Bacon

I am happy to see Sir Francis Bacon illuminated on this week's Swift

As to King and Williams - the problem with those two is that they knowingly lie, and lies are sufficient to breed opinion, and opinion brings on substance.

I am worse - I also read "breed opinion" as "bread onion".

Aye, well back-salivating onions make everything taste good, but the point still remains.

Please don't apologise for that.

Well, if you don't then it's called pancetta.

If you roll it up and light the end and inhale it, then you're a retard....or really really addicted to bacon.

Well, not exactly. At least not any more than eating Science Diet would be to a Scientologist...I guess.

I hope that didn't make any sense to anybody...
