Received Bacon?

[Businessocks]

So on the hand dryer in a restaurant here, someone wrote "receive bacon" by the squiggly lined picture that is supposed to represent the warm air blowing out.  I didn't think much of it, other than the lines look like bacon.

NOW I see (I think it's thumpa...something (sorry)) "has received bacon" under his avatar.

So, please tell me the meaning of this statement.     Thanks.

I think it refers to the internet meme since the graphic on a hand dryer in most restrooms has the air coming out of the device looking like strips of bacon:

Yes, Squid, that's what the dryer looks like here!  When/where did that start/originate?  Anyone know?

It's always good to know your memes :

fyi, not all the rank titles mean something....quite a few are simply silly.

Thanks, I totally get that, Whitney.  I was just more struck by how the phrase that is here in a bathroom showed up on a form.  I was uninformed enough to think that *my* receive bacon was the only one.    That's why I was asking.

I thought it meant you'd had Francis Bacon as a house guest.

I TOTALLY THOUGHT THE SAME THING...but was too embarrassed to admit it...

[Sophus]

I thought it had something to do with this:

[Businessocks]

Sophus, I've never seen that before.  It looks like an odd photo-shopped picture (look at the leg and the odd head-to-shoulder proportions.)

Anyway, very interesting.

Maybe Satan uses hand-dryers to slow cook the sinners.

I thought it had something to do with this:

Oh, yes, I want that sign on my wall...and at a parade.

If it's photoshopped, it's very well done.  The shadows all fall parallel.
