@RiotDemon There is hot and cold smoking. Hot smoking does cook the food; cold smoking does not. There is also the application of liquid smoke which is generally similar to cold smoking. I have no idea what the other, totally artificial, methods of smoking do, tho I’d guess they don’t cook anything.
While I have no idea which type of smoking was used, the bacon I ate was closer to raw, tho not very fatty at all.
@therealjrn
I know he was the GoaT then, but you are cussing my birth month! Harrumph!
Apology might be accepted if worded to appease my sensibilities at this time.
@therealjrn I am glad you realize that October goats are specialized, although not an apology of said cussin of my month!
I need to be honest…
As far as being goat, I would be horrible! Lackluster, unhelpful, dull, unfunny, insert any other self deprecating adjective… an utter waste of a month and that could go to a better, more deserving Goat.
@therealjrn Don’t you think I know why you’re so quick to suggest this? You are comparing the “Previous Goats” to the ones that voted for YOU and are ready to nominate those left.
You cannot fool me with your sweet talk.
You had this planned out. Do not think comments made last month were lost on me. I saw this coming.
Hell, furthermore, just how long have you been working on it?
And I know you love this fucking place, sure don’t see you any where else!
Your personage has been mentioned.
@therealjrn I am so sorry you are having trouble. Have not seen you and felt like something was amiss. Sending all my prayers for your recovery. Let me have some word about you when you are able. Please take care!
@RiotDemon Nope. I’m lobbying real hard though. They’ve got me on IV drips of medications. The swelling has gone down significantly. Sorry for not piping up sooner @Calabama.
I’m not diabetic, fortunately, but even so, one should not ignore problems with one’s feet.
@therealjrn I am sure you have had more on your mind than to post. I am glad you let me know. It is so important to take care of your feet. Hope they have found the cause. Post when you can, I’ll be lookin for ya!

A classic avoidance attempt!
Hate to tell you, but you got all the right moves.
@CaptAmehrican@riotdemon - back 18 months ago someone posted they thought I was a young, geek guy and then realized they were wrong when I posted about the new baby. Negative on all 3. LOL
Bacon must be crispy. The brand of bacon is of utmost importance.
Confession- If I am too lazy to fry bacon for blt, I will use Real Bacon Bits. Also good in twice baked potatoes.
I keep bacon consumption at limited levels for health purposes but I love !
@Calabama Bacon, like all meat, needs to be cooked just enough. Crispy is too much. If you’re too lazy to fry, drop in the oven for 20 minutes while you determine where you’re allowed to pet a cat for that long.
@Pantheist Do not worry, I do not eat enough crispy bacon. How should it be? I don’t want soggy, floppy bacon. Now I don’t like burned so it is not too done. I’ll try the oven the next time I eat .
I do not have a cat that will let me pet them that long! One will bite!
Counterpoint: You’re also going to die if you don’t eat all that bacon. And the nine minutes it’s taking aren’t nine minutes from your twenties, they’re nine minutes from your 80s or 90s. Might as well go deliciously and just not find out the conclusion to that Matlock rerun later on.
@djslack The other day I was listening to a young lady go on and on about how wonderful it was that her stopping eating bacon had surely added years to her life and saved her from certain death. Ironically, I was sitting in Perkins listening to her drone on and on while she was eating a double cheeseburger and cheese fries. I pointed out that this too was saving her from certain death from starvation, until her next meal.
@djslack The opinion of many of the people who live in mom’s retirement center on eating the “forbidden foods” is that they are old. They have decided they will eat what they want and who cares.
Hear hear!
Clearly, your son must be on drugs. Have you considered an intervention?
From just reading the title, I thought you were going to ask a philosophical question about immorality. So many thoughts were running through my head.
I’m glad it’s about bacon. Bacon is easy to think about. Bacon is delicious.
I like my bacon crispy. How about you?
@RiotDemon I prefer crispy.
I’ve also eaten uncooked (only smoked) bacon… interesting flavor and texture… not bad, just a bit strange.
@RiotDemon I also prefer bacon with a pleasingly firm, dry, and brittle surface or texture.
I like how my keyboard auto corrected to immorality… Because I’d probably do some immoral things if I was immortal.
@baqui63 doesn’t smoking technically cook the bacon if smoked long enough? Or was it more like eating raw bacon?
@RiotDemon A pig like that, you don’t eat all at once.
@RiotDemon crispy please.
@RiotDemon Bacon is cured and lightly smoked or liquid smoke is added. It needs to be cooked. It can be hot smoked until cooked.

