Big week for porcine fans of all stripes, this week. Epidemiologists usually don’t get primetime spots to talk about their interest in pork, but they just may save our bacon this time.
Political afficionados will love the jokes. For example, it was pointed out to me that people said that an African American would be elected President when pigs fly. A hundred days into the Obama administration… swine flu.
And now on to the real bacon blogging. If you wish that you could use your bacon in an industrial setting, Popular Science shows us how to use bacon as a cutting tool. But you must use the good stuff. Vegetarians beware, the bacon is more powerful than the cucumber.
And how cool would it be to be able to say to the world “I love meat (especially bacon)” without actually saying it and looking weird? So cool that you should consider ordering your business cards at this site.
It is also possible that we may end up locked in our houses for a long time. Costco may run out of bacon, so what are you to do? Have a martini made from this stuff. Perhaps with some olives stuffed with smoked gouda… Yum.
Personally, I’ll be diggin’ on swine all weekend at one of our semiannual Porxplosions. We bought about 50 pounds of pork last night and plan to smoke it all day on Saturday. There goes the diet.
Remember, the CDC says you can’t get Swine Flu from eating pork, so stop putting lipstick on that pig and fry yourself up some thick-cut Bacon.
