I think it has more to do with politicians buying votes by delivering actual barrels of salt pork to their constituents. There's also a related term, "Bringing home the bacon", but this is more general, and is more a reference to earning a wage.
Oh, there's still plenty of good drugs out there. (John Dvorak should be proof of this.) Maybe even new and different kinds. What we've lost is expense accounts. Can you imagine a reporter for cnet covering Comdex and ordering a case of Wild Turkey and a crate of grapefruit from room service these days? Neither can I. And you can't even see the bats, let alone fend them off, if you don't lay down a base of Wild Turkey and fresh grapefruit juice. How many tech journalists bother to drive to Comdex, rather than fly in?
The closest thing we have to gonzo journalism is Penny Arcade, on occasion. I'll leave it to the reader to decide which is Steadman and which is HST. If only those boys would drop acid at e3. If only they had the balls.
1) Sounds like you aren't farming, but engaging in Animal Husbandry, which is well known to be a sin in the eyes of God if you are not also practicing Animal Wifery.
2) The main religious objection to Embryonic Stem Cell Research is that the leaders of the Religious Right consider embryos to be human beings. Thus, harvesting embryos for stem cells would constitute murder of an unborn human being. (Murder of post-birth human beings might be OK, depending on the context.)

I don't get the tone of the submission.
So, in other words, like the test subjects who lost their toes, you're stumped.
Badabing!
Your name wouldn't be Winston Smith, would it? I find your attitude refreshingly doubleplus good.
I've got the balls, where do I sign up?
You must be Gabe. Call me when you get to L.A. for e3 next year and we'll come up with a plan to combat dose Tycho.
That was Ford. Gerald Ford. He was appointed VP when Agnew was forced to resign. He became President when Nixon resigned.
Wikipedia has one theory.

They might be worthwhile projects but (pardon my shouting),
WHY ARE THEY BEING PAID FOR OUT OF NASA'S BUDGET?
You'd think that maybe there'd be other sources of funding for these things? Oh, wait. I forgot about the tax cuts and the wars.
Spoken like a true MS astroturfer. Er, a Mac Fanboy. Uh, a Linux Zealot.
Say, what the hell are you, anyway? =)
You really have no idea what you're talking about, do you?

It was Teddy Roosevelt that said that, wasn't it?
It's not as well known as his other famous quote, though: Speak softly and carry a big lightsaber.
Run, Vista! Run! Don't let those bullies Linux and OS X catch you!
Let me guess. Was the book title being searched for Splendor in the Ass? Or was it A Sale of Two Titties?
If you haven't already, you might want to check out the wikipedia article on Windows 1.0. Just to give you some historical context.
Where's the mangled adverb? You can't have any pudding if you don't eat your meat!

When was it, ganjadude, that you became a toon of your self?
All beside the point, because such a device would be horribly complicated, and therefore unreliable.
Obviously. But there is beauty* in the impractical and inelegant solution. Think Rube Goldberg's machines.

Your wife, Squire . . . is she a writer? Nudgenudge winkwink!
The historical battles with giant enemy crabs was pretty good, too. Maybe the speaker meant hysterical battles.
Your .sig has become a little less cryptic.
And seriously! Who knew back then that computers would demonstrate nocturnal tumescence! You were ahead of your time, sir!
I salute you grammar nazis. You guys think different.
I'm still getting a pinging, tho'.
I'm pretty sure that the HD is parked while these apps are running, or at least it is recommended that your HD be parked.
Then you have the interesting problems of random access to the cards and re-writable cards.
Not criticizing you, just taking the idea further.
