Bacon Aphorisms

[Busboy]

Well I said come on over baby

We got chicken in the barn

Come on over baby

We really got the bull by the horn

Yeah we ain't fakin'

Whole lot of bacon goin' on

[pogophiles]

Learn from the past. Look to the future. Live for the bacon.

[=Mark]

New Sig...

[scbuzz]

I eat bacon .... therefore I am !

[Varmint]

Almost every time somebody gives me a present, it ends up making me sad. Except for bacon.

[slkinsey]

A bacon by any other name would taste just as good.

[Jinmyo]

Do not ask for whom the bacon crisps. It crisps for thee.

[KateW]

Life sucks, then you eat bacon.

When life hands you pigs, make bacon.

This one's for the Faulkner fans:

My mother is a bacon.

(Name that book!)

If there were no bacon, it would be necessary to invent it.

When pigs fly, bacon is as manna from heaven.

As I Lay Bacon

A man after my own bacon, I see!

Is there something wrong with the avatars or am I the only one for whom they're not appearing?

I believe the Great Man himself was a porkophile, as evidenced by his titles:

The Ham and the Fury

If I Forget Thee, St. Louis Cut

Intruder in the Butts

Links in August

Go Down, Chitlins

Headcheese for a Nun

and of course:

Backbacon, Backbacon!

[fresco]

And the short stories:

An Odor of Pork Roast,

That Evening Pork Go Down

The Boar

etc

To give southern women writers their due, Flannery O'Connor and Carson McCullers both offer a wealth of piggy material in their titles. But enough.

Okay, this was a stretch (a poem, not an aphorism after all), but perhaps someone could improve upon it:

I think that I shall never dig

A poem lovely as a pig.

An egulleter whose hungry mouth is prest

Against the bread's sweet flowing breast;

A giving hog that's destined to croak

And offers its ample haunches to smoke;

A swine that may in summer wear

A nest of lettuce and tomato fair

Upon whose bread mayo has spread;

Who doesn't care if it makes him dead.

Poems are made by fools like me

But only God can make a BLT.

[maggiethecat]

"Rare are those that prefer virtue to the pleasures of sex. Or bacon"

Confucius and me.

[fresco]

When a man is tired of bacon, he is tired of life.

[Dave the Cook]

Home is where the bacon is.

And let's not forget the screenplays!

The masterpieces, of course, are To Have and Have Not Bacon and The Bacon Sleep. (By the way, both movies starred the inimitable screen and real-life couple Bacon and Bacall.)

Is the rumor that he helped write the script for Bacon Along the Mohawk true?

[slkinsey]

And let us not forget that other great American author, who wrote such things as:

The Old Man and the Bacon

The Bacon Also Sizzles

A Farewell to Bacon (a sad, sad tale if ever there was one)

For Whom the Bacon Fries

The Bacon of Kilimanjaro (those Kilimanjarians sure know how to cure pork!)

The Green Bacon of Africa (it's fermented!)

[maggiethecat]

Colette loved bacon too, as I remember.

The Pure and the Peameal

Claudine en Manage avec Bacon.

The Retreat from Bacon

And, tragically

The Last of Bacon

What about the Salinger classic, "The Bacon in the Rye"?
