Work didn't completely suck this morning, and I had one of those rare feelings of work-related adequacy.
Then, high point of the day, I went to lunch and ate my barbecue pork sandwich WHILE READING A NEWS ARTICLE ABOUT BACON! And sure, it's Pulp-Fiction-Travolta, but still, Travolta all the same:
"Bacon tastes gooooood. Pork chops taste goooood."
This is nothing compared to the list compiled by the Royal Bacon Society, the Top 10 Homer Simpson Quotes about Bacon:
- “(Lisa) “I’m going to become a vegetarian” (Homer) “Does that mean you’re not going to eat any pork?” “Yes” “Bacon?” “Yes Dad” Ham?” “Dad all those meats come from the same animal” “Right Lisa, some wonderful, magical animal!”"
- “Porkchops and bacon, my two favorite animals.”
- “When you’re in my house you shall do as I do and believe who I believe in. So Bart butter up that bacon, boy.”
- “Is it Bacon Day?”
- “Mmmm. Move over, eggs. Bacon just got a new best friend - fudge.”
- “Not again! First you took away my Philly Fudgesteak. And then my Bacon Balls. Then my Whatchamachicken. You monster!”
- (Homer): I’ll have the smiley face breakfast special. Uhh, but could you add a bacon nose? Plus bacon hair, bacon mustache, five o’clock shadow made of bacon bits and a bacon body.(Waitress): How about I just shove a pig down your throat? [Homer looks excited] (Waitress): I was kidding. (Homer): Fine, but the bacon man lives in a bacon house! (Waitress): No he doesn’t!
- “[strained] You know that feeling you get when a thousand knives of fire are stabbing you in the heart? I’m having that right now…[normal] Ooh, bacon!”
- “Mmm … bacon”
- “Mmm … unexplained bacon”
Number 8 is my favorite.
The article, adopted from the Foat Wuth Stah Telegram, indicated there is actually a Texas grocer with 15 different bacons in stock. Wisconsin, West Virginia, Iowa and Texas bacon, bacon smoked with all manner of wood and wood-alternatives (i.e. corn cobs) and the Vosges Mo's Bacon Bar, a chocolate-bacon candy bar I'm sure is worth every penny of the $7 it costs.
Mark your calendars, September 5th is International Bacon Day! You still have time to rush out and buy me this for an IBD present!

Ugh, it's wrong that I think that sandwich looks delicious, isn't it? Shoooooot, man! Now I REALLY WANT BACON!
Oh, and I'd get you that book, but I already ordered you a Bacon Speedo for IBD. Sorry.
I could totally go for a BLT minus the T right about now. Stupid diet is killing me.
Homer J Simpson rules!
Have a fabulous weekend!
What kind of diet allows the B and L but not the T?
Bacon Speedo. If I start sizzling in the Florida sun, that means flip over.
