OK A-holes.  It's fixed.  Enjoy the orange links, because I have no fucking idea how to change them.  I basically learned scripting in four days to fix this damned thing. - Andy

Mrs.Drinky gifted me a year's subscription to the Bacon of the Month club a couple of years ago.  Pretty pricey for what you get (which is why I didn't renew it), but still nice to get a pound or so of sweet bacon in the mail once a month.

Bacon of the month?  How many different kinds of bacon are there that there needs to be a club?

You would receive a package from a different smokehouse once a month.  Each smokehouse has their own take/specialty.  Sometimes it would be an applewood smoked bacon, some were more peppery, etc.  It was like the microbrew beer of the month, only with delicious pork.

It allows you to get creative.  Instead of chewing gum, you could chew bacon.

Not to mention Canadian Bacon. Of course, eat that only if you have a girlfriend.
Don't read too much into any of it. It's Rozner. He's a fucking idiot.

Because delicious bacon delivered to your door sounds like it could be worth at least a decent premium.

You're like a manic-depressive poster.  Except it's more like funny-shitty.  You need to hit the first one more often, like this.

That's the most delicious link ever.

Truly inspiring.

It really is. I want to buy a pork belly immediately. Maybe stare it at for a bit. Watch TV with it. Just lovely.

http://www.gratefulpalate.com/?p=Category_11 was my hookup.

$150 plus S&H for a year.  Considering you only get a pound at best each month, it just seemed a little steep.  But, the bacon was almost always awesome.

Sounds like it's Desipio picnic time.

Slaky can make the bacon, Kermit and TDubbs can brew the beer, and... Bacon and beer? I think that's pretty much all we'd need.

(Unless Oleg is rocking some homegrown in a secret closet somewhere.)

It's not much of a secret.

What about Bacon flavored beer?
