The Canonical Bacon Page
It’s entirely my fault: I taped bacon to my cat a couple of years ago, thus apparently signaling to the whole of the Internet that what I really wanted to be was the guy to whom everything related to bacon was forwarded to. Indeed, there has emerged a “Scalzi’s Law,” which is a consonant variation of Godwin’s Law, and it goes as such:
Any conversation on the internet will eventually include bacon in some way. And then be forwarded immediately to John Scalzi.
Since it appears that “Scalzi’s Law” is indeed followed religiously by various and sundry, and I am daily inundated with e-mail and links about bacon, I’ve decided that what really needs to happen is a public repository of links to all things bacon — so that a) people passionately interested in bacon can find all the links they desire, and b) that people have something to check to see whether or not someone else has already informed me about whatever bacon-related thing they’re also thinking of sending me.
Thus: The Canonical Bacon Page, the place to go to post the bacon-related links you want me to know about — and also the place to be for the latest and greatest in bacon-related stuff online.
Here’s how it works:
1. You find something bacon-related on the Internet.
2. Rather than sending it to me in e-mail, you post it here in the comments.
3. The whole world basks in your superior bacon skillz.
It’s just that simple.
That said, to be sure you don’t “bogart the bacon” — and to make sure that your comment doesn’t get trapped in the moderation queue, I request that each comment be limited to one (1) bacon-related link. That is, one bacon-related item, picture, story, etc. Don’t just post a link to the Archie McPhee catalog; that’s lazy.
The fun and utility of this page will be entirely up to you, good bacon finders — it’s up to you to fill the comments with bacony goodness. I look forward to enjoying the hickory-smoke brilliance of your contributions.
So: What bacon-related links have you got to share with the class?

The Not For Tourists (NFT) Guide reports that Chinaski’s in Chicago now has All You Can Eat Bacon Night.
Chinaski’s
Imagine sitting in a bar on a Monday night. You’re enjoying a beer with friends, and your waitress comes up to the table and asks, “I bring you some more bacon?” No, you’re not dreaming of an alternative universe where bacon is considered one of the four food groups, you’re in Chinaski’s for All You Can Eat Bacon Night. Named for a Charles Bukowski character, Chinaski’s is heavy on the lit theme: Sandwiches are named after famous authors and poets, and the bar features literary readings and open mike nights. Speaking of sandwiches, the list of burgers is not for the small appetite, with choices ranging from a burger with peanut butter to one topped with a corn dog, to one with chicken tacos. Be sure to get the tasty homemade chips topped with kosher salt and parmesan with your sandwich. Other specials include $10 bottles of wine on Fridays.

The current “bacon” meme has been perplexing me for some time, because entirely coincidentally, my five-year-old daughter has developed an obsession with the word “bacon”. She shouts it out at random moments, with great enthusiasm, much to the bafflement of adults around her. (Her 1.8-yr-old sister is now copying her.) So I find myself wondering whether the meme managed to infect her like a virus!
She’s actually quoting an episode of Veggie Tales:Lord of the Beans. Bacon has little to do with the story; the dwarf Grumpy (played by “Pa Grape”) is food-obsessed, and, when they’re trying to figure out the answer to the riddle at the Blue Gate, shouts “Bacon!” as his guess (and later suggests “with bacon!” when someone else gives their guess). He shouts it again during the closing credits. For some reason, this really stuck in my daughter’s mind.
Apparently, if you are five, everything is better with bacon.
Because you need to see what happens when Bacon fights Mayo:

John is lucky that I remembered about the Canonical Bacon page; I almost e-mailed him with this. I’m sure that there are others who already *have*!

RE: Governor Palin and geography…
OK, two can play that game. Obama-Biden supporters just put into the Vice-Presidency a 35-year veteran of the Senate who mentioned in an interview that FDR went on TV to address the public during the Great Depression!
In others words, if (note the conditional) Sarah Palin needs some geography, Joe Biden most definitely needs a remedial lesson in history.

