    Uh oh. It must be the heat. The three greatest words in the english language are "Wrapped In Bacon." Mainly because the bacon doesn't have hidden addendums. Oh, and is delicious. :)

    I think I'm with Josh on this one. Anything is better wrapped in bacon. And maybe topped with ranch.

    not to be depressing, but i agree with josh as well-and i'm a vegan. i would rather eat bacon than hear i love you.

    I was going to quote Depeche Mode...but after reading the lyrics, I decided it would be creepy. Anyhoo, you shouldn't have to tell someone that you love them. They should already know from your actions. Then, when you say it, it's just a nice conformation of something you already know (The worst thing in the world is someone who tells you they love you, but then prove that they only care about themselves by their actions). But, you can't say it too often, or it loses it's meaning. And you DEFINITELY can't say it because someone asks you to (or hints at it). Cause then it's just forced and doesn't mean anything and has cheapened the phrase. And that is why I responded with levity in my first comment. It's not that I don't care; I just don't think it will help you. Oh, and I really like bacon. :)

    you're right. you're always right josh. i just never usually want to accept what you're right about. and bacon is evil, but i love it anyways.

    Bacon is NOT evil! How dare you! You take that back, you bastard! :)

    Well, Cainnum, I love you.

    And, I don't buy into the notion that love is a limited resource of ambivalent value doled out in (contradictingly sacred) portions, so Josh can bite me.

    Hey, wait! I thought Veronica was a jaded and stuff! My world is turned topsy turvey!

    Hold on a sec. You've got me all wrong. I'm not saying that love is limited, ambivalent or sacred; I'm saying that when you try to reduce love down to WORDS it loses value. Love should be expressed, not tied down to a catch phrase. Meaning, that if I were to start saying it to anyone (hey mailman, good job on that mail...I love you) then when I said it to someone whom I truely cared about, it wouldn't mean anything because I say it all of the time. Similarly, if I tell a loved one "I love you" every five minutes, after awhile they would only hear the words and not the meaning (and conversely, after saying it so many times, I'm certain it wouldn't evoke the same feeling in myself). Love should be expressed, not a footnote to "We're out of milk."

    Lawrence said the same thing once. He complained that 'I love you' is so cliche that it doesn't have very much power. He said that when you say it to all you friends and relatives, it doesn't seem adequate when you actually FALL in love with someone, and that we need something stronger to really express how much more powerful that emotion is. We're like love addicts that're always jonesing for a bigger and better fix. That last part was my wisdom, not Lawrence's, just so ya know.

    I'll be honest. I love bacon, but in that friend way. Bacon is more like a good buddy. bacon wrapped around chicken bits and served to you on a skewer is the best though. Hell, meat served to you on a skewer at all is a blast. It's very Robert Jordan's "Conan is having a good day and is spending money" to me. That sounds weird, but is less weird if you're into that whole scene. Cainnum, I don't think we should wrap you in bacon if the bacon isnt sincere. We're about sincere bacon. Oh yeah, and Josh got his new 'puter. You should see it. It is what I believe the younger kids call "leet".

    [I love you] + [Wrapped in bacon]

    I wrapped you in bacon, love.

    I think it's funny how Cainnum's shortest post ever prompted the most comments. Most of which are unrelated to the actual text of the post. Crazy.
