      I’m pretty sure I didn’t come in a box.

      I came in a wrapper.

    I’m more interested in the “contact me about similar items” bit. What, does he have a hamburger box with a hamburger in it somewhere in his attic?

    … I don’t think I’d trust an attic-hamburger, actually. Maybe it’s best that I never find out whether such a thing exists.

          he was made in the Taco Box.

          Oh my, Heddon, Bomber, Lazy Ike (not a slothful monk), Arbogast and Hulupoppers references now abound in the mush which fills my noggin.

          But, that will also be due to finding paint from one lure transposed upon another, and the season-starting mush of jelly worms and other soft items having melded in the more obscure corners of one’s tacklebox.

          Which rather colors my mental images of the taquito . . .

          They met in old El Paso, at a place with salsa dancing, and when he saucily took her in his arms and did his cheesy dip, she really rang Taco’s bell. He had many nachos in his belt, but this was different… amor at first sight…

          … but now, after many years of marriage, he’s a mere shell of a man.

          Well, we here at the Unblubler School didn’t know what she meant either! And we’re still not sure! So we’ve developed a spelling curriculum* that emphasizes creativity* and serendipity* over pesky things like what words sound like, or mean. Your child will be trained to put letters where he damn well pleases – because after all, in this day and age isn’t he going to rely on spell check anyway?

        They usually smell like plastic fishing worms and that stuff you put on them to trick fish into thinking they are real worms. I bought a nice little all-aluminum box at a yard sale to keep my art supplies in and a bottle of that stuff had been spilled on the top tiers, melting the plastic and making it ever so much fun to clean out.

        Should a gnish box be bedazzeled with blini?
        Or would gold chain accessories be gauche?

    I’ve spent years looking for the perfect box for tacos! The bottom area holds the shells and the different compartment layers sort out the meats, cheeses, and vegetables!

    Only $15 and it already has some taco? Score!

    Wow, a Taco Box! Just what I’ve always wanted! See all the little compartments up top, perfect for storage of toppings and a menagerie of sauces! And in the bottom… perfect for tortillas, and various forms of vegetables, as well as the occasional kidnappings of notable YSaCers! What a steal at only $15.00! And similar items, too? Could it be… the Burrito Bag of Wonders I’ve been searching for?

    They called me crazy, but I knew it was real…

    Ok, this is maing my brain spin (even more than normal, and to the extent that mush revolves freely). This will wander now, corey-like.

    So, taco box + fishing scans to Tako, which makes this a specialized octopod fishing accessory (which is no great calimari, unless one ika the breading and all).

    Then, I’m sounding this out in my head, vice all the fisher-folk I know, and drawing a clean blank for what regional accent that could be. Which then leads my poor brain to more specific nautical usage.

    If one assembles line and framed pulley sheaves, one is said to assemble a tackle, which, by custom is pronounced TAKE-ul. Those framed sheaves are known as blocks, which is where the term-of-art “block and tackle” comes from.

    Now, in my off-road days, I had a TAKE-ul box, which was a wooden crate containing a mix of luff and gun tackle, along with line and chain straps, and dare I say it, snatch blocks (an ordinary block with either an open, or an open-able, side). All to the end of being able to un-stuck vehicles.

    Ah, life, almost as good at mixing metaphors as CL (or is that snark simile?)

    The amount of double entendres applicable to this entry that have already been featured in comments, coupled with my own relative tardiness in commenting, leave me uncharacteristically flummoxed.

      Thanks, Corey. I think that the spelling may be intended to help casual readers to discern that this facetious offer is not an actual Ronco product.
      Or, they may not actually care. It made the “You Don’t Suck at Commenting” box, which is this site’s highest approbation, so clearly the Llamanun and Ostrimu aren’t fussed.