@RiotDemon I totally read immorality too. Peeked my curiosity but bacon is delicious. Peppered bacon well done but not crispy.
@jimmyd103 I actually read it correctly as immortality, but I meant when I posted, I wrote immorality.
@RiotDemon fucking October.
@therealjrn
I know he was the GoaT then, but you are cussing my birth month! Harrumph!
Apology might be accepted if worded to appease my sensibilities at this time.
@Calabama Hm…birth month of October? October goats are a very specialized breed…are you goat enough to do it?
ETA: He’s a she, sweets. lol. I fucking love this place.
@therealjrn I am glad you realize that October goats are specialized, although not an apology of said cussin of my month!

@Calabama you would be SO AWESOME.
ALL YOUR LIFE, you have been living up to this!
How do you feel about March?
In like a lion, out like a lamb? All that?
@therealjrn won’t be the last time someone thinks I’m a guy.
@RiotDemon You’re the best “guy” friend I have right now.

@Calabama Shoot Cal, I’ve just been busy. It aint like the folks can’t find me…I’ve been right here all along…
@therealjrn Now I can’t even find you! I know you are busy. You said you would be here. Are you okay?
@Calabama I’m in the hospital Cal. I’m having some trouble with my feet and ankles.
@RiotDemon everyone thinks i am a guy too
@CaptAmehrican didn’t you know? Everyone on the internet is a guy, even the ones pretending to be women.
@therealjrn I am so sorry you are having trouble. Have not seen you and felt like something was amiss. Sending all my prayers for your recovery. Let me have some word about you when you are able. Please take care!
@therealjrn they spring you out yet?

@Calabama Well, they just came and did a echocardiogram. My get-away might be delayed. shit.
@therealjrn SHIT! That sucks!
@therealjrn
Well shit. I’m horrified.
Doesn’t that often mean circulatory probs or something?
I hope it’s easily fixable. Hope your doctors fix things for you!
@CaptAmehrican
@RiotDemon
All my life. Including when I was young and all the govt had was my name.
@Calabama
A classic avoidance attempt!
Hate to tell you, but you got all the right moves.
Kinda like you were born to be Goat.
Congrats in advance.
@f00l GEE thanks. I would curse my buddy but he is ill!
@f00l Yes, I’m on blood thinners, diuretics and blood pressure meds now. Ooo whee!
@therealjrn
Have they figured out what’s causing this? Prognosis looking good, I hope?
@f00l Not definitively, but they’re doing tests.
@therealjrn We are praying for the best outcome.
The Greens that have read my note send their love and healing prayers. You know we love the stank out of you!
@Calabama Thank you Cal!

@heartny I sent this flow chart to my financial adviser.
@heartny poor web comic, replaced with an obviously malicious “Adobe Flash” download.
Probably just an integer overflow.

@CaptAmehrican Ohhh, thank you! That was delicious. I will not expect it everyday but do appreciate it today, BOAT GOAT!

If he was going to die in 2018 that means he ate about 15,884,800 slices of bacon. Did he eat it all on its own or with eggs?
@Pantheist 15,884,801 actually. Eggs are a whole other thread.
Counterpoint: You’re also going to die if you don’t eat all that bacon. And the nine minutes it’s taking aren’t nine minutes from your twenties, they’re nine minutes from your 80s or 90s. Might as well go deliciously and just not find out the conclusion to that Matlock rerun later on.

She was not amused.
