Do you bite your thumb at me, sir? (Costa Mesa mix)

[substitute]

There's this Del Taco in Costa Mesa, California at Newport Boulevard and 17th Street. It's open 24 hours a day. It's near a couple of record stores, some bars, and Café Ruba, which is the coffee joint for unhappy teenagers.

So a lot of kids and young adults hang around this Del Taco and raise heck. It used to be a big straightedge hangout. For some reason it's where fights happen in this town.

The drunk bro dudes at shorescrew.com have documented one pretty good Del Taco brawl for us: Del Taco Fight (page with embedded Quicktime video).

It's almost identical to a fight I saw in fourth grade except everyone's in their 20s and a vintage car is vandalized. Special attention to the really cool ape noises the guy in grey makes near the end of the barely visible second half of the battle.

Yes, yes I know. There are plenty of Taco Bells and Taco Times, but neither compares.

We had to make a 40 minute round trip to Vancouver last summer to fulfill a jones for Del Taco.
