I drink my bacon neat

I love bacon and I love booze, but I'm always thinking to myself, "how can I get a good drunk on with my mouth always so so full of bacon?" Well, this guy has the answer, and it's so simple really: bacon booze! Well, to be precise, it's rendered bacon fat-flavored bourbon. If you can handle some greasy greasy bourbon or else can take the time/spare the freezer space to solidify the fat (science!) for easy removal, you too can enjoy this drink.

Better Living Through Bacon

In 2006, it was reported that a group of brilliant, Harvard-mouthed scientists have wasted caringly devoted countless hours to the higher purpose of developing a healthier bacon. I'm a little hazy on the details, but I'm pretty sure there's some dna splicin' going on there between a pig and a... roundworm? That can't be right, can it? I was pretty sure that pig and roundworm DNA just wouldn't splice (remember that song by Loverboy?). Whatever it is, it sounds yucky to me. Ah, I'm not alone:

"biotech companies run into what bioethicists call the 'yuck factor' when they begin tinkering with animals."

Anyway, it's been 2 years, can we see healthy bacon on our store shelves yet?

Sweatin' to the Oldies

I'm going to post some old bacon-based e-mails that I found in my in-box. I just hope I can come up with some clever swine-pun to attach to each one. I apologize if some of the info is out of date.
