Guten Tag! World War I was a bummer, trench warfare sucked. How did they call it WWI, if they didn't know WWII was going to happen??? (The Nazis run the world, that is how) "Longing," "Rusted," "Seventeen," "Daybreak," "Furnace," "Nine," "Benign," "Homecoming," "One," and "Freight car". Now that we are all ready to comply, let's discuss some German history and how it impacts the taco recipe.
I always thought there was a grand conspiracy that the Zimmerman Telegraph was faked and sent by Britain to make the American lads join the war. Everyone hates America until you need to win a war, then our phone rings. (or telegram, maybe word of mouth?, can a carrier pigeon fly across the Atlantic?)
The German Empire wanted to do unrestricted submarine warfare. Subway, Eat Fresh! USA didn't appreciate blowing up US merchant ships with no warning, we don't take kindly to bullies, and have never done anything illegal or questionable at any time throughout US history. 🇺🇸 However, the German Empire doesn't take kindly to folks who don't take kindly. So they sent the "You up?" to Mexico.
Sending the "You up?" has never worked in my experience, send tips and recommendations my way. Like me, The German Empire was left on read.
This genius Arthur Zimmermann said we wouldn't like getting attacked and would enter the war if the bombings started back up. Let's squad up with Mexico to slow US supplying allies overseas. Then Germany would support Mexico invading America to take back Texas, Arizona and New Mexico.
I think I would sacrifice New Mexico, Arizona, and Texas in that order. I think you can argue not much happens in New Mexico. My first New Mexico thought was Albuquerque was the set scene of High School Musical. Was Troy or Gabriella hotter? I'd vote Gabriella, I think Troy slid in my rankings because his High School Musical hair bothers me now. I always wanted that back in the day.
Losing Arizona would suck from a scenery vibe, Sedona is very nice and I recommend visiting.
I'm letting Texas go last. They are the most annoying and always talk about seceding from USA, and think they are too important (all bark no bite). But looking into the future, they have a big GDP and lots of cities and unfortunately too important to USA and it's future. So Texas needs to zip their loud mouths. Do some America first stuff for once.
And it's also hot as shit in those states. "BuT iT's a DrY HeAT" Why people want to live in hell as long as it's a dry heat beats the hell out of me. The devil went down to Georgia and I think got his (or her, I'm not sexist) and got their ass kicked by Johnny and his SMOOTH southern flow on the fiddle. The dry heat got kicked out west. Thank you Johnny.
Anyway, a Mexican ambassador or president probably yelled "NO DEAL" to a German Howie Mandel. (Deal or No Deal is actually an amazing show) I probably seen 90% of the episodes. And everyone always takes one too many "NO DEALS", a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.
Fast forward, the bad guys lose WWI and WW2. But that should have been expected because any time we look at history the good guys won the battle. Thankfully Mussolini abandoned life so I can still be a pround, hairy Italian.
Fast forward past the cold war. a big nothing burger. Not even using capital letters to describe the Cold War (damn I just did it).
Fast forward, to Barrack Obama. The 44th President who wore a tan suit. DISGUSTING! His adminstration passed DACA to provide help for undocumented immigrant children called dreamers. Aren't we all immigrant children from heaven above? It seems that dream was imagining people with different backgrounds can coexist. IDK about all the illegal immigrant beef, but I want to wear Nike shoes, not make them.
So thank you Mexico, for not wanting the smoke. I think we are friends? We salute you and offer this midwestern Taco recipe.
Midwest Taco
hard shell
ground beef
taco seasoned shredded cheese
lettuce
black olive slices
sour cream
Maybe taco sauce but that is SPICY
Hey, I mentioned many times this was mid.
This had no fact checking and likely contains many errors. I can guarantee nothing besides a crap taco. Read a book if you care about war.
