Gidget the Taco Bell dog has died

Well she lived a long life at least....but it's still sad. :cry:

even the famos dogs dies this year

No, not the Taco Bell dog. I really missed the commercial. I loved the Godzilla one they did to promote the movie.

The world is so hungry for news they announce when a dog dies. Which celebrity animal will die next? Maybe the dog from Air Bud or the chimp from Dunston Checks In.

The original Air Bud died eleven years ago....

I love chihuahuas, RIP.

Indeed. He died of cancer. He was also the dog in Full House.

Jesus Christ the fact anyone knows that or cares just further proves my point. :lol:

So the Taco Bell chihuahua was also a female pretending to be a male too? That explains why, in the original commercial, the dog went past another female dog and wanted Taco Bell instead. :lol:

Anybody besides me remember this female dog pretending to be a male? (And yes, she reportedly even gave birth to puppies at one time):

Lassie was a dude pretending to be a bitch.

Cure!! Language...

Wait....it's not profanity...carry on.

I like the idea of Jester kind of trying to keep us in line sometimes, and then throwing up his arms in frustration whenever we all get out of control.

And in the same vain, I also always picture Krang sitting in that f*cking captain's chair, head in his hands, wondering where he went wrong.

And then I picture Raph's Girl as that one kid in every TV show about a large family. You know, the one who says weird **** and everyone just kind of ignores until their role is simply cut out of the show, because no one cared about the character. Like the youngest daughter on Family Matters. If only we had our own show stealing Urkel, we may have less threads like this.

I guess that would make you Waldo Geraldo Faldo.

There's no overly cynical, self-loathing, lonely prick in Family Matters.

This entire "cast a show based on the Drome" thing intrigues me, though. Someone should get on a thread about that.

That's because they didn't make another season to grasp that character.

And I guarantee that show would debut on Adult Swim.

Uh...what? Waldo is the nicest dumb guy around. Peanut is the smartest asshole ever. I fail to see the comparison.

Wait, there's actually logic in this?

There is. I'm SHOCKED you missed it.

Sorry to disappoint you.

They did that in the case of Lassie because male collies happen to be prettier than females, ironically enough.

Why Spuds and the TBC were females I admit I have no idea.

Actually there were 3 dogs in all... A male named Dinky was originally the main dog...but I guess Gidget was a better actress....Dinky did stick around tho as one of Gidget's stand ins. *lol* The other dog was named Taco.

Wait, there was another dog in the world named Dinky? That was the name of my first dog....

An American legend has died. I'll never be the same.


.....

Me too. I was so sad when I heard. It made me think of my own 12 yr old chi, Cujo. It's all a matter of time :-(

Though I sent a text to my friend and he replied "Not dead. With Elvis and Tupac." YAY!

Tupac walking a chihuahua? Yeah, that's the very essence of Thug Life. :lol:

"Heeeeeere leezard leezard leezard!"

My dad used to collect the stuffed talking chihuahuas that Taco Bell sold during that time. Too bad they've been lost to the winds. I remember he had one that said the lines from the Godzilla commercial.

The 90s were full of win.

I would say 3 years is a long time, my friend. And I'd be interested to see some casting involving something other than the Simpsons. The Technodrome version of Lord of the Rings, perhaps.

I want to be a hobbit, so I won't have to shave my feet.

'My precious...'

I remember a magazine cover from when Mr. T first became a household name, and it showed him posing with several kittens on his shoulders. :)

'I kitty da fool!'

Had to say it.:P

Yeah, I miss Michael Jackson too. Oh wait a minute...

Well, Gidget lived a long life for a dog. I also have the talking Chihuahuas from Taco Bell. I have one that says, "Viva Gordita!" I also have the one that says, "I think I'm in love.' as well as the "Here leezard, leezard."
