We should do these every day of our lives: Number one is laugh. You should laugh every day. Number two is think. You should spend some time in thought. Number three is, you should eat a taco. But think about it, if you laugh, you think, and you eat a taco, that's a full day. That's a heck of a day. You do that seven days a week, you're going to have something special. Tacos can take away all my physical abilities. But they cannot touch my mind, cannot touch my heart and they cannot touch my soul. And those three things are going to carry on forever.  I know Taco Tracking can be hard, I’ve experienced it, but the Taco Tracker 2.8’s motto is “Don’t give up, don’t ...http://www.wxrx.com/Blogs/TacoTracker/blogentry.aspx?BlogEntryID=10256368tommeersman@gmail.com ("Taco" Tom Meersman)http://www.wxrx.com/Blogs/TacoTracker/blogentry.aspx?BlogEntryID=10256368Sat, 02 Jul 2011 20:17:29 GMTI recently took a 12 day hiatus from taco eating, and thus taco tracking.  There’s really no good reason why I went twelve days, including two Taco Tuesdays without eating a taco.  It’s embarrassing.  I love tacos.  I’ve let down myself, let down the Taco Tracker, and let down my country.  My pace has dropped dramatically to just a smidge over 433 tacos for the year.  That’s like a hitter with a batting average of .433 going into the All-Star break.  It’s unacceptable!     I don’t know if it was a mental lapse as I struggled to come to grips with the fact that I’m approaching that elusive and historic 100th taco.  Perhaps in my subconscious I am secretly scared of the 100th taco.   I don’t know what the deal is, but I can tell you that I am 100% committed to tracking tacos.     With that being ...http://www.wxrx.com/Blogs/TacoTracker/blogentry.aspx?BlogEntryID=10254778tommeersman@gmail.com ("Taco" Tom Meersman)http://www.wxrx.com/Blogs/TacoTracker/blogentry.aspx?BlogEntryID=10254778Tue, 28 Jun 2011 00:20:52 GMTAC/DC’s song For Those About to Rock (We Salute You) is secretly about Taco Tracker 2.8.  For years songs have been known to have secret meanings and heavy use of double entendres, AC/DC’s For Those About to Rock (We Salute You) is one of those songs.  The song makes constant subliminal references towards counting the amount of tacos that one consumes.   Lets analyze the lyrics, stanza by George Costanza: Stand up and be counted For what you are about to receiveWe are the dealers We'll give you everything you needHail hail to the good times 'Cause rock has got the right of wayWe ain't no legend, ain't no causeWe're just livin' for today The first line, “Stand up and be counted, for what you are about to receive,” this is probably the most overt reference to Taco Tracking in the entire song.  Clearly, the “Stand up ...http://www.wxrx.com/Blogs/TacoTracker/blogentry.aspx?BlogEntryID=10248382tommeersman@gmail.com ("Taco" Tom Meersman)http://www.wxrx.com/Blogs/TacoTracker/blogentry.aspx?BlogEntryID=10248382Sat, 11 Jun 2011 21:56:38 GMTThe day was Tuesday April 5, 2011.  As with every Tuesday, this was Taco Tuesday.  However, it wasn't just any ordinary Taco Tuesday, it also happened to be my 28th birthday.  I knew I was going to eat tacos for lunch because that's what I do on virtually every Tuesday. However, I didn't know the impact on my life this particular birthday meal would have.  I hopped in the car and headed down the road to Taco John's where I placed my usual order of 3 crispy tacos with no sauce and a medium Potato Ole.  On the ride back to work, I was left to my thoughts.  Thoughts of tacos filled my brain.  I love tacos.  I eat them typically every Tuesday, and also anytime I feel like a quick, cheap, delicious meal.  I wondered to myself, "Self, I wonder how many tacos you eat in a year?"
