I Got Some Projectile Vomiting and Diarrhea for Valentine's Day What did you get?

PS Do not eat the fish taco if it smells AT ALL funny. Not even a bite.

I've never eaten a fish taco. Always seemed like a specious combination. Hope you feel better.

I got weariness and a huge pile of work for Valentine's Day. But my wife did give me a very nice teamug, so it's all good.

Is 'teamug' some new sexual euphemism I haven't heard?

Heh.

dios has food poisoning, too, if it makes you feel any better.

I got receding gums. Sex-ay!

I got The Curse of the Were-Rabbit DVD.

Fish and taco are two words that, to me at least, should not go together. Ever.

Like, I dunno, granny and sex. Or Metallica and Art. You get the idea, I am sure.

aw, fenriq! poorpoorbaby!

For what it's worth, my only food poisoning experience (so exactly precisely what you describe) was also with fish. Beware Poseidon's revenge. (or the fish tacos, or something.)

I got a mild hangover and regrets over some of things I drunkenly committed to last night.

I mean, did I really have to tell a friend that I'd pay for part of her plane fare to Europe? No, no I didn't. What the fuck was I thinking? I mean, sure, it'd be fun, but that shit's expensive!

I wouldn't eat a fish taco EVER. But sorry you feel like crappy poo!

*hands fenriq some Diar-Aid*

Dude, fish tacos are AWESOME. Especially from the Berryhill Tamale Company. Mmmmmm. Damn, now I'm hungry.

At what age will the term "fish taco" no longer make me giggle? God, I'm an 8 year old.

There is nothing worse than digestive distress. Seriously. Hope you're feeling better soon, fenriq.

Some of you may remember the time a couple months ago when I was chatting with you guys on IRC and had to go AFK for a while so I could vomit. That was because of a fish burrito from Taco Del Mar. So you have my sympathy.

I adore fish tacos!

But I only make them myself.

For one thing, good luck finding a fish taco in Greece. Good luck finding any kind of taco in Thessaloniki. For another thing, hey, make-it-myself - I get to look that fish in his clear, dead, unclouded, glassy eye, and know for sure that ain't no elderly pescado I'm going to be scarfing down.

cmonkey, you totally have to bow out of that drunken promise as elegantly (or inelegantly) as possible. For reals. If one of my drunk friends promised me something like that, no way I would expect it to happen. We get drunk. We say things. Later (after somebody finally posts bail), we know it wasn't wise, and we make our apologies.

Fish tacos are soooooo goood!*

*except when they're made with bad fish and get you totally ill. but the rest of the time they kick ass!

My lawyer got conflicted out of a case I've spent five months putting together. Better now than to lose a lawyer when I'm already in court. Geeze!

Do you have any idea how hard it is to get a killer elite attorney to sue the biggest employer in the county?

Sometimes you eat the bear and sometimes the bear eats you.

This dude abides.

I thought that you had to eat the fish taco on Valentine's Day.

I'm sorry dios is feeling the same as I am, nobody should feel like this (especially on an insanely beautiful day).

But I did catch up on my Shield episodes (it was good to see Kavanagh tear up the apartment when Vic beat him) and am now thinking of moving my PS2 down to the big tv with the subwoofer and slaughtering pixels.

The pop tart did not stay down.

But I will eat fish tacos again. I'll just sniff 'em out first.

jrossi4r, nope, part of me giggles when I order them, like I'm being dirty.

I found out that my popularity on Consumating is going down. Boo hiss!

posted by sisterhavana 14 February | 17:09

That sucks, fenriq. I hope you get to feeling better soon!

I've also never had a fish taco. Which, by the way, don't belong together. I don't like fish so I may be a wee bit prejudiced.

The mister and I went out for lunch (Olive Garden) and bought the Mr. and Mrs. Smith dvd. We'll be trading Valentine cards this evening.

"fish taco" is a euphemism?

posted by orthogonality 14 February | 18:17

Yes. It's a euphemism for "vertical bacon sandwich."
