Wonder if he used any hightech spy gear?
FAIRFAX, Va. -- A fired CIA employee has pleaded guilty to charges that he burglarized 10 homes near the agency's head- quarters.
Prosecutors said George C. Dalmas III, 48, admitted in Fairfax County Circuit Court that he broke into the homes
from October 2005 to January of this year.
He was charged with taking items that included valuable jewelry, collectibles such as Camp David cuff links and 1,074 pairs of women's underwear.
His lawyer, Gary Moliken, said mental health issues, rather than greed, motivated Dalmas, whom he described as a pack rat.
According to court documents, Dalmas never tried to pawn or sell the jewelry or other valuable goods.
Investigators said Dalmas was tracked down after a woman reported an intruder in January and gave police information from the license plates of the intruder's getaway car.
CIA officials said Dalmas worked for the agency for almost 20 years and was fired from his mid-level administrative post in August.
He faces up to 20 years in prison for each of the 10 burglaries when he's sentenced Feb. 9, though prosecutors and defense attorneys say he is likely to receive less time.

911 call led cops to victim of alligator
Carlos Mayid couldn't see Adrian Apgar being attacked by an alligator early Wednesday, but he could hear him.With his cell phone in hand and a sheriff's operator on the line, a calm Mayid left his home near Lake Parker and walked down his street in the pre-dawn darkness toward the screams of a man who was fighting for his life in the water.
In the recording of a dramatic 911 call released Thursday, Mayid is heard breathing heavily and walking through wet grass as Apgar's repeated cries grow louder. Finally, he got close enough to yell back.
"Hey. What's up? What do you need?" Mayid hollered.
"A gator's got me," Apgar replied, his voice faint in the background.
Mayid's call shortly after 4 a.m. sent four Polk County deputies racing to the 2,150-acre lake north of U.S. Highway 92 just outside Lakeland, where they jumped into the water and literally wrenched Apgar's arm from the gator's mouth. The victim, who told authorities he had passed out nude on the shore after smoking crack cocaine, was rushed to a hospital in critical condition.
Later Wednesday, state wildlife authorities trapped and killed a nearly 12-foot-long alligator thought to be the one that attacked Apgar, who remained today in Lakeland Regional Medical Center. His family asked that his condition not be released.
Mayid's call was picked up by a sleepy-sounding operator, Josh Fulman.
"There's a guy screaming bloody murder over here, 'Help' in front of the Moose Lodge," Mayid said. He could not be reached Thursday to elaborate on his experience.
"I can hear him
from inside my house. . . . He's screaming 'Help, help, help, help.' "From the time Mayid finally talked with Apgar, a dramatic back-and-forth relay followed with Mayid serving as the middleman between victim and operator.
Fulman told Mayid that deputies were on the way, but there was little the two could do. Meanwhile, Apgar kept screaming.
The tension built.
Replying to a plea from Apgar that was inaudible on the tape, Mayid said, "I ain't going over there. I can't go in there anyway. . . . I don't know how the hell they're going to get through."
Mayid ended up getting close enough to repeatedly ask Apgar what body part the alligator had, yelling, "Help is on the way; help is on the way."
About five minutes into the nearly eight-minute call, Fulman suggested Mayid tell Apgar to punch the alligator. "I don't know if it's true, but if you punch him in the nose . . . it may let him go," he said.
Mayid relayed the message and immediately came back with Apgar's response: "Too big."
There was an audible sigh.
Said Mayid, "He says he needs a gun."
Polk County deputies arrived about two minutes later and soon reached Apgar in the water. He was naked, slumped over in the alligator's jaws in chest-deep water on the east side of Lake Parker.
After a "tug-of-war" match with the gator, three deputies and their sergeant were able to rescue Apgar and carry him to shore. The entire rescue took about 20 minutes.
Apgar told the deputies he had been smoking crack cocaine and fell asleep on the shore when the alligator attacked him. The area includes a strip of land with a picnic table.
But local and state officials said Thursday that they don't know whether Apgar was on the land or already in the water when he was attacked. Said Gary Morse, spokesman for the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, "We don't know what happened."
Sheriff's officials have said Apgar, 45, of Polk City suffered a broken right arm. His left arm was nearly severed, hanging by a tendon, and he had bites to his buttocks and leg. He was in critical condition and underwent surgery Wednesday afternoon at Lakeland Regional Medical Center.
Morse said the 11-foot-9-inch, 600-pound alligator trapped several hours after the attack had been euthanized, a necessary step to protect the public.
The alligator was "much larger" than average, Morse said.
Investigators aren't positive the captured alligator was the one that attacked Apgar, but they think it is the likely culprit because it was the only gator feeding in that area.
They did not perform a necropsy on the animal because Apgar is not missing limbs.
"Everybody who comes in contact with that alligator is at risk," Morse said. "Alligators don't normally attack people. When they do, something is amiss."

