another crazy thing that strikes my fancy

is the Taco Bell chihuahua, aka Dinky or Gidget or Taco

about the ad campaign + Gidget in particular + chihuahuas in general + taco bell dog racist? + now, everyone wants one + Chihuahua, as in the Mexican State + real revolutionary

Mind you, I am no real fan of Taco Bell -- politically, or as food. But like every other American, I am a sucker for that doggie in the window.

Chihuahua purists claim that Gidget, or Dinky, or Taco (Gidget is the original dog -- but she has stand-ins) are "kind of ugly", but I must disagree. Ginger Snap, the amazing Buddhist chihuahua of Albina Street, is quite similar looking -- and a great chihuahua (even tho she might jump right out of Kathy's coat and bite your head off in tiny little bites).
