Is That Ikea Hot Dog Really a Bargain?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion humorously revolves around Ikea's Swedish meatballs, with participants joking about the nature of the food and the assembly process, likening it to Ikea furniture that requires an Allen key for assembly. There’s a playful mention of a disclaimer regarding the meat content, suggesting it may not be entirely beef. The conversation also touches on the idea that ignorance about the production of food, similar to laws, can lead to a more comfortable mindset, with a light-hearted suggestion to take creative photos with hot dogs.

Next time, go the right distance away from the sign and hold up a hot dog at arm's length so it looks like the actual size. It's the poor man's "holding up the leaning tower of Pisa" picture.
 

Thread 'Status Update by JRMichler'

Just ONCE, I wanted to see a post titled Status Update that was not a blatant, annoying spam post by a new member. So here it is. Today was a good day here in Northern Wisconsin. Fall colors are here, no mosquitos, no deer flies, and mild temperature, so my morning run was unusually nice. Only two meetings today, and both went well. The deer that was road killed just down the road two weeks ago is now fully decomposed, so no more smell. Somebody has a spike buck skull for their...
