Taco Bell and “ass” should maybe be kept apart to maintain a veneer of authenticity maybe?
Hence the hyphen.
This is… this is perfect. I will not rest until I am published in TBQ.
If they think that making a is-it-serious-is-it-parody academic journal about a pedestrian consumable is a reaction against hipsters, then they and I have a very different understanding about what “hipster” means…
(though, honestly hipster seems to mean whichever upper-middle-class semi-creative person is doing something that you find annoying)
Two hipsters walk into a bar, but then immediately leave. “Too many hipsters” one says to the other.
I feel like this is an attempt at one-upping Joe Wenderoth’s **Letters To Wendy’s**.
Taco Bell is a hotbed of creative ferment:
unpaid? and we think this is funny? the brands have won the posting wars i guess
oooh i really want my old job back
Now all literary magazines are Taco Bell.
I liked TBQ before it was cool. But by rising to a level where I could find out about them, they’ve sold-out their underground roots and alienated me. /s