What's the point, by gum
AN advertisement which features a man with elongated nipples could be pulled from TV screens in days.
The plug stars a beachgoer whose nipples miraculously grow after he tries Mentos chewing gum.The Advertising Standards Board said complaints from disgusted viewers started as soon as the ad was screened at the weekend.
The ad's star uses his new appendages to catch frisbees, press lift buttons and even spin discs on a DJ's turntable - while a bevvy of admiring bikini-clad girls look on.
"As soon as the advert went to air we received a number of complaints about its content, regarding inappropriate sexual references and claims that it was discriminatory to both men and women," ASB chief executive Fiona Jolly said. "The advert is being rushed on to the agenda of the next meeting of the board this week."
The ASB can ask Mentos to withdraw or edit the advertisement. Although the board's decisions are not legally enforceable, it has a 100 per cent record of compliance among advertisers.
Mentos Ice brand manager Juliette Toolin said the advertisement was intended to be "light-hearted".
"It's simply a tongue-in-cheek and humorous way of telling people about our product," she said. "We thought we might get some sort of reaction but we don't believe this is offensive."
She said a few viewers had complained directly to the company.

Sex aid declared as bomb
The Associated Press (AP) has reported that a 29-year-old man travelling abroad told airport security officers a sexual aid he had packed for the trip was a bomb
.
Madin Azad Amin was intending to travel to Turkey with his mother when he was stopped by officials on August 16 after they spotted a grenade-like object in Mr Amin's baggage, said AP.
Rather explaining the nature of the item in front of his mother, Mr Amin told the officials it was a bomb.
The item was in fact a section of a penis pump, AP reported Cook County Assistant State's Attorney Lorraine Scaduto as having said.
The report also said that a spokesperson for the Attorney's office confirmed Mr Amin had been charged with felony disorderly conduct.
He faces up to three years in prison if convicted.

The GOOD Book!!
Nothing like the smell of a Bible 1st thing in the morning!!
Inmate, Wife Smuggle Bibles Backed With Blow
Anthony W. Duckworth, 32, pleaded guilty Monday in a Huntington County court to two counts of trafficking with an inmate. His wife, Amy M. Duckworth, 28, pleaded guilty to the same charges on June 19.
On March 10, Jail Commander Steve McIntyre intercepted one Bible that was to have gone to Anthony Duckworth's cellmate, Joshua Gidley. McIntyre opened the ends of the spine, which had been glued shut, and found a plastic bag containing about 2 grams of cocaine, he said.
According to police reports, guards could not remember who had delivered the Bible to the jail in the city about 20 miles southwest of Fort Wayne. But on March 27, Sgt. Paul Douglas found a similar Bible with a lump in the spine and discovered two plastic bags inside. One contained cocaine and the other contained a substance
later identified as tobacco.Bar-code stickers led authorities to a Wal-Mart, where they found a Bible had been bought with a credit card. The receipt was signed by Amy Duckworth and a surveillance video showed her making the purchase, police said.
Investigators said she later admitted buying the Bibles but said someone else supplied the cocaine and that she enlisted two other people to deliver them to the jail, where her husband planned to sell the drugs.
Anthony Duckworth's sentencing is set for Aug. 7. Amy Duckworth is scheduled to be sentenced July 24.
Bye Bye Rosie!

