I didn't. I would have remembered such a unique last name. But West Monroe is big. I remember seeing people at graduation that I had no idea went to school there.



And Taco Bandito is still around and the taco burngers are still the bomb. That's probably the best Mexican fast food place ever.

How can you be from WM and have never eaten at Taco Bandito?

I think someone was talking about Crazy Joe. He used to come up to Popeye's when I worked there in high school and we'd give him whatever was left over at closing. Me and Big Dad saw him one time while in the drive thru at Burger King. Hollered, "What's up Crazy Joe?" To which he replied, "What's up Crazy White Duuuuuudes?"

I don't know. I was just always afraid of what they might serve there.

Also, there was a few years there when I wasn't allowed to cross the river.

Name sounds vaguely familiar. Long-haired fella? Like Carl said, there were tons of people at graduation that I didn't even know I went to school with.
