time for them to block the word 'burrito', and continue a life of innocence.

I recall Jack Hardy saying once that "the only way out is through" was the inspiration for this song.

"Through the mirror darkly
Through the looking glass
Through the eye of the needle
This too shall pass... through"

Welcome to John's Bluesky. The door is locked from the outside

I can check out, any time I want!

Idiosyncratic? or Cthonian?

whyaduck.bsky.social•75 days ago

My only qualm is the type of peanut butter. If it’s all natural, that sounds good. But if it has added sugar then the end product sounds too sweet with the inherent sweetness of the bbq and the preserves.

lluewgrey.bsky.social•75 days ago

My only question is: Do you eat these burritos or just take 1 bite and post the Franken-burrito for entertainment value?
I mean I'm good either way, just curious.

dogmaticstorm.bsky.social•75 days ago

Honestly, it’s just nice to see the burritostrosities in my timeline again.

eldritchscrap.bsky.social•75 days ago

You weren't lying, that burrito can idiosyncrasies

uniclearwater.bsky.social•75 days ago

You cannot frighten me sir. I have seen a friend put instant hot chocolate in their instant maple flavored oatmeal.

brianeisley.bsky.social•75 days ago

Well, that actually makes a modicum of sense, unlike John's atrocities-in-a-wrap.

the-shadow-dragon.bsky.social•75 days ago

All hail the Burrito King!

marktierneymt.bsky.social•75 days ago

Don't remind me about that truism; I feel like I'm sitting at the airport waiting for an exit flight away from the horror that's not taking off for months...it takes a while to unwind a life.

echocian.bsky.social•75 days ago

I'd try it.

I might not finish it, but I'd try it.

tamidon.bsky.social•75 days ago

I was good until the pickle

ryanmeader.bsky.social•74 days ago

I know it’s a taco and not a burrito, and *somebody* has to have made this before, but it had to be done. @scalzi.com

badideahat.bsky.social•75 days ago

Look, I just finally figured out how to make a proper fried rice (spoiler; I was omitting the green onions and egg). At this point, I'm willing to take any advice on how to not be stupid in the kitchen.

jdouglas71.bsky.social•75 days ago

I follow you specifically for the burritos!

dwebbie.bsky.social•74 days ago

I’m about to live through another Trump presidency…I need the practice!

oh burritos nice

stevecuzner.bsky.social•74 days ago

I was pretty sure I was up to it, but then I fell upon the masculine pony shirt, and I knew. We ride at dawn!

I have Imodium.
I'll be fine.

redroach67.bsky.social•75 days ago

While not a burrito enthusiast, I admire your passion and devotion.

curole.bsky.social•75 days ago

I can’t imagine why you’d ever find yourself in Augusta, Maine, but if you do, go to Two Maine Guys and get whatever weird burrito special they have that week.

Last week it was hot honey garlic chicken with macaroni and cheese. Weird, but tasty.

travelmadhatter.bsky.social•74 days ago

We are in NE Scotland where some local folks, Pie Aroma, are doing that with wee pies. Some are strange combos, but tasty.

curole.bsky.social•74 days ago

I would try that.

vortmax.bsky.social•75 days ago

Burrito: "Random stuff in a tortilla... go!"

jpwkeeper.bsky.social•75 days ago

That's what the burrito said.

mermieux.bsky.social•75 days ago

Wait! What?! Noooooooooooooooooo!
:D

12milegeo.bsky.social•75 days ago

The natural evolution of my culinary abominations into burrito abominations is entirely your fault.

dfjdejulio.bsky.social•75 days ago

The only way out is through?