Inmates Sue to Overturn Nude Magazine Ban
Jul 12,
By KEN KUSMER
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) - Two inmates have filed a lawsuit against the Indiana Department of Correction to overturn a policy that bars magazines such as Playboy and Hustler.
The lawsuit filed Tuesday in U.S. District Court in Indianapolis seeks class-action status on behalf of more than 20,000 state prisoners and challenges a policy that went into effect July 1 barring adult magazines and other printed material that depict nudity or sexu
al content.
The policy could prohibit sexually explicit letters and publications such as National Geographic magazine and daily newspapers, according to the complaint, which said the new rule violates the plaintiffs' civil rights.
"The policy is written so broadly that it includes within its prohibitions such things as personal letters between prisoners and loved ones and much of the world's great literature and art," said the complaint, which was prepared by the American Civil Liberties Union of Indiana.
One of the two plaintiffs named in the complaint is Ernest Tope, 53, an inmate at the Pendleton Correctional Facility near Anderson who is serving a life sentence for murder. He claims he cannot subscribe to the motorcycle magazine Easyriders because it contains partial nudity.
The policy may also may bar books such as steamy novels by the best-selling author Jackie Collins that have been available in the past through the prison library, the lawsuit claims.
Both Tope and the other named plaintiff, murder and auto theft convict Wade Meisberger, 34, challenged the new policy through the prison grievance system but so far been unsuccessful, the complaint said. Meisberger, 34, is held at the Miami Correctional Facility near Peru.
DOC spokeswoman Java Ahmed said agency officials had not yet reviewed the lawsuit and had no comment.

Free Gas Sets Off Fights in Milwaukee
Email this Story
Jul 12, 4:46 PM (ET)
MILWAUKEE (AP) - Two vehicles crashed and four people were arrested in excitement over a gasoline giveaway Wednesday to reward the city for its safe-driving record.
For the most part, hundreds of drivers waited patiently for hours for about $30 worth of free gasoline each that Allstate Insurance provided at one station.
However, some mot
orists started lining up before midnight and the queue stretched far from the station into a residential area, trapping some residents in their driveways, said police spokeswoman Anne E. Schwartz.
That led to fights and arrests for disorderly conduct. In one case, three officers were sent to a hospital as a precaution because they were spattered with blood from someone's bloodied nose, Schwartz said.
The two crashes apparently occurred when queued-up motorists tried to let friends into line, Schwartz said.
"Any time you offer free gas when it is $3 a gallon, it is not surprising people would get excited," she said.
Allstate gave away a tanker truck load of gasoline as a reward to Milwaukee for ranking No. 1 among mid-sized cities on its safe drivers list.
Clarence Jefferson said he thought he'd be first in line when he got there at 4 a.m. - but found hundreds of others already ahead of him. Pumps were turned on at about 6 a.m.
"It doesn't matter," he said. "It helps. Every bit is worth it."Tuesday, July 11, 2006
I am not scared of clowns, just the people that portray them!!
Clown fear rocks festival organisers
From: Agence France-PresseORGANISERS of a British rock festival have been forced to change its circus theme after a number of ticket-holders told them they had a phobia of clowns.
The Bestival event on the Isle of Wight, off England's south coast, in early September was to have encouraged festival-goers to dress up in curly red wigs and oversized shoes.
Last year's Cowboys or Indians theme broke a world record for the biggest fancy dress party when 10,000 people turned up in disguise.
But organisers feared thousands of clowns in one place could spark mass panic in the psychedelic atmosphere of the festival, which is popular with so-called "nouveaux hippies", The Times reported.
"We have had so many people with clown phobias contact us I am worried everyone might end up hiding in the woods," Rob da Bank, a BBC Radio One disc jockey who will "curate" the show, was quoted as saying.
Fear of clowns - or coulrophobia - has symptoms including shortness of breath, rapid breathing, irregular heartbeat, nausea, sweating and a sense of foreboding, The Times pointed out.
Heavy make-up and bulbous noses, plus negative childhood memories of the supposed funnymen and women, are thought to be the root cause.

