A NO THUMBS DOWN THREAD. BACON!!!

Yesterday’s QOTD asked if it’s possible to post an article that will get a minimum of 25 comments AND no thumbs down.

I am simply trying to promote an atmosphere of LOVE, peace, joy, harmony, and nice words.  (Especially considering yesterday’s shitfest between Llpoh and RiNS. Yikes!!)

I asked this community of Righteous Ones to submit suggestions, and the one with the most thumbs up would get the nod.

Well, you sonsabitches selected a RIDICULOUS picture of a dog and bacon, submitted by our own illustrious Hardscrabble Farmer.


For the record, he won by one measly vote … 22-21 … over the MUCH better question submitted by Iska Waran, “How do you want John McCain to die?” …. a wonderful question which would have gotten to 100 comments without a single down vote. But, noooo … you Russian colluders had to pick Bacon Dog, knowing that pussfied cat lovers will go thumbs down crazy on any doggie comments! So be it. The people have spoken ….

Q1: A dog will lick his own smelly balls rather than eat a crispy tasty sweet-smelling piece of bacon. What does that tell us about dogs?

Q2: Why is God so wishy-washy? (I mean, he was against bacon before he was for it!)

Q3: Bacon makes everyone happy and loving. So, do you think the Joo Problem (whatever you perceive it to be) could be resolved if they ate bacon?

Again, we’re trying to get a Zero Thumbs Down thread for the first time in TBP history. Please formulate your answers so as to not offend anyone!

I refuse to comply as cats also will eat bacon,perhaps you should have had John being eaten by feral dogs while in his death throes,would have up voted that.That said,would have found something to down vote or like here created a thread that tis bound to get down voted,come on folks,let the down voting begin!

We sold that pup to a farm in Loudon- she’s the spitting image of her sire who is the best damn cattle dog you’ve ever seen, ask IluvCO2, he’s seen him in action.

We built our own smokehouse this past Summer and make a bacon that would bring tears to your eyes it’s so delicious. You put those two together and you’re about as close to Heaven as you’re going to get on an economics blog.

I’m going to ignore your questions and just type a random bullshit story.

So, I work a few blocks down from an honest-to-goodness bacon plant. Our maintenance crew is friends with their maintenance crew, so we get super cheap bacon all the time. That, coupled with our own internal animal nutrition trials, means I have borderline free bacon in my fridge/freezer all the time, going back several years now.

The bacon plant has one enterprising dude that candies the bacon. In honest-to-goodness maple syrup. The real stuff. The good stuff. Its so damned delightful that he should be in business selling it. And no, I don’t have the recipe.

I just really like talking about bacon.

However, since this particular post IS about pigs, in a way… I thought I would share with you my mother-in-law’s recipe for Pigs in Blankets. A very stinky dish to cook, so I know you’ll LOVE it.

So…I just disliked every comment here. Why? It may be the element in me that just won’t bend to things like that (Stucky’s little experiment). Maybe I’m just antisocial. Or maybe, just maybe it’s my old tried and true belief that there is always a dick in a crowd and this is why we can’t have nice things. Or maybe it’s because fuck you I won’t do what you told me.

Oh, hell… Stucky’s hope for zero down-thumbs has already been blown. Here comes the sales pitch!

Admin, once again I am offering this one of a kind oil on canvas (very few scratches since being painted in 1960-something) originally titled Fire on Kentucky Lake but easily renamed to honor your classy home economics blog.

I think it’s fair to say that absent poon-tang, bacon tastes just as good, maybe better. All Americans know this in their heart and therefore I conclude this was a conspiracy to shoot down and deep six this love-fest lest the people unite against the ruling bacon haters.
