Nacho Thursdays - Nacho Resolutions for 2010

 

This year we resolve, nacho-wise:

...to refer to time spent eating nachos with the guys as "nach-bros time."

...to photograph every plate of restaurant nachos with my iPhone, then post it on TwitPic, Tumblr, and Facebook.

...to finish our screenplay for "N.A.C.H.O. Justice."

Nacho Thursdays: Top 3 Least Popular Taco Bell Nachos of the '00s, Brought to You By Del Taco

  

When Americans look back at the decade called the "Aughts," they will ask: "Why 'Aughts?' Didn't we spend the past ten years calling them 'The Ohs,' as in 'oh-four?'" Then Americans will think about Christmas because it's that time of the year. Most of all, they will never forget the tragedies of the past ten years: special promotional nachos from Taco Bell.


We count down the three worst Taco Bell nachos disasters of the '00s. Brought to you by Del Taco

 

More 20th Century Innovations Today: Wristwatches, Car Lighters, and Liquid Paper

 Our weekly explanation of things from last century. 


Facebook privacy? Punching women on MTV? It's Pikachu Goddamnit? That is so today, and uninspiring. It's not as innovative as the 20th Century. That century brought us so much: the Internet, the 21st Century, and so much more. This week, we cheer the yesteryear, with these now-pointless innovations.

Fear bread pudding no longer, with one can of nacho cheese and our exclusive recipe, after the jump:

Greenland, still the most popular European destination among misguided stoners, gained self-rule last Sunday after 288 years of Danish rule.

How to Eat Nachos Without Contracting Swine Flu

Freedom Haters Is Pleased To Announce Our Regular New Thursday Feature: Nacho Thursdays!

It takes a community to eat a plate of nachos. But with community comes swine flu. Just because we're all gonna die, though, doesn't mean we can't be civilized. Dinning with family and friends reinforces human bonding, and sharing plates of nachos reinforces nacho bonding. However, in recent weeks, an alarming epiphany dawned on nacho-eaters and non-nacho-eaters alike: we're all going to die from swine flu. Is this realization precseient or merely hyperbolic paranoia designed to sell nacho columns? 

Play smart when eating nachos. Avoid swine flu symptons when eating nachos. The three symtoms of swine flu are: vomiting, unrelated to nachos; diarrhea, unrelated to nachos; death. 

Here's how to eat nachos and not get sick, from the flu this time:

  

Ask Doctor Nachos

 

 

Don't let anything stop you from achieving your dreams, especially when there's something wrong with your plate of nachos. Doctor Nachos can help. He's a doctor, and his last name is Nachos. 

Dear Doctor Nachos, 

I am a 14-year-old college student achieving my dreams. However, my plate of nachos has too much sour cream on it. Help, Doctor! 

Signed, 

14-Year-Old College Student 

Dear Stu, 

Like the popular song goes, "Don't ruin your dreams, With too much sour creams." Simply scoop unwelcome sour cream with an available dry tortilla chip, and either throw it away or eat it.
