If bacon is the crack cocaine of the meat groups, Canadian bacon is the crystal meth.

My husband went boar hunting in Texas and came back with four. He said that the boar population is getting out of control and they are moving north. They apparently are aggressive and have killed animals; like dogs. I think we should popular the whole US with hogs and we will get rid of our terrorist problem.

She was guilty yet gleeful when she told us that she'd allowed bacon back into her life. You've taken your first step into a much larger universe.

That is a great point. Never thought of that. My sister-in-law is a veggie and they have four cats. Thanks for the material to needle her ;’)