Isn't that exactly how the burrito feels?

novavogon.bsky.social•75 days ago

I am sure someone with way too much time on their hands has created a Random Burrito Generator.

riley37.bsky.social•74 days ago

Gygax's Tabular Doom, 9th level Magic-User spell. When this spell is cast, flip open the 1E DMG to a random page, and roll on whatever table appears on that page. Apply the result to the target.

lorendavidson.bsky.social•74 days ago

I might not agree with some of your choices for contents. But I'm good with wrapping different stuff in the tortilla than the usual.

keithwhare.bsky.social•75 days ago

I thought a burrito was a small burro.

waz001.bsky.social•75 days ago

I'm looking forward to the burrito idiosyncrasies!

twoandseven.bsky.social•75 days ago

People didn't know about your "dump an entire Chopped basket of ingredients into a tortilla" proclivity? You're famous for your burrito leanings!

rellum.bsky.social•75 days ago

“the only way out is through”

Truly this is burrito discourse.

stlorca.bsky.social•75 days ago

I have seen...burritos...you people wouldn't believe.

badexampleman.bsky.social•75 days ago

All those toppings are lost now … like tears in rain.

geekyonion.com•74 days ago

Just like the foods in the burritos.

mmmadcccow.bsky.social•75 days ago

I have eaten so many different food items on a burrito wrap. The options are endless. 😋😁

mrbrooksher.bsky.social•75 days ago

You ever seen this dude on Instagram? He might offer some inspiration.

corwincannuck.bsky.social•75 days ago

Burrito is the toilet-bowl killer. I will eat my burrito. I will permit it to pass through me. When the burrito is gone, only I will remain.

jonmccarty.bsky.social•73 days ago

sleepydwagonman.bsky.social•75 days ago

I have to admit something, when I talked about a series of authors who I enjoy reading and thoroughly recommended in an advent blog post, I totally coincidentally of course ... followed your mention with this meme :-D

stephonnm.bsky.social•75 days ago

Oh, is *that* what we're calling it? Idiosyncrasies? 😏😼

darinseidel.bsky.social•75 days ago

What, people follow you for other reasons? 😉

borisammerlaan.bsky.social•75 days ago

Idiosyncrasies is the new War Crimes.

elithek.bsky.social•75 days ago

You're really easing the BlueSky crowd in, tho. I'm not sure that even registers as a genuine Scalzi Burrito™. With the possible (tho I would dispute) exception of the peanut butter, you can't really make the case that any of the ingredients are out of place among the others.

No standards, we die like burritos.

unclegrognard.bsky.social•75 days ago

Trapped? Are you kidding? The Burritos are why I'm here!
Well, that and I liked "Fuzzy Nation".

renwritings.bsky.social•75 days ago

Oh, do you think so?

thepenguinsays.bsky.social•75 days ago

I like you both as an author and a burrito aficionado. In both worlds its fun to see what you come up with next.

jasontremblay.bsky.social•75 days ago

Image labels exist to protect the normies from your burrito idiosyncrasies.

redfox2.bsky.social•75 days ago

danielsand.bsky.social•75 days ago

I’m going to need a misfit team of implausibly hot men and women to help lead me through the burrito hellscape to safety on the other side.

evilape.bsky.social•74 days ago

nkaykerr.bsky.social•75 days ago

Sir, consider the fact you eat things so weird you wouldn’t write them into a book. Considering what you do happily include in your writing that is not exactly a low bar.

devonianstone.bsky.social•75 days ago

bring o the burrito lore!

derekactually.bsky.social•75 days ago

As long as it fuels the great writing, by all means. lol.

leanbean65.bsky.social•74 days ago

How do you go through a burrito?

raggedrabbit.bsky.social•74 days ago

I'm glad you asked!

blakelyc.bsky.social•74 days ago

Analogously, I have a “everything is pasta sauce” philosophy.

carbonman1.bsky.social•74 days ago

Bring it, I'll try anything a couple of times. I have GERD meds!

Do they know about the cat bacon?

grimmben.bsky.social•75 days ago

mamabeardebra.bsky.social•75 days ago

I’ve made a few unusual vegan burritos myself, so whatever floats your boat. As long as you don’t ask me to eat that, we’re good.

Follow The Path of a burrito through John

dr--bill.bsky.social•74 days ago

Follow the Path with Burrito, Gun and Camera. Instant coffee table book bestseller. Too late for this year’s Christmas gifting, but there’s always next year! Imagine the cries of astonishment and joy round the Christmas tree as the magnificent cover illustration emerges from the wrapping paper.

haneybadger.bsky.social•75 days ago

Playing in a brass quintet tomorrow for a student jury. Asked for payment in burritos. Knew you would approve.
