Taco Bell ad star Gidget the Chihuahua dies at 15

By ROBERT JABLON (AP) – 2 hours ago

LOS ANGELES — Handlers say Gidget the Chihuahua, whose Taco Bell commercials made her a star, has died. She was 15. The owner of Studio Animal Services in Castaic says Gidget suffered a massive stroke late Tuesday at her trainer's home in Santa Clarita and had to be euthanized.

Gidget was the sassy mascot in Taco Bell commercials from 1997 to 2000. While other dogs had bit parts, it was her bug-eyed, big-eared face that is seen pronouncing, in a dubbed male voice, "Yo quiero Taco Bell." The ads made the Taco Bell mascot wildly popular, although they provoked some criticism from activists who felt they used Mexican stereotypes.

Gidget also had a role in the movie "Legally Blonde 2."

Heads or Tales: Where

A HEE HAW CLASSIC DITTY

Where oh where are you tonight?
Why did you leave me here all alone?
I searched the world over and I thought I'd found true love.
But you met another and PTHHP! you was gone.

You took out your false teeth, your wig and your glasses.
You were just scattered all over the place.
I wanted to kiss you and hug you so tightly.
I guess that I would have if I'd found your face.

I went to your house at three in the morning.
You had all them curlers and junk in your hair.
You would not have scared me and I'd not have run so,
If you had not looked like you'd wrestled a bear.

I told you my darlin' you looked like a gopher.
Made you so mad, you haven't spoke since.
But tell me my darling if you ain't got buck teeth.
How do you eat apples through a picket fence?

When I picked you up for our date last weekend.
You looked so pretty in your satin and lace.
But when I bent over and started to kiss you,
you popped a pimple all over my face!

The Queen's Meme: Mission Impossible!

Mimi, the Queen of the Blogosphere has starting a new meme!

The Queen's Meme

http://mimiqueenofmemes.blogspot.com/

______________________________________________

1. You are a guest on the space shuttle. You just arrived on the moon and realize you forgot something back home that you can't live without. What is it and how do you convince them to go back and fetch it? I totally forgot my laptop! I MUST have it. We will go back and get it or every man on this ship will pay the price!

2. Pretend you are a teacher in a rough public school for one day. You have been assigned to teach Manners 101. You have the "challenging bad butt kids" class (remember this is a pretend school and anyway I can't say ass on my blog 'cause it's so unQueenly and I might get fined or something).
They are jumping up and down, cursing, and throwing things at you. What is the first thing you would write on the board? "My name is Dr. Death. I am here to collect souls."

3. Someone in your family or a friend has started a blog. They think it is anonymous but you have figured it out. They are saying derogatory things about you. Do you tell them or do you read it for awhile? How would you handle it? I would read it for awhile just to see how they really feel about me then I would confront that person(s). Depending on how our conversation goes will depend on if I ever talk to them again after that.

4. If you had one dollar left in your pocket, what would you spend it on? A Butterfinger candy bar out of the snack machine located downstairs at work.

5. President Obama and the First Lady are coming over for dinner. What do you serve? I have to cook? If I don't have to cook then I will pick up something on the way home from work...Subway or Taco Bell. Otherwise they can cook dinner for me.

6. You walk in on your lover. They are trying on your clothes. What do you do? Help him adjust them properly.

7. Every astronaut must have shots! Choose your vaccination: You only get one and you can't enjoy any of the attributes of the other choices. You choose either: (1) The fountain of eternal youth and sexual vigor but only for 10 years (2) perfect health for a lifetime (3) eternal mind-numbing nirvana and peace of mind (4) unlimited hedonism for one year with no negative consequences. I would like perfect health for a lifetime please! I am so tired of having medical and dental problems.
