I love everything related to the Donner party... but I can't still picture those walls -- meets Taco Bell?
Walls in various shades of southwestern brown and queso- cheese colors, with three styles of taco sauce, splattered everywhere.
By the time they got to Taco Bell, they were HONGRY.
"The Donner Party goes to Taco Bell" sounds like revisionist history. Did they go to Taco Bell before or after the cannibalism part? Or instead of?
Ha!