Last night I ate at Herwig’s Austrian Bistro, in State College, PA. I consider it to be the canonical bacon restaurant, and thus worthy of inclusion on this list twice. When you enter, you are greeted by a sign, “Welcome to Herwig’s, where bacon is an herb”, and the motto is also printed on tabletents. There are pigs and bacon-themed items everywhere in the restaurant.
I had saurkraut (with bacon), potato salad (with bacon), and bratwurst (no bacon), followed by the chocolate bacon cheesecake I’ve already described here.
Dinner was followed by Blue Oyster Cult, who also had no bacon but rocked nonetheless.

I was going to bring up the Bacon Lance, but others have already done so. I just want to convey my delight at discovering that you have a page devoted to bacon-related contributions, and my admiration for your system.
Not only is this page enormously convenient to ardent bacon lovers, but also I forsee that once it gets long enough, you can snip it off and make a book out of it.

It amuses me that one of my work colleagues is Jono Bacon. We work for a company called Canonical.
Ah, the weird meta-world that my brain is now inhabiting.
Dixie Cream Donuts in Columbia, Missouri sells a bacon maple bar donut that is very, very good. It’s a bar donut with maple frosting, covered in crumbled bacon.
I can’t believe no one has mentioned the (allegedly) evil Bacon Brothers of Abbotsford, BC. One’s up on murder charges, which led to headlines like this one: “Bacon drama no repeated in Port Coquitlam court today.”

An old skit from The State that I was introduced to just today: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=5933487992252736220
The Chicago Tribune is celebrating the bacon dishes of Chicago restaurants. With pictures, that they’re calling “bacon porn.” Actually, I think it’s better than real porn: Edible underwear is just embarassing, but the whole point of bacon is “edible.”

Remember folks, to check recent previous posts: The bacon blow torch has been posted several times now.
In reading This is not a game which I believe was recommended in this blog, I ran across a mention of “candied pepper bacon” as one of a choice of breakfast meats. I can’t quite wrap my imagination around that one, although no doubt someone here has eaten it.

Mike Daisey is doing a performance in NY on June 8: “Mysteries of the Unexplained: Bacon.” He will also cook and serve bacon to the audience.
From the FB event page about Mike Daisey (full disclosure – he was a college classmate of mine): “MIKE DAISEY has been called “the master storyteller” and “one of the finest solo performers of his generation” by the New York Times for his groundbreaking monologues which weave together autobiography, gonzo journalism, and unscripted performance to tell hilarious and heartbreaking stories that cut to the bone, exposing secret histories and unexpected connections. His monologues, fourteen and counting, include the controversial How Theater Failed America, the six-hour epic Great Men of Genius, the unrepeatable series All Stories Are Fiction, and the international sensation 21 Dog Years. Over the past decade he has performed his unique extemporaneous monologues at venues across America and around the world. He’s been a guest on the Late Show with David Letterman, a contributor to WIRED, Slate and Salon, a web contributor to Vanity Fair and Radar Magazine, and his work has been frequently heard on the BBC and NPR.”

Medley beat me to it. As a fan of Mike’s, I’m sorry to have to miss his bacon show; his monologue “The Ugly American,” about his time as a starving theatre student in London, is one of the funniest things I’ve ever seen.
http://www.mikedaisey.com/2009/05/our-thanks-to-everyone-who-came-out-for.sht
Medley, if you were a college classmate of Mike’s, that means you went to Colby College, in Waterville, Maine, where I grew up… did you by any chance take any classes w/ Dick Sewell? Or sing in the choir (conducted by my dad)?

“I get so angry when I feel people pushing a weight-loss agenda,” said Linda Bacon, a nutrition professor at City College of San Francisco and author of “Health at Every Size,” a book published last year whose title has become the rallying cry of the fat pride community. “What we’re doing in public health care policy is harmful. We give a direct and clear message that there’s something wrong with being fat.”
