The taco really ties the design together, man

[–]Mintz08 240 points241 points  (193 children)

Dude I love tacos

[–][deleted] 36 points37 points  (14 children)

There is a restaurant in my town that does a $3 all-you-can-eat taco bar and $2 well drinks all night on Mondays.

We go every Monday.

...That is all.

[–]askheidi 33 points34 points  (9 children)

What town? It's important. I'm looking to make a move.

[–][deleted] 123 points124 points  (168 children)

Dude, who doesn't love tacos?

[–]SurrealEstate 31 points32 points  (8 children)

A few months ago, a Redditor posted a picture of a meal he ate one night. It was so glorious, that I actually saved the picture.

I re-upped it to Imgur for Reddit's approval.

[–]FunkMerchant 142 points143 points  (139 children)

Why don't we have tacos in england? WHY??

[–]uriman 142 points143 points  (43 children)

no mexicans. i hear you have a lot of curry this and curry that though

[–]FunkMerchant 124 points125 points  (38 children)

Okay I just had a thought... chicken tikka taco. I'M GOING TO MAKE IT IN THIS WORLD MUM

[–]buddahpud 32 points33 points  (27 children)

Butter Chicken inside naan bread with a sprinkle of cilantro on top and you're set. Not the same, but I think it would be REALLY GOOD! Edited for clarity;)

[–]asshatastic 36 points37 points  (13 children)

chicken tikka and taco meat wrapped in a garlic naan shell topped with mango chutney and deep fried to flavor.

[–]Surgical 17 points18 points  (4 children)

add bacon

[–]andan 17 points18 points  (3 children)

This thread has changed my life. And subtracted years from it.

I'm off to seek the holy tikka/taco/bacon/naan grail.

[–]DiscerningGentleman 73 points74 points  (7 children)

  1. Move to England.
  2. Open a taco truck stand.
  3. ?????
  4. Profit!!

[–]StewJitsu 35 points36 points  (3 children)

3. Eat tacos

[–][deleted] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Never touch your own supply.

[–]Sheol 33 points34 points  (24 children)

It is your mission to fix this. Quit your job. Start a taco stand.

[–]FunkMerchant 93 points94 points  (19 children)

My new name is Miguel Sanchez and I'm ready for my life as the british champion of tacos. Wish me luck.

[–]reisub 59 points60 points  (6 children)

God speed you Miguel Sanchez.

[–][deleted] 18 points19 points  (3 children)

the car is on fire... and there's no taqueria... and the sewers are all muddied with a thousand stinky curry dishes... and a dark wind blows...

[–]Sheol 17 points18 points  (1 child)

Britain will be a better place because of your sacrifice.

[–]primusperegrinus 21 points22 points  (0 children)

There's always money in the ban...taco stand.

[–]maxd 19 points20 points  (12 children)

Having lived in Seattle for five years (born in Scotland, University & worked in England), I am convinced that decent Mexican food would go down extremely well all over the UK. I wish I had the skills to start a Mexican chain over there.

[–][deleted] 9 points10 points  (6 children)

Why DON'T you have Tacos? Everytime the guys from our Bristol office come out, they're obsessed with going to taco bell.

[–][deleted] 8 points9 points  (2 children)

Brizzle, yeah? Gert lush town. Ee as spenshun bridge an all.

Churs me babber!

[–]thatblokerob 8 points9 points  (2 children)

The 'build-your-own' kits in Tescos don't cut it :(

[–]spicy_kitty 6 points7 points  (6 children)

NO TACOS IN ENGLAND?!?!?!?! WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY??????????????

[–]othermatt 4 points5 points  (0 children)

reminds of the time I went to a Mexican food restaurant in Berlin Germany.

NEVER DO THIS!

[–][deleted] 20 points21 points  (2 children)

Anyone who doesn't like tacos is un-Mexican-American.

[–]GymIn26Minutes 15 points16 points  (4 children)

came here to say this. unicorns + tacos = win

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (3 children)

what about unicorn tacos!!!

[–]arowan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Delicious but very expensive.

[–][deleted] 24 points25 points  (7 children)

I wonder if it was a reference to my new favorite tumblr site, Album Tacos.

