Alert for Fishers,Hunters, and Beer Drinkers

There is bad news out of Garner, N.C. because the facility that makes Con Agra's best selling snack, The Slim Jim was damaged by fire or other causes. I know that this might slow down some of the hunting and fishing trip foods required some members of this board. I believe that the affected product was the Slim Jim Turkey Snack. There will be further updates to this information as soon as it is known. My question: Does Steve have an ample supply before Fishing Season begins? On July 10, 2009, there was a meeting between management and employees, and the employees were told that they would be going back to work by the end of July,2009.

1) Bean,

Slim Jims are horrible. You need to go to a processor and get some deer jerky or get your own smoker.

2) I made my own Slim Jims this year, first attempt. They turned out ok, but next year they should even be better. Somehow I managed to let the winter months slip by without making jerky. I oven dry my jerky at a low temperature. I am satisfied with it the way it turns out. Some people swear by jerky done in a smoker. I am sure some jerky cooked in a smoker is good, but I had some last year given to me that I ended up discarding - bad stuff!!

3) Nitrites and toxins galore. Good riddance! A contributor to the decline of our nations health in my opinion.

4) I was just reporting a potential shortage in the future market for Slim Jims. It appears that the elitist hunters and fishers don't care about the welfare of the workers and corporations that manufacture these items. If you follow the Liberal Obama leaings, he is going to order you to eat at least 6 Slims Jims a day for a week to help the affected people out. A good hopt summer afternoon event would be to go your local bar or tavern as you call them, and have a good cold , a Slim Jim, and a Pickled Boiled Egg; however, the egg can be substituted for by a pigs foot. This also makes good food for catering a wedding or Irish Wake. Hey Good News for your liberal information, that plant employed over 600 people, so you are telling me that just for health reasons you are glad to see this many on the unemployment lines. Wake up silly girl because you aren't dry behind the ears and very worldly either.

5) Bean, You think I'm a liberal and a female? That's funny. Maybe my sensitive side is showing? Haha Good one on Obama, he might just do that!

6) I think they should open back up the buggy whip plants too. Do you know how many people have been out of work since the early 1900s that worked in that field.

7) there are a lot of children out of work, they should let them back down the coal-mines...

I think CNN was talking about the '6-a-day slim jim law' that is going into effect.. curse that obama.

8) It has been estimated that theCon Agra plant contributed 5.5 MM dollars to the local economy in various forms, such as wages, property taxes, local purchases and other items. Take that amount of any small town and you hurt.

9) Limey, unlike the UK and Ireland we don't use Child Labor here.

BeanCounter37 Wednesday, June 10, 2009

10) Bean,
I dont like seeing any business go under.

But the fact remains that I cant stand the taste of SlimJims. Not only do they taste bad but they are horrible for you.

Again, I feel sorry for the town.

RickMonday Wednesday, June 10, 2009

11) just cos you dont use child labor, doesnt mean you shouldnt... children are free-loaders...

could be good for the economy.....

12) A side note to this disaster is that any one time in 24 hours there are 1,000,000 pounds of chicken in various stages of production here.

13) After the accident, CONAGRA reported profits and the loss of the Slim Jim contributions will not effect over all second quarter profits.

15) YAY for Obamas america! WOOT !

JimTheLimey Friday, July 10, 2009

16) Jim i believe the company not only wants the Sales, but they want to keep the employees happy. Unemployment in the Raleigh-Wake County Area is 9.5% and this where the plant is located. OBAMA has had nothing to do with any of this, and as far as I know he doesn't care about the employees.

BeanCounter37 Friday, July 10, 2009

17) he does care about the employees, he doesnt care about you tho, because your a jackass.

JimTheLimey Friday, July 17, 2009

18) Jim, you're my hero.

20) Hey Limey all Brits are Jackasses!!!! As far as I am concerned, if you don't like it here BOAC is ready when you are.

BeanCounter37 Saturday, July 18, 2009

21) thats so unlike you to dislike a whole nation. good work.

JimTheLimey Saturday, July 18, 2009

22) Limey, just remember that on two occasions, the US and Canadians saved the Mother Country from eating Sauerkraut and speaking German.

BeanCounter37 Monday, July 20, 2009

23) two? you helped finish the job in WW2 but what was the other one? and dont even say WW1 .

JimTheLimey Monday, July 20, 2009

24) Britain was on its knees in WW1 until American fliers and volunteers arrived. Remember Lafayette Escadrille?

25) comment changed due to lack of interest.

26) The Conagra plant resumed limited production on July 19,2009 and there have been no reported interuption. The portion of the plant that reported was probably the front end of the process.
