Taco Bell in Space
FOUND by Thomas in Union, New Jersey
Found outside a coffee house. I'm assuming they were referring to the Taco Bell down on Morris Avenue. Plz.
Schneh
Just a heads up, Found guys, but there seems to be somethin' highly screwy goin' on with the forward and back buttons.

and here I always thought starbucks would be the first chain to open a store in space.

although it's a simple little sketch, the quality of the writing and style of the picture make me think the artist is probably pretty talented.

this is the second taco themed sketch Found has had lately, I like them both. and now I want some tacos.

Taco Bell moves fairly quickly through me here on earth, but that may be due to the gravitational pull.

Is the speed of deliciousness a constant or variable ? just wondering, I'm a numbers guy.

I recommend a superb song by Electric Six called Fire. It also references this establishment in a somewhat amusing way. TY

It looks (from the speed lines) like deliciousness moves pretty fast. I thought it moved slowly because the savouring action slows it down. Sort of like friction ... only with more saliva.

I know that doesn't answer your question re constant or variable @derek. I'm a words girl.

This is easy. As we all know, e=mc2 where e = energy, m = mass and c = the speed of light.
Now let's adapt this for deliciousness:
d=mt2
where d = deliciousness, m= meals and t = tacos
As you can see, the speed of deliciousness is highly dependent on the amount of meals served and tacos prepared. It is, therefore, a variable and will vary significantly. It should be recalculated on a daily basis.

LASH eating an Enchilada...

I will eat Taco Bell...once a year. So, this drawing and statement aren't true to me.
Maybe, unless...Tace Bell runs for the Border and catches the Shuttle to Space...and stays there!

I'm having a hard time deciding the funniest comment on this thread. Gloria, Derek, Jan, man behind the curtain, and Doctor Jones all made me laugh today. 5 out of 11 comments has to be a record for the highest Coefficient of Mt Dew sprayed out of my nose.

@ Doctor Jones: I think you need to add something to your equation, but I'm not sure what it is. I think you need to divide mt2 by some variable representing the nasty choices available. If Taco Bell serves a lot of meals and a lot of tacos, but they also serve a lot of nastiness, d would be lower. More research required, but a promising start.

So it's actually Taco Bell that's the Restaurant at the End of the Universe.

I am rather disappointed, to be honest.
+ October 21, 2008 03:51 AM +
The first Indy
I dont know about that Doctor Jones. Surely, the higher the number of tacos (squared no less), the lessening of the deliciousness? Perhaps there it is an inverse relationship?
(one or two tacos, s'bout right, any more, and ugh.)

Granted this is all very inductive science.

Not so much "Hello Tacos!" as "Goodbye, Tacos!" Looks like they decided to get closer to that toothy smiling sun.

Did the Taco Aliens abduct the cat to act as manager? Maybe that is why he was so happy!

Gloria, I think it's actually across from the McDonald's! I saw it with my own eyes on the internet. So you know it's true :)

Come to think of it, a burrito would be the perfect thing to eat in space. It's all compact and tube-like.

I like how all the space hedgehogs are converging for lunch. I bet they all gather at the Taco Bell in space for their secret, space hedgehogs' meeting every month.

@ Hiplainsdrifter: Dude, that was funny. I'm debating whether I'd prefer the speed of deliciousness be really fast or really slow. More specifically, my colon is unsure.

wow. now i am afraid that if i go to taco bell, when i leave, i'll step off into the nothingness of space. of course maybe that's better than stepping off into the special somethingness of the little girls room.

I like how the artist very carefully signed the drawing by writing the letters MEMO up in the corner with a different color ink.

What?

It's not the artist's name?

It stands for "Meat-Eating Martians Organization"?? C'mon, you're kidding, right?

Lol@Joh(n): I think you're onto something there. It would be way too obvious if those hedgehogs had their secret space meetings at Sonic America's Drive-In (is Sonic nation-wide?)

Does anyone remember Space Food Sticks? They were introduced in the 60s around the same time as Tang.

