I posted this silly video as an inside joke for my daughter, Sarah. I posed in Cleveland eating a taco. For decades, and TOTALLY AS A JOKE, whenever I want to mention a place nobody wants to go, I say “Cleveland”. It goes back to the jokes in the comedy baseball movie Major League and the old Drew Cary TV show. Both are set in Cleveland and make jokes about the city.

The other part of the inside joke is that don’t like to eat hard shell tacos. You bite into them and they crumble and leak all over you. I like the flavor, just not the eating experience.

SO, it became 7 running joke between my daughter and It that the last thing I’d ever want to do is eat a taco in Cleveland.

I personaly have nothing against Cleveland. I enjoyed myself while I was there. I did several other videos in Cleveland when I visited there in 2016. If tacos didn’t crumble, I’ I’d like them too. I eat lots of li burritos.

I never explained what the inside joke was, because it was something only a very few people knew about. It is just me being silly. There are no hidden messages, or anything sexual intended in the video. As Peter Yarrow once told me about his song Puff The Magic Dragon, “It means exactly what it says it S.”

FYl, Cleveland is named after Moses Cleaveland. One story on why the city’s name is spelled without an “1” is because a surveying crew misspelled the name on a map. The other story is the local newspaper deleted a letter in order to fit the name on the top of the newspaper. Thus a joke about a town that couldn’t spell its own name. I did a video on that, too,
