Hello, people… have you been to anywhere on the West Coast or the South West? Taco Trucks are a dime a dozen.

    OMG!!! TACO TRUCK!!! Why did you post this? Did you see one? Where? When?

    I mean…

    I don’t really care or anything. Not really. I mean, it just a taco truck, right? It just would be nice if they had GPS tracking on those things, or something. Just so, you know… you could know where they were and what they were doing at any time you wanted. Like at 3 am. Or… you know, if you wanted a taco or something. Because they are sometimes kinda hard to find, and you look and search and cry and pray to your dead grandmother and um… well, I mean… they’re just tacos right? Pretty cool that they are on the truck though, you’ve gotta admit. Pretty fucking cool, MAN! I wish I could find one right got damn NOW!!! But, its just a taco, I know…

    Still if you happen to see one around, be nice if you emailed me… like… IMMEDIATELY! Cause they are AWESOME in their SPLENDOR and MOBILE TACO DISPENSING ABILITY!!!11! TACO!!!! FroM A TrUCK!!! Aaaauuugghhhh!

    does it play music as it drives along (a’la ice cream trucks)?

    I’m picturing Yo, at 3 am, called, siren-like, running into the street as a carousel’ish version of “La Cucaracha” wafts through Belmont, with a half burned spliff in one corner of his mouth, and a burned out roach in the other…

    Did I say “Yo” and “Belmont”? I, of course, meant “Oy” and “Downtown”

    No, I’m the one spending my evenings trussed up in a Belmont attic, in my “Pulp Fiction Gimp” get-up. They give me a periscope in my box so I can keep an eye on the neighborhood (and the guys in the black panel van). Thank god mom made me take those touch typing lessons (if only she’d ponied up for the psychiatrist, though).

    Did I just write that? This feels like it’s gonna be a weird, weird weekend…

    Why are we obsessed? Because we’re NOT on the West Coast or the Southwest, and dammit, we want tasty burritos brought to us!!!

    I don’t want to be a negative creep, but not only do I not understand people’s inordinately enthusiastic love of the taco truck, but of everything in Charlottesville. If you’ve ever lived or traveled anywhere else, you know that everything here is mediocre at best — except for my job, which is great, so I stay. (also, Shenandoah Joe makes delicious coffee)

    Charlottesville, where people think “tapas” is Esperanto for “good food.”

    legitmate grouse: I finally found that orifice filling add you were asking about the other day. Here’s the link:

    http://www.charlottesvilleisprettyfuckingcooldespitedouchebagswhothinkthinkthey‘rebetterthaneveryonecuzthey’vebeentomaybetwoorthreeothercountries.com

    A lot of us here have been to many nations on this globe(me = 19).

    You can get kick ass food here.

    You can hear/see kick ass music here.

    You can see kick ass theater.

    “…If you’ve ever lived or traveled anywhere else, you know that everything here is mediocre at best…”

    You reek of douche.
