Cooking Bacon with a Machine Gun



A simple but elegant solution to a common household problem: you have raw bacon, but you have no frying pan with which to cook it. You do, however, have a machine gun. All you have to do is wrap the bacon in tin foil, tie it around the barrel of your Rheinmetall MG 3, and fire off about 150 rounds (250 if you like it crispy). Step-by-step pictures at the link.

Let the anti-Americanism begin! I for one, would totally cook bacon this way but can't efficiently put that many rounds through my SKS in short enough of a time. So you nimby-bimby wussy cakes can just shove it.

Max Power, Natey- The MG3 is a definite German weapon.
And wouldn't you think that those German soldiers back in WW2 on the wintery cold plains of Russia wouldn't have tried that same trick just to get any warm food? Same goes for the Greeks that also use that weapon. Same goes for soldiers in the trenches of WW1.
Sure this could well be an American that put this trick on the Net, but he will not have been the 1st to think about this even by a long shot.

So bash Americans all you want, but then please do so equally with all those other users of machine guns...

This is only a HINT towards one of the possible directions thought your thoughts might take when you elaborate a subject. I might eat my 80 years old neighbour lady in times of a nuclear catastrophe or alien infiltration of the earth, but that wouldn't effect the quality of a cheering blog post about that practice at a later point.

And that's a very polite way of expressing this. Basically your attempt at intellectual abstraction mirrors a batch of unfocused relativisations, also known as a rant.

Furthermore I don't even mind that guy posting about his machine gun in his blog. I think it's a funny idea. It's your comment that disturbs me. The worthlessness of opinions is perfectly incarnated in "lol but other people use machine guns too, plz mention them as well", no matter how well you hide it beneath the coat of a contribution.

Maybe *that* is what I mean.

Over.

.. :P

Sorry Max- You lost me completely with your explanation.
I guess we're both speaking from a totally differentworld, since I cannot in the faintest see what perhaps eating your neighbour in times of disaster has to do with this guy that puts bacon on a machinegun.

For the latter I see a parallel with the folks who put food in alufoil on their car-engines while going out on long trips and I only commented that this guy not by a long shot wast the first- I am a European who on a regular bases uses a Minimi and before that a MAG and we've learn't that funny-field-trick from the guys in the platoon that came before us.

I only went against the US-Bashers around here because I get pretty sick about bashing any group for any kind of in my view misplaced stereotyping.
Reading back- Perhaps you reacted to the not having of a frying pan? Fine- my wrong. But the rest stands.

Is that about the direction you hinted at? Fine- Have a nice evening.

If you bash any other group/nationality, then you might as well have just kicked a puppy, but bash Americans and it's ok. This is the type of ignorance and stupidity that has soured me on Neatorama in the past.

Evilbeagle, you fail to understand the some fundamental rules of comedy. You can pick on your own side. The other rule is that we laugh about things we have in common. That is why farts are funny. Whatever faction you try to break Americans into , it doesn't matter for humor purposes because we are all Americans.

The general rule on comedy seems to be if you are offended chances are you are one a lot like the comedian than the people laughing.

Starsky Spasky... it takes a lot to offend me. For the record, I am an American living in the UK and get teased all the time, which is not a problem for me at all. I give as good as I get. However, commenters on Neatorama have a long history of maliciously bashing Americans. It's old, tired, and really not funny if ever it was.
