TacoFone's

Things are sometimes not what they seem. In Cyrillic script some letters look like others we are familiar with and some look different. Take for instance the letter F as we know it looks like ะค in Cyrillic. Cool isn't it. and some others are the same but different. like the letter o is almost always pronounced like a soft a. and a number 3 is actually a z , while the small capital H is actually the letter n, and the c is pronounced s. Got that. There will be a test later in this post.

Take for instance this telephone booth which in not in service, apparently leads one to question if it was a TACO-fone phone or a Toxa-fone phone. We have wondered what exactly that is all about and what one would use one for. To order tacos or to report hazardous waste spills. Or maybe this phone has some other sinister use we have not yet guessed. They are located all over Bay city and most are in this or worse shape. Apparently the coming of the Cell phone has killed the Takcofon phone market. But as always happens just when you decide to have no idea what is up a lightbulb illuminates and you know.


These phones were for ordering take out from the HAZMAT cafe.
Question answered and case closed.

Now that you have read all that, I hope the rest of your day goes better. Have a good one!