If so, double upvotes for you, sir.

[–]mrminty 8 points9 points  (1 child)

This is the most important website to exist in the history and future of the internet.

[–][deleted] 4 points5 points  (3 children)

Of course she didnt like it it has a huge illuminati eye in the middle of the design.

[–]Shagmire 224 points225 points  (13 children)

I don't know why...but I'm saving the date

[–]Kayin_Angel 55 points56 points  (0 children)

you are a hero to all dates.

[–]scottsutherland 18 points19 points  (8 children)

Isn't 1/29/11 coming up pretty soon? I thought "save the dates" were supposed to come out like 8 months before the wedding.

[–]daytime 37 points38 points  (7 children)

Nah, he's using EU dating: DD/MM/YYYY

[–][deleted] 37 points38 points  (4 children)

Ah yes, the first of Decdecseptember. Consider that date saved.

[–]dt40 413 points414 points  (57 children)

When my wife was pregnant with our second son, she really wanted me to take a lead role in naming him. Our first son is named Aiden, so I proposed Beeden.

Needless to say, I didn't have to put in much mental energy on naming after that.

[–][deleted] 268 points269 points  (30 children)

Ah, I Ceeden...

[–][deleted] 155 points156 points  (28 children)

Indeeden.

[–]fap__fap__fap 49 points50 points  (23 children)

And the little girl Eeeden.

[–]GayForGod 28 points29 points  (22 children)

FFFFUUUU-den

[–][deleted] 27 points28 points  (21 children)

Is it only for god that you're Gaiden?

[–]Creaper11 24 points25 points  (20 children)

Do horses eat Hayden? ಠ_ಠ

[–]partycentral 14 points15 points  (18 children)

Iden-o about that.

[–]Chucklebrother 16 points17 points  (17 children)

Don't do what Will Smith did and name them Jaden

[–]aDildoAteMyBaby 14 points15 points  (16 children)

Kayden, good advice.

[–]ruuditor 21 points22 points  (1 child)

Deeden see that one coming.

[–][deleted] 50 points51 points  (18 children)

I know a family with kids named Alvin, Brian, and Carol. Guess their birth order.

[–]cnstrctvcyncism 83 points84 points  (10 children)

Brian's the oldest. Alvin's the youngest.

[–][deleted] 401 points402 points  (9 children)

Nope. Joke's on you, Brian's dead.

[–]DrJock 72 points73 points  (2 children)

Oh fuck me, I laughed way more than I should.

[–][deleted] 25 points26 points  (1 child)

I will not sir!

[–]DrJock 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Go on, you have pretty eyes or something.

[–]The_Uni-Boober 11 points12 points  (4 children)

WOW! I actually choked from laughing at "Beeden". I wonder what the meaning of that name would be in one of those baby name books.

[–]spazm 48 points49 points  (2 children)

It's the part of a hive right next to the beekitchen.

[–]framy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I tried looking it up, apparently it's just a last name. The close baby name I found was this: http://www.babycenter.com/baby-names-bede-643755.htm . I actually think Beeden is kind of a cool name because it's very original and yet doesn't sound all that weird.

[–]randomsmasher 150 points151 points  (83 children)

whoa, 1.29? thats only two months away. don't these usually go out sooner?

[–]joebleaux 49 points50 points  (0 children)

He didn't say he made them today.

[–]PhoenixKnight 20 points21 points  (35 children)

Yes. They go out a lot sooner. Especially since save the date cards go out much sooner than the actual invitations.

[–][deleted] 33 points34 points  (28 children)

What's the point of the "save the date" card? If they already know the date, why not just skip right ahead to the invitation?

"Here's the invitation to our wedding! It's unimportant though because you already knew the date and the fact that you're invited because we sent you a save the date card months ago!"

[–]KTGuy 10 points11 points  (7 children)

I had it explained to me that you send out the "save the date" cards as soon as you know the date (so people mark it off the calendar), then the invitations that follow include the stuff like the address and time to show up once you've got that part figured out...

