probably because theres a lot more trans people than you realize, on SA as well, because they feel they have to hide and that makes them have ptsd and depression so they kill themselves there ya go. That's my theory anyways.

RIP. I remember when TAOC was a guest on a show hosted by a fellow goon on the University of Toledo radio station back in 2001. I called to confirm they successfully censored a "gently caress" when they played one of her songs because they were worried it would slip through. Exciting story, I know.

TAOC TEH WODNER DOG - SONG FOR THE STUPID RAVER SHITHEAD WHO LIVES UNDERNEATH ME AND ALWAYS PLAYS HIS lovely MUSIC REALLY LOUD AND MAKES MY FLOOR VIBRATE AND AT ONE POINT HE LEFT HIS ROOM BUT LEFT THE STEREO ON AND IT SKIPPED AND I HAD TO LISTEN TO IT FOR FOUR loving HOURS

A wonderful example of proto-shitposting on a whole other level really, bravo TAOC

Wow... what a gut punch to read this thread.

Taco's flash animations introduced me to a lot of weird and interesting music that's stuck with me for years. You never know when you put yourself out there who will be touched and influenced by you. RIP Taco the Wonder Dog. Too weird to live, too rare to die.

Absolutely. I'm crazy about Renaldo and the Loaf and U.S. Maple because of her. And I have Hidden Bone and Hidden Gristle, the album she made with SydBarrett around 2005, on CD.

Somewhere on one of the computers in my house I have her "X-ACTO MAGIC!!" thread where she posted scans of comics that she had cut up to change the dialogue. Wally from Dilbert says, "I live in a big tin egg and can jam a smiling new guy." And in another comic, someone just yells, "TOOTH! TOOTH! TOOTH! TOOTH!" Two more quotes: "The doctor fainted! All bets are off!" "Your baby! It grew! Inside me! LOOK AT ME!"

(apologies for bump, I just found out)

I have great memories of sitting with one of my friends, loudly watching I Love Doritos (or whatever it was actually called) on lovely macs in the computer lab in high school, and annoying the poo poo out of people.

Renaldo and the Loaf is exactly what I was referring to. that music helped me out a lot in a really bad time of my life, and if it weren't for Taco's "clips" animations I never would have discovered them.

Oh man I remember her :( this is so sad!

Remember, there's always another way. Suicide isn't the answer.

Edited to reflect her preferred pronouns because I didn't read the entire OP - sorry

TAOC was one of the greatest legends of the old forums. Once a college radio station tried to interview her about one of her projects, I can't remember which, but all they got in response to their questions was Casey Kasem's "this is loving ponderous, man" rant recited nearly verbatim. Legendary.

Came to pay condolences. Big Coke was a legendary standard of every server i put up for any source game.

Rest in peace girl.

Edit: Also leave it to a loving goon to post her obit thread with hosed up pronouns. JFC this place carries its legacy.

Was a huge fan of her work as a teenager and she definately shaped my humor in some ways. Always REALLY wondered what happened to her, so to find out today that not only did her art and internet presence continue but that she's gone now is really bittersweet.

I remember once back in 2002 or something she was taking song requests by phone. A friend and I called and asked for a song about having a seizure while waiting for the train and she whipped something up instantly. Good times.

Edit: Apologies for bumping a year+ old thread in GBS. Thought this was in the obit forum.

RIP Taco :(

Does that earlier link include Taco’s comics? (Don’t feel like downloading a sketchy zip on my work computer) I’ve been looking for those for a while. I vaguely remember a front page post that was utterly insane.

RIP. she was genuinely hilarious.

For those of you wondering, she died in early 2020, so this isn't exactly breaking news, but it's never inappropriate to mourn a significant loss.
