Is it just me or does Jacob Cameron from Battletech look suspiciously similar to Rocky Rococo?

This is an odd one, folks. You know me. You know I am always after the big burritos because I am almost always a hungry boy. That is not the case today. I couldn't even finish my burrito today. Something is wrong with me. I haven't had much of an appetite for a couple days. I don't feel right, but I knew I had to eat something today, so I went to Qdoba.

While in the mall, I found myself on the escalator behind a Cousins subs employee. There is no Cousins in the mall. I suddenly became curious about where the Cousins employee goes to get lunch. I was hoping it was going to be Qdoba, because I like feeling validated in my choices, but he went to Panda Express instead. While stalking the Cousins man, I noticed yet another eatery has disappeared from the food court. One of the ones I thought was too big to fail: Rocky Rococo. Where there were once two places to get pizza in the Grand Avenue Mall, there are now none. Only Subway, Panda, Tomato, and Qdoba remain. 

Qdoba had a handwritten sign up that said "Cash Only. System is Down." I wouldn't be able to use my gift card today or acquire any points, but I decided to go for it anyway. The same new worker from last time was behind the counter, and she had some cool florescent orange lipstick on. The rice today had a bunch of hard, dried grains in it. I think the fact that Qdoba could only do cash may have affected sales. They weren't going through their ingredients quickly. Again, she gave me some pretty decent scoops of beans. She's definitely not a bean hater like some of the folks who have come and gone from this Qdoba over the years. The veggies looked like they had been sitting all day, but of course I got some. Her wrap job left the ends of the burrito not fully sealed. It got very difficult to eat, both because of the poor wrap, and also because of my terrible stomach. At the register, they were doing all the math on a piece of paper. Everything is falling apart. My burrito. My body. Society. Everything. Weight: 692 grams (24.40 oz)

Okay, so I didn’t realize that Rocky Rococo wasn’t a national chain.  Apparently, they only have two locations outside of Wisconsin.

I just assumed that the commercials with the Italian dude in the sunglasses and the white suit and hat were some sort of universal commercial background radiation across America

Firesign Theater: The Further Adventures Of Nick Danger.

"It was midnight at the Om Mane Padme Sigma house"

"Rocky Rococo at your cervix"

NICK (ends whistling) (pick up phone/one more ring) Nick Danger, Third Eye... VOICE (phone voice) I, uh, wanna order a pizza to go and no anchovies... NICK  No anchovies? You've got the wrong man, I spell my name...Danger. (phone hangup) VOICE  (phone voice) What?

Good stuff. Wacky, surreal, chock full of hidden wisdom. You can get all smug and wiggly because you get some of their esoteric references. Also, they're funny.
