His last name was Bell.
Really.
I never knew that.

"It's over for us. If this oil comes ashore, it's just over for us," Rowell said angrily, rubbing his forehead. "Nobody wants no oily shrimp."

I wish I had tacos.
Next you're gonna tell me that Wendy's really is hot 'n' juicy. And she looks so innocent in the pictures...
What about Harvey's? Is it a beautiful thing? If you know what I mean.
I'm SO hungry I could even eat at Arby's.
There are no taco places around here for lunch and now all I want is tacos.
I'm going to get you, IANO, and your little dog too!
Ralph, does Arby's macht fries?
Are they any good?
And now we learn today that Toyota was (sort of) named for its founders. This, from Wikipedia:
"Vehicles were originally sold under the name "Toyoda" (トヨダ), from the family name of the company's founder, Kiichiro Toyoda. In September 1936, the company ran a public competition to design a new logo. Out of 27,000 entries the winning entry was the three Japanese katakana letters for "Toyoda" in a circle. But Risaburo Toyoda, who had married into the family and was not born with that name, preferred "Toyota" (トヨタ) because it took eight brush strokes (a fortuitous number) to write in Japanese, was visually simpler (leaving off two ticks at the end) and with a voiceless consonant instead of a voiced one (voiced consonants are considered to have a "murky" or "muddy" sound compared to voiceless consonants, which are "clear"). Since "Toyoda" l"iterally means "fertile rice paddies", changing the name also helped to distance the company from associations with old-fashioned farming. The newly formed word was trademarked and the company was registered in August 1937 as the "Toyota Motor Company".[
