Is Sammy Sosa Turning White?
Meet Paul and Caragh Brooks. They met via an internet dating site. Caragh lived in Australia and after nine months of emails and phone calls between her and Paul, she moved to the States. On New Year's Eve, Paul proposed and she said yes. It may not be the conventional "boy-meets-girl" story, but, hey, who are we to judge? Said Paul, "We have the same brain, just in two bodies. We think alike in virtually every manner. We have the same interests, viewpoints." Good for them. But, see, here's where shit gets weird: the pair got hitched this past Friday at a Taco Bell in (ironically) Normal. According to an AP report, "because, they like to spend time at the local Taco Bell, they decided to wed there." Okay, now we're gonna judge. Look, we understand times are tough. And maybe the two do have "an off-beat relationship" as Paul told the AP. But...really? A Taco Bell? Seriously? I once broke up with a girlfriend at a Waffle House, but I don't think it's quite the same thing.

Maybe it has something to do with the Gorditas she's keeping in her dress.
"We have the same brain, just in two bodies"
Half a mind apiece? This explains everything.
How long do you have to stay married to secure a green card? I bet she knows.
Are you saying she's made a run for the border?
You know, I took my first date to taco bell.
Doing this at a Waffle House would actually be cool.
I miss Waffle House, the toothless waitresses and the Waffle House songs... :(
At my "regular" Waffle House when I was in high school, our waitress, Ruby, proved to us the red phone means nothing. She picked it up and hung it back up and said, "See if any police show up." Dang if she wasn't right when no one ever showed.
I miss the jukeboxes with the weird song selection - where else could you hear Johnny Cash, Roy Orbison, and Ricky Martin during the same meal?

Scattered, smothered, covered and diced! 'twas my order for years.
I love the S-T headline: "Normal couple weds at Taco Bell." I'm betting the copy desk was laughing their asses off at that one.
Living in Normal, that must get old.
Much like the fine folks in Beecher, IL
"Beecher Meats"
"Beecher Tool and Die"
and so forth...
Or Peotone.
If you can't whistle a tune, Peotone.
But, yeah, she's dumping this guy after a few months. And after that it'll be just him and his chalupa.
Makes you wonder where Drew Peterson will marry wife #5 . . .