The Drunken Pelican
Bet it was a Frat Boy bet to play "chicken" with the car!!
Intoxicated pelicans rounded up
FOUR pelicans suspected of being drunk on sea algae were being tested at a Southern California wildlife centre after one of them crashed headlong into a car.
Three of the California brown pelicans were found wandering dazed in the streets of Laguna Beach after another pelican struck a vehicle's windshield on a nearby coast road.
It suffered internal injuries and a long gash in its pouch and was undergoing toxicology tests.
Officials at the Wildlife Care Centre said the seabirds may have been under the influence of algae in the ocean that can produce domoic acid poisoning when eaten.
The other pelicans were rounded up after assistant wildlife director Lisa Birkle warned the public to be on the lookout for birds acting "drunk," disoriented or being in an unusual place.

We're in hot pursuit, Flash!!!
I am guessing this officer was not in need of any exercise. 10 mph????
A 42-year-old Lake Crystal man led sheriff's deputies on a goose chase. His getaway vehicle: a 5-horsepower mini-motorcycle.
A call came in reporting that Douglas Lee Menne had wiped out at a downtown intersection. Sheriff's Deputy Jeff Wersal responded, suspecting it was a case of drunk driving.
By the time the deputy arrived at the intersection, Menne had recovered and driven off. After locating him, Wersal tried to get Menne to pull over. The bike had no tail light or license plate.
Wersal pursued Menne to a parking lot where he paused briefly, re-started the bike and zipped out the other side of the lot. The chase continued as Menne put-putted down a nearby street at about 25 mph.
Wersal pulled alongside Menne and yelled at him to stop. The chase slowed to about 10 mph when Wersal pulled in front of the bike.
Wersal then fired his Taser out his squad car window. One dart hit Menne, but fell out. The effort hindered Menne enough for Wersal to get out of his car and push Menne off the bike. It took the help of another deputy to make the arrest, according to the report.
Menne was jailed and released later after posting $12,000 bail. Charges are pending.

Idiots we work with
There is alway at least one of these types we have worked with. Sometimes, it might be ourselves!!
YOUR BRAIN - DON’T LEAVE HOME WITHOUT IT
A woman had just purchased several items she needed from a department store and was handed the credit card receipt to sign.
The cashier noticed that the back of the woman’s credit card wasn't signed and told her she couldn't complete the transaction without a signed card.
The woman was slightly confused by this request but complied and signed the back of the card immediately after signing the receipt.
The cashier took both the receipt and the card, held them up, and compared the signature.
Surprisingly they matched.
THAT'S JUST GOOFY!
The management of Walt Disney World, after two months of negotiation, finally relented and no longer
makes the costume character actors share their underwear.
Before the final settlement the actors were only allowed to wear Disney provided underwear that were laundered and passed out randomly.
The actor complained to management that the underwear was often not clean, smelled bad, had stains and "things have been passed around."
Actors will now be allowed to have personal underwear, that Disney will issue, and the employees can take home and launder themselves.
Of course this won't affect the character of Donald Duck because, as we know, he doesn’t wear any pants.
JUST LET ME ASK YOU A FEW QUESTIONS FIRST
Businesses are only as good as the people they hire.
We've all come across people in stores, on the phone or in offices and wondered to ourselves "How did they get hired?"
Well, sometimes there's not a lot out there to choose from.
A questionnaire was sent out to Vice Presidents and personnel directors of the one hundred largest corporations asking them to describe their most unusual experience interviewing prospective employees.
Here are some of their responses:
* A job applicant challenged the interviewer to an arm wrestle.
* Interviewee wore a Walkman, explaining that she could listen to the interviewer and the music at the same time.
* Candidate announced she hadn't had lunch and proceeded to eat a hamburger and French fries in the interviewers office.
* Candidate said he never finished high school because he was kidnapped and kept in a closet in Mexico.
* Applicant interrupted interview to phone her therapist for advice on how to answer specific interview questions.

