Is that a euphamism for "office banter"?

We all have bacon-on-the-brain figuratively, why not literally too?

If you want to turn every person on the planet into vegetarians, make everyone work a shift in a slaughterhouse.

What a woeful tail! I ham certainly shocked to hear all the swineing about production speeds. I'm not sure about the doctors methods, but perhaps their diagnosis is misbacon?

Having RTFA, it appears that the real culprit was the line speed.

Not true. My experiences at a slaughterhouse didn't deter me from eat lots and lots of meat.

Do I get to keep what I kill by the end of the shift, or just until my cart is full?

My cubicle is right outside the woman's bathroom here. I can tell you I have neurologic damage from the pigs that go in there and mist.

Hell no, that's what keeps Fark going. It's only too bad it couldn't be illustrated with Photoshop; maybe take some face shots of the victims and paste them onto the torsos of slaughtered pigs, but like at odd angles, and with blood splattered all over and chunks of their faces missing, and then paste them individually into little chairs (slump them over or have them fallen over on to the floor) under a scribbled "Coffee" sign, and then have an employee standing nearby behind the counter saying, "Oh no, my central nervous system!"

At slower speeds, he said, workers were able to use compressed air to blast the brains down out of the head and into a bucket under the table.

"But it sounds as if as the line speed increased, the operator was not able to handle the process properly and as a consequence this material was being directed in all directions," Lachance said. "That's our best estimate of what was really going on."


Wasn't this an I Love Lucy episode?

Lucky for me I didn't get that cup of coffee before I read your post. Otherwise you'd be owing me a new keyboard and a 23" Apple lcd.

Sorry nope. slaughtered lambs as a summer job in 1984 and 1985. Quite possibly the stupidest fur bearing animal alive. getting eaten is what they deserve.

It's probably a lot more common than we realize and a lot of the Alzheimer's cases are probably just some form of TSE that takes decades to manifest.

For there to be a mist of brain tissue at my job, there would have to be brains present.

Leonard_Cohen: If you want to turn every person on the planet into vegetarians, make everyone work a shift in a slaughterhouse.

Worked on a hog farm for most of my life.

I have been bitten, kicked, stomped on, rammed, sneezed/pooped/peed/bled/(insert any kind of bodily fluid here) on. I have seen pigs tear apart the weaker of their kind, eat their own young (there is a reason they are put in gestation crates, this is one of them), eat a raccoon, an various other things.

The top offender of the list was when accident hit a dead hog carcass with a hoe and split it in two, like a knife through warm butter, its rotting flesh and internal organs spilling out on the ground. I have the smell of burnt hair and flesh mixed with deisel fumes from the incinerator that we use to dispose of the carcasses (I would average at least one dead 100lb hog per day)ingrained into my nose. I had to clean up afterbirth, pro-lapse (if you don't know, you don't want to know), testicles from castration, various other things. I have seen two bodied hogs (with one head), hogs with no anus, and various other deformaities, boils, sores, and other stuff.

And lets not mention the miles and miles of manure I have had to work through in my lifetime.

Bacon still tastes the same. A loin is still delicious, a ham is still tender, and sausage is still prefered breakfast meat.

The meat producing business is not pretty, raising, butchering, processing, it is all a disgusting business, I will agree to that. But I don't think you give people enough credit to what they can stomach. We have been doing it for thousands of years, and we will do it for as long as we are around.

Why? Because it is delicious.

The funny thing is, I can't stand to see human blood/feces/internal organs, but if it is an animal, it is no big deal.

/Learned not to talk to vegetarions at an early age, its a shame too because they can't all be bad
//Just the pushy, holier than thou ones, which seem to be the only ones I meet.