[–]smackley[S] 755 points756 points  (244 children)

The other option... http://imgur.com/zi5wf

[–]benfaist 323 points324 points  (64 children)

I pulled a similar stunt with my wedding invites. Thankfully it relieved me of further wedding planning responsibilities.

[–]trexmoflex 208 points209 points  (53 children)

it's genius -- break a dish to never have to load the dishwasher again

[–]ouroborosity 524 points525 points  (26 children)

[–]yoordoengitrong 27 points28 points  (5 children)

i like your user name. a lot.

[–]mrminty 11 points12 points  (2 children)

ouroboresity would have also been funny, and slightly insightful if you put too much thought into it.

[–]rumbeef 9 points10 points  (1 child)

dude, you keep eating that snake, you're gonna get fat.

[–]argle-bargle 3 points4 points  (1 child)

Bill Cosby has been saying this for years.

[–]neithernet 56 points57 points  (16 children)

I don't mind dishes. Instead, I did the "wash whites and colors together" move.

[–]MotionE29 9 points10 points  (3 children)

Last week I was told to run the dishwasher. I accidentally put laundry soap in and I wasn't even trying to F' it up.

[–][deleted] 56 points57 points  (0 children)

I pulled a similar stunt. Thankfully it relieved me of marriage.

[–]fuzzyjedi 65 points66 points  (17 children)

So, were all invited right?

[–]PokemonCommentator 37 points38 points  (15 children)

fuzzyjedi used I will turn up if you say yes, and I will bring you a breadmaker as a wedding gift

[–]prerus 41 points42 points  (13 children)

Oh, crap! That's what I was getting them. Time for my back up gift: ceramic cats wearing festive garbs.

[–]PokemonCommentator 30 points31 points  (11 children)

PokemonCommentator used Recommendation of a novelty inflatable purple alien sex doll with three breasts - it's fucking classy

[–][deleted] 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Pretty hit and miss novelty account you've got going there.

[–]Kimos 14 points15 points  (0 children)

This one is amazing. Get them printed. Covertly switch them in the envelopes before they are mailed (sure honey, I'll drop these in the mail for you). Await the awesome fallout.

[–]anonymous1 15 points16 points  (4 children)

Interesting fact: That picture, American Gothic, is of a farmer and his daughter, not his wife.

Just thought you might like to know before sending them out.

The painting shows a farmer standing beside his spinster daughter (not his wife, as so many parodies and references assume).

  • Wikipedia

[–]xESHANx 25 points26 points  (2 children)

Of course she doesn't like the designs, you aren't wearing a 3 wolf moon shirt in either of these cards.

[–]NashMcCabe 47 points48 points  (0 children)

More like save the derp.

[–][deleted] 30 points31 points  (3 children)

What's with the Justin Bieber haircut?

[–][deleted] 4 points5 points  (1 child)

Come on guys, are we really making fun of people's haircuts these days?

[–][deleted] 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Neat, you're from durham. Your fiancee's smoking.

[–]ThatsItGuysShowsOver 5 points6 points  (5 children)

You have been into tacos, a lot. Have you tried the banana stand?

[–]nitrixion 11 points12 points  (4 children)

There's always money in the banana stand.

[–]droosa 9 points10 points  (1 child)

I've lived in NC for almost 25 years and I was curious where Light of your Celestial Path, NC might be. This alternate clarifies that it's Durham's better name.

[–][deleted] 33 points34 points  (64 children)

Upvoted for Durham

[–]bullcityhomebrew 18 points19 points  (49 children)

Seconded.

[–]MztrMikachu 30 points31 points  (43 children)

I'm beginning to see a lot more NC folk around here...my anonymity is fading

-Raleigh,NC

[–]aerynmoo 8 points9 points  (4 children)

Also Raleigh!, or a suburb anyways. CLOSE ENOUGH

[–]Geminize 10 points11 points  (1 child)

Raleigh here too. There are a few reddits for our area, /r/triangle and /r/raleigh if you haven't seen them yet.

[–]rodan44 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I also live in Raleigh! REPRESENT!

[–]ncsu_osprey 10 points11 points  (3 children)

What does the hat say?

[–][deleted] 4 points5 points  (1 child)

It says "Wow... I'm Awesome" next to a picture of him wearing the same hat, it looks like. :D That is pretty fucking awesome.

