The original poll was under the thread created by Evil Dave. One of the responses to the poll was, "You're lucky, Evil Dave."
No Planet X option? No wonder I didnt' participate in it.

Needs chocolate. And bacon, if you swing that way.

There was an Planet X option. I just don't recall what it was.
(Something about the contents of said taco, but not worth repeating.)

Better yet, wrap the entire thing in soft dough and deep fry the entire thing. Then cover it in powdered sugar with a side of raspberry for dipping.
The Monte Cris-Taco.

well, since the new server is super-powerful, I did some SQL queries to see if I could find the original poll for this thread, based on the hints people have remembered. Sadly, I think it has indeed been overwritten.
For those of you who don't remember the poll bug, we had a problem with the auto-increment key column of the poll table, such that it got set backwards somehow at some point, and for a while, new polls were being created with recycled "unique" IDs. Once this happened, certain other actions could cause one of the two rows with shared (non-)unique IDs to go away, or get updated with the wrong content.

Excuse me, have any of you heard the Gospel of the Baco (http://bacontoday.com/bacon-shell-tacos-aka-bacos/)?

Even if there was, there's no soda to wash it down with.

I know where there's a Soda Machine©, but you'll likely be disappointed....

A question for the devout:
Last night we had Taco Salad. Made with turkey. It was good.
Sacrament or sacrebleu?

Took you long enough!
From now one, whenever I think of you, I shall envision you eating spotted dick (wishing it was a taco) and sitting cross-legged on the floor in front of a huge (and quite possibly empty) soda machine.

Sacrilege, actually.
Taco Salad is not Taco. It is salad.
Turkey? Meh.

TLOP makes HUMANS makes TACOS
Had to Google TLOPS and the first hit was for "Terminal Lack of Pussy" (slang for kitty cat in case it's censored). So in this instance, nothing could be farther from the truth.

Us oldtimers remember TLOP (pronounced tea-lop) as "The Laws Of Physics" from the frist and greatest troll of the JREF forums, Franko. Alas, most of his silliness was lost in The Great Purge and shall never be seen again.

Yes, Alas!
Never in the history of internet forums have so many argued so long about arguing so much.

I think it would be nice to be able to send people back to see what a real troll was like. Someone who had a point and could defend it no matter how stupid it was.

Alas, that honor probably belongs to Ghengis Pwn (sp?), creator of sock puppets, poster of kiddie porn. May he rot in whatever prison they will eventually throw him in (assuming he isn't there already).

I thought Ghengis was after Franko. Maybe even after Jedi Knight was banned.
And I found a thread about Franko.

More than 11 pages.
And there are more out there.
When was Franko ever wrong?

Oh, maybe. He was certainly a bigger troll than Franko.
Dredging through old threads, I think AForce1 came before all of 'em.

Gengis' troll-fu was that of an 11 year old having a tantrum. Franko seemed to have a point. It was a stupid point, but a point none the less.

Oh my... I found the list thread:

I was a member of the "The Legion of Darkness – the Damned", but under an old name.
I do have to admit, though, it doesn't seem as much fun as it did back then. The threads I've found have been much more about Franko than any debate. And people should bear in mind that 22 page threads were rare back then!

While, as Roadtoad pointed out, it's more a salad than a taco, at least it's kosher...
Made with turkey.
Sacrelige!!!
It was good.
Burn the heretic!!!

Somewhere there is a reading from the Ancient Taco Recipe that explains that one does not have to eat Tacos at every meal, one simply has to recognize the Taco nature of all foods and hold the Taco in your heart as you eat.

I made tacos for dinner last night. And just had leftovers for lunch. Yum! :)
I must admit I'm not real creative, low sodium OEP seasoning with just a pinch of their hot and spicy mixed in with ground beef.

last night, we had gyros, more commonly known as "Greek tacos"

Yee-ros are delicious. Spiced lamb, sliced thin, in pita bread, cucumber dressing, tomatoes, other stuff...omg, so good. But no feta. Not fond of goat cheese.

Envelope seasonings are fine, next time try adding some chopped onion and peppers while you are grilling your beef.

cucumber dressing
It's called tzatziki

And it's called gyros. It's still a greek taco with cucumber dressing. ;)
