So I get that Amber wants to reward herself with tacos, or, at least as much as anyone can get anything that goes through her mind. I get that she drew a taco theme around her donation... thing. I even get her dressing Mab, Abel, and Dan up LIKE tacos. What I don't get is, why is jyjy a burrito?

Because Jy-Jy wouldn't look cute as a taco. He looks much cuter as a burrito.
For further proof, here is a kitten who is a burito (http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e143/J-RasZ/Motivators/Burito.jpg?t=1220326137). See how cute it is?
I see no kitten... O.o
Edit: I revoke my previous statement.
You're reminding me there's a place here in Toronto wif a 'burrito as big as your head'...
Now I want one. :dribble
Don't know if it's still there, but there was a place in San Diego on Rosecrans near the old NTC that served burritos that were easily the size of a standard brick. Had fries in it, too.
My favorite burrito place is just down the street from my parent's house. Damn big things they are too: about the same size as you're describing, DarkAudit. I always get the same kind too... I probably got stuck in a rut at some point. No fries though, but plenty of tortilla chips. The guy who ran the place was this really sweet old man, and his... nephew, I think... runs it now. Still really good.
I thought Jyrras was a soft taco. Of course, I'm puzzled as to why Jy's a soft taco.

No, it looks like he's a burrito: it's kind of hard to make out, but it looks like the tortilla is wrapped completely around him.
Hm... maybe if we attract Amber's attention enough, she'll clear this little matter up in the next news post.
hes a burrito because he is short, if he had the same sized taco costume his head would still be crotch level with everyone else and thus so topheavy he would fall over
Here I always thought it was about the nachos.
Nacho nacho Mab...*hums to himself*
nachos would be a pointy and drippy costume
Jyrras is a burrito because he isnt cool enough to be a taco. :<
That's just going to ruin Jairus's day. :U

I prefer burritos myself: they're much more fun to eat than tacos.
Burritos are plenty cool in their own right, though. In fact I find the cheesy double-beef burritos on Taco Bell's value menu far more filling than any of their similarly-priced tacos. Don't know how that makes them more cool, and now I'm imagining eating a Jyrrito. I need a new mental image.

That's generally the best way to eat soft tacos :)
God, I haven't had tacos in so long... now I gotta get mah parents to make some...
CURSE YOU EVIL TACO DONATION THINGY :<
make them at home, a basic crepe makes a kickin softshell taco for a hot homeade feel
Sadly Tacopalooza may not happen after all. Just got back from the vet and between this bill and the one coming up when I take Monty back in for a checkup, its very likely all the taco money is gonna go into "give the snake medication" bills. :<

Maybe we should start a Tacopalooza drive for Amber.

Yeah. He better be. What is getting me cranky is that it isnt even my snake. I volunteered to snake-sit for a friend for a couple weeks while he dealt with getting kicked out of his place and having to live with his parents (who HAAATE snakes) until he found a new one.
Right now its looking like I may be with this lil guy all fall.(if not indefinately at the rate this is going) Which wouldnt have been so bad if it wasnt for the fact I noticed him having an odd wheeze since I got him and I decided to take him to the vet...which turned out to be a good but expensive idea because they started him on injections to combat a potential pnemonia problem.
But yeah. I have been keeping kind of quiet on this mainly cause it feels really stupid going on the main page saying "hay guys. I just spent $200 on vet bills for a friends pet who may never pay me back. :U"
Its annoying, and I am annoyed, but I would feel much worse had the lil guy gotten bronchitus and died on me.

