Angie Gallant:

He likes to be wrapped around meat.

This is where I’d make a joke that included the phrase “beef curtains” if I still had an immature online identity.

Tortilla:

The lack of funny was part of the reasoning, but mostly it’s because good fresh corn tortillas are one of my favorite foods.

So I need to change mine to BBQ Beef. Hmmmm…

I used to work across from Casa de Oro on J street in Omaha and every morning you’d drive in and would smell the freshly baked tortillas.

It was wretched. I love a tortilla as much as the next fajita fan, but god that smell got old fast.

Admittedly, the Kellog’s factory was right near there too, so it’s possible that the smell of fresh baked Corn Flakes was adding to the melange.

I manage a Mexican restaurant at night, and though I can vouch for the delicious flavor of a fresh tortilla, the stink that permeates my clothes I could do without :(

There used to be a Mrs. Baird’s factory near my grandmother’s house and when the wind was right, everything smelled like heaven. We were all sad when it closed.

You guys are being way too friendly in a thread that is supposed to be a den of vitriol wrapped in a tortilla.

Pogo · 2010-09-27T10:41:26.000Z

Mmmm… tortilla-wrapped vitriol. My favorite.

That would be an enchilada.

Tortilla:

On the flipside, nobody can pronounce it and I’ve started getting confused with the rest of the QT3 k-name contingent so it was time to move on. Tom was nice enough to help me out with a name switch, so now it’s Tortilla time.

So you’re too good for the K-name contingent eh? Well, no one likes stupid tortillas anyway.

It wasn’t anything personal Callie. You are the best!

I’m trying to think of some joke to make, like about how fragile tortillas are or how he likes being dipped in salsa, but nothing’s working. Anyone got anything good?

Your Mother told me he comes in hard and soft varieties.

Bahimiron:

Of the many ways in which the peoples of QT3 impugn the intellect of one another, I have to admit that I was surprised to discover that the word ‘dumb’ was considered among the worst.

Though perhaps it was less about the ammunition and more about the target.

Or perhaps impugning the intellects of others is a tactic best left to middle schoolers? This board used to be above that kind of stuff.

The forum wars metagame sucks.

Denny, people have accused me of having rose colored glasses lately, but c’mon - this board was NEVER above people impugning the intellect of others.

Yeah, no kidding. One of the things that attracted me (and plenty others) to QT3 in the first place was simply that the quality of insults was much higher here than anywhere else on the internet.

No complex reasons in play here. Let’s face it, Kraaze was a stupid handle…

Thus Tortilla? DOES NOT COMPUTE.

You have impugned my tactics, sir. This cannot stand. I challenge you to a gentleman’s duel.

I picture Denny living, isolated, in a tiny shack in the middle of nowhere only opening his door to yell at people that things used to be better before two of his walls fell down.

heh. This mental image fits his posts perfectly. However, there is one detail my mind is having trouble resolving: why is he opening the door to yell when his house only has 2 walls? We can hear him (and see him) just fine with the door shut.

I guess that’s the magic of the crazy hermit in the middle of nowhere.

You’ve never had a good fresh tortilla, have you? :)

ElGuapo · 2010-09-27T12:26:51.000Z

Tortilla is such a stupid forum name it kind of makes fun of itself already. Do you have to pay $10 to change your name, like on XBox Live?
