I particularly loved the undercurrent of, "it's not an authentic taco unless you use expensive ingredients."

Whatever. I like the cheap taco.

Recently I made some very tasty tacos with just some beans, jack and chedder cheese, red corn, and tortillas.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

And yet his favorite is from the taco trucks! Which, really, are definitely not from the most expensive ingredients, making it all the more funny.

Yes. Normally this detail would not bother me, but in this article it just grated. "How do you make a great taco at home? Well, first you get it from a taco truck...."

And the turkey! WTF are you talking about, turkey is "traditional"?!

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

All domesticated turkeys are descended from a breed that originated in Mexico. I don't know how much they're actually eaten there, though.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I wonder if the taco is actually pre-Columbian.

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

Tacos and turkeys were brought to Mexico by the same aliens that built the Aztec pyramids....

Why am I not surprised to click through and find a Mark Bittman article on the other side? Oh right, because he's a pompous git whose writing gives me hives.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Happy Birthday, Kat!

Now I want a taco.

I kind of can't believe it's really true about Lance Bass and Reichen from the Amazing Race, but sure enough: [link]

(Maybe I should do some work, huh?)

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman

People should not tell me "you're late" when I come in at 9:45. (I usually get here shortly after 9, honestly. But when I don't? I still work my hours.) Especially if I know these are people who are here at 7 and gone by 3:30. I'll just start telling everyone you leave really early. Bitch.

I know! somebody did that shit to me the other day, the security guard at the gate. It was almost 10, and I waved at him in his little hut, and he opened the door to tell me I was late. I looked at him and said "do you sign my timesheet? are you here when I leave at 7?", with a clear STFU undercurrent.
