Has anyone tried or heard of Bacon cologne (pronounced Bay-cohn, it's French!)? The ad is hysterical! "and, Frank! Your shirt!" This looks like a winner! Hugs, Devlyn

Bacon, eggs with Tabasco sauce, homemade hashbrowns with ketchup, and orange juice...
Is there anything better? Maybe...but I don't believe it.

It makes me wonder, what sort of ancient animal tasted like bacon and provided such a dramatic survival behavior (most people will drop everything in order to enjoy bacon)?
It's gotta be genetic. I mean...did pigs fall from the sky eons ago, during a forest fire, and the only food to give our ancestors energy was big hunks of bacon, roasting in the forest? We were able to outrun the fire AND the T-Rexes that were chasing our people, while they rolled up big slabs of bacon (some people prefer the "crisp" bacon, I prefer "flaccid" LOL) and tossed them in their mouths...
OMG I'm drooling.... :P

Boar are the wild form of pigs. Quite common and very adaptable. They are difficult to kill and very aggressive. I would have thought that any male initiation ceremony involving hunting and killing a boar would have been celebrated by the family group. Baby (female) boar are easily domesticated - pigs.
One of the, presumed, reasons for pork to be banned from the Jewish diet was because of its high infestation level by parasites that are adaptable to humans. One of few domestic animals that could do that.

I do know that Bacon is exhibitionist. I've seen it a hundred times in print: Bacon strips!
But does anybody know if Bacon is transgender?