Man attacks mother over 'American Idol' dispute
PLATTSBURGH, N.Y. A Plattsburgh man is facing felony charges for allegedly striking his mother in the head after the two disagreed about the fate of an "American Idol" contestant.
According to court records, 24-year-old Cory Favreau was discussing the television show with his m
other, Jan Chagnon, on May 24th -- the night of the finale.
His mother made comments that contestant Katharine McPhee was going to have a successful career despite losing to another contestant, Taylor Hicks.
Favreau allegedly stood up, made a malicious comment to his mother and struck her in the head with a sharpened, cross-shaped object attached to a bicycle chain.
Court records say the two were drinking alcohol at the time.
Chagnon was treated at C-V-P-H Medical Center for a cut to the top of her head and was released.
Favreau was charged with second-degree assault and third-degree criminal possession of a weapon. He was sent to Clinton County Jail, where he was still being held tonight on five-thousand dollars cash bail.
He is scheduled to reappear June 5 in City Court.

Fill up for crack??
Sad to say, but he had a great idea!
Man Who 'Sold' Gasoline for $10 Charged
BALTIMORE (AP) - A man who police say pretended to be a station attendant and "sold" gasoline to drivers for $10 a tank was stealing the expensive commodity and pocketing the purchase money.
Joseph K. Boulware, 41, of address unknown, was arrested May 19 at a gas station in West Baltimore where, police said, he dispensed 450 gallons of gas worth about $1,300. He was charged theft, assault and possession of crack cocaine. His bail status could not be determined late Tuesday.
Authorities said Boulware used a magnetic key and a code that effectively places a pump on standby mode, allowing him to dispense gasoline unnoticed.
Boulware had worked for gas testing companies, which is how police believe he obtained the key and code.
A spokeswoman for Austin, Texas-based Tanknology said Boulware worked there from February to May 2004, but would not discuss his employment further, The (Baltimore) Sun reported.
"He asks you, 'You want gas? I will fill you up for $10,'" said Mohammad Mehtabdin, manager of the Citgo station where Boulware was arrested. "Nobody will complain about that."
About 5:30 p.m. on May 19, a $71 charge for pump No. 8 showed up on the register inside the Citgo, catching sales associate Francis Okondu by surprise.
Okondu, Mehtabdin and three other employees confronted the man.
"I was working that night," said Mehtabdin. "He was going pump to pump. He was selling gas to the people. So our employees noticed. We asked him, 'What are you doing here?' He said, 'Nothing, nothing.'"
While trying to flee, the man punched a station worker in the face, the manager said.
"He tried to run away, but we surrounded him," Mehtabdin said. "He was yelling, 'I did nothing.'"
The man fled inside the station. When police arrived, they reported finding the black magnetic key hidden inside a Ritz cracker box on a shelf stocked.
Police recovered the key, and seized $335 in cash and two purple vials containing rocklike substances that Boulware "had in his possession," police said.
Police say they are investigating other gas-pilfering schemes at as many as eight other stations.
"He had a lot of customers," Okondu said.

Ice Cream Truck Driver Charged With DUI
GOSHEN, Ind. (AP) - Police say they found a nearly empty pint bottle of vodka between the front seats of an ice cream truck after they pulled over the driver for swerving into the wrong lane.
Goshen Police Patrolman Jared Baer spotted the yellow-and-white van in a subdivision, after several motorists called Saturday to report the swerving vehicle in the city about 25 miles southeast of South Bend, police said.
The van was stopped, and the driver was selling ice cream to children, so Baer waited until Dennis D. Cogburn, 51, of Bowie, Texas, started up again.
Baer said he f
ollowed the van and pulled it over after Cogburn failed to signal turns and swerved into the wrong lane.
Cogburn failed field sobriety tests and was arrested on a preliminary charge of driving under the influence of alcohol.
Cogburn reported having chest pains, so he was taken to a hospital, where a test showed his blood-alcohol level was 0.24 percent, three times the state's legal level to drive a car.
Baer impounded the ice cream van and found the nearly empty bottle of vodka, he reported.
Cogburn told police he's staying in a South Bend motel, working for the ice cream company, but planned to move back to Texas soon.

