After partaking of the free coffee this morning from Starbucks -- Decaf with half-and-half, meet pink travel mug. Pink travel mug, meet decaf with half-and-half. -- I hopped in the car and starting The commute was rather uneventful if you don't count the desperate need to pee by the time I finally reached the office (TMI?) and the bacon brain detour.
Yes, you read that right. Bacon. B-A-C-O-N. Bacon.
See, I had mentioned a bacon sculpture to my friend PMG yesterday and remembered that I needed to relocate it on the web and email it to him at the very least. At most, it deserved a facebook post, photo taped to my office door, a brief blog mention (ta da!), or something similarly inane. Would either Prank Place or Archie McPhee have some fun bacon themed products? (For the record, yes indeedy!) What about the dark chocolate and bacon bars found in NYC last December? I need to add bacon to the grocery list. What does one mix with bacon infused vodka? Are any of the bacon t-shirts at Snorgtees on sale yet? Why does bacon smell so good when cooking? Hey, if I cook bacon for the Turkey tonight I'll get serious mom points. Should that be eggs and bacon for dinner, or stuffed chicken breasts with crumbled bacon in the stuffing?
The brain was on bacon overdrive. By the time I walked into the building I was SMELLING bacon from thinking about it so much.
Or was that the cafeteria in the building? Let's say it was the cafeteria, shall we? Thanks.
Once in my office and with the computer humming right along, Google helped relocate the aforementioned bacon sculpture. Google also helped locate a few more fab places:
The Royal Bacon Society - a blog about bacon. Bacon recipes, bacon gifts, bacon porn, bacon pet stuff, links to more bacon sites ... bacon, bacon, bacon!
The Sticky Pig - candied bacon. My mouth is watering already. Salty plus sweet? Mmm hmmm. Human catnip, here we come!
Bacon Today - another bacon blog, but this one has serious news stories and even music and videos devoted to bacon.
Bacon Freak - the Mecca of bacon shopping. Yee haw!
Needless to say, the morning's bacon brain detour has been a continuing theme. It's crowding out the work, unpacking its suitcases, and frying up some fun.
Here's looking at you, bacon.
Go ahead. Make my bacon.
Of all the bacon joints in all the towns in all the world, she walks into mine.
Let's get out of these wet clothes and into some crispy bacon.
Bacon. James Bacon.
I'm gonna make him some bacon he can't refuse.
May the bacon be with you.
...and my personal favorite...
WWBD. (What would bacon do?) Hang with the hash browns? Get crispy?
