Wanna get pwned by bacon? The bacon of the month club will make you bacon's bitch, man. This is only for those of you who dream about bacon, 'cos it's hella expensive.

OK, so maybe a bit overboard with the hyperbole, but it is the home of the bacon that stands up and says "Eat Me!". Which is pretty feisty for a pork product, I think.

  • Not Safe for Jews.
  • really?
  • And here I was all set to ask for something healthy like the fruit of the month club for Christmas!
  • This is just the tip of the bacon iceberg (as in blt lettuce): More bacon blogs: I Heart Bacon The Bacon Show A bacon recipe per day. Bacon merchandise Make your own bacon soap Bacon w/ Chocolate (bad) Bacon Butter (good) Ultimate Bacon Sandwhich (v good) As you can see, I'm a girl who likes her bacon!
  • this is the best product description ever: Summerfield Farm Bacon Artisan: Summerfield Farm Tasting Notes: Molasses and brown-sugar cured. Slab only. A great big, hedonistic pig bomb. Rich, super-intense flavors. Totally unique. Like Chateau d'Yquem of pig.
  • Hedonistic Pig Bomb is a good name for a band.
  • something healthy A couple of years ago, a friend of mine gave his brother a BotM membership for his birthday. The brother was married, but his wife didn't eat bacon -- she was a vegetarian or a Communist or a pedophile or some similar sort of vile and reprehensible underhuman -- so, once a month, he would sit down, cook up the entire monthly shipment of bacon, and eat it in a single sitting. The following year, the same man received an Olive Oil of the Month Club membership from his now-concerned brother. I was afraid to ask whether he chugged or gargled with it.
  • He may have had another use for all that oil.
  • Great link, drivingmenuts! Where'd you get such an awesome thing from? /I kid!
  • A great big, hedonistic pig bomb. Rich, super-intense flavors. The Robert Parker of the pork product world. At last. Clearly he's having fun. Other favorite descriptions of mine: "A bacon for nubile debutantes" "a precocious little bacon that will surprise you with its moxy and flair" "Bacon of choice for the US Olympic team, and also the bacon the Pope ate aboard his private plane when he last visited the United States"
  • I've been meaning to do this since Iron Chef Batali told me about it (not personally, on one of his tv shows with the rest of the Food Network watching public). I don't think it's wise to put the URL in a tinyURL, though, since a) it's unnecessary; b) unless they've changed something, that link will expire eventually; and c) I couldn't see where the link went without clicking on it. However, Hooray for Bacon!
  • I haven't eaten bacon in nearly 20 years. The smell makes me vom now.
  • Ugh. So wrong. You all realize that bacon is really muscle and fat tissue from a pig, right?
  • Well, I do. Which is rather why I'm not so keen on eating it.
  • petebest, what you dont understand is that that is merely what bacon appears to be. is the communion wafer really just a weird tasting little crackerthingy? why nooo....the miracle of transubstantiation transmografies that lil wafer into the BOC. in that very same miraculous way, bacon transcends the corporeal reality of "muscle" and "fat" and manifests its holiness in the true glory that is BRUNCH (cue celestial music, PULEEEZZZZZ!)
  • Also, you can catch herpes from bacon.
  • also spontaneous bowel evacuation. And swimmer's ear. For . . some reason.
  • Also, you can catch herpes from bacon. Ah, you've just saved my life, Chy. Mmmhh... but I haven't eaten bacon in, what, 7 months... crap.
  • I ate dates wrapped in bacon today. Yum.
  • tinyurls don't expire.
  • The "van" in Ludwig van Beethoven didn't mean anything.
  • I ate dates wrapped in bacon today. Yum That's funny, I too like to wrap my dates in bacon. I usually have to get them in the basement first or all the screaming makes the neighbors call the cops.
  • It puts the bacon in the basket!!!!
  • I also like to get Kevin Bacon to rap to my dates. *Yo! Y'all six degrees from me! If yo not in footloose or Apollo 13! STOP - Bacon Time!* Chicks dig it.
  • I had the soup and half sammich special last night. It was a BLT. mmmmmm Chy, I googled on bacon and herpes and nothing popped up in the first page--gottalink? I don't want to be rude and call bu pig shite, but it's not like I'm porking the bacon.
  • Obviously I was telling a porker.
