Toshiro Mifune's Letter Opener: Iowans celebrate the Bacon Festival by eating giant bacon-infused doughnut balls topped with chocolate and more bacon. "I mean, really, you wouldn't see this baconfest happening in California"

I'm morbidly curious to see how California would respond to this.

Same way we always respond to Iowa: ignore them.

Grass-fed, locally sourced artisanal bacon on a bed of organic kale.

With a side of cruelty-free tofu baconlike product for the vegetarians.

It is a shame that we don't have bacon here in Cali, but you know what they have in Iowa? Me neither.

Something spectacular, no doubt. California has a town whose name, translated from Spanish, literally means "Lard." Iowa will really have to bring its A-game to compete with that.

This is true. I lived in Manteca for 17 years. Sadly, there's no lard fest.

Sure there is...the Manteca Walmart.

crispyone: skantea: crispyone: moike: As someone who lives in the SF Bay Area, let me assure you... we have more than our share of awesome bacon sausage here.

FTFY.

/Bay Area = Worlds longest running 24hr sausage fest.

I don't think you want to compare the bay area's Babe ratio to whatever cow town you're sippin slurpees in. In a head to head bikini battle your heifers would end up with PTSD.

I've been to SF and Austin...you might want to shut your mouth before making those comparisons. Most of your heifers have adams apple throats and sausages between their legs.

I'm a San Franciscan born and raised, we had our share of hyenas but then the tech start-ups landed, which begat the a flood of rich yuppie dudes (not good), which begat waves of gold diggers (also not good). Somehow in the last decade that hottie infusion has raised the bar considerably. I used to think L.A. was booty mecca, but find a sunny spot downtown around lunchtime and it's like a frickin catwalk.

But I'm sure we can find nice lady boy to keep you company, seeing as how your obsessed and all.

howdoibegin: "I mean, really, you wouldn't see this baconfest happening in California. Only in Iowa will people come together to eat a bunch of bacon-covered bacon."

Let me google that for you (new window)

Heh, burn. And they are having the good apple-bacon from my state. The only thing Iowa is best at is cornholing (with real corn).

theMightyRegeya: skinink: Hey, sewer rat may taste like pumpkin pie, but I'd never know 'cause I wouldn't eat the filthy motherfarker. Pigs sleep and root in shiat. That's a filthy animal. I ain't eat nothin' that ain't got sense enough to disregard its own feces.

Do you eat chicken? How about lobster?

Are you asking him, or the fictional character he was quoting?
