If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

As always - NSA hears all, but tells as less as possible...
I DO eat bacon - goose and turkey bacon 
Skipper: We'll fix it.
Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?
Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.

bacon - definition of bacon in English from the Oxford dictionary[^]
I'm sorry, but both the Oxford Dictionary of English and Merriam-Webster (for those who speak the U.S. dialect) refer to bacon as being made from pigs. Cured goose or turkey aren't called bacon.

Pah! Mock bacon!
That's like eating Carob and calling it Chocolate!
Or Budweiser and calling it beer...

Horrors! For the last thirty-five years I was under the impression that the mark of a true developer was drinking caffeine, eating pizza, and working odd hours!

coffee, bacon? what nonsense are you talking about. the only sustenance developers need is chips, and maybe with a little bug sauce.

Who's talking about coffee? The only civilised drink is a nice cup of tea.

Amen!
At my previous place of employment (a startup), they asked for suggestions on how the work environment could be improved. I asked for afternoon tea and biscuits to be served on proper china.
Needless to say, my suggestion was not accepted, and the company shut down soon after. I don't think there was a connection...

Of course there was a connection. We wouldn't have built such a large empire without tea and tiffin at 4 o'clock in the afternoon. EDIT It all went to pot once coffee was introduced. EDIT

Put my feet up for a couple of days, and pretend that I'm catching up on my e-mail.
(I'm really glad I use a "screen name" to post here)
I wanna be a eunuchs developer! Pass me a bread knife!

Long coffee break, then long-lunch, then another coffee break, then go home early.
«There is a spectrum, from "clearly desirable behaviour," to "possibly dodgy behavior that still makes some sense," to "clearly undesirable behavior." We try to make the latter into warnings or, better, errors. But stuff that is in the middle category you don’t want to restrict unless there is a clear way to work around it.» Eric Lippert, May 14, 2008

I'd either be thinking, I sure am glad I have an awesome job that I look forward to coming back to, or I'd be thinking, why am I wasting my life sitting in this cubicle, sifting through a couple hundred emails, catching up on git commits, and reviewing the latest JIRA bug reports?

I'd take a coffee and then a second coffee.
Then I'd read all mails and I'd wait the end of the day.
Daily routine...

Bore my colleagues to death with my vacation tales and photographs. That is, if I can catch them...
I may not last forever but the mess I leave behind certainly will.

Open a bunch of Remote Admin sessions, spread lovingly on all available monitors, scribble something on a piece of paper... sip on the coffee... space out for about an hour or so

By the experiences of many friends: visit HR and make sure you still have a job.
