Cheech and Chong were awarded the first Bronze Taco award on July 24th, 1984...
First one has to know who Cheech and Chong are...if you find yourself among the morons who haven't any clue as to who these two gentleman are...get out of the house more often...the only acceptable excuse for not knowing who these two people are is that you were suffering from a drug induced coma by the time they came on the scene...Cheech and Chong were a very popular comedy duo in the 70's and 80's who promoted the use of marijuana...buncha damn heathens anyway...I'd be surprised if either one of them remember 1984...let alone receiving an award...there doesn't seem to be any available information on what an actual Bronze Taco Award is...except for it's inclusion in this tidbit...I spent as much time as I'm going to trying to find related material...so if you're not overly busy during an upcoming work day...knock yourself out...as far as I can tell it was probably an award made up specifically for these two Mexican-American stoners who doubled as comedians...Cheech and Chong have revived their comedy duo endeavors and are scheduled to release another full length feature film in the near future...how these two ended up with a 'bronze taco award'...and for what reason remains a mystery...at least as far as I'm concerned...cuz it really isn't significant...bronze awards are generally given to individuals or teams that come in 3rd place for an event...or are 3rd in the voting sponsored by others...keeping that information in mind...in conjunction with the fact that these two seemed to smoke an enormous amount of marijuana in their films...given that information...I might know a few people deserving of a Silver Taco award...and a few people who obviously are front runners for the coveted Gold Taco award in their futures...several states have legalized the use of medicinal marijuana...while others remain staunchly opposed to it's legalization in any form...and to those states I say BOLLOCKS...get with the times...alcohol has no medicinal qualities...okay sure...it can dull the pain of removing a bullet in old western movies...and I suppose it does have sterilizing effects on open wounds...if you can withstand the pain of pouring this liquid into an open wound...but aside from that the only award one has the opportunity to receive while abusing alcohol is a wrecked vehicle and possibly a wooden coffin...significantly less appealing than a Bronze Taco...Cheech and Chong were not advocates of the medicinal qualities of marijuana in their feature length films...resorting to showing what the recreational effects are more commonly associated with inducing...if you've NEVER seen one of their films...don't fret...they haven't seen any of your home videos either...but you might want to take a gander at what some of these films entail...prior to making your own personal views on the subject known...the government in this country doesn't see the benefits of marijuana as a medicinal supplement...or as a money making endeavor by allowing for it's recreational use...marijuana users don't seem to have enough life threatening accidents while driving...nor do they tend to break enough laws in support of their habit...this could have a direct impact on several government supported agencies if it were legalized across the board...we wouldn't need as many law enforcement employees...court rooms would be less crowded...and several prisons would sit empty and face possible closing procedures...and that doesn't sit well with the people who want to spend your hard earned money on creating new super prison facilities in order to contain these violent criminals...whose only mistake seems to be trying to locate a fast food restaurant that remains open late enough for them to find some affordable munchies...think about it...when was the last time you opened the local newspaper and flipped to the Police Blotter section and seen articles like...'Local area police engage in a foot chase of a vehicle being driven by a man suspected of using marijuana. Local law enforcement officials surrounded the vehicle after following it for 2 blocks to the Wendy's fast food drive thru...where they were able to remove the driver from the vehicle before he was involved in an accident with a light post that happened to be placed at the head of a parking space...the driver surrendered without incident while trying to enjoy his Frosty and Fries'...or...'A local area man was found unconscious in his studio apartment from an apparent attempt to smoke himself stupid...first responders noticed the distinct aroma of a hydro strain of killer weed when they entered the apartment...leading them to believe that the individual might have suicidal tendencies...the subject was taken to the local hospital for observation...upon regaining consciousness...the man appeared to be disoriented...unfamiliar with his surroundings...extremely thirsty...and nurses claim he ate his pillow mistaking it for a giant marshmallow'...you don't...because that would blow the governments stance against marijuana out of the water...kinda hard to keep marijuana categorized as a Class 1 narcotic capable of causing death or serious injury...if those who are using it don't actually die...or injure themselves while under the effects of using it...our newspapers and local TV stations are filled with articles and news items that relate stories of the ill effects of alcohol...devastating accidents...police chases...and the destruction of families...yet our prisons are filled with people who's only crime seems to be their never ending quest for their own Bronze Taco Award...and still there appears to be a simple solution to all of these problems...and it resides within the automotive industry...if the government in this country really wants to regulate driving habits of those under the influence of alcohol and drugs...have the auto makers incorporate ideas from one of the oldest known carnival rides in existence...it shouldn't be that difficult for Ford and GM to produce the different models of their respective vehicles in such a way to prevent deadly accidents and mishaps...BUMPER CARS people...that's where its at...put big rubber bouncy bumpers on all the vehicles...or better yet make the whole damn body outta rubber...that way you'll NOT only save lives...but you will have given people like me the necessary means to rid the highways of idiots who would probably drive better all f**ked up...install video cameras in every vehicle and you can do away with Crash Test Dummy procedures as well...I'll upload significant video material daily...I don't know what a Bronze Taco Award signifies...or why it was created...but I personally would rather see people driving down the roads of America holding up Bronze Tacos they won...rather than Brown Bottles they've just bought!!!
