You got engaged at 21?

Yep.. Oh well..

Someone needs to collect all of infinite zest's personal stories on PoeTV into one big crazy biography.

People threatening to eat food because of some childish mass-mob review social justice warriors?

That's the most evil thing? I do believe I see an IRA car bombing video not one page-scroll's length from this very video.

Oh and make no mistake these people are obviously trying to cash in on some bullshit and they are clearly annoying pricks, let me get that crystal clear right away.

I didn't watch all of it. Did they threaten to feed the baby bacon?

I kind of turned it off because it embarrasses me when people stumble over words and this guy makes Tobias Funke look eloquent and composed.

They didn't feed the baby bacon. They pulled a toddler into the shot and tried to feed him bacon, but the kid seemed more into playing with it than eating it.

worst is a different concept that evil.

it's interesting you compared this to terrorism though,

War Nerd wrote an essay about how the banality of modern life radicalizes rational westerners and I can't think of a more banal awful expression of modern western life than this.

It gives my life some meaning, ok?

Its pretty much over. There are a few lame-o dweebs who still cling to it. I never bought into it. I like bacon, but its hardly the star of the show. I can eat a good 20 ounce steak, but the thought of eating 20 ounces of bacon makes me sick. Its too fatty, its too salty, its not filling. Bacon is a side. Bacon is a topping. Bacon is terribly overrated.

Oh shut the fuck up, just because a bunch of people made annoying bacon memes doesn't mean it isn't still an amazing food. It's better as a topping than anything else, IMO. Though I do love some thick cut applewood smoked bacon from the fancy grocery store up the street.

I love bacon as a topping. Think of its role in a burger along with the tomato and pickle. Bacon = tomato and pickle.

Guy tells me to shut up, then admits the bacon craze was annoying. Makes sense.

There were bacon memes? What the hell is going on?

I have never liked bacon. Up until Gmork's bizarre outburst this wasn't something I'd ever been proud of.

Homer where have you been the past 5-ish years?

The internet won't shut the fuck up about bacon. It's one of the most overdone, obnoxious internet fetishes I can think of.

(4 stars because the enemy of my enemy is also my enemy, fuck these people)

WHAT?! That's just stupid! I hate to call bullshit on KnowYourMeme, but... bullshit! Bacon is a food, not a meme.

What websites are bacon memes popular on?

... or is this one of those meatspace memes (harhar), like the Ninjas Vs Pirates thing was back in the day? I usually ran across Ninjas vs Pirates memes from nerds I knew IRL, but I do not socialize with nerds anymore, which may at least partly account for my complete ignorance of bacon memes.

I blame those epic meal time dorks!

Bacon, like mullets, cat jokes, Chuck Norris, doge, and all sorts of other bullshit my mind refuses to dreg up are the bland, inoffensive, derivative jokes that take the place of something like Jay Leno for people under 40. There's never going to be a generation that doesn't love easily digested comedy.

I've never encountered bacon as a meme on the internet, but it's become pretty common on TV. I remember a joke from That Seventies Show that refers to bacon as "The Devil's Candy". Hilarious, right?

>> I can eat a good 20 ounce steak, but the thought of eating 20 ounces of bacon makes me sick. Its too fatty, its too salty, its not filling. Bacon is a side. Bacon is a topping. Bacon is terribly overrated.

Would you eat 20 ounces of chocolate? As a side, and a topping, it's not overrated. Just a little bit can work magic. Some bacon, molasses, onion and ketchup can turn a 45 cent can of pork and beans into an extravagant comfort food. Sautéed spinach with bacon and onions is incredible.

I have a T shirt that says "I'd wrap that in bacon." I didn't buy it because I thought it was hilarious. I bought it because I like bacon.

That's a pretty stupid question to be asking candidates to begin with. Did they get to weigh in on on their favorite color?

We have kale. Gloriously overrated kale.

Kale sucks, dude. Sweet potatoes are pretty good, but for a vegan meme food, I'm going for something less weeny, like the sweet and sour chicken they serve at the various vegan Chinese places or the fake lamb claypots.

Id say just the tofurkey bacon, because it sucks. True Kale story: they were asking Portland mayoral candidates what their favorite food was, and one of the candidates founded a local supermarket (think whole foods but more expensive) and everybody else said Lobster, Steak, etc. and she said "kale." Her popularity took a huge drop and that's why we have a shitty mayor. Because kale.

Shit. Why do I keep fucking up the reply?

That's a pretty stupid question to be asking candidates to begin with. Did they get to weigh in on on their favorite color?

It's a dumb question but it's pretty standard; I mean it wasn't at a press conference but just some random off-the-cuff question that an interviewer asked: I remember there was some controversy with Obama in the primaries, he talked about South Chicago and how much he loves The Black Sox, and was asked what his favorite player was and he couldn't name one current player.

Yeah, I'm quite interested in how that happened myself.
