Why in the world does Morrissey have a thigh gap?

Yes, Janet Jackson's had an interesting life.

God I'm gonna miss these.

That's impossible. Alanis hadn't even been born then.

No, you're thinking of Color Me Badd.

I'll concede this argument because I don't care enough to research, but I still doubt you. I DO know enough that corn originated well south of what's now Texas. When that corn was ground and nixtamalized I'd think that it would be paired with meat and many other ingredients immediately.

I disagree with you, but I guess that's because we have different ideas of what a taco is?

No one's calling it a sandwich.

Of course it does. You think you can't use a corn tortilla to spoon up some menudo or carne asada, and then package that for lunch and call that a taco?

None of this explains why you don't consider a taco to be a taco if it's NOT al pastor or de carne asada.

No way. I'm not a historian, but there's no way meat wrapped in a tortilla didn't come into being until Texas existed.

Just to let you know where I'm coming from and where I grew up:

It's not even snobbery, it just doesn't make sense. It's like saying that you can't call it a sandwich unless you use sourdough bread. Or if doesn't have nutella it can't be called a crêpe. Whatever.

So wait (and this is an actual question I don't know the answer to), they didn't make oil from corn or any other vegetable or animal in pre-Columbian America?

So, for example, a taco de pollo asado is not a taco because it doesn't contain beef or pork, or is served without a drink?

Tacos dorados are still tacos. Corn tortillas have been deep fried in oil for as long as they've existed. Meat has been seasoned for as long as there have been spices. This is not some kind of illegitimate food, and they can definitely be described as tacos. More importantly, they often taste good.

I stopped being a real-time viewer by Season 8 or so, but I happened upon a Season 14 Moe-centric episode called "Moe Baby Blues" and it gives his character a surprising amount of depth. The episode had that golden age balance of great jokes and heart. I'd even put it in my top twenty episodes of the entire series.

I don't get this talk about Hulk Hogan's dick being small. Everyone's seen the Gawker clip, right? He had a pretty big erection in the few glimpses they showed. I don't get this meme.

Well, Euro style bidets do have some advantages. They're connected to hot water, so you have temperature control (although the high-end Japanese toilets also have an option to control temperature). Also, they can be used for washing other body parts like your feet or your genitals after coitus. They're basically

You don't use your hands to use the type of bidet that Newman describes. It's hands-free. It's not the kind of bidet you find in Italy or France where you have to use your hands, it's the Japanese style bidet-jet.
