TPBM believes Canadian-made regular bacon is superior to American bacon.

[catinthefunnyhat]

Canadian-made regular bacon is delish. I don't know how it compares to its American-made counterpart, having not sampled a lot of the latter.
On the other hand, I really don't care for "Canadian bacon," i.e. back bacon. FYI, American friends, Canadians mostly eat the regular stuff.

Random citfh story! Many years ago, I was working in a restaurant in a tourist town on Vancouver Island. It was a shitty restaurant on the highway, so we didn't get locals, only tourists passing through, many of them American. Anyways, on one of my first shifts, this American family came in, and the dad, among other things, ordered pizza and tea. He asked if the bacon on our list of toppings was Canadian bacon. I had no idea at that time that "Canadian bacon" meant back bacon. So, somewhat puzzled, I responded that it was... because all of our meat was Canadian (like, duh!). He was SO MAD when the pizza came with regular bacon, and I had no idea why (but seriously... back bacon on pizza? Who does that?). And then the tea was another fiasco: I brought hot tea -- WRONG. He meant "cold tea." So I brought iced tea, which in Canada at that time referred specifically to a sugary, tea-and-lemon-flavoured powdered drink. Of course, that was ALSO wrong. And then I had to explain to him that cold, brewed tea was not a standard offering and would take some time to prepare. I think I almost re-ignited the war of 1812.

TPBM would be surprised to hear that the Canadians think they won the war of 1812.

Any bacon is superior to anything else. Period.

TPBM hasn't had their regularly scheduled Friday morning coffee yet.

[catinthefunnyhat]

Any bacon is superior to anything else. Period.

Does that mean Canadian-made regular bacon is superior to American bacon and vice-versa?



*fears for the stability of the space-time continuum*

I'm off to a slow start this morning. Still working on my coffee and just started breakfast, despite having been up for hours.
Speaking of problems with space-time...

TPBM always doubles the amount of spice called for in any recipe, even the first time.

[theCryptofishist]

Recipie?
TPBM is very glad the shoe question wasn't answered by me...

[lazerfox]

Yeah I had been drinking and my boyfriend had been asking me to look at what seemed like an endless amount of shoes on his screen as I typed since he is trying to buy some new ones. It was the first thing that came to my mind and I honestly never think about you in that way.

TPBM thinks I stick my foot in my mouth often

[FeetOfClay]

Foot in mouth, eating crow...love all those vivid expressions for going "oh shit--should not have said that".

TPBM has a song stuck in their head....

[theCryptofishist]

Something was running around in there earlier this week, but it seems to be gone. Not going to look for the title, I don't want to start it up again...
TPbM has a song that s/he uses to drive ear worms out.

[Foxfur]

High Hopes (Rubber Tree Plant song) as interpreted by Doris Day. Although in my head she's singing it with a thick as borscht Russian accent. WTF?
For the record, I'd love to hear it sung by Carol Channing (preferably in a strong Japanese accent).

TPBM has consumed bacon in the last 154 hours.

[theCryptofishist]

No.
TPBM has designs on Foxfur's spam stash.

[Foxfur]

Goddamn right I do!

TPBM knows that there's always never something for nothing.

[catinthefunnyhat]

Um...
Wait, a couple of glasses of wine ago, this would've been easy...
*thinking... thinking*
Decided I disagree. I've gotten gifts in my life that I really feel were truly gifts.
Or there's another shoe yet to drop.

TPBM likes music with lots of suspension, not a lot of resolution.

[Foxfur]

Pop goes the weasel is a fovorite of mine. The DJ Shadow remix is even better.

TPBM, ah, whatever...

[Straightveg]

Yeah, that's pretty much how I'm feeling after 8 hours at work in 92 degree heat. That's 92 degrees indoors. The AC in the shop has been broken for the past week. They were supposed to finally fix it today, but it was more than just the wiring issue they thought it was, so now we might need a compressor or something and get to suffer some more tomorrow.

TPBM has been known to eat watermelon with a spoon.

[theCryptofishist]

Yeah, that's cool, 'cause if you twirl it around you get a nice hole in the melon slice.
TPBM knows not to buy seedless watermelon.

[moonrise]

You got that right! The flavor simply isn't up to snuff, yet.

Since we're talking about melons...
TPBM wishes more Texans would bring some of those divine Honeydew melons from Texas...they are the finest in the world! Yum, nom nom nom....!!

[catinthefunnyhat]

Melons are gross. Period.

TPBM agrees.

[maryanimal]

Oh No. I love watermelons. all the others aare gross, so I do agree with you in part.

tpbm like cinfh's new avatar! Very chic!

[catinthefunnyhat]

Thanks, MA!
(I like it... obviously, since I chose it It was a somewhat arbitrary choice; I'd been thinking of changing it for a while -- it's very de rigeur these days, as you know -- but I didn't know what pic to pick. Tonight, after a few drinks, I suddenly got the idea to unearth this one from my flickr stream...)
And, MA: I must return the compliment! Your new avi is classy and consistent with the fertility theme! I love the wistful expression on her face.

TPBM is also considering a new avatar. Plenty of room for more on this bandwagon!

[theCryptofishist]

I want to knock the corners off this one first.
TPBM uses cheap beer to kill snails.

[lazerfox]

Why would I kill the snails? Did they do something evil? Those evil bastards!

TPBM thinks it is too early for killin' talk

[theCryptofishist]

I dunno. I hate time right now. I had terrible insomnia, and here I am again when I could, should, be asleep.

[FeetOfClay]

the person ABOVE me left no info about the TPBM, which is this case, is me.

TPBM thinks that's funny and absurd, which s/he likes because s/he has a penchant for Dada.

[theCryptofishist]

True. However, I must be the champion of not leaving a question in this thread. I please weariness today. I did not sleep well.
TPBM thinks it right that Feet of Clay get this question.

[theCryptofishist]

Yes, but she's had her chance.
TPBM sang karaoke last night.

[Elorrum]

no, but there was a lot of late 60's music trivia... and "the first record I bought" stuff.
Easy Come, Easy Go. by Bobby Sherman.

tpbm, remembers that song.

[catinthefunnyhat]

Nope... it came out 1 year before I did, and for some reason, I don't remember ever hearing it on the "oldies" radio stations.
Listening to it right now, though. So next time you ask me, my answer will be different

TPBM's pet has been naughty again.

[theCryptofishist]

Oh, she's been over the moon with Pride. Barely even putting in appearance all weekend. She's her father's daughter...
TPBM used to like Tony Orlando and Dawn.

[jella]

♫ Knock three times on the ceiling if you wannnnnt me ♪
Yeah I liked a few of their songs


TPBM knows all the words to every Willy Nelson song ever sang

[theCryptofishist]

No. I'm not sure that I know one.
TPBM can't believe that the EPA gave Willie Nelson an award for his bio-busses.
