17 year old Joey Gaydos Jr. of “School of Rock” fame was busted for DUI outside of a Taco Bell. Really though, we’ll leave the gay jokes to you guys ’cause I bet he’s heard ‘em all before.
Joey Gaydos Jr. was 12 years old when he played Zack Mooneyham in the 2003 movie “School of Rock.” He has not pursued any acting jobs since then, but at age 17 has gotten himself into a spot of trouble. Mister Gaydos was arrested last month in Michigan for driving under the influence. He was caught by police “trying to drive away from a Taco Bell while intoxicated.” The rest of the details are scarce, but the fact that he was caught “trying” to drive away from the drive through sounds pretty bad.
Other than acting (and apparently drinking), Gaydos has toured the world performing for audiences everywhere and at age 13, he released his debut CD. Besides guitar, Joey recorded all vocals, mandolin, and keyboards. In 2005, he formed The Joey Gaydos Group consisting of him and two others.
Today I found out that the Syracuse Crunch of Syracuse, NY are pretty awesome. Not only is it fun to imagine they’re called the Crunch because they love Taco Bell, but on February 23rd, The Syracuse Crunch announced the details of “Taco Bell Night at the Crunch” to take place on February 28th. Now obviously that has already happened, but its pretty cool if you’re into hockey.
On February 28th, fans of the Syracuse Crunch hockey team could walk into any participating Taco Bell and get one coupon good for $12 off of a Syracuse Crunch hockey game. There wasn’t any other requirement than to go into Taco Bell, but while you were there picking up your free coupon, you might as well enjoy some Taco Bell.
Joshua Trout, 19, decided to speed through a Dodge County Taco Bell parking lot at 11:55 PM. When Joshua lost control of his vehicle, he rolled into the dining room of the Taco Bell hospitalizing him and his passenger April Callies.
Charges of “Causing bodily harm by reckless driving and unreasonable and imprudent speed” are pending against the driver of the truck. April and Joshua were both hospitalized but patient reports were unavailable.
Little information was given, but we can only assume he was very excited to eat his newly purchased Taco Bell. Anyone that excited about Taco Bell surely deserves to be commended, but a love for Taco Bell should never lead to bodily injury. In fact, for us here at Blog Outside The Bun, Taco Bell makes life better and brighter. As much as speeding home to eat Taco Bell sounds like an awesome idea, its better to just wait it out. Absence makes the heart grow fonder and that few minutes it takes to get home will make you enjoy your hard-earned Taco Bell that much more.
According to Christian mythology, the Holy Grail was the dish, plate, or cup used by Jesus at the Last Supper, said to possess miraculous powers. Reports are sparse on what was actually eaten at the Last Supper, but we like to think that it was a Taco Bell Grilled Stuft Burrito. The Grilled Stuft Burrito is one of Taco Bell’s flagship items and being one of the largest and most flavorful, it is definitely last meal material.
After the Grilled Stuft Burrito’s debut, we here at BlogOutsideTheBun have been on a quest to find the perfect Grilled Stuft Burrito. When ordered from the menu, it consists of the meat of your choice, beans, seasoned rice, a three-cheese blend, Pepper Jack Sauce and Fiesta Salsa. That’s all fine and good, but the thing that separates this burrito from the others is the warmth and crunch that comes from pressing it the same way you would press a Quesadilla.
Typically, items on the Taco Bell menu can be made better. Sometimes it helps to add one thing or switch out another, but for a while we thought the Grilled Stuft Burrito was perfect. Fascinated, we put the item through rigorous trial and error. Adding Nacho Cheese changes the dynamic too much, while adding extra Baja Sauce was just a bit too overpowering.
The answer suddenly became clear when we decided to try something completely unprecedented. Taco Bell’s low-fat Sour Cream is cool and creamy and their Jalapeno Sauce has a quite a kick to it. Alone, these flavors were too much, but together they have the power to bring what was once dead back to life. This combination, coupled with its pre-existing taste, makes this Grilled Stuft Burrito worth dying for.
So, there are these two kids, right. So they decide they want to do some drugs. Not only do they want to do some drugs, including marijuana and heroin, but they decide that they want to do these drugs in a car, in a parking lot. Being the intelligent kids that they are, they decide that it would be a great idea to do these drugs, in their car, in a Taco Bell parking lot in Solomons, Maryland. On top of all of these great decisions already, they also decided to do it at 8 in the evening.
James Smith arrested arrested Derek Craig Bradley, 20, and Brandon Angelo Meredith, 19. Office Smith also found a spoon and homemade burner that could potentially be used to prepare the controlled substance heroin. They were both charged with possession of marijuana and possession with intent to use drug paraphernalia.
Seriously, though. If you’re going to do something stupid and illegal don’t do it in a well trafficked area before its even completely dark outside.
