Pfft, this isn't a wrist watch made out of bacon.

 
Fizpez [TotalFark] 2009-05-24 09:13:29 AM  
And here I was hoping for an article on smoked, thick sliced bacon that can read a clock, move from the fridge to the stove and cook itself while I'm waking up and taking my morning shower.

/Version 2.0 would bring along a couple of eggs and also make sure I remembered to fill the coffee maker and set the timer the night before.

If your super bacon can perform oral sex, I can get divorced and live the rest of my life in bliss.

The PETA freaks will love that article.

/ On a more optimistic note, it won't be long now that we will have genetically altered plants that grow long strips of tasty bacon. You can just plant them in pots and harvest the goodness.

//But some freaks will protest that I suppose.

When the Maasai of East Africa kill a cow, the herdsman first coaxes it to the ground and then lies beside the animal, stroking and calming it. He whispers in its ear to explain why it must die and asks its forgiveness. Then he smothers it.

Oh yeah you are going to bacon soon. Everything is going to be ok.

/MMMMMMMMMMMMM calm bacon

Boy, that spider-pig joke sure stuck with some people. No accounting for taste.

 
Nakito 2009-05-24 09:29:04 AM  
Wouldn't the bacon bra make a lot more sense if it was made of bacon that was already cooked? Not too crispy, of course, because it would still need to be pliable enough not to crumble off. Or maybe crispy is OK too. But either way, not uncooked.

This will be worthless to those who don't read the article but the part where they call the 3 year old "scary" seems a little dead on. I've been around farm animals and hunt so I don't have any hangups about them being steak, but it is a little creepy to have a 3 year old asking for a lamb that they could eat. Sounds like they may find a fork in the family dog sooner than later.

In a world where most people think animals have 'rights' when they, as adults, can't event define the word 'rights', this is actually quite refreshing.

This child will likely grow up with the balanced view that as long as there are actual humans in need of help and charity, joining a silly group like PETA is a complete perversion of priorities.

Hopefully, she won't actually put a fork in the dog, but she will understand that her life actually is more valuable than the dog's.

The parts about the three year old girl were just brilliant. Especially about the lamb.

Eat more lamb. 500,000 coyotes can't be wrong.

Bacon. It's what's for breakfast.

What about the prairie oysters? We got to find out what he did with the cheeks in detail. No soup to nuts menu? Probably had it castrated as a piglet to improve the taste.

My band mate regularly does this: Buys into a pig raised by a small farmer in much the same way as in this article, then receives an allotted amount of chops, roasts, bacon, ham, sausages. He told me that I'm welcome to join him. I'd do it, but my freezer is so small.

Yep, this. I have a lot more respect for the food I raise/harvest myself. I don't think it's much of a coincidence that the farther we remove ourself from food production, the fatter we get. Convenience and processing is a good part of it, sure, but when you raise and/or harvest your own food, it's really hard to take it for granted and over indulge. It takes on a value other than money.
