That's Taco Time. *sigh*

As much as love Mr. Mudede's posts, I feel like he writes as I would if I had a job at The Stranger: with whimsy and total ambivalence for comprehension and detail.

@2 Having that job description does sound pretty cool. You know every once in a while you would have a brilliant inspiring idea.

@1 Because he said Taco Bell, I initially thought he was correcting the tweeter's comment identifying the building as Taco Time, because the angle on the shot was confusing to me. Could that be 15th Ave NW?

I guess that's why they call it a "drive-through window", am I right?

@8: This particular individual was lusting after the deliciousness of "mexi-fries".

And they're Mexi-Fries, not just ordinary tater tots.

Looks like the bicycles have claimed another victim in the War on Cars.

@8, from Urban Dictionary: "feenin' - Wanting, craving for intensely". See the 1993 hit by Jodeci, "Feenin'" (warning: take precautions, song may cause females to enter estrus without warning).

@2 For instance, see his post farther down on the page about the human zoo. That wasn't that long ago and really is worth pondering.

good riddance! I have not forgiven TT for the awful burrito I purchased in 1988. Seriously shitty Mexican food even for fast food standards...sorry locals, it blows. And being Mexican, hearing the name "mexi-fries" just makes me bent. ¡vamos a senor moose pendejos!

Mexi-fries are so fucking good though. @15, you namecheck Señor Moose, which used to do a heavenly version of those, but no more, I was told last time I tried to order it.

This location is at a fork in the road. My guess is the driver was going too fast and/or was too drunk or stoned make the curve and decided to split the difference by plowing into the Taco Time in the center.

@17, indeed, as the article points out, it's the same spot where a carload of teens killed themselves by spearing the Taco Time sign a few years back.

If Seattle was intelligently built, there would be a building at that fork, impossible to miss, instead of a fucking parking lot, and the roadway wouldn't be a million yards wide, encouraging speeding.

"Niggas was feenin' for the tater tots huh?" = "The individual who was driving this car apparently had a craving for Taco Time's popular side dish, 'mexi fries', wouldn't you say?"

Is it not obvious that it's referencing "fiending", or am I just from the South?

Idiots racing to Golden Gardens late night do this all the time. Usually they just hit the curb and do a little suspension damage, but a few times a year they'll do real damage. There was a smashed up car in the lot a couple months ago.
Market is a straight shot so it's easy to get some speed going there. Since there's no chance of getting a ticket or even seeing a cop, why not let it rip? Oh yeah…a wet street with a big freaking pole straight ahead.

When you come to a fork in the road, take it.

20: No, it should be pretty clear that it means "fiending."
