"Don't let a****les rent space in your head."

from the following article - http://www.informationweek.com/shared/printableArticle.jhtml;jsessionid=Q3KMOTQ1LJVKKQSNDLOSKHSCJUNN2JVN?articleID=199600005

and no, this is not aimed directly at the Metallica thread. But then, my aim isn't that great Wink

Don't read the forums, stay focused on reviews.

Failing that, just be as subtly annoying to those who annoy you.

This thread is now about taco's


Last time I made taco's at around midnight I had quite an unpleasant night....
However, I have a midnight craving and there is taco meat in the fridge.
Should I risk it!?

Crunchy shell or soft shell and what are you going to put in it or are you just going to eat taco meat and how was the taco meat prepared with one of those seasoning packages or just the meat with onions and salt or something  and what meat are we talking about anyway carne asada ground beef chicken gonna have some lettuce cheese sour cream salsa taco sauce?  Taco de lingua?

PA has worked so hard to assemble the most easily offended posters in all of the internets. Why would you ruin all that hard work.

I would say have a sense of humour but I think we all lost ours when Phil Collins went solo

I liked the MonkeySphere article, in fact I love Cracked.com, especially Hate By Numbers, but that's neither here nor there.

I don't take insults personally,  especially on the internet, which helps me to not be annoyed by anyone, and I absolutely refuse to get into a fight over the internet.

I have an off topic question:
Why do Taco Bell tacos taste so much better than mine?

OH SOFT SHELL OF COURSE!
Prepared with ground beef, I was thinking some spicy cheese, and lettuce. Nice and simple.

And Taco Bell is GREAT! I know they probably use Grade F meat but damn its tasty
