Hell yeah! I still use that line every now & then. Not too many people actually know what I'm talking about, but I still think it's funny.

Makes sense. I forgot they had music acts. That was probably where I saw Squirrel Nut Zipper for the first time.

Did a quich search and found this. I haven't watched it yet. Naturally, the search did turn up a link to petitiononline. There is an official site that says:

STATE DVD *UPDATE* Feb 4, 2005
There is still no release date from MTV Home video for the State DVD collection. All we know is there are many people at MTV, Viacom and other places diligently working every day, trying to cut through the red tape. When we hear ANYTHING we'll post it right here.

And, because anarky loves it so much...http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_State_(TV_series)

Why is "We only came for the Nachos" not jj's Signature Line yet?

Good question. Time to do that up, both here and the other place.

Bravo.

"They only came for the nachos" would make a pretty good tagline for a movie, too.

Yeah, good one RB, I think I'll use that (if ya don't mind) when anyone refers to the new live-action Transformers, maybe that's where jj's inspiration came from subliminally??

I'm just imagining that original teaser trailer with that tagline.

"We were told it crashed. Its final transmission was classified top secret. It was the only warning we would ever receive. They only came for the nachos."

Now I can see Megatron hunkered down scooping cheese onto a chip, shoveling it into his mouth and saying "Damn those are good!" There are tons of soldiers and cops around weapons raised, and he turns and asks if they want any.

"Their war. Our nachos."

"Nachos are the right of all sentient beings."

"Everything is nachos."

"The least likely can eat the most nachos."

"Among the nachos, there is no room for the weak."

"Nachos are made from the ashes of one's enemies."

"Among the mysteries of nachos lie the key to victory."

"Strike first! Strike fast! Strike hard! Then eat some nachos!"

Man, I feel like a certain T-dog from another site.

I can see Davey Crockett as the Mexicans finally enter the gates of the Alamo shrugging in mock disbelief saying, "HEY! HEY! HEY! We only came for the nachos!"

added "Nachos are the right of all sentient beings." to my sig line over there...

Well, I thought it was goofy but I didn't think it would catch on so good-
for sure "Their Nachos. Our World" and "Their war. Our Nachos" both popped into my head as soon as the idea bloomed

Don't sweat the T-man fever- his stuff is all mega tame al the time, here we can stretch out a bit

Comic book movie taglines:

Spiderman - "With great power comes great nachos."

Superman Returns - "This Summer, The World's Greatest Hero Returns...but only for the nachos."

Fantastic Four - "Prepare for the Fantastic nachos"

X-Men - "Trust a few. Fear the rest. Stay for the nachos."

X2: X-Men United - "The time has come for those who are different to eat nachos."

Terminator 2: Judgement Day - "Ten years ago. The machines who rule the future sent an unstoppable Terminator to assassinate the yet unborn John Connor. They failed. In 1991, The machines will try again. But this time, they only came for the nachos."

Why yes, I'm bored.

Well, it's a natural evolution

I can't accurately predict the end of what jjreason has started here