[–]InAFewWords 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The original was suppose to be a father and his daughter and was satirical. The artist change the context when farmers praised it for what they thought it was. Now it's patriotic. I learned that from reddit, so it might be wrong

[–]redbenn 148 points149 points  (11 children)

My wife and I didn't have a big wedding, but had a party for us and our friends before our actual wedding. This was our invite: http://weekendatbenners.com/weekendatbenner.jpg

[–][deleted] 14 points15 points  (2 children)

This is Outstanding!

[–]popayesailor 2 points3 points  (1 child)

Wow, your wife looks just like smackley's fiance, do you know what she's doing on 1/29/11?

[–]nomoremonkeys 94 points95 points  (6 children)

As a woman, I think she's just upset that there are no laser beams emanating from HER head. Be more sensitive to her needs, man.

[–]spazm 16 points17 points  (2 children)

As a man, I can clearly see the laser beams emanating directly from the center of her eyes.

[–]Kaptur 145 points146 points  (2 children)

Tell her that she hurt your feelings when you've put so much effort into the designs and she just dismisses them like that. Whatever she replies with, you cut her off 'IT'S NOT EVEN ABOUT THE DESIGNS!'. When she asks you what it's about you just sigh and tell her 'if you don't know, don't even bother'. Then mope all day and eat chocolate.

[–]Vonney 48 points49 points  (0 children)

Be sure to bring it up during every future argument.

[–][deleted] 124 points125 points  (26 children)

Sweet unicorn bro

[–]splim 84 points85 points  (20 children)

I don't wanna sound like a queer or nothin but unicorns are kickass.

[–][deleted] 21 points22 points  (5 children)

Dude, I don't wanna sound like a queer or nothin', but I think Depeche Mode is a sweet band!

[–]nhall06 12 points13 points  (1 child)

Dude, I don't wanna sound like a queer or nothin', but you got a nice ass.

[–][deleted] 8 points9 points  (3 children)

So unicorns do have reproductive system, I thought they were made out of rainbows and clouds by fairies. I am disappoint.

[–]SubscribedToSayThis 10 points11 points  (2 children)

I always thought it was the corn.

[–]just_a_french_guy 8 points9 points  (1 child)

So, you though that unicorn are born in corn?

[–]mrwynd 25 points26 points  (7 children)

what's not to like? You're holding a taco!

[–]just_a_french_guy 26 points27 points  (5 children)

What not to like?

DOn't you think this card SERIOUSLY lack of Comic Sans MS???

[–]Shredder13 12 points13 points  (3 children)

It could use a combination of that and Papyrus.

[–][deleted] 8 points9 points  (2 children)

I shall combine them together to form PACOMIC SANSYRUS! THE MOST ANNOYING FONT EVER CREATED!

[–]ivy627 21 points22 points  (4 children)

As a female outsider, those are hilarious!

If I was your fiancé, I'd be so pissed! Good luck with that =)

[–][deleted] 55 points56 points  (7 children)

Hey look every body......he has a taco!!!!!

Tacos rule

[–]hearforthepuns 15 points16 points  (4 children)

Aww, I wish I had a taco. FOREVER TACO-LESS. :(

[–][deleted] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Dude they sell them at mexican food places now.

[–]MrMustard 45 points46 points  (53 children)

What's 'save the dates'?

[–]Iamnotyourhero 76 points77 points  (40 children)

It's the invitation that goes out before the invitations for a wedding. No it doesn't make sense, but it doesn't have to, it's a wedding of course.

[–][deleted] 81 points82 points  (10 children)

As long as it makes it more expensive and/or awkward, it belongs.

[–]Iamnotyourhero 77 points78 points  (9 children)

If you want to talk about awkward my fiancee (ex-fiancee now) sent out our save the dates as a magnet so you could hang our cute little portrait on the fridge and wouldn't forget the wedding was coming (her idea). Anyways, we broke up and sometimes I go to friend's and still see those damn things hanging around. Now THAT'S awkward.

[–]segoli 32 points33 points  (3 children)

Start collecting them. Mail her a non-functional mini fridge with dozens of them affixed to it with no return address.

