Pigs are more awesome than you

[North_Ranger]

Your indestructible optimism has deflected my cynical jab. Good show

Personally, I couldn't keep a potbelly pig. I would be certain s/he would watch in horror everytime I cooked bacon.

 

[Cajungal]

I only cook turkey bacon, so no problem there. In all honesty, it's not the type of pet I could have right away. I want to move out of Louisiana for a while, and I wouldn't want a pet like that til I was somewhere I intended to settle. Still... I know that one day I will find my little Oscar Meyer.

 

[North_Ranger]

Ouch. Cruel name, that

And how things would play out at Casa del Ranchero del Norte:
"Hey boss, wanna play? I got a ball here with me and OH MY PIG GOD, WHAT ARE YOU DOING?! WHAT IN HEAVEN'S NAME ARE YOU DOING, YOU SICK FUCK?! Wait, I know that smell... UNCA BOB? UNCA BOB!! YOU FAT, BEARDED SONOFABITCH, YOU FRIED UNCA BOB!!"

I had a baby piglet once. A runty pig was born and the other piglets wouldnt let it eat so I got to bottle feed him. Me and my cousins would carry him around the farm and cuddle him. Finally he was big enough to go and live with the other pigs again. Which of course means that he met the same pig end that they all did. It was just one of those things but I still cried a lot about it.

*hugs*

I make sick, ruthless fun of many things... but not people's sorrow.

It just came to me. ^_^

OH MY PIG GOD

:laugh: This cracked me up!

 

[Cajungal]

Aw, makare, that's sad. I would have been upset too. Like you said, one of those things, but man...

Too bad he didn't have a little spider to help him.

You went there! *sniffle sniffle* Charlotte!

 

[Rob King]

Apparently the church I'm going to put off a Christmas musical a few years back with real farm animals. Jesus carried around a little lamb in one scene.

The actor named the lamb "Stu."

 

[makare]

Spiders are horrible things

 

[Rob King]

Because I just found this picture in my cousin's flickr photostream, and it seemed on-topic.

 

[Silver Jelly]

Just yesterday mu brother and his gf where talking about pigs as pets. Like in "where can I buy a pet pig". I don't know why, but I got scared...

 

[Rob King]

I believe I heard from someone that raising a pig in a residential area is illegal here. Which is weird, because there are no laws governing things like tigers.

Exotic pets are a municipal affair, which means unless it becomes a problem for the city of St. John's, I can keep any 'exotic' animal I want. Livestock apparently does not get the same luxury. They must be raised outside of residential areas by federal law, I have been told. Although, admittedly I'm not a lawyer, and I certainly haven't seen the legal wording of these things. So I could be very wrong.

 

[JCM]

JCM doesn't seem to hold that opinion

Actually, it needs to be UNDERSTOOD, before its followed. There are countless phrases in any Holy book, that taken out of context, can be made to mean anything else.

I follow all five pillars of Islam, also the pillars of faith, and avoid prohibitions (not only because they are rules, but because they make sense, but for fornication, sadly), I also wont marry four women, kill non-Muslims and try and convert my wife to Islam.

My apologies. But for the sake of clarity, would you have a problem with a Muslim eating pork (for example), given the understanding that it was a health reason that doesn't really apply anymore?[/QUOTE]

Everyone can interpret their religion how they want to, whether I personally agree with that or not doesn't matter. I may ask about a Muslim eating pork it but I won't go screaming "INFIDEL!!!!" and try to get him to say he is not a Muslim. That would be silly. Tolerance and all that. One of the big rules in the Quran (and most religions if they knew how to read) is "There shall be no compulsion in religion". You cannot force anyone to follow your rules or your version of what you think those rules mean.

I also wont marry four women

Was that ever a requirement, i thought that was just something you could do but didn't have to.[/QUOTE]

Polygamy is not condoned by the Quran, it was an exception to save them from certain death. (And you didn't have to, no.) In short, it was a "quick fix". Women had like no rights and no means of supporting themselves back then (it was wartime). They had often lost their husbands and if unmarried would simply die. Not nice, no, but women's rights were virtually non-existent when/before the Quran was being revealed. The Quran later rectified that with an entire chapter on women. Too bad most Muslims ignore that and still keep them as.. well.. slaves almost.[/QUOTE]Sorry for the late reply, but damn Im loving your posts.

While we might not follow Islam the same way, its good to see a fellow Muslim who actually bothers to read and understand things, instead of following others blindly.

I just realized, I eat turkey bacon. This whole subject has ceased to matter!

I actually really hate bacon. Proceed to burn me at the stake.

I like bacon, but I'm not crazy about it like some folks here seem to be. I prefer pork pulled off the bone and simmering in bbq sauce for an entire day then served on a toasted Kaiser roll with chips and a pickle on the side. Oh yeah dawg.

*edit* maybe I'm not crazy about it because I HATE cooking it. I hate smoking up the entire kitchen and smelling like bacon the entire day after that.

I don't like my meat crunchy. I like steak, no scratch that, I love steak. I can eat bigger steaks than my 25 year old brothers.. they weigh 95kg, I weigh 52. I just have a big mouth.
I'm a steak gal, simply.

Is there a Facebook group for Bacon Haters?

 

[fade]

If your bacon is all crunchy, somebody cooked it too long in my opinion.

 

[MindDetective]

Hell no. Bacon is BEST when crunchy! I agree on the smoky kitchen, though, Chaz.

EEP!

No, no, no... don't say that word. We don't talk about the S word!

 

[@Li3n]

Between JCM's and Ame's rants, my eyes went cross. I've seen drunk people make more sense.

It doesn't actually count if you where drunk too...

In this forums it's a pretty rare word.

I usually put my bacon between to pieces of Kitchenpaper place it into the Microwave and nuke it till it reached desired crispiness.Easy and withouth the whole mess.

 

[makare]

I cook my bacon in the George Foreman grill. It get's super crispy, alot of the fat drains out of it, and it doesnt smoke up the house.

 

[Frank]

I'm Canadian. I like maple smoked bacon.

I may have to just try that. Does it cook faster too?

I think so. And I like it super crispy but you dont have to cook it that way obviously. It can be any type of doneness. My stepdad likes his bacon pretty limp. Lol.
