E-pork-any

Every once in a while mankind happens upon an idea that changes the course of history; an idea that has the potential to forever alter the face of the earth. I recently became aware of just such an idea, which many others have also stumbled upon and found it to be the true secret of happiness.

And that idea is… microwaving bacon.

Why didn’t I ever try this before? Why did I laugh at those infomercials with the little plastic rack you hang the bacon strips on like wet socks? I must shout it out to the world! Stop cooking your bacon in the skillet! We’ve all been so blind! Stop burning your breakfast and splattering yourself with hot grease! There’s a better way!

joel, that title... wow, is all i can say. wow. well done.

And, to continue, have you tried turkey bacon? It tastes pretty good if you don't miss gnawing on the fat of real bacon which some people might.

I have tried turkey bacon. It's okay, I guess but not as good as pork bacon when it's prepared just right. Actually, in general I'm more of a sausage guy, but the microwaving thing has rekindled my love of bacon.

Remember how I used to mock Johnny for cooking Hot Pockets in the oven? Beware, Joel. You're starting to see the world my way. Now I need to go cook some bacon...

I had an onion tied to my belt, which was the style at the time. Now, you couldn't get white onions because of the war; all you could get...

Do you ever get stuck in a conversation that you can’t get out of? I’m not talking about those times when you have to be somewhere else or there’s a rational need to leave, but rather those times when, with every word the other person utters (it’s typically just a two-person conversation), your brain threatens to escape your body and make a break for it. All you can do is try to play some old TV theme songs in your head, or maybe design circuits if you’re the engineering type, all the while searching for an opportunity to escape. Now I’m boring myself just thinking about those situations.

Thirty Thoughts

1. Is that more hair in the shower drain every morning? 2. What's the big deal? It's just a number with a zero at the end. Why should we consider that significant? 3. Am I still allowed to wear shorts? 4. I need to buy a house within the next five years or we won't have it paid off by retirement age. Then again, my generation won't be able to retire until age 80, so I shouldn't worry. 5. I really should be eating more green, leafy vegetables. If I leave potatoes in the fridge long enough, will that count? 6. Going back to school is getting less and less likely. Then again, sending kids to school will be enough trauma. 7. At least I no longer look like I'm 12, which I did until I was about 23. 8. I will never wear my cell phone on my belt. 9. For some reason, there's a big difference between having a kid and having kid s . 10. You kids get off the lawn! 11. I wonder when my memory will start to go. 12. Inside of me beats the heart of an 18-year-old. At leas...

Moral Compass

On a scale of 1 to 10 (with 1 being “afraid to step on a blade of grass” and 10 being “I’m gonna kill everyone!”), how bad is it if I were to warm up my car in the morning for 10 minutes before coming to work?
