Also: Tactical bacon is a real thing.

@FrostCat Right; but what makes it tactical instead of, say, "canned bacon"?
If I have a can of chicken noodle soup, is it tactical chicken noodle soup? Why or why not?

Probably lacking the assault rifle silhouette on the packaging.

"tactical x" is either a joke or a sign the namer has mall ninja syndrome. "We can put pockets on this vest shaped to hold [insert famous gun] magazines and call it a tactical vest and charge 50% more!" IOW, marketing to the gullible.

Tsk. If you don't know, you should assume it's not an assault rifle, but a semiautomatic, you fearmonger you.

Nah, I think if they can call it "tactical bacon" then I can legitimately call it an assault rifle.

Unless you know it is fully automatic you are making Wayne LaPierre cry. And probably Tamara Keel, but maybe not.
You're like Hillary Clinton, referring to a fetus
non-viable tissue massas a person.

@FrostCat Ok you're done. Out of the thread now.

I think that bacon would be more fun with an automatic so he can cry all he wants.

The indoor range I compete at has a couple cans of tactical bacon for sale. I'm pretty sure it's just a gag gift. It never sells.

You can deploy it over a much more precise area than regular, large-scale bacon.

Sounds like they are targeting a different audience then spam

They should reduce the price.

@dkf what should I price a blister pack containing 1 piece of gravel at?
-
There are even verified reviews saying how good it is...
Since when did we give up on negative reviews?

Can you throw it at ISIS soldiers?
Sure. I'm not sure what effect it would have.

Probably rather less than a can of artist's shit, that's for sure.
Besides, do you really want to compete against the 1970s Preservation Society's monopoly on Pet Rocks?

Hey, if cookie tins can work against ninja, why not try tactical bacon against suicide bombers? We've got this guy who blew up a bus last year down the hall in interrogation, you can use him for target practice.

@ScholRLEA Oh, WRT that song, take a look at lines 200-207 and 357 of this game from Dave Ahl's classic 101 BASIC Computer Games.

@FrostCat They can't even eat it.
-
@AyGeePlus It's like that MST3K where Observer is trying to convince his buddies that he can still be evil, and so he gives Mike a tie as a gift and explains it as "evil" by saying: "don't you see what a terrible gift a tie is!?" while missing the point that giving gifts, no matter what they are, is not evil.
It's exactly like that.

Nonsense. All they'd have to do is find an imam to declare a fatwa saying it was OK. The 9/11 hijackers relied on fatwas saying (roughly) that all your sins are forgiven if you die a martyr, so they spent a lot of time right before that day going to strip clubs, boozing it up, partying in general, because they felt they had a "get out of hell free" card.

"Please accept this Mogwai that was couriered to you at 11:59PM, and hasn't been fed in two days, and has a sandwich in a box with a timer set to open it at 12:01 AM".
-
@FrostCat See that always bugged me because it's always after midnight.
-
@blakeyrat Remember, Mogwais have excellent watches and good knowledge of local DST change regulations.
-
@dkf Even when I was like 8 years old and watching that, I was like, "dudes, the after midnight rule makes no sense. It's always after midnight. You need a second boundary, like maybe they mean after midnight but before dawn? But all they ever say is after midnight and that's gibberish."
Completely takes you out of the movie.
-
@FrostCat Why bother? It's tactical bacon. At best it tastes like spam.

I'll call this a tactical retreat
