I’m thinking of considering proposing a suggestion to ponder perhaps mulling reducing the qualification for a Harvey Award from 10 likes to 5 likes, because the votes just aren’t materializing for the worthy ones.
This is because we don’t use mail-in ballots, electronic voting machines, endless recounts, and flooded bathrooms. We should.
I blame Brandon. The economy he left has people hoarding everything, especially bacon.
Change it to the Basil Award, or the Basil Award, for a while just for a goof.
10 likes for a Harvey, 5 likes for a Basil
5 likes should get a Har award.
Maybe call it Half-a-Harv.
Maybe people should just be funnier.
Are you joking?
Everyone should be.
Speak for yourself. I’m hilarious.
Maybe TOO MANY funny people. ‘Cuz we’re such a dang funny bunch. Like when I hit the cereal aisle at the store … Too many choices!
Does anyone here recall who suggested that bacon be the award?
Wasn’t it that dude Delbert Maynard?
You mean this Delbert?

Nah, I think he overdosed on pancakes over 10 years ago.
He’s gonna break a hip if not careful.
As the real Nostradamus around here, I predict that whatever threshold you set, I will consistently draw fewer bacons than said threshold…
Yes, but are you an historian?
I went over to Basil’s Blog and looked around. Dude. Like he vanished in 2021 after hitting his head at his sister’s house? But the blog is still up. What’s up with that if he’s gone? Basil (not Basil)?
Harvey’s is gone except for an archive on the Wayback Machine.
I want whatever Nostradamus was smoking in that cave.

“You deserve Bacon!”
The IMAO community is like a long-term marriage. The wit and humor is still top notch, but is anticipated and expected. A comment that would have solicited a full-blown chuckle back in the day now just gets an eye roll. Furthermore, I suspect that some may be getting bitter when bacon is not awarded for a particularly thoughtful comment. Once the bitterness sets in, bacon is withheld from others. With that said, my standards are not very high, so I will continue to accept bacon when offered.
Your post is worth at least 1 cup of some still fresh hot bacon grease….for the gravies’ sake. The biscuits can take care of themselves.
When life hands you bacon grease, fry some eggs and taters.
I’m thnking Harvey classes. You get a Bacon, that’s a Harvey 10th class. Move up to getting 10 Bacons and it becomes a Harvey 1st class.
