There were no survivors.I wonder if when mom said you are getting too big for your britches, if anyone has ever said, well, you need to buy me bigger britches!
I've never heard of it or maybe they didn't live to tell about it.

What was/is it then?View attachment 98387
This would be twice as funny if Trump is aware of the fact "Canadian bacon" is not Canadian and never has been.

Plaigerized from Wikipedia:
Canadian bacon (or Canadian-style bacon) is the term commonly used in the United States for a form of back bacon that is cured, smoked and fully cooked, trimmed into cylindrical medallions, and sliced thick. The name was created when this product was first imported from Toronto to New York City. "Canadian" bacon is made only from the lean eye of the loin and is ready to eat. Its flavor is described as more ham-like than other types because of its lean cut.
The term "Canadian bacon" is not used in Canada, where bacon made from pork loin is known as "back bacon" while "bacon" alone refers to the same streaky pork belly bacon as in the United States. Peameal bacon is a variety of back bacon popular in Ontario where the loin is wet cured before being rolled in cornmeal (originally yellow pea meal); it is unsmoked.

George Chuvalo died yesterday on his 89th birthday.
I remember watching a replay of his boxing match against Muhammed Ali. I had no idea who George Chuvalo was. When the match was over, I said what the fuck, that white guy beat Ali! But by score they awarded the win to Ali.
One of the older guys at the Legion where I was watching this re-run fight on T.V said you never seen this fight before?
No.
That's George Chuvalo. He did win but the score was in favor of Ali.
I later learned more about Chuvalo. Chuvalo said after the fight Ali went to the hospital and Chuvalo went out dancing.
I didn't know at the time that George went to the same Italian bakery that I went to, to buy the big eatalian sangwidges.
I never got to meet him.

But it was originally imported from Canada so calling it Canadian isnt really wrong.
Calling it bacon is wrong. But my point stands that you have it up there you just don't call it the same thing.

We Americans may have some inaccurate names for things, but at least we don't have a food called "spotted dick" like our weird-ass friends across "the pond".

Even in a shunt truck I rarely blindside. Here is why.
There is no upside to it. You can blindside 100 times and no one says a word. Fuck it up just one time and you never hear the end of it and have real problems!
Better to go around a sightside it. Paid by the hour and safety bonus.

No lies detected. Blind side only when it's not an option.
When my regular customer tries to make me park in a blindside spot I fight them like a cat taking a bath. I only do it when I have 3 open spots around my target.
I blindsided more often with the day cab because it had a huge rear window. No damn way I'm doing it with the convex mirrors on the sleeper.

I was at "the dump" yesterday which is just a transfer station. It's just a big pole barn in Kankakee where garbage trucks & contractors with dump trailers unload their trash. Then a giant wheel loader scoops it up into 48 foot dump trailers and a yard jockey with an old raggedy looking Ottawa pulls them out and parks them somewhere and gets an empty one from somewhere and puts it back in the dock.
Seems like an easy job for the yard jockey.
But the whole place is full of old garbage trucks that have been there for years.
Most of them are sky blue "City of Chicago" equipment but one of them said Miami-Dade County on it & another one was from Arizona.
Anyway there's barely enough room for pickup trucks with dump trailers. And there's a line of them, mostly roofers dumping shingles.
The yard jockey must spend the majority of his time waiting for people to move out of the way.
And I don't even know where he's taking the loaded trailers or getting the empties from. It's not a street legal yard horse. All I can figure is the road drivers really have their shit together and are able to be there to D&H every time he needs them to.

I think the term originated when they had the world's biggest navy and they had delusions of grandeur.
