Will Kutler Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1506 From: Tucson, AZ, USA Registered: Feb 2001 posted 04-22-2004 12:54 PM                     On the news last night... Not too long ago, the Tucson City Government was making a big stink about regulating roach-coach operators...well now they have reason! I did not catch all of the news story last night, but apparently a Mexican Roach Coach operator tried to dispose of his murder victim by including him in....tamales!  |  IP: Logged Bill Gabel Film God Posts: 3873 From: Technicolor / Postworks NY, USA Registered: Jan 2002 posted 04-22-2004 01:09 PM                     Wasn't that a movie title "Eating Raoul".  |  IP: Logged Juan Urias Film Handler Posts: 22 From: Chicago, IL Registered: Oct 2003 posted 04-22-2004 02:20 PM                     thanks there goes my lunch.is there a link available to read what really happened............  |  IP: Logged Peter Kerchinsky Master Film Handler Posts: 326 From: Seattle, WA, USA Registered: Jan 2002 posted 04-22-2004 07:13 PM                     Ihaven't heard the term "roach coach" for many, many years. Man where they ever nasty. Used to get lunch from one occasionaly while working at a manufacturing plant in Portland, OR. back in th 60s. The 7 day old hot dogs served at the 7-11s today beats anything the roach coaches served.  |  IP: Logged Paul Mayer Oh get out of it Melvin, before it pulls you under!

They kept me in breakfast burritos after Naugle's folded into Del Taco. One of those trucks even specialized in teriyaki bowls! Long lines formed every time that truck showed up at our place, and huge crowds formed for it over at the McDonnell Douglas plant on the other side of Long Beach. All in all quite good. But yeah, I think the term "roach coach" still applies to many of those trucks.  |  IP: Logged
