“We have unfinished business as a team”
With one simple sentence, Michigan offensive tackle Jake Long (a.k.a. guy who almost ate Gerard during a visit to Ann Arbor) put smiles back on the faces of Michigan fans who’ve been, hmm, a little depressed for the last 11 days. He’ll be staying for the 2007 season, along with QB Chad Henne and RB Mike Hart (who is 99% sure).

“Unfinished business.” So simple. So meaningful. So beautiful. Loyalty, pride, and determination. Some of our biggest players are opting against going pro so they can stay another year, as seniors, and beat Ohio State. And play for a title.

Huh? What’s that, God? You don’t hate Michigan football?

I think we’re ready to start being happy again.

[Pseudo-related news: Michigan announced that Bill Clinton will be speaking at the 2007 commencement. Which is, you know, cool, but still not as cool as 2004's 'dude-who-likes-cars'.]

“Mexican Pizza, Bean Burrito w/ Sour Cream”
Yup. I went. I’ve been back and forth all week, trying to decide when I could get started returning to a normal life. And today, I finally decided that I could hold out no longer. As self-proclaimed #1 Taco Bell Fan, I decided that I should be on the front lines, proving to the rest of the world that we can start putting our fears to rest.

And that I ain’t scared of no e. coli. I mean, come on. I’m at least 100 times bigger than it. I could totally kick e. coli’s ass.

I’ll admit, I was a little hesitant. I had initially planned for a dry run - to walk by, possibly step inside, and see what the crowd looked like. To gauge whether others were ready to move on, or if I was the only one. While walking over, I even contemplated a guideline for whether or not I’d eat there.

Less than 3, 100 yard dash.
More than 3, bust out the cash.

(Some of them try to rhyme but they can’t rhyme like this…)

But when I got there, despite there being only one person eating the food at the time, I could not hesitate. The looks on the faces of the workers, utterly delighted to see a customer, were just too hard to resist. Within seconds, I placed my order. While waiting for my food, I engaged in friendly conversation with the cashier (”No green onions, right? Haha!”), and contemplated throwing the other customer a brotherly fist-pound.

The food was glorious. And I feel fine.
