The difference in their shoulders, though

Curioser and curiouser. suggest SEC filings

Oh yeah -- this is my job, I was elbows-deep in a DEF14A filing when I posted :D They are a totally legit and innocent company (I mean, as innocent as big pharma ever gets). I was just amused. :D

The information about the marine splicing project isn't publicly available. How did you get this?

I PLEAD THE FIFTH! THE TRUTH IS OUT THERE!

So sorry you are having to deal with this. Hope you feel better soon. I dunno if this is relevant, but is it possible something you normally eat has had an undeclared allergens recall or anything like that? (Like a couple of Clif bar varieties did recently..)

I mean, I suppose my peanut allergy could have kicked into really high gear, but usually that form of allergy is inflammatory, not...flatulent. :D

Rice that you yourself made, or that you purchased already cooked? Because sometimes places put oil in the cooking water, and that can totally screw me over allergy-wise.

HOLY SHIT YOU GUYS REALLY CAME OUT FOR BAG NACHOS

No. This is… Wrong.

This is technically your fault.

The food trucks up here ALL sell Taco in a Bag.  I’d never heard of it before, but it’s really, really popular.

Did you hear that, Sci? The food trucks sell it. The food trucks.

I have to admit I’ve never actually seen it sold anywhere, like, I’ve only seen it done whilst camping/roadtripping. So that’s an interesting regional variation.

Sam! You’re from here, how have you never had Frito Pie?

I don’t eat fritos! And technically I’m not from Texas :D I did most of my growing-up in California, my folks moved to Texas after I left for college. 

I mean I’ve seen Frito Pie, but I always assumed that was something served to you in a paper boat from Sonic.

i have never heard of this before but i will be a hero for introducing it to my family thank you

I want a full report :D

It’s interesting, you can kind of tell the non-Statesiders by their horrified reactions, except the Canadians (Kamaete I don’t know if you’re Canadian, you just had a good segue) who all want to put it in their faces immediately.

Which actually makes sense, it’s like Poutine’s trashiest cousin.

Scouts Canada (BC) here and we’ve done taco in a bag. We do it backwards by giving them a bag of salad & then adding taco meat, cheese, sauce,   tortilla chips & other veggies. Way to sneak in more veggies as they’re limited in space for the add-ins.

That is devious and evil.

onlylonelyglory replied to your post: Informal Survey

Huh. Now that you described it I do know what that is, but I feel like no one ever uses the same term twice so I have to have it explained to me everytime. Also scouting makes me imagine Bucky eating bag nachos while surveilling a a HYDRA base.

YES. Sam must have introduced him to it. Probably he introduced Steve to it too, so he’s like, sitting there with two super soldiers, and all you can hear is crunching and the crinkle of mylar bags.

They’re call frito boats! Have you heard of/seen a baked potato bar? I had a coworker who loved frito boats so much, the chef of the restaurant we all worked at made a frito boat bar for her 30th birthday, complete with all possible trimmings.

I don’t have a witty response for this, I just think it’s fucking delightful :D

tiny-olive:

I have absolutely never heard of this. How would this work? Is the chili hot? Do you melt the cheese? Is it safe to put hot things in a plastic bag??

I’m from Washington and I have many questions about this.

It’s okay to put hot stuff in chip bags as long as it’s not SUPER SMOKIN’ HOT, I think. But my best answer is that apparently you need to visit Santa Fe:

lacylu42:

That’s Frito Pie, and theoretically it was invented at the Five and Dime in Santa Fe, New Mexico.  The New Mexico version is usually a bag of Fritos, pinto beans, red chile, sometimes meat, and then toppings like cheese and onions. And you can still get it at the Five and Dime. And lo, it is delicious.

Can any mortal truly lay claim to the genius of the chili-on-chips-in-a-bag, though?

Tacos In A Bag, yes.

HOW DARE YOU.
