Tacos seemed like so much work to me as a kid. Plus the hard shell would break while I was biting it and it'd spill its innards all over or else I'd get taco stuff all over my face.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

The hard shell always put me right off tacos as a kid. Now burritos, I could get down with.

Our wings are not tired.
My boys don't like tacos or spaghetti. They eat about 3 things. Very annoying. I suppose I should have been more of a bitch about it when they are younger. They are eating fewer things than they did just a couple years ago. They don't seem to like things that are combined. They will eat cold cuts and they will eat bread, but not a sandwich. Annoying. I don't know how they got so big with their limited food list.

The trick with hard tacos is to mix cheese, sour cream and/or beans in with the other ingredients to glue everything together and then let it sit in the shell a bit so that it softens.
Or make your own shells so they have just enough give not to shatter.

My trick was once the ingredients were in the taco, I'd snap the taco along the spine so there were two half shells on each side of the filling. You'd still spill stuff, but not nearly as much as if you just bit into it as is.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
My trick was to take over all the cooking on taco night and switch us to soft tacos.
Also, I'm deeply suspicious of this sneaking-in-a-little-sauce manoeuvre.

You only love it because it has been cancelled.
Wait! Maybe the lurve of Buffistas is what kills a show. At some point in the future, a producer will be out scoping the 'Net and discover that Buffistas are into it, and fall weeping to knees: "We are DOOMED!"

I do not understand kvetching about the taco regardless of the hardness or softness of the tortilla, for the mighty taco is clearly the best imaginable food outside of the ineffable burrito.

Well, I am into indie rock.
