No, there isn’t because even if you have enough that your sides hurt, there’s the [perfect analgesic](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thebacon) to make you feel well again. ---

Yes. But it sounds like more when you say it that way. It was only three rashers. And yeah, the extras were a mid-morning snack. 😉 ---

I LOVE Bacon. However, “de gustibus not est disputadum”. I also think redheads are superior sex partners, bu … uh… there you go. ---

Man, this thread bring back fond memories. The AFB I used to work out had a new deli/sandwich shop right outside the gate. IIRC they were a Boarshead distributor. Their subs/sandwiches were huge and cheap. Typically, I ate a half for lunch and kept the other half for most of my dinner that night. They had some great sandwiches. Had something called a Top Gun or sumptin with tobasco and lots of pepperjack cheese and corned beef that was the bomb. But, man o man, their BLT subs! It wasnt like a few strips you usually see elsewhere. It was more like half a package of bacon or more. How they made any money on the sucker was beyond me. I’d almost go into a bacon/fat coma for a few hours after eating half one of those. I have yet to get more bacon for the buck than I did at that place… ---

Sounds a little bit…unAmerican to me. Maybe your roommate is a terrorist sympathizer. ---

This heretic is obviously not worthy of your porcine gifts. Get a new roomate at once, and do not waste anymore of the blessed sacrament on this Philistine! ---

These are some examples of three words that may parse as a sentence, but are nonsensical: Pinkness Drags Oaks, Smoggy Chestnuts Bray, Too Much Bacon. ---

I’ve heard a similar phrase that I don’t understand either: “Too much garlic.” 😕 ---

What she meant was “That’s too much bacon (save some to eat plain)”. Obviously you can’t literally have too much bacon, but I like to save 3-4 slices to eat plain after a bacon sandwich/muffin. Really, you didn’t have _enough_ bacon. ---

Yeah, my roommate once put down a dessert I’d made and said “Too sweet.” I had that same Does Not Compute Moment, where the words made a non-concept. (Too much bacon = Too much sugar = Too much goodness = Too much hope) ---

That is awesome! The first time my sweetie and I overnighted at a hotel, the hotel breakfast buffet had bacon. I had a plate of bacon and some fruit. Apparantly that was the day my sweetie decided I was marriage material. 😛 ---

I make 9 slices of bacon for breakfast on weekends (Fri, Sat, and Sun). Why 9? Because only 9 will fit on my microwave bacon cooking thingy ☹ One up top horizontally, 7 vertically across the middle, one horizontally across the bottom.