Recently, Taco Bell has been offering 49 cent hard or soft Tacos on certain days of the week, depending on where you live. Many of you have seen 49 cent Tacos on Mondays and Thursdays, Sundays only or some other day or days of the week. Taco Bells around the US are doing this, and many see it as signs of the current economic decline.
First the “Why Pay More?” value menu, and now this? Seems like our dear Taco Bell has fallen on hard times recently. Well, not to worry. A little digging reveals that this mind-blowing Taco deal has absolutely nothing to do with the economic decline. Looking back, Taco Bell has done this on multiple occasions. Its less of a sign that they need more money and more of a sign that they’re trying to get more people to come to Taco Bell, bringing us back to this.
So, loyal fans need not worry. McDonald’s does its 49 cent cheeseburgers, Denny’s does free breakfast and Taco Bell, well, Taco Bell gives you a reason to buy ninety-five tacos. Any excuse is good enough for us.
Police are still looking for Pranksters that in Sedalia, Missouri that reportedly used a Taco Bell drive-through radio signal to shout vulgarities at customers. The pranksters in question posed as Taco Bell employees on Tuesday afternoon, but the ordeal only lasted a few minutes.
Despite the fact that it was just a practical joke, they could face charges. The employees of the Taco Bell said that they would definitely press charges if the pranksters were caught.
In order to do something like this, the suspects “would have to be in relatively close proximity to” the Taco Bell to interfere with the drive-through speaker.
Jason Lauth was a man that knew what he wanted. Around 1:00 in the morning, Jason Lauth and his companion, David Stanier, visited a Spring Hill Taco Bell for some late night FourthMeal action. Not only did he know what he wanted, Jason Lauth also knew that he wanted it now. The only thing standing between him and his precious FourthMeal was another excited Taco Bell patron, ready to get his grub on.
Now Jason, he decides whatever is going in the car in front of him is taking much too long, so he yells, “Hurry up!”
Hearing this, the two men in front of him climb out of their vehicle and approach Lauth and Stanier. Lauth gets out to meet them, grabs one man by his collared shirt, cocks back his fist and BAM! before Lauth’s punch lands the man’s partner gives him a good one in the face
The Taco Bell staff called the police as Lauth, defeated, returned to his vehicle. He and Stanier drove off, only to be picked up by police at around 1:15 AM less than a mile down the road. The deputy that pulled them over split them up for for separate interviews. David Stanier, the driver, could not produce his license because it had been suspended. When asked how much he had to drink, the only response he could come up with was “A lot.”
Lauth was also clearly intoxicated and told the deputy that he was beaten up at Taco Bell. When the deputy asked about the details of the fight, Lauth suddenly remembered that he lost a fight over Taco Bell and denied that it happened. The deputy then brought up Lauth’s original statement, and in his drunken state, he called the deputy a liar.
Jason Lauth has since been charged with misdemeanor battery and David Stanier was charged with DUI.
After the unorthodox wedding between Paul and Caragh Brooks at an Illinois Taco Bell, they have since spoken on a radio show and also had a brief interview on the CBS Early show. Outside of that, they have been mentioned in many places including The Tonight Show, The Late Show and Chelsea Lately.
After meeting on OKCupid.com, they never originally planned to get married in a Taco Bell. Paul and Caragh both wanted to get married on Caragh’s mother’s wedding anniversary, but when they called the courthouse, there were no openings. Being married that day was important enough for Paul to call his ordained minister friend to marry them. When the minister asked where he wanted it to take place Paul responded “eh…Taco Bell?”
“I didn’t think she would go for it,” Paul said. “At first it was supposed to be just us, the minister, and the two witnesses…but once people found out, I figured I should probably [OK it] with Taco Bell.”
Caragh apparently got a lot of flak for being married at a Taco Bell and paying only $200 for it, but her response was simple:
“It’s funny…the negative reactions you see from people when they say [sarcastically], ‘You must really love her spending $200 on a wedding.’ “Since when does money represent how much you care about someone?”
Both Paul and Caragh say they are “laid back, low-key and we just couldn’t fathom spending that sort of money on a wedding.”
My favorite part of the story comes when we find out that the President of Taco Bell is also from Australia, Caragh’s native country. “He sent us a hand-written letter congratulating us and a check for $200 to cover the cost of the wedding,” Paul said.
Although Caragh’s visa status has not yet allowed her to work within the U.S., Paul runs a video production company he started a little over a year ago.
To those like myself, Taco Bell is the greatest place on Earth, but to be fair, Paul and Caragh Brooks took it to an entirely new level.
Paul and Caragh claim they are both a little wacky, despite being married in Normal, IL. After meeting on an internet dating website and getting engaged on New Year’s Eve, they both decided to have their wedding in a local Taco Bell.
The grand total of the wedding was only $200 including the food, streamers, balloons and the $15 hot pink wedding dress. There was no word on what they ate or how much they ate, but props to them for going through with it. Many people would mock them both, but congratulations are in order for doing something as bold and lighthearted as this.
