BOSTON (Reuters) - Many Americans will be wagering on this week's baseball World Series. For Taco Bell, the stakes are a free taco for everyone in the United States.


The fast-food chain on Monday unveiled a promotion it is calling "Steal a Base, Steal a Taco," which will run through the best-of-seven matchup.

"Millions and millions of people will be watching the Series and hopefully tuning in to see when they are going to get their taco," said Taco Bell spokesman Rob Poetsch.

There has been at least one stolen base in every World Series matchup since 1990. When the first base is stolen, the unit of Yum Brands Inc, will announce a Tuesday afternoon when consumers will be able to walk into the chain's participating 5,800 outlets and ask for a free taco. Anyone who walks into a participating outlet during the give-away period would be eligible for a free taco.

Despite the promotion's name, stealing the taco will not be required.

My station was talking about it this morning. The way it's going to work is if there's a steal in game 1 and/or 2, you'll be able to get the free taco between like 2p-5p on Friday. A steal in any of the weekend games you can collect during those hours on either Monday or the travel day.

How does somebody get all the way off the pitch with a base without somebody tackling him?

Creation is pretty demanding. The very act of getting whatever is inside you out changes you. Nobody has to appreciate anything for that to happen.

What baffles me is the unspoken acceptance of the idea that the artist can only interact with others and not with himself. Even if I thought a creation had to be appreciated to be valid (I don't but hey) then so long as the creator appreciated it, job done. The artist before creation and the artist after creation, standing back and looking at his work, are two different people. They have to be.

Should that be the focus of art? I don't know. But it is.

:whistlin:

Just because my non-sequitur has no history on the board and is an inside joke of one does not invalidate it. :p

Yes. It's a big problem. It's why hot dogs cost $3.99.
