roar_bacon raze i don't follow hockey, but this is just too good. two weeks ago, the st. louis blues were losing a game to the chicago blackhawks. they were down three goals in the second period. they came back to tie (later they would win the game), and a scoring update was posted to the team's instagram page mid-game, celebrating the fight-back. autocorrect decided to wring some hilarious accidental poetry out of the situation. instead of roaring back from the brink of defeat, the blues "roar[ed] bacon". it went viral immediately. most of the hashtagging stuff that's all over the place now annoys me a little. it feels emblematic of the way language has devolved into some pretty skeletal shapes in the twitter age. but roaring bacon ... that's the sort of thing i can get behind. 151117 ... epitome of incomprehensibility A meaty roar! This made me grin. 151118 ... flowerock I pictured an obese man in an arm chair roaring "BACON!" With greasy drool running down his chin and onto his shirt... greasy and sweaty. 151119 ... e_o_i Okay, but don't be all like "fat people are gross." People's size isn't just about what they eat anyway. 151119 ... e_o_i Appleologies. I'm being grumpy. I should retire to my bedchamber and snooze off the workstress. I don't know if I like bacon or not. In whole strips it seems too salty and greasy and unappetizing. But cut up into small bits, it's great at flavoring salads and stews. (I guess that's how I feel about meat in general. Better broken up into little bits and added, like a spice, than as a main dish.) 151119 what's it to you? who go blather from
