I work for a baked-goods company (Sara Lee to be specific, although I don't know how well this company is known outside the USA). This means that my job involves dealing with (literally) tons of bread and similar products every day.
The other day, several hundred packages of really good tortillas came my way. We can't use them in the stores which I ship bread to, so they are normally thrown into the garbage. But since they're good, and the expiration date is a month away, I grabbed a bunch and took them home.
Now I find myself eating Mexican food every night. Tacos on Tuesday, enchiladas for the last 2 nights, and it'll be tacos again tonight.
This reminds me of a set of lyrics I wrote about 5 years ago about aliens. It's the only song I've ever written that mentions tacos.

I was driving on the highway
The night was cold and dark
I saw the spaceship landing
I started with a start
I saw the green men walk out
I freaking out and screamed
They picked me up and threw me
Into their space machine
Yeah the green aliens are really cool guys
They look like Dan Rather but it's just a disguise
They slapped me in the face and served me hot chai
They punched me in the nose and taught me how to fly
And then they cut my feet off
The surgery was painful
Their knife was really sharp
They suspended all my brain waves
And cut into my heart
They drilled into my skull skull
And put my brain in a jar
They unwound my intestines
They tuned up my car
Yeah the green aliens are really cool guys
They look like Richard Pryor but it's just a disguise
They kicked me in the gut and they bought me a taco
They knocked out my teeth and put my taco on a nacho
And then they cut my ear off
The party was long over
When the sun came up
They left their vital juices
In my coffee cup
But nobody believes me
When I tell my tale
I show my scars to prove it
And my eyeball and my scales
Yeah the green aliens are really cool guys
They look like Jim Thorpe but it's just a disguise
They tripped me on their floor and they debugged my computer
They cut off all my hair and they took me out to Hooters
And then they sewed my feet back on

Keeping an open eye on the Weeping Angels.
If it wasn't for Indian food, fish and typical English grub (the breakfast, a good roast or some decent pies) and maybe the odd bowl of pasta, Mexican food would dominate my diet. But then again, I could talk about food all day.
In the UK, we have heard of Sara Lee - but only for their cakes.

I'm surprised (and also relieved, maybe) that 7000 hasn't been reached yet...
That was a true classic, SMX! Have you written any more songs?
