My fave: What would bacon do?

yes but have you considered the weight of this question?

what WOULD bacon do?

:jig:

Since interest has rapidly waned, I'll tell you that the gentleman in question is:
Marcus Porcius Cato (234-149 BC), quaestor, aedile, praetor, and finally consul of Rome.
Also known as Cato the Elder and Cato the Censor, and sometimes as Cato the uptight grumpy frustrated puritanical bastard with a huge chip on his shoulder.
His middle name is indeed Porcius, which translates roughly as Piggy, and which was a respectable name back then. Yep, Mark Piggy Cato. No wonder he was grumpy.

"...Also, I think Carthage should be destroyed." --Cato the Elder, who after visiting the city made it a habit to end all his speeches to the Senate with this phrase.

That's a close paraphrase of something in the cookie file. It's one of my favorites.

so this dude would say this at the end of every speech regardless?

what did he have against Carthage?

I think it was a bit of a den of hedonism, maybe like Las Vegas or New Orleans. :)

Or....A hundred years of conflict with the rival regional power. The den of hedonism thing was one of the justifications for wreaking utter destruction upon a defeated enemy, destruction designed primarily to ensure that they were never going to be an enemy again.

you guys sure know your loosely related to bacon information..

ha! "bacon information" sounds like a hip new phrase to me

@ Zen,

fuckadoodle doo, I thought that looked like Cato, but had forgotten the Piggy bit.

Very good. I am impressed. *looks suitably impressed*

Bacomation?

exactly! :D

we all need a little bacamation and once i figure out how to slip it into some sort of compulsory curriculum, i will rule the bacon world

A photo of me and some Canadian Bacon !

I just noticed that guy was wearing my sister-in-laws pants !

I thought the rationale was that Carthage had WMD. Bacomundo!

That's baconical!

oh, stop hamming it up

Carthago est delenda! Carthage must be destroyed!
Yep, at the end of every speech.

There were three Punic (Rome V Carthage) wars: 264-241, 218-201 and 149-146.
Cato being born in 234, he was 18 when the second started. In this war Hannibal (Carthage) occupied Italy for 16 years, slaughtering people and causing havoc, but was never able to take Rome. Cato, naturally a pretty disagreeable chap, was thoroughly pissed. Consumed by hatred, much as Hitler was consumed by hatred during the bad times in Germany from 1914-33. (Quirks exception, please.)
Anyway, long after the second war ended, Carthage slowly recovered, and Cato was furious that they should be happy and prosperous. The romans found excuses - remarkably similar to WMD - to make war again. War, siege and victory followed, and in those days they had no qualms about finishing off a foe without leaving an "insurgency". Of about 500,000 people, about 450,000 were slaughtered, the rest sold as slaves, the city destroyed, and the ground plowed with salt.
Class dismissed.

PS: since you're in the middle of an election campaign, AlphaJ, you must surely be hearing all the bacomation you could want, with all the pork barreling going on.

This thread is just too fricken weird

makes it so much more interesting, within the loose confines of bacon, you never know what's gonna happen

this guy sounds like one tough mother fucker...
and thank you i feel as though i have stopped to re fuel at the the bacomation station and am filled the brim with girlish glee.. in the form of bacon information that is..

pork barreling .. i like it :D

p.s. what the fuck am i going on about again?
:headshake

From YBNBY, best heart attack ever.

"You can improve almost any food by wrapping it in bacon. It’s the American way. Bacon-Wrapped Turkey is becoming quite popular. Here’s the recipe, with a video."

After extensive research and meditation, I have realized that this dance is the ....


...wait for it....


bump and rind.

For years we joked that LJ's mom wrapped bacon around everything before cooking it. I think her doctor finally convinced her to stop it...

Is there a bacon poll? I'm not a fan.... although a bacon and avocado swamich sounds pretty good to me right now.

Many years ago I ate chicken wrapped in bacon. IIRC it was deeeeelicious.

The bacon thread lives again!

It was sick but it's been ..... cured!!!!

my favorite...

kabob style

Zen with all these bacon puns... yer smokin'!

snort

Someone is trying to raise his post count....

Mum always puts bacon on our Christmas turkey
It's a tradition, like roasting onions and chipolatas with the potatoes

Not as many rashers as above though.

Anyway, they got the quote wrong. It's, "There's nothing that can't be improved by the addition of cheese and jalapenos. Except perhaps Cornflakes." I should know, I said it.

this thread was oddly popular considering the content:D

on live the bacon thread!!

i found another one just now and i'ts possibly the greatest bacon related thing ever:

http://i116.photobucket.com/albums/o...matedbacon.gif

They should have animated them makin' bacon'!

:3eye:

Yeah, there's the one...putting sexy old banana peel perfume on...:greenface

exactly, and then they would... wait, how would these guys do it?
:3_eyes:

Not sure, but it would probably involve a bicycle.

a bicycle you say? yeah, i guess it does make sense..

bacon/bicycle
perfect match

I have no picture for you but, came across this recipe and immediately thought of all you bacon lovers...

Bacon Cotton Candy

Molecular gastronomy madman Chef Sean Brock of Charleston, SC's McCrady's restaurant has apparently seen fit to unspool bacon cotton candy upon the unsuspecting world. He is dangerous, and he must be stopped -- and brought to my house and made to cook for me every single night of the week.

lol Joanie! Great post! Very informative.

Welcome!! :D

Maxim calls this "The sexiest sentence ever written."

"Who, under any circumstances, is not rendered almost helpless by the tantalizing sound of bacon sizzling slowly in a skillet, by the taunting backwoods aroma that permeates the air, by the luscious textures of crisp fat and toothsome lean meat, and by the explosion of mingled salty and smoky and sweet flavors that virtually explode in the mouth?"

From The Bacon Cookbook

Coffee perkin, bacon frying and a womans eye, all promise far more that they can possibly deliver..bb

gold!
this thread is getting a grade bacon colored gold!

where's the beef?

exactly....where is the beef?

this selfish girl is hogging it all... be a sport, give us a cut or two

I see some sidemeat.

would her nipple(s) be erect if she were really dead?

and those rashers crawling around in the sink? SERIOUSLY creepy!

what about riggormortis?

but i don't think she's meant to be dead

ok, not bacon but close enough

http://i116.photobucket.com/albums/o...jarjarmeat.jpg

Apart from the coffee, I seriously refute that ;)
Agreed. Gave me the shudders big time, like the chicken/ maggots in Poltergeist, which put me off drumsticks for life.
Also completely grim. But funny too.

grim? me? never....

also not bacon, well.... yet.

very strange though.

Sorry for the size, best I could access.

this is just getting better and better

so how far do you want to stretch it exactly?

http://i116.photobucket.com/albums/o.../boscojpeg.jpg

Keep stretching.
With luck, you might end up with pulled pork.

Seriously, stretch away, says I.
