if the only certaintys in life are the things which are said to be the only certaintys in life, and these don't include the certainty that the saying 'the only certaintys in life are...', then they can't be certaintys, can they? I'm boared.

No wonder you're boared. It's all that bacon you eat.

Ooo! I doubleposted! not seen that happen since.... years and years ago...

I had bacon today, and yesterday, for the first time in over two months! Recently I've been on a bit of a cheese and duck egg (sometimes both together, some times simgularly), thing, since err... end of last year oh, and ham... I've remembered ham is nice, after finding somewhere that sells edible nice ham Now, if I could only be buttocked to get up I could go have a cup of hot choc... or some toast... or just sit somewehre else with nothign to do

Bacon is not one of life's certainties. On the plus side, we've got that straightened up within the first five posts of this thread. Sometimes it take a lot longer....

That is one of life's great questions answered in forty-two posts or less! ... I think this probably deserves some kind of award... maybe the golden bacon sandwich award!

No, no, the answer cannot contain bacon. Would you consider deep-fried tofu instead?

No bacon?! err.... ahh haa! how about a celibratory award of a ham sandwich! that isnt' bacon....

I don't know, if you eat 8 and two fifths pieces of bacon, you have 42 letters and a pretty good life...

I think it was Socrates who said, 'bacon breedds life and life breeds bacon, happieness ensues #bacon'
Which is odd, because I thought twitter was a relatively new thing

"how about a celibratory award of a ham sandwich! that isnt' bacon...." [2:egs]

I'll let you have the ham sandwich if you'll spell "celebratory" right.

celebratory? a celebratory ham sandwich, with mustard and bacon and cheese and a fried egg! and mayo....

Now that sounds like a sandwich worth celebrating,
but don't forget the tomato and lettuce, pray.

~jwf~

How true! It can't be a proper sandwich without the totomoto and lettuce spray! and a gherkin, and some mozarella, and salami, and sliced cold sausage, and spring onion damnit... I love sandwichs... I think I'm pretty good at making them too... I should* have been the Sandwich maker!

That sounds like a good sandwich, 2Legs.

The only certainties in life are;

Taxes.

Heartache.

Death.

Ahh.... but if indeed they are certaintys, then they cannot, be the only certaintys, as another certainty, must be, itself, the statement which says those things are certaintys... I think

That's a good point, 2Legs. Be sure to wrap it in something, or you might injure someone with it. :-0

I shall wrap it.. carefully... in a cacoon of smoked cheddar.... which in turn will be protected by a delicate layer of sausage meat.... which, to protect it in turn, must be carefully wrapped in more cheese, some salami, a final layer of cheese, and a double bacon layer on the outside, one of back bacon, and one of streaky bacon...

You don;t need to waste any food blunting the sharp point. Just use a fuzzy non-sequitur.

the outer ring of a standard two-ring, manafold gasket, if lined sucessfully with some acrylic resin, can be attached inwardly to the reverse side of the table leg, thereby preventing any undue dog interception of the tins of sardines, as they cross the floor...