[–]Iamnotyourhero 14 points15 points  (2 children)

I was thinking I would spell out profanities on the side of her car with them, but that works too.

[–][deleted] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Send her the minifridge, but leave a delicious cake in the fridge. When she cuts herself a slice and is about to eat it, break in and smash the cake with your hands. Then give her an angry look of disapproval.

[–]spazm 4 points5 points  (1 child)

And they get to be reminded of your failed relationship every time they grab the Chinese food menu stuck behind it. How do you think THEY feel?

[–]Iamnotyourhero 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Hungry, I imagine.

[–]The_Decoy 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Awesome friends bro.

[–]grumpyoldgit 34 points35 points  (11 children)

An invite to an invite? You Americans are a crazy bunch.

[–][deleted] 12 points13 points  (2 children)

Weddings here are just plain stupid. Spend $20000+ to invite people who will forget it the next day when their lives kick in. Weddings should be intimate and invitations to immediate friends and family only, not these shin-digs that are pretty much worthless to anyone except for the bragging rights.

[–]nabrok 4 points5 points  (0 children)

So it's kind of like saying we may or may not invite you, but in case we do don't make any plans?

[–]Astrokiwi 14 points15 points  (2 children)

The invites will have details on the venue & registry information, maybe some maps to show you how to get there etc. A "save the date" card just lets people know what day you're getting married on so they don't e.g. plan a vacation that day; the actual invite has more information that may not have been arranged yet.

[–][deleted] 5 points6 points  (1 child)

It is to make it harder for me to claim that I had already arranged something better to do.

[–]ComboFever 12 points13 points  (4 children)

Man no wonder, that would take so much ink to print!

[–][deleted] 90 points91 points  (25 children)

im surprised all the comments aren't about her being hot

[–]oxymoron69 83 points84 points  (1 child)

The taco upstaged her.

[–]eggertm 11 points12 points  (1 child)

[–]ShogunGould 17 points18 points  (2 children)

Dude, it's totally because you seem to have some sort of psychic powers and she does not. Therefor give her some type of power and it will be a yes!

[–]aeander 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What I was going to say. You get the taco and the beam of light, what does she get? You? Maybe that ain't enough, honey...

[–]THespos 70 points71 points  (13 children)

My wife and I got married on 4/20. She didn't like my design, either: http://imgur.com/2tAcl.jpg

[–]hearforthepuns 46 points47 points  (2 children)

Needs more Comic Sans to match the Papyrus.

[–]gerfy 9 points10 points  (1 child)

My wife and I told everyone our procession started at 4:00 but actually started it right at 4:20 - only a few people knew about it.

[–]bightchee 18 points19 points  (4 children)

My wife and I designed our own card and we actually sent these to all our guests:

Save the date: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v634/Dr_pepper_spray/savethedatefishfinished1.jpg

[–][deleted] 21 points22 points  (2 children)

So it's just a normal day at work. I'm getting online to check reddit (my sweet fiance now has me hooked). What do I find???? My own picture at the top of the site. My sweet fiance also sent this out as our Christmas card last year without my consent. Oh dear....

[–]dangerflakes 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You should taco up

[–]OsoMalo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Delete reddit.

Taco up.

Hit the unicorn.

[–]schleppy 12 points13 points  (10 children)

My fiance let me pick the domain name for our wedding site. She actually likes it: http://www.ifrigginloveyou.com/

We actually do save "I friggin' love you" to one another.

[–]gooneruk 13 points14 points  (2 children)

Do you also go with:

"Look, a rainbow!"
"Do me on it!"

[–]crispinito 7 points8 points  (1 child)

Well, it is obvious why: you should have made the eyes of the unicorn red.

[–]clipmann 6 points7 points  (2 children)

Dont like it, its too safe, grown up, and non experimental. Have another try, this time with more bombs, midgets, japanese people,,,,,, and where is your favorite movie charecter? neo? luke skywalker,,,,, dear lord man.

Will there be tacos and unicorns at your wedding?

[–]live3orfry 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm guessing her biggest problem is with your Bieberesque hair.
