    There is a new feline internet sensation in town. And, no, it has nothing to do with bacon, despite what you might guess from the picture. What could possibly be funnier than putting stuff on your cat and then taking pictures of it? Answer: Nothing.

    Personally, I think bacon has a new PR guy. It’s just slayin’ folks around here. Check it…

    Bacon sandwich really does cure a hangover.

    Or so the Brits say. Who cares? Bacon!

      I’ve had bacon in four meals in, like, 24 hours. These are the happiest days of my life.

    Apparently, this fellow was having a good time before class.  So much so, that he was let go from his “job.” I thought the University of Florida was supposed to be about cocktail parties, not hacky-sacks. Maybe he should try working in San Francisco. Or, eat more bacon instead.

    As a kid, most of recall various opportunities to go to specialized camps.  For some it might be baseball camp, others spacecampmovie1band camp, or even bible camp (god forbid).  Of course, most of us also remember Space Camp, starring Kate Capshaw, Tom Skerrit, Lea Thompson, Joaquin Phoenix, Kelly Preston, and, of course, Tate Donovan.  Jinx played quite a role in that film as well (so did “Lamar” from Revenge of the Nerds).  Come to think of it, Space Camp is the Outsiders of its time. 

    In any event, as an adult, there are now fewer opportunities for fun “camps.”  But, there is at least one camp that I’d like to attend: Bacon Camp.  According to a recent write-up, Bacon Camp consists of various bacon-related competitions.  During brief breaks in the competition, there were bacon-related lectures.  A talk on bacon as art was especially fun, as the artists presented two giant eggs sculptbaconeggs4ed out of strips and showed a Power Point presentation of their Obacon project, a recreation of the famous Obama Hope poster. It was great to see the pork as a muse for something other than eating, although molding all of that stuff certainly must require a strong stomach.  The grand prize of the day (again, as decided by the people) went to Heather Lynch for her Maker’s Mark ice cream with a maple caramel swirl and bits of candied bacon.  Two of my favorites rolled into one.  Swensons’ take note!  Unfortunately, however, there was no fashion show.

    In any event, the video below contains a brief history of the bacon meme according to the sponsors of Bacon Camp.

      This post will go down in Ramble history for no other reason than it was the birthplace of a tag for Mr. Tate Donovan.

      For more Tate, listen to the first act of this episode of TAL. Pretty good story.

      Fuck Space Camp. Have you ever seen Fire With Fire?

      Now THAT’S a fuckin’ movie. I’d love to see Virginia Madsen’s shine box.

      Fire with Fire: “A young woman from a Catholic school and a young man from a nearby prison camp fall in love and must runaway together to escape the law…” Brilliant!

      Also, I had forgotten about the TAL story – that is the one where he gets his picture taken with the kids going to their prom? Very humorous and self-deprecating…

      What is the origin of this bacon obsession? Cause, this is at least the 3rd bacon-related post from Nut.

      Only a vegetarian would ask that question. Seriously.

    I thought I had a pretty healthy (or, more likely, unhealthy) obsession with bacon.  I’ve even tried to invest with some folks that are selling bacon-related products.  I also am a big fan of the tacqueria taco.  But, what happens when you combine the two?  Well, it looks something like this:

      knowing that bacon made you throw up in your mouth a little bit made me throw up in my mouth a little bit.

      Sweet Baby Jesus!! I can feel my arteries clogging just looking at it, but somehow can’t resist the power of the Bacon Gods.

      I wonder what the veggie option is?

      Wow, they hire hot RN’s as waitresses? Spiffy!

      I’m pretty sure you end up in a shallow grave in the desert if you try to order the veggie option.

    20081106-baconfriesThis Colorado Senate race, between Bob Bacon and Matt Fries, may have been the best ever.  Despite all the partisan rancor, there is clearly room for a compromise between these two — a juicy burger.

      It’s time for unity. For us to come together as one. For the greater good.

    We live in a time when even a casual trip to the market is fraught with anxiety.  Is it OK to buy the salmon?  What are the food miles on this golden delicious apple?  As a result, there is something comfortingly unambiguous about a thick slab of bacon. It’s bad for you.  It tastes fantastic.  Any questions?

    But, imagine my surprise to learn that there are others out there who take bacon-loving to another level.  There are bacon-scented auto fresheners, bacon-embossed toilet paper, and bacon candles (made with…you guessed it…real bacon grease).  But, some folks took it to a whole new level, answering the timeless question: What do you get if you put two (or is it three) of my favorite things into a single package?

    Yes. That is bacon and french fries together on a single stick.  Yum.
