Happy Atheist Forum

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...

I thought it had something to do with this:

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.

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.

I think the shop job is just the wording on the placard.

It looks like they needed more space, too, and had to extend the picture.
The bottom half of the billboard looks somewhat two demensional, some of the grass is blurred oddly, and the legs are completely messed up.

That, or maybe they just blended the colors in the legs. I don't know why anyone would do this.
