Completely Unrelated: A Brief Lunchtime Discourse on Bacon

by T Kyle King on Jan 16, 2008 12:30 PM EST in Football

Over the holidays, I ate supper with my wife and son at the Waffle House following the early candlelight service at our church on Christmas Eve. I ordered, among other things, a bacon, lettuce, and tomato sandwich, and, while I was eating it, I came to this realization:

For me, the "L.T." in a B.L.T. is purely a means to the end of the "B."

In fact, I could do without the L.T. altogether.

Honestly, when I order a B.L.T., what I'd really like the waitress to bring me is a plate of bacon and Lawrence Taylor, so that I could listen to L.T. tell me about the time he broke Joe Theismann's leg while I ate bacon.

But maybe that's just me.

Mmmm....Bacon

Would you eat bacon from "cloned" pigs? That was a hot topic on all the national morning news outlets today. Seems like cloning is not regulated and this bothers me, although I guess if I were hungry enough I'd eat synthetic bacon. And, I wish Lawrence Taylor would come out of retirement and break Tom Brady's leg. Just Because.

Bacon helped Brady Anderson hit 50 HRs in a season- look it up.

Bacon loves you.

I firmly believe that there is no food on earth that cannot be improved with the addition of bacon, cheese, or ice cream.

A Proposition For Kyle King

Kyle,

I have a private matter to discuss with you. Could you shoot me an e-mail? jacewalden@hotmail.com

Thanks,

Jace

P.S. It will most likely not have anything to do with bacon.

hey Jace,

"P.S. It will most likely not have anything to do with bacon."

Jace, this is no way to gain Kyle's cooperation. Come strong with the preserved pork products, or don't come at all. Seriously, my entire compensation package for contributing on this blog is comprised of various smoked porcine delicacies. /sarcasm

That's harsh

As someone who's been a Redskins fan since the age of three, and wept openly as Joe was carted off the field that night, I think I'm completely justified in saying: You sadistic bastard.

Five Easy Pieces

I'd like a bacon, lettuce, and tomato sandwich, hold the lettuce and tomato.

You want me to hold the lettuce and tomato?

I want you to hold it between your knees.

FWIW

The other day I was reading a brief story by the BBC's new correspondent for the US Presidential Election, who was saying that the hardest thing to understand in his first 48 hours on the job - he went straight to Iowa - was unraveling how it was that bacon had gone from being a meat that one ate on its own merits, to a garnish. Apparently it was the 8 pieces on a bacon cheeseburger that pushed him over the edge.
