    Were you about to ask me if I enjoyed the Dutch baby pancake I had for breakfast? Or were you wondering what I'll do with the bacon I baked in the 400℉ oven concurrently with the Dutch baby pancake? Assuming you were, shall I share that I'm thinking about crispy bacon bits in a buttermilk pancake with butter and pure maple syrup? 😋

    Can you believe my wife and daughter prefer CHEWY bacon over CRISPY? What kind of monsters do I live with?

    What's that saying, "there's no accounting for taste"? 😂

    How could I have gone all summer without a BLT and fried green tomatoes?

    Isn't it best to use common words except under exigent circumstances?

    Did you consider that an exigent circumstance, @AdahPotatah2024 , or were you just showing off? 😜

    Didn't a couple math nerds -- familiar with what "a googol" is -- think that would make a great name for their search engine? However, aren't the number of search results usually shy of a googol?

    And speaking of how to order a list of things, does anyone have (or want) a copy of this dictionary?

    Can you give us the Cliff Notes versions @frankwbrown ?

    Will I ever understand the allure of —gasp— chewy bacon? Would you believe someone I know likes his so chewy that the rest of the rest of us refer to it as “bacon sushi”? 😬

    Having not read that dictionary, would it be reasonable for me to surmise that the word "frequently", though used frequently, is not one of the most frequently used words?

    ROFLMAO, do you realize how loudly I laughed when I read this? Care to guess how many coworkers in my cubicle farm enquired what was so funny?

    Didn't I miss this post earlier?
    Bacon sushi... isn't that a recipe for how to ruin two delicious foods? 🤢

    Do you know another one? Has anyone ever been served raw shrimp? Isn't it sometimes risky to order Chef's Choice at a sushi restaurant?
  • frankwbrown

    Would you believe I once had raw prawns, head and all, right off a fishing boat in the harbour in Oslo, Norway? Don't I have doubts whether they were in fact raw or boiled on the boat? Didn't I need a lesson in how to dehead and devein the prawns?
    Since at the time the only way I would eat shrimp is battered and deep fried, wasn't I talked into this by a fellow American tourist saying how could I miss out on this opportunity, plus the fact that all the local Norwegians were doing it? 🦐😲🤔😋

    How detailed did you end up getting, @nossmf, when responding to their inquiry? Did you leave it at bacon sushi or did you expound upon the fact that many of us gather here regularly to ask question after question?

    When sharing this thread with non-threaders, are you required to comply with thread rules and use only questions during the explanation?

    If you played by those rules, were you successful?

    Who said I played by those rules? Can a guy simply ask a hypothetical question around here? ;-)

    How long do you think it would take your coworkers to catch on if only speaking in questions all day?

    Don’t we all have a habit of over complicating things? 😄

    Wouldn’t that not only be determines by the person’s cleverness and wit, but also by their ability to keep a straight face?

    Shall I try first with coworkers, or with my annual salary-review meeting?

    Could they possibly be intimidated with all your questioning and decide to up your salary even more?

    Don’t you think that might make them worry you might be spending a large part of your work day thinking up questions?

    Would that not be part of the job requirement for a think-tank? Could there be a more perfect job for any of us in this thread?

    Does that job exist, @nossmf ?! Where can I apply? Should my resume be made up entirely of questions??

    Why don't employers appreciate humorous and creative resumes?

    Is it possible they DO appreciate them for a momentary amusement, even if they ultimately reject them as not appropriate for the job they are trying to fill?
