Oh my.

The long-suffering maternal ancestress of the Bostonian Drunkard:

I want bacon! No, what I really want is for the snow to stop.

No, I want both! That thread about bacon killed me because I'm stuck here in a snowstorm and I don't have any damn bacon. I always get a craving for something I don't have in the house when I can't get out to get it. s h i t

Now, franksolich, an aficiando of Amy Vanderbilt, Letitia Baldridge, and Emily Post, has a question about manners and etiquette.

Is that last word in the carpetbagging maternal ancestress's original post appropriate for a 62-year-old woman, ostensibly refined, a professional woman, a woman born and bred amongst Boston's finest, to use?

1. heh. I'm home from work today - they closed due to snow not snowing here anymore, but we got about 7 inches - which is rather a lot for this area. It happens at least every couple years, but...I get the feeling the state DOT isn't very well-equipped for such big storms.

So...I'm stuck at home without Dr. Pepper - I may send my wife out in the stuff to pick some up.

(note: she's talking about going out - I'm not forcing her to go...just in case someone thinks I'm that evil)

2. I have a ton of food in this house but NO BACON!!!!! :-)

In case one doesn't know this, the carpetbagging maternal ancestress is city attorney for some small town in New Hampshire.

3. yum

I'm iced in but you just reminded me that I do have some bacon on hand..

Oh, I'm sure the carpetbagging maternal ancestress can just hop into the car and drive a fourth of a mile to the nearest supermarket; it's not like New Hampshire's a really big place, things scattered far apart.  She could probably even stroll there in a couple of minutes.

It's not like New Hampshire's as vast as Texas or central Asia.

4. Damn! This is now driving me crazy!!!!!

Here we have a classic Freudian case of "misdirected anger," which proliferates among the primitives. 

They don't want to be angry against what's really bothering them--in this case, the Bostonian Drunkard--and so they get angry at something else utterly unrelated.

There's a reason why patriotism is considered a conservative value. Watch a Tea Party rally and you'll see people proudly raising the American flag and showing pride in U.S. heroes such as Thomas Jefferson. Watch an OWS rally and you'll see people burning the American flag while showing pride in communist heroes such as Che Guevera. --Bob, from some news site

But I thought Yankee's didn't pay any attention to snow? ....didn't slow them down at all.

Never been to New Hampshire, but it might be a lot like Vermont. Where I live, there is a little general store you can trudge through the snow to get bacon, but that package of bacon would probably cost you $7.99, and chances are that the date on the package would be December 19, 2008. The next place you can get bacon is much more reasonably priced (and fresher), but much further away. There is a Price Chopper in Champlain NY, and one in St. Albans VT. Both are about the same distance, 20 miles in either of two directions. In heavy snow, you really want bacon bad to make that trip.

But actually, I have at least five pounds of bacon in my chest freezer, so for me, the problem is thawing it out, and still having a craving for it when it is done thawing.  :-)

Guess she needs "bacon in a can"http://www.mredepot.com/servlet/the-364/Yoder%E2%80%99s-Celebrity-Canned-Bacon/Detail

And then she could curl up with a good book about how Global Warming is melting the icecaps while the snow pummels into her hovel.

Well, Frank, saying "Boston's finest" is kind of like saying "Tallest midget" or "Best-smelling turd."
