Bacon Hypnosis
June 5th, 2008 by Jeff Simmermon
I saw this sign in Union Square last night:
I love bacon, don’t get me wrong — but I wonder sometimes if it’s like zombies and robots and monkeys online — awesome, sure, but also just this stuff the Internet fetishizes just to be fetishizing something. I mean, as cool as I think robots are in the abstract, I’m not actually that thrilled about having a world crawling with them. I just like looking at them and writing about them. Is bacon the internet’s meat robots?
According to Eliza, hell no:
Bacon is the number one meat that vegetarians miss, and the one that eventually breaks most of them.
She’s right. I never could be a vegetarian in the first place — couldn’t give up bacon.

I once converted a vegetarian with bacon. It was a proud moment.

I wonder what the stats are for people who convert to/from Judaism.
It ain’t heaven if there’s no bacon.

I’ve heard (and quoted) that stat many, many, many times. As a vegetarian. Nothing compares to bacon.

That sign worked I am hungry for bacon!
As for bacon being an internet fade, I dont think it is. I have been blogging about if for over 4 years.

Eh, for me, it’s not bacon. I’ll have to think about this, what meat would be most tempting for me, a vegetarian.

There’s no way in hell I could give up bacon. I mean, even if pigs were Raptured off, or some such nonsense, I’d find something else to make bacon out of.
Bacon is magic.
