I thought it was time to bump this thread...let's all revel in the GOOD things about dinghy and his transit job!

Beer/weed/crack--yeah, baby!

(truthfully, I had some friends at work asking about this..back when this was initially posted, I sent the link to a ton of people, it amused me so and they wanted to revisit the laughs and, really, why shouldn't we all?)

Happy Friday!

And remember: Relax.

I think he's the one to whom Obama was referring when he said "pigs in lipstick"...

Thanks for bringing the Lionel, Schwa.

I still like you.

Maybe Basher just has realy femine hands?

Tell that to his vagina.

There seems to be an implication in this thread that transit workers are grumpier, as a workforce, than other professions.

I think that's an erroneous and unfair assumption.

I believe that the percentage of assholes in any given profession is relatively similar...concurrent with the percentage of assholes in the population at large.

There are, of course, exceptions to this rule..professions that seem to entice assholes to them, where there seems to be a proliferation of dicks.

I have no scientific evidence on which to base these theories, just empirical data gleaned from a lifetime of assholic observation.

I said "Hi" to the bus driver this morning and he didn't say anything back. Should I have kicked him off my bus?

Is that a euphemism?

Now that's what I call a straight flush!

How long you been waiting to use that one, Chad?

Ah, what a way to start the morning.

Are you adding dialogue to the pic so folks can more easily feel like they're THERE?

Nerdlinger.

Bloom, eh? Double-congrats, are in order!

Can you get Lino's to reopen for the reception?

If the bus isn't crowded, I always get off at the front of the bus, just so I can say thanks and goodbye to the driver.

Yeah! You tell 'em, dinghy! Go ahead, put on your headphones and don't take any shit from anyone!

You can't put your ballot in the ballot box if dinghy's hand is covering it...

What about with a little hot sauce and tamari?

Please don't encourage him. I just got him to stop gnawing on the sofa cushions.

Yeah, man. Relax.

I don't care whether you're a fan or not..my boss just told me to get rid of the tickets...

This Friday, however, they're playing Winnipeg. Sorry, Sheebs.

Ollie: I don't even know where to begin. Probably better I just move on.

Dave: Check back with me in October if you're still interested in tickets.

One tip I got from my doctor when I was in astronomical pain from a back injury that rendered me virtually unable to move for days (and practically immobile for weeks) was that acetaminophens (Tylenol) and ibuprofens/naproxens (Advil/alleve) work at killing pain differently--so if you take one or the other and it's not sufficiently killing your pain, you can take one of the other variety, safely, at the same time.

That may be common knowledge, but it was news to me and very much appreciated.

Hey--I have 2 free tickets to this Friday's Argos game if anyone's interested!

I heard they just acquired a new head coach--that's gotta be exciting, no?

Thought I'd give it a shot...

Don't get stuck playing catch up!

An ominous & heartfelt warning from Guru Ollie...

Shut up, Pacey. I didn't come here to be ridiculed and mocked by insignificant dolts. I came here for intelligent discourse about bacon & other smoked meats--is that so wrong?

Despite the prodigious evidentiary support cited by the Baconians, I am a firm believer in Mr. Shakespeare's talents and the legitimacy of his works.

Well, until there's a Bacon-Only Forum, this thread will have to suffice for all bacon-related posts.

Why is it that I--she who is uninterested in bacon, except in a kinky sexual sense--always happens upon the odd, bacon-related stories?

Anyway...

Anyone for a bacon-infused cocktail with their bacon-covered chocolate?

Mmm... bacon (and more..)

Bacon-flavored vodka? Now you’ve heard it all.

“Everything is better with bacon. It’s one of my favorite foods,†said Don Yovicsin, the owner of Jake’s Dixie Roadhouse in Waltham. “So when one of my friends mentioned the idea of bacon and vodka, it piqued my curiosity.â€

He fried a batch of Niman Ranch thick-cut applewood-smoked bacon, added the crispy bacon to a large infuser jar with Absolut vodka, then let it sit for four weeks. After the liquor was smoky, he filtered out the bacon pieces with cheesecloth, chilled the vodka to congeal the bacon fat, then removed it via coffee filter.

The remaining smoky liquor was bottled and put behind the bar, where Jake’s is serving it in a variety of cocktails.

“The clear winner has been our Bloody Mary,†said Yovicsin. “It’s too perfect with the smoky bacon flavor.â€

Recipe: THE BACON BLOODY MARY

1 1/2 oz. bacon-flavored vodka

6 oz. Bloody Mary mix

Barbecue rub

1 Slim Jim

1 lime wedge

Mix the bacon-flavored vodka and Bloody Mary mix together. Rub rim of tall glass with barbecue spices. Pour mix into glass. Garnish with Slim Jim and lime wedge.

Makes 1 cocktail.

Man, it's really too bad this opportunity has passed...I can think of a few folks 'round these here parts who could have made a few extra bucks answering this particular ad on Craigslist!

Seeking Adult Drunk Clown for 30th Birthday party

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Date: 2008-08-26, 3:22PM CDT

We need an Adult Drunk Clown who is good at getting drunk and stupid.

No need to do any clown tricks, just hang out and drink a shit load.

We will be hopping around to different bars and want a clown to tag a long and drink heavily. He doesn't even need to socialize with anyone, just drink.

The birthday is on Friday, Sept. 5th in Bucktown.

Oh, did I mention that the clown needs to get shitfaced?

Don't worry, we will purchase all the drinks.