Smoking and sex go hand-in-hand?
Mon May 29, 9:16 AM ET
Australian brothel owners want an exemption to anti-smoking laws for sex workers and their clients because, they say, one thing leads to another.
Newspapers reported Sunday that the Australian Adult Entertainment Industry had written to Victoria state officials seeking an exemption to laws which ban smoking in workplaces for fear they will drive prostitutes back onto the street.
"People smoke when they drink, and people smoke when they fornicate," the industry group's William Albon was quoted as saying by Australian Associated Press.
Smoking is banned in most public buildings across Australia and will be outlawed in hotels and other licensed premises in Victoria in July.
Albon said the ban would force "men, women and transgender persons" who work as prostitutes out of the state's 87 legal brothels and onto the streets, where they could potentially become targets for violence.
"Having them standing dressed in terms not conventional for the street might be a magnet for violent, anti-social behavior," he said.

Naked man arrested for bank robbery
Burnaby RCMP say a shameless bank robber resorted to an unusual and ultimately unsuccessful diversionary tactic as he tried to elude them on Wednesday.
The incident began at about 12:30 p.m., when a man entered a bank in the 1900-block of Willingdon Avenue and demanded money.
As he fled the scene on foot, police say the man shed his clothes before attempting to flag down a passing cab.
When the taxi driver refused to stop for the naked man, police say the suspect streaked on foot toward the Gilmore SkyTrain station.
Pursing officers tackled him before he reached the station.
A 27-year-old man of no fixed address was taken into custody. He was scheduled to appear in court Thursday.

Woman Allegedly Hits Two With Raid Can
ATHENS, Ala. (AP) - A woman was charged with
domestic violence for allegedly hitting her husband and another woman on the head with a can of Raid bug spray after she found them together.
Police Sgt. Trevor Harris said a "nosy neighbor" called the woman at work on Friday and told her that her husband was at their apartment having an affair with another woman, prompting the wife to head home.
"She came in and caught her husband with another woman and she grabbed a can of Raid and went at it," said another officer, Capt. Marty Bruce. "She hit the husband in the back of the head with it and then turned on the woman and also hit her in the head."
The woman who was struck needed stitches for a head wound, police said, and the husband also was cut but did not require medical treatment.
Cornelia Cottrell Smith, 26, of Athens was arrested on a misdemeanor charge of domestic violence and released from the City Jail after posting a $1,000 bond. No one answered a call Tuesday at a telephone number listed for her address.

Cookie gives lax lessons
Stay away from the homemade Girlscout cookies! And please get off the towers...
Mom said to help girls bake Ex-Lax cookies
Associated Press
SKOWHEGAN, Maine - A 43-year-old woman is charged with helping her daughter and two other teenage girls
bake cookies laced with a laxative that were then given to a teacher.
Julie Hunt appeared in Skowhegan District Court on Monday and pleaded innocent to a charge of misdemeanor assault.
Hunt was arrested Friday after a police investigation into the attempted prank at Carrabec Community School in Anson that sickened four seventh- and eighth-grade children.
The cookies, which were baked with Ex-Lax, were left on the teacher's desk on April 10 with a note saying, "We made these cookies just for you, hope you enjoy them."
According to a police affidavit, Hunt told the girls how to crush the laxative pills and mix them in with the cookie batter. The girls, who are 13 and 14, used an entire box of pills, the affidavit says.
Mary Adley, the principal of the school, called police on April 24 after hearing two girls talking about the incident.
Maine State Police Lt. Dale Lancaster said that the girls were not facing criminal charges. The affidavit said all three girls were suspended by school officials.
But Hunt's involvement could not be overlooked, Lancaster said.
"If you assist children with perpetrating these kinds of crimes, you will be charged," he said.

