| Homer Simpson said it so well: "I'd be a vegetarian if bacon grew on trees." |
Years ago a friend oh-so-randomly filled a pause in the dinner party conversation by remarking, "Frick, bacon's expensive!"
Well! You probably had to be there to fully appreciate this, but we laughed all night about his well-timed but left-field declaration and FOR YEARS NOW, whenever there's a lull in the game-night or supper discussion, someone inevitably drops this arbitrary statement and we laugh and laugh again.
Dear friends, I hope you and your pals have inside jokes.
Sharing common memories is wonderful.
ReplyDeleteSharing bacon is another matter.
Ha. Well said.
DeleteNo inside jokes that I can remember right now but I am concerned about the bacon. Do people actually share bacon? Is that a thing?
ReplyDeleteHa, not much; it's too expensive!
DeleteMemories like that are precious and the laughter just as fresh as the first time.
ReplyDeleteYes they are.
DeleteOh we sure do. Many at my expense but they are damn funny. I got my former SIL a bacon of the month club. I kept the T-shirt. It read, "Bacon, the gateway meat" My vegetarian friend was the only one who got it.
ReplyDeleteThe "gateway meat," lol.
DeleteBacon: it's all about the salt, just like butter is. Take out the salt, ya got nuthin. -Kate
ReplyDeleteExactly.
DeleteI haven't had bacon in years, way to salty for me.
ReplyDeleteGood on you for avoiding the salt and its side-effects. I'm too weak.
Delete...everything is better with bacon.
ReplyDeletePretty much.
DeleteI really enjoy bacon, but eat it sparingly. That makes it a real treat.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely a treat for us too.
DeleteIt’s more my wife and I who have inside expressions. When we say Lewis it is short for bloody hell because Morse so frequently said, “Bloody hell, Lewis”, Lewis being his sidekick. But you probably don’t know either Morse or Lewis, so it doesn’t make any sense to you, and I should just shut up now.
ReplyDeleteYes, the innermost circle inside jokes are quite special.
DeleteI like my bacon very crisp, but not burnt. I rarely get it that way at fast food breakfast places though. But soooometimes, it's perfect.
ReplyDeleteJust how I like it too, but I will enjoy it other ways when necessary.
DeleteYes, please. Extra crispy. Speaking of, I went out to breakfast with an acquaintance once, and he ordered his bacon the opposite way—extra limp. I've never seen anyone do that before. Honestly, it kinda skeeved me out.
ReplyDeleteFlaccid bacon? Nope.
DeleteJokes amongst friends and family is fun. Agreed.
