nice fartin-PARTING gifts for you."

It is.

They have the perfect blend of potatoes, eggs, ham, and bacon. A lot of places to me have to much of one or the other. Usually the potatoes, so it turns out real dry. The hot sauce that they use is actually spicy, but not ear cleaning. Oh, and it's only $3 for this good size burrito that does not overwhelm (Chipotle?), and fills you up. The staff is never cranky or bitchy (we have gone in to sit down and talk for 30-40+ minutes), and always quick. Their English is good enough take orders, but that about it. Good sign of a true mexican fast food.

See, I gotta go veggie - my colon grabbed me by the throat about 14 years ago and said "DON'T YOU EVER DO THIS TO ME AGAIN." But taters, eggs, cheese, and green chile sauce (DT's is better than fair, actually) wrapped up in a one-handed meal does the trick more often than not.

You can get it without bacon and ham. (the horror, the horror...)

The Springs is lousy with 24-hour Mexican places with drive throughs.

It gets even more subjectiver (that's right, subjectiver), because what one would consider a "good" one depends on what part of the city you live in. I'm partial to Taco Express and I want to say Albertacos, but I haven't been there since I moved out of the city.

Then there are places (like the $1.98 Chinese places) that when your friends recommend them, you question their sanity while admiring their superhuman digestive systems.

So, it only took 2 1/2 pages of posts before we started bashing Texans. When I moved here in '79 (from Chicago, GO BEARS!) that would have started in the second posting. My, how time has softened the hearts of the natives...

For the record, I'm not a native. I've only been here since 01. But I lived in Europe the entire time before that. Non-coloradans in Colorado scare me.

That's most of the people in Colorado. Which is why it's best just to pick a state or two, Texas and California being the two perennial favorites.
