On a marginally related note, on my way out this evening to see "Julie
& Julia", which, BTW, we ended up seeing in a theater about a mile
from where it was both filmed and much of the story takes place, and
about three miles from my home, I happened to pass a Taco Bell poster
that confused me for a few moments.
Apparently there is a product called a Gordita, and this Gordita is
filled (I'm assuming) with chicken and Ranch Dressing, hence the name,
Chicken Ranch Gordita.
Am I mistaken in the belief that once upon a time, the phrase "Chicken
Ranch" referred to a profitable, non-food branch of the hospitality
industry?
Could this be a play on words, or another case of letting ignorant
post-teenagers handle the marketing and write the ad copy?

bellies."
