Bacon by any other Name would Smell as Sweet

 

Yes, kiddie-winkers…

Boys and girls…

It’s time again to delve into my bacon fascination.

For those new to these posts…

I need to make something clear…

I am not obsessed with bacon, per se.

I am, however, fascinated by people’s obsession with bacon…

And the myriad ways that obsession expresses itself.

Here are but a few examples…

Some more alarming than others!

There seems to be no limit to how bacon can be inserted into people’s daily lives…

As well as their tummies.

The range of bacon uses is only limited…

(Saw these bacon lollipops sold at my local 7-11!)

By the imagination of  the bacon users…

And, presumably, the pork marketing boards.

They provide bacon lovers…

And those of us who study them…

Countless hours of harmless fun…

(Wouldn’t this make the ideal bacon food cart?)

As bacon sits there…

On a plate…

Waiting to kill them.

Have fun!

 

And most of all…

Enjoy!

You Had Me At (Part 2)… Bacon!

You had me at… Bacon!

Some guys live by this motto. Others prefer to have it emblazoned on their tshirts.

It is the fine jewelry of food.

I wonder if Elisabeth Kübler-Ross felt the same way.

Some people will wrap anything in bacon! Even french fries!

The above is a photo sent to me by my dear friend Judy while on a recent visit to Los Angeles. Her first thought was “You have GOT to be kidding me!” Luckily, her second thought to take a photo  and email it to me! Judy says she actually bought one and that I need to come over to her place ASAP and get it before someone eats it!

I know more than a few guys who feel this way!

They are bacon black belts! Masters of Bacwondo!

They live according to a very strict bacon code.

To them, bacon is not merely for breakfast. It is also a perfectly acceptable, even preferable, dessert.

(Bacon Bloody Mary!)

Or beverage!

Anyone up for a pint?

(Bacon-wrapped scallops. A non-kosher double-play!)

The bible calls male homosexual acts an abomination. It also says that pork is unclean and uses the same word (abomination) regarding shellfish but hey… let’s not get too nit-picky and technical here, ok?

(NB: Bacon is part of the kit of life!)

Bacon is an essential part of survival, even in the more extreme circumstances

(If you can survive this breakfast, you can survive anything!)

Speaking of survival, you wouldn’t want to face The Upcoming Zombie Apocalypse, Space Alien Invasion and/or Robot Uprising without a big (if not healthy) breakfast featuring that prince of foods… bacon!

So until next time, boys and girls, keep your eyes and ears open and your tummy full… of bacon!

Just don’t forget…

bacon is trying to kill you.
