Y'know what America needs more of?

[Subsailor]

Alright, I tried to avoid it - What America needs more of:

Bacon, in all its myriad forms, styles and concoctions!

 

[GrogNerd]

I just ask them why we can't digest cellulose. The result of this is usually confused looks because they have no idea what that is.

that's easy... because our appendix is non-functional

someone who has studied anatomy could provide a more complete reason or argue that the appendix is minimally functional, but to an ignorant layman like myself, this makes the most sense

Folk singers?

 

[GrogNerd]

hipster ****** Irish folk bands

well... maybe not "needs" but they sure do seem to be overabundant

As pop music goes, it's better than the alternative...boy bands.

 

[danorocks17]

Topless women?

It's also fun to ask why are our eyes positioned for depth perception like predatory animals like the Cat, Dog, hawk, etc. Not positioned like a prey (aka a strictly vegetarian animal) like the Cow or deer.

Please don't ever post anything about Vegan (dare I say it) Bacon!

After reading the soap making thread on HBT I got curious and searched Etsy (online flea market basically) for bacon soap. The only ones I can find were vegan bacon soaps, none actually made with lard.

Does not compute in my tiny brain.

 

[CreamyGoodness]

Speaking of fat I just threw out my jug of fry oil. RIP Wesson Corn Oil jug, you saw me through countless batches of fries and fried chicken gizzards.

Actually... can you use old fry oil to make soap? Talk about a green idea!

Their friends pretending to be nutrition experts on facebook. /sarcasm

Oh just take the advice. I eat all of it and I'm not that overweight at all.

Off to my day job, I'm a nutritionist for Facebook.

Why, yes, you can! That's how all the big boys do it...Dial, etc.

Oh, and BTW, if you notice, it doesn't actually say "soap" on a bar of Dial. It is called a Dial "bar". That's because, in order to be called "soap", there are some specific processes and ingredients that are and are not allowed. The big producers don't find it cost effective and don't do it. So most solid soaps (those not sold by hippies at farmers markets, that is) are made of recycled veggie oils from fast food. You are scrubbing your face with old remnants of McNuggets.

--How's that for a visual, Creams?

Pfft. That's nothing. And frankly, not that gross either.

Try reading up on Castoreum:

Castoreum (pronunciation: /kæsˈtɔriəm/) is the exudate from the castor sacs of the mature North American Beaver (Castor canadensis) and the European Beaver (Castor fiber). Within the zoological realm, castoreum is the yellowish secretion of the castor sac in combination with the beaver's urine, used during scent marking of territory.[1][2] Both male and female beavers possess a pair of castor sacs and a pair of anal glands located in two cavities under the skin between the pelvis and the base of the tail.[3] The castor sacs are not true glands (endocrine or exocrine) on a cellular level, hence references to these structures as preputial glands or castor glands are misnomers.[4]

Today, it is used as a tincture in some perfumes[5] and as a food additive.

Food use
In the United States, castoreum as a food additive is considered by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to be generally recognized as safe,[11] often referenced simply as a "natural flavoring" in products' lists of ingredients.

Still enjoy raspberry flavoring?

 

[Goofynewfie]

I was reading the ingredients on a spice blend I was using tonight. in the ingredients it said natural flavoring. I thought " natural what flavoring?"


thanks.

 

[Billy-Klubb]

I'm fine with the beaver glands, but it is disturbing.

 

[Darwin18]

America needs more mobility scooters. That is all.

 

[morticus]

Hooters restaurants.

 

[argyle]

Zombies!

 

[Cider123]

Castor sacs

[landshark]

Vegan Bacon!!!!!!

People should eat healthier!

 

[b-boy]

There are plenty. It just looks like there aren't enough. They are all just concentrated in Walmarts.

 

[Darwin18]

I thought they were concentrated at Denny's. Do you know that you can order anything there with bacon?

 

[CreamyGoodness]

I have been to 4 and 5 star restaurants and some of the most interesting eateries in America and abroad, and I will say without embarrassment... Denny's is awesome. Anyplace where you can show up hammered within mere inches of your life and gesture your way to a plate of eggs is a-ok in my book.

 

[GrogNerd]

people should stop telling other people what to eat

 

[CreamyGoodness]

^ This. I don't even mind "here try this, its healthy and its good for your taint" or whatever.

 

[Darwin18]

I miss NY/NJ/CT diners....There is nothing comparable here, not even Waffle House.

My pet Facebook peeve is the plethora of "Share/repost/make this your status if you care about ____" posts.

They're narcissistic creations of people who just like to see their creations proliferate as widely as possible. And people fall for it, over and over and over.

If you want to see 1,000's of lemmings reposting something you made, here's the recipe:

1.) Start with a picture of a cute animal, or a short, sickeningly sweet story about a wounded soldier or some 5-year-old girl with terminal brain cancer who just wants to be a ballerina/princess. The story should be completely fake, as you can really stretch your creative legs and make it over-the-top heartbreaking when you're not constrained by the truth.

2.) Add a message to the picture or end of the story, something hopelessly idealistic and overly simplistic or totally impractical, like "If we all adopted just 3 African babies, we could end world hunger."

3.) Finish off by appealing to everyone's white guilt to spread the message, and imply that if they don't, then they must hate puppies/veterans/freedom. "Repost this if you think shootings like Sandy Hook need to be stopped."

Sit back and watch soccer-moms everywhere "Like" your post and share it.

I feel compelled to "Like" your post. But I don't believe in African babies.

Did it for you.

 

[GrogNerd]

I feel compelled to "Like" your post. But I don't believe in African babies.

I was conflicted over how I could answer this in the most snarky way possible

so, here's both:

#1 - that's OK, because African babies believe in YOU!

#2 - what, you don't believe that African babies exist?
