Volumizing (not hair)

So at work I sit near someone that eats with their mouth open. I cannot stand to hear people eat. It’s a huge pet peeve of mine. I can hear every chew…each finger lick…and every lip smack. It’s maddening!
I turned the ol’ iPod up to 25% volume to drown it out but to no avail. This was gonna take some serious musicing* to overcome. Bad Brains and 60% volume to the rescue and I can safely enjoy my Hostess Cup Cakes** in peace. *phew*
I should say that the iPod was a gift that I never new I wanted until I had it. Aside from pleasing me on its own it has saved countless lives…from me. I just couldn’t live without it.

*Shut up. It’s a word now.
** Yeah I know they’re not really cup cakes. I hadn’t had them since I was 12 and they were in the front of the row in the vending machine. I decided to take a culinary trip down memory lane. Yup, still tasty.

Here's something to help drown out the chewing:

Here's the story,
Of a lovely lady,
Who was bringing up three very lovely girls.
All of them had hair of gold,
Like their mother,
The youngest one in curls.

Here's the story,
Of a man named Brady,
Who was busy with three boys of his own.
They were four men,
Living all together, but they were all alone.

Till the one day when the lady met this fellow,
and they knew they was much more than a hunch.
That this group,
Must somehow form a family.
That's the way we all became the Brady Bunch,
The Brady Bunch, the Brady Bunch
That's the way, we became the Brady Bunch.

(It's NoOprah's fault...)

Yeah but that didn't bother me. Plus I have an iPod with 2784* songs on it to drown that out of my head if it did get to me.

* so far because I'm lazy and don't have all my CDs on there yet.

What do you mean a 'Hostess Cup Cake' aint a cup cake??

It's a cup cake.

A darn fine cup cake.

bacon ace said...

Coming from the man that thinks that you can get real "tacos" at Jack in the Box.

Cake said...

"A darn fine...cake."

Aww shucks...thanks IANO. That was nice of you!

Feeling so bored at work i had to write you just to say that i saw you pic. and your sideburns (i don´t have no fucking idea if you call sideburn to hair over cheeks), turn my face to a pic of me 2 months ago and decided that a yankke can´t have bigger sideburns than me. Just wait 2 weeks, cabrón, and you´ll see. Nice taste in music by the way.

Davizcuervo. Spain

Bacon: Just for the record, in the last post I was not implying the cowgirl was imaginary.

Oh, and IANO is right. Hostess Cup Cakes are indeed damn fine.

Sparkle Plenty said...

HEY! Sideburn SMACKDOWN! COOL!!!!!!!!!!!!

bacon ace said...

Lois,
Yes, they are damn fine, though not actually "cup cakes" per se.

davizcuervo,
Damn man you're on! 2 months time. Be there amigo.
P.S. Psychobilly helps sideburns grow. Good luck.

Lois Lane said...

1. Okay. But then what is the "official" definition of a "cup" cake?

2. Will the sideburn smackdown be televised? Or possibly Sketchcasted?

bacon ace said...

Sketchcasted? That's up to Cake I suppose.

I Ain't No Oprah said...

WTF??? Why isn't a Hostess "cup cake" a cup cake?

This is one of those Bacon Ace things that he'll argue about.

It's a goddamn cup cake!!!

I Ain't No Oprah said...

It's a goddamn cupcake.

Congratulations, Mr. Ace...you win the "Make NoOprah's Head Explode" award of the day!

You can collect your bacon-flavoured cupcakes at the front desk.

bacon ace said...

Thanks Cake. wait, they're not Hostess brand bacon flavored cupcakes are they? Because bacon or not those wouldn't really be cup cakes.

Cake said...

Oh.

Lois Lane said...

I must be really hungry right now, because those bacon cupcakes don't sound all that bad...

asian cowgirl said...

So this is a repost for those who didn't catch the first one last week - from the slightly less than blog savvy but very real cowgirl.

*Thanks btw for the bacon cupcake.*

Howdy. So I know this is cyberspace, so there is always a chance I'm just a fabrication, but irregardless, for the sake of this blog, I felt compelled to emote. So yes, I exist. And this Baconmeister is my Man. True Blue.

Wild. Like Texas.

And as for me, other than Bacon and BBQ, I like sushi, Samurai, and know how to say "Hello, Beautiful" in Mandarin. And I was in a Chinese Lion Dance troupe in college. And it's true I have a horse. So That probably makes me as close to being an asian cowgirl as any asian cowgirl.

Happy one month and change Ace! :)
