    THE OFFICIAL TACO-SNOTTING FAQ

    By J. Wipo Troll, Esq., $Revision: 1.16 $

    [This article attempts to document a vile, ungodly practice that runs rampant through the homosexual geek and hacker community, a practice known as Taco-snotting, or simply snotting. Taco-snotting is something that few geeks dare talk about in free or open conversation, but it is nonetheless a widely-practiced and dangerous form of homosexuality. If you or anyone you know has ever engaged in Taco-snotting, please get professional help before it is too late. ed.]

    Why do I keep receiving emails from an individual calling himself CmdrTaco?

    You have been receiving unsolicited mailings from a certain

    Robert CmdrTaco Malda, owner of the popular technology website slashdot.org. Actually, its not a very popular site in the common sense of the word; the site is rife with pimply, antisocial geeks and hackers, zit-faced nerds, communists, dirty GNU hippies, and other societal rejects and outcasts. Its also home to one of the worlds largest suspected pædophile rings, the infamous Slashdot crew.

    Whenever Mr. Malda gets bored (and who wouldnt, running a site like

    Slashdot all day), he roams through the user database, penis in hand, looking for people who might enjoy engaging in homosexual activities with him. How he determines this is anyones guess; but if you have a homosexual-sounding nickname, or a nick with a letter of the English alphabet in it, youre a potential candidate.

    This time, he found

    you. Lucky you.

    Mr. Malda seems to be speaking in some sort of code. Do you know what it means?

    CmdrTacos code language is relatively easy to decipher. This pervert prefers to speak in thinly-veiled sexual innuendo (yes, thats right: he wants you) to evade the watchful eye of Slashdots parent corporation,

    VA Software. Mr. Maldas Commander is, of course, his penis: a small, withered little thing that lives in his pants and only comes out in the presence of other male geeks or at the beck and call of Maldas own lubed-up right hand. His Taco bells are the shriveled testicles that droop beneath his Commander, and his Taco sauce is his thin, runny semen. It should be more than obvious to you now what he means if he asked you to ring his Taco bells or taste his gourmet Taco sauce.

    I would also guess CmdrTaco asked you to engage in a practice known as Taco-snotting and, if he was in a particularly depraved mood at the time, a circle-snot.

    Good Lord. And, yes, he did. What is Taco-snotting?

    Taco-snotting is the term used by Robert Malda to refer to the depraved act of fellating another man (homo- or heterosexual; CmdrTaco is rumoured to prefer raping unwilling victims), then blowing the semen out his nose and back onto the face and body of his victim. Naturally, a long, bubbly stream of milky-white semen is

    left on CmdrTacos face, dribbling out of his nose and down his cheek: hence the term, Taco-snotting.

    And if thats not bad enough

    A circle-snot is a Taco-snotting

    circle-jerk, anothe

    He didn't quite show -everything- stupid about /. ... You've highlighted the "I won't get modded down if I'm self-effacing/igratiating by saying I'll get modded down for this, but that's ok" reverse psychology versus moderation ploy.
