Food BACON-GATE!

Posted by Alison Hallett on Fri, Jan 30, 2009 at 2:26 PM

In case anyone missed the comments on Patrick's bacon post, allow me to direct your attention. It's officially my favorite Blogtown comments thread ever.

Thanks, Patrick, for writing this post. I love bacon too, but am also sick to death of the kitschy worship that goes on with this food. I even was thinking of writing a post to that effect myself before I read yours. I mean, enough already. Besides, no bacon has the exquisite flavor of seared foie gras or Famous Ray's of Greenwich Village pizza.

Coleman, you jackass!!! I'm taking bacon infused bourbon to a chili cookoff next weekend, and if I hear ONE person mention shark jumping, it's your head on a stake! Did Ransdell put you up to this?

Oh, and I'll be done with bacon just as soon as our mayor is held accountable for looking his constituency in the eye and lying through the hole in his head... And even then, I'll be waiting for him to apologize to Ball before I give it up for good. Put that in your pole and smoke it, Savage...


Personally I think Patrick erred in suggesting that BACON ITSELF is played out. Yeah, bacon kitsch is done. But bacon? Don't fuck with bacon.

saying "don't fuck with bacon" is right up there with posting a list of Chuck Norris jokes.

sigh.

Perhaps if Patrick hadn't done several posts on kitschy bacon and how awesome it was over the past year, he would be in more of a position to declare it passe.

ANYWAY, BACK TO CATURDAY. POST MORE CATS!!! YOU'RE NOT EXEMPT, ALISON!!!

I will also admit I was starting to get tired of everyone talking about how much they love bacon. I mean, really, all that time spent talking could be spent cramming your mouth full of delciious bacon.