Bush makes me laugh!!
To quote Larry The Cable Guy "I don't care who you are, thats funny right there!!"
Bush in 'chipper' mood at reporters' dinner
President jokes that he was lucky to survive White House shakeup
WASHINGTON (AP story) - It was twice the fun for members of the White House Correspondents' Association and guests Saturday night when President Bush and a look-alike, sound-alike sidekick poked fun at the president and fellow politicians.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I feel chipper tonight. I survived the White House shake-up," the president said.
But impersonator Steve Bridges stole many of the best lines. Vice President Dick Cheney and his hunting accident were targets of his humor on a couple of occasions.
"Speaking of suspects, where is the great white hunter?" Bridges said, later adding, "He shot the only trial lawyer in the country who supports me."
Bush continued a tradition begun by President Coolidge in attending the correspondents' dinner.
Bush's alter-ego gets last word
He invited Bridges to play his double. The president talked to the press in polite, friendly terms. Bridges told them what the president was really thinking.
Bridges opened like this: "The media really ticks me off, the way they try to embarrass me by not editing what I say. Well, let's get things going, or I'll never get to bed."
"I'm absolutely delighted to be here, as is (wife) Laura," Bush replied.
"She's hot," Bridges quipped.
The featured entertainer was Stephen Colbert, whose Comedy Central show "The Colbert Report" often lampoons the Washington establishment.
"I believe that the government that governs best is a government that governs least, and by these standards we have set up a fabulous government in Iraq," Colbert said in a typical zinger.
He also paid mock tribute to Bush as a man who "believes Wednesday what he believed Monday, despite what happened Tuesday."

Wanna eat out?
1st Chi-Chi's and now the Pink Taco?? I hope this place gets franchised, cause I will eat here EVERY DAY!!!!!!
Suggestive name puts eatery, city at odds
The Arizona Republic
In a city aspiring to be defined by its good taste, a new Mexican restaurant, the Pink Taco, is opening with a name that some find offensive.
Scottsdale Mayor Mary Manross was so put off by the name, a slang term for vagina, that she asked its owner to change it.
"I don't appreciate anything t
hat offends more than half the population," Manross said. "But he said no and heard my concern. I really didn't want to see a business with that name opening anywhere here."
Sounding more strip club than cantina, the restaurant isn't coy about the double entendre.
"(The name) came out of a dish (that's on the menu), but it's tongue-in-cheek. It was amusing, catchy," Pink Taco CEO Harry Morton said. "You've got to stand out from the rest of the crowd."
The Scottsdale City Council will consider the Pink Taco's application for a liquor license May 15 and will vote whether to recommend that the state liquor board approve the license. No letters of opposition have been filed with the city so far, but Pink Taco management is nervous about the name controversy because the restaurant won't open without that license.
The original Pink Taco is inside Morton's family-owned Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas, where they serve strong margaritas and upscale food with sides of loud rock, Mexican art and "East LA" bric-a-brac, i.e. low-rider bicycles and license plates.
"I haven't had a single flap since the restaurant opened - in 6 years," Morton said.
Scottsdale is first in a planned expansion to other "AAA+ locations in A+ markets," he said.
The Pink Taco is slated to open in June on the corner of Scottsdale and Camelback roads in the $250 million Scottsdale Waterfront.
The restaurant will be next to the elegant Wildfish Seafood Grille and boutiques where blouses sell for as much as the payment on a Lexus. Nearby condos under construction will cost as much as $4 million.
And the name does offend some.
"It's degrading to women. It sounds like a sexual slur," said Dorina Wilson, 40, of Phoenix, a mom who shops in the area regularly.
Dawn Staples-Kerr, 39, of Scottsdale, agreed.
"I don't think we'd even go to lunch there. It's already been a talking topic," she said. "We were like, 'Can you believe they're going to open something with that name here?' "
Moments later, Staples-Kerr explained the phrase to a friend who's 44. Giggling ensued.
David Roderique, the economic-vitality director for Scottsdale, also giggled when asked about the restaurant. Then he regained his composure.
"While there may be some people who have concerns about the name of the restaurant, we've got a younger crowd who appreciates more diversity and finding ways to slap the establishment," he said.
The leasing agents in charge of the Waterfront's retail space knew the name had baggage, but it didn't matter in the face of the hipster cachet the Pink Taco would bring, said
LeDonna Spongberg, vice president of leasing at the Phoenix-based Corritore Co.
"We knew who they were, and we liked them; they bring a really high energy to the project," she said.
Future condo tenants haven't been turned off by the name, said Jeff Roberts, vice president of real estate development with Opus West, the Waterfront condo developer.
Rick Kidder, president of the Scottsdale Area Chamber of Commerce, wonders if people aren't upset because the name goes over their heads.
"I've seen the Blue Burrito, and I thought, 'Oh, Pink Taco. OK.' " he said. "Somebody had to explain it to me. I just didn't get it."
