Onstad had a link above today's comic stating, "BLOGS: I announce a new Achewood-related project" followed with a link to his blog, with the latest entry being the first baconspiel.


Quote from: Chris Onstad
BLOGS: I announce a new Achewood-related project.

...blog entry...

Now—here is my actual announcement—since I've got this monthly bacon gig, I thought I'd make a little recurring blog feature out of it. From the plop of the package, to the evaluation, to the recipe research and ensuing guest response, I intend to document what can only be described as one man's monthly subscription to a cured pork delivery service. I hope you will follow it with great enthusiasm, and perhaps, when it comes out, go see the film.

MAPLE SYRUP, Onstad! Premium maple syrup!

There is nothing better in congress with bacon than really good maple syrup!

As I have been informed that at least fifteen of the most frequent posters on this board are actually you, I know you are reading this. HIGH QUALITY MAPLE SYRUP WILL SAVE THE DAY.

Thank God!  You don't know how long I've been searching for a reliable source of high-quality bacon reviews.  Is there anything Onstad can't do?

Getting a bacon subscription would take quite a commitment to pork products. I would like to get a monthly avocado subscription, but shipping to Alaska would be at least $70. I should move back to civilization.

Every time Christmas or my birthday rolls around, friends and family get mad at me because I have no ideas on what they can give me as gifts.

Not today.

Not ever again.

I wonder if this is the Bacon of the Month Club he is in:

http://mgrsti5395q.seamlesstech.biz/Merchant/2005TGP/BOM%20pages/bom.html

Note the use of the word "artisan".

What I'm really interested in are the perks to the club OTHER than the monthly bacon:

Bacon of the Month Club Membership Card
The Bacon Strip—Our monthly bacon comic strip for members only
The Bacon of the Month Club Pig Ballpoint Pen
A Little Rubber Toy Pig
One free Bacon Tee-Shirt

...I mean, Bacon tee-shirt? And the Bacon Strip? Really?

I pretty much have to see that.

I too am interested by the term "artisan" used in conjunction with bacon. I envision skilled craftsmen forming delicate sculptures out of crispy meat, or pigs in berets, or something.

I claim prior art, as I have an annual bacon-themed festival. This year we've booked four bands and six DJs.

Life's never boring with bacon.

A bacon artisan would, with the greatest of care, carve strips of bacon from the still living pig.

How does a band qualify as appropriate for a bacon festival?  Aside from presumably none of those hippie vegetarian types.

Actually, some are, for irony.

Bacon.

You know, bacon gets a bad rap these days. Bad for this, bad for that.

Well, I don't buy it.

I eat bacon every day. At every meal. Pounds of it!

I serve my guests bacon, I drink bacon, I even like a little bacon in my shorts - some slices - nice.

And that's just some of bacon's many, many, many, many, many uses.

Bacon makes a great gift, a great corsage for prom dance dates, and my wife makes these charming little dresses out of bacon. Heck, I even wear one myself when the time is right...

...and it usually is.

When I'm blue, I tell bacon my troubles: "I'm a little mopey today, bacon."

And when I ain't blue, well, I like to sing my bacon a little tune!

BACON, BACON, BACON!
I'm makin' the moves on YOUUUUUUUUUUU!
You're BACONNNNNN!

Sometimes, I hire dancers. Most times.

BACON, BACON, BACON!
We're makin' the moves on YOUUUUUUUUUUU!
You're BACONNNNNN!

So when you're sitting down to your breakfast pancakes or waffles, you know, why don't you lay down an extra slice or two of bacon?

But save one for me.

I may just put it down my shorts.






Most likely will.

Bacon, anybody?
