Found this pic on a page that sells bacon-flavored salt. This dude is much more hardcore than any of us:

End of the year party = planned

I found a place for us to hold our fete once we complete the challenge. No need to thank me. It was divine intervention, really.

When I was home at Christmas, I nearly veered into a ditch when I saw the below signs. I'm going to call and see how many derivations of porcine and nitrate they have on their catering menu.





And a close up view:

Week 8: Standings

Looks like the pace of consumption for some has dropped. Could the love of bacon be diminishing as eating it begins to feel like more of a requirement in the face of this challenge rather than just a random craving/treat? Is everyone just waiting for leap day to bring them their second bacony wind? Only time will tell. Week 8 stats to peep and discuss:

Bacon + Hot Dogs = Perfect together

My manager just told me about a hot dog place in downtown New Brunswick called Tido's. They have various items with bacon, including something called the Crackler. They describe it as "a tido brand dog wrapped in bacon, deep fried until it crackles with your choice of ketchup or mustard." Mmmmm, I know the first place I'll be hitting for lunch when spring rolls around.

Week 7: Standings

Looks like I'm filling in doing the stats again. Looks like I am also not eating bacon as frequently as I would like to be. Plan for this weekend? (1) Eat bacon. (2) Start running again. (3) Rehydrate. (4) Repeat

The Next Time Anyone Cuts Themselves, I Have the Band-Aids for You!

I think they would be best used by guys after we cut ourselves shaving.

Can I Eat It? Yes You Can!

I know some of you fall into the categoy of "clumsy" or possibly even "beyond clumsy" so this might come in handy in the event of some bacon droppage: Standards for Eating Dropped Bacon

The list certainly isn't complete, but at least it's a start.