I would be quite for this. Pending on how much my new t.v. is going to set me back I would be able to donate in the range of $20~100 CAD.
Props for the Jyrrito. The other three were funny and got the point across, but introducing the Jyrrito was a stroke of genius.
"What is a tosta-ta?"
"A tortilla with meat, cheese and vegetables."
"I see ... and what is a ... quesa-dilla?"
"A tortilla with meat, cheese and vegetables."
"Okay ... and what is a ta-co?"
"A tortilla with meat, cheese and vegetables."
"Then what's a-"
"LOOK IT'S ALL THE SAME! Just say a spanish word and we'll bring ya something!"
"Mexican food, seven ingredients served twenty six different ways"
true, the combos change and the way its prepared too, somehow slight alterations really do change the taste.
then again, really how different is all the types of chicken you could get at a KFC?
I never got how Taco's would be a great reward. But, I live in a place where if you throw a rock, it's going to land in a Mexican Restruant. Tacos, Enchiladas, Fajitas, Floutas, Chimichangas, Nachos....they're all about as rare as a glass of ice-water.
Anyways-
I would tell your friend, Amber, that you've been taking the Snake to the vet. Even if he might not reimburse you (witch would be very, very rude), he is more likly to if you tell him the large amount of money you have spent on his animal. It might also remind him that you're taking care of his animal, and speed up the search for a new house.
Burrito/soft taco's are much better than normal crunchy taco's in my opinion, they're far less messy and you can put alot more in them. Sadly, we only have one place in the next city over that makes those foods..
Also, Jy being a burrito/soft taco gives him extra awsome points for having his own style.
And now back to my mountain of nachos with roast beef I just finished making.
As to the snake and takeing it to the vet..
Friend's Snake = Amber's snake
My family has two sayings about money
"Neither a Borrower nor a lender be."
"Never loan Money to a friend, epically if you want them to STAY a friend."
Yikes, between the Snake and the Computer, looks like fate really doen't want you to have those Tacos huh? Maybe you should sell your soul for some :tohell
Understand I say this only as a source of pure information and not as a suggestion of any action or even any opinion of reptiles as a class , honest some of my best . . . well ok I dont really know any reptiles but you know what I am trying to say right? ermm ahh ok back on track now.
In the unfortunate event of your erstwhile friend being unable to repay you a reasonably sized snake would make a rather nifty belt.

Heck, I'd demand the entire menu of Taco Bell. Really, I would.
if you get a cool server at taco bell they will let you invent your own items, theres some true abominations that have spawned from the local one by me. fear the guacamole. however its not as strange as the greek place that used to be here, the owner would take dares as to what food items could be turned into a milkshake, and it became something of a spectator sport to test them.
i am tempted to start some kind of specifically taco cooking based conversation to see if theres a way to provide amber with the ability to cheaply create her own taco stuff

It would seem that training the snake to go through the belt loops might be a problem.

Hey, pretty much any leftover foodstuff not originally intended for a dessert can be folded into a taco shell and become tacoliciousnessosity incarnate. Such is the power of a tortilla in a skillet.
Note: it may require cheese.
Snakes can be very delicate critters, having had to take care of a little rosy boa for a friend, I know first hand. Giving the little gal a shot is quite a bugger, especially for little needle phobe me...

... The snake?
actually it was more along the lines of pineapple and feta cheese milkshakes, of course they BLEND but the real test is if they could be safely ingested without causing some kind of explosive diarrhea, implosive diarrhea, or possibly both
"Hmmm. An implosive, explosive subdermal device."
"Sounds more like biological warfare to me."
Gustav sucked by the way. I would ask Ike to do something rather nasty but it looks like he already has those plans in mind. :[
Oy! Gotta love the forums, best place to catch up on over a week of missed stuff. Although I have to catch up on a weeks worth of internet in about two days.
Works gonna hafta take a hit!
let us make taco milkshakes to compensate for amber and hurricane survivors
I thank that Donation counter. At $100 for... twenty-some comics, we ARE technically paying you for this, so CHOP-CHOP!! (that's a joke. don't go crazy now)
I would suggest to not worry about any of us in hurricane zones. We choose to live near this stuff, insurance has a purpose if it's needed.
And uh, besides, the idea of a taco milkshake makes me cry deep inside. I don't know why, but I am.

I introduce you to my reasoning:
If you live that close to so many Mexican restaurants, you live close to many Mexicans.
If you live that close to so many Mexicans, you live close to Mexico.
If you live that close to Mexico, It's gotta be freaking hot there.
If it's that hot, the ice water must be all melted.
If there isn't much ice water, there must not be many Mexican restaurants... wait, what?
Time to tell the friend to suck it up and come get the snake. Now.
Have someone bigger and not-as-nice there to present said "friend" with the vet bill.
Politeness time is long since over.
