Strangely, there are no sources indicating alcohol or drug abuse, meaning this was apparently a sober decision. I guess sometimes you just really need tacos.

If he'd spent that money on tacos instead of swords, he'd surely have as many tacos as he could ever want.

I think this article is missing some pretty key information.

1. Which restaurant?
2. What kind of tacos?

This stuff is important.

Silly Michael. The guy is wielding a sword, then obviously is the restaurant of CRIME, and he is going there to order some tacos of JUSTICE, accompanied by SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY.

It still makes you shit your digestive system, though.

Edit: even though it was obviously the most unnecessary robbery ever, you HAVE to believe he actually had some implicit noble intents. In a world (state, specifically) of guns, a sword can never be used for the evil. Specially if it's a katana.

Adam Benjamin Kramer began threatening a waitress during the Dec. 2 incident by pulling the sword in and out of its sheath when she told him he would have to pay for his order of six tacos.


There are so many unanswered questions packed into that one sentence. Those words were assembled by a true master of what-the-fuck-ism'ing; an art form that I had, until just now, assumed was lost.

All that I can say is that Adam Benjamin Kramer should have gone for the quesadillas, and maybe unsheathed the sword only once. Well, that, or gone for all of the tacos.

Eric, when you run into a campsite in Texas, how do you ask for six tacos? Is there a protocol that you follow, or some sort of guidelines?

The sword in question was 6 inches long.

Apparently in Texas if it's bigger than 5 inches, it's a sword.

I'm just gonna let you ponder on that one while I go polish my broadsword.

Tomorrow is taco night at the local bar, I'm excited.

Memories are what reason is based upon. If we can't face them we deny reason itself! Although why Not? We aren't contractually tied down to rationality! There Is no Sanity Clause! So when you find yourself locked onto an unpleasant train of thought, heading for the places in your past where the Screaming is Unbearable, Remember, There is always Madness. You can just step Outside and close the door on all those Dreadful things that happened. You can lock them Away. Madness is the Emergency Exit.

I'm torn between making a Crocodile Dundee joke or a "bigger in Texas" joke.

He's just lucky the police didn't try an Indiana Jones joke.

A similar incident happened in France, this time with an ax. Is this the start of a thing with fast food and bladed weapons?