@Night: I remember space food sticks! As I recall they were awful. My mom packed one in my school lunch every day, along with a small container of Tang powder which I mixed with water from the drinking fountain. Thanks for the flashback!

Grumpy in the afternoon
Yes, Night in gale, I remember Space Food Sticks. The peanut butter one was the only one that was edible. The rest tasted like tootsie turds left in the cat box. :P

And what about those powdered drink mixes? Goofy Grape is the only name that comes to mind, but the rest of the flavors had mentally challenged fruit on the label, too.
+ October 21, 2008 02:25 PM +
Night in gale, in more flashbacks
@Grumpy: I couldn't remember the drink mix exactly, but Goofy Grape was ringing a bell, so I googled.

They were just like Kool-aid, made by Pillsbury, called Funny Face Packs. Flavors included Jolly Olly Orange, Rootin'Tooton Raspberry, and the oh-so-unPC Injun Orange and Chinese Cherry.

This link will show you the funny faces:

@Joh(n): those Space Food Sticks were really bad, but if they were good enough for the astronauts, what the heck, right? haha! I have a very funny visual of you in your school lunchroom. What kind of lunch box did you have and what kind of cup did you mix your Tang in? There were no water bottles in those days....

I had to buy my milk at school. 3 cents for a half-pint wax box that opened on the top corner and loose wax fell into the hole floating atop my chocolate milk. Gross.

Taco Bell is a restaurant like NASCAR is a sport; a Chihuahua is a dog or Zima is an alcoholic drink- it looks like (the proverbial) duck and walks like a duck so we call it a duck or a restaurant or a sport or a dog but really it's something else altogether... (mainly a chance to spend some quality time with the nearest toilet).

lady and the goose in visible
I think the funniest part is that not only the building is flying through space... so is the lawn/concrete in front of the building, thin and delicate but speeding through the universe while dodging numerous hedgehogs/stars. I'm trying to imagine what the drive-thru of such a Taco Bell location would be like.

Eating real food in the safety of Earth's atmosphere
Odd. All of the Taco Bells I've eaten at have moved at the speed of dependable, carefully-analyzed, dreary mediocrity.

I haven't had a space-food stick in 35 years, but the mere mention of them brings back all the horror of those hideously fecal-looking extruded monstrosities.

Not a food snob
1) Those of you that are too good for Taco Bell are food snobs. Get over yourselves.

2) I like how the artist even got the detail of the arched windows. Without the sign I may have guessed this was a Taco Bell.

Pastor Z in in his late 40s looking back on the late '60s
@ Night in gale:

My sisters and I used to love the Funny Face drinks. Injun Orange and Chinese Cherry were the original flavors but were changed: the orange, as I recall from the TV commercials, had a headband and feather, war paint, and said "Ugh" and "How" a lot; and the cherry had slanted eyes, black pigtails, a big toothy smile and one of those stereotyped Chinese hats. I assume Pillsbury received complaints about being racially insensitive (even though that's not something you heard a lot about back then), and thus was born Jolly Olly Orange and Choo Choo Cherry.

It frightens me to think of what all I can remember from my childhood... but don't ask me where I left my car keys.

Hate Taco Bell and Don't Care for in and Out Burger Either
but I do like Del Taco and other fast food restaurants... So no snobbery... just a matter of individual taste... or lack thereof!

(Sorry couldn't resist that last bit...)

I fully endorse the right of all people to express their Freedom of Fast Food.

I'm a little loopy, and I approve of this message.

I'm proud to be a food snob. I figure, with all the junk I've consumed in my youth, I've earned the right to a refined palate. That's half the fun of growing up.

secret hedgehog in vader
Me and my hedgehog compatriots were indeed going to meet at the Taco Bell, but as you can see by this improvised sketch that the speed at which this haven of tastiness was travelling was simply too fast to catch after being catapulted around the sun. The aft portion of this delicatessen is morphing and elongating from the strain of gravity, as you can clearly see so we went to Chik Fil' A instead.
