Is "bacon" the new "carrots" TalkBass?

I'm noticing an sense of obsession towards bacon creeping around here on TalkBass.......everywhere you look, someone is talking about bacon!

Will "bacon" be the new "carrots" in the polls?

Will the TB community switch from healthy bunny food as an icon to something meaty and greasy?

Am I the only one noticing this porky trend?

You certainly don't see any "chocolate covered carrot" threads.

The time of bacon is upon us! Let us take bread and make butties for all!



Of course, we could risk alienating the veggies, jews and muslims.

Carrots are for carrots! The carrots option denotes a non-interest, or lack of passion about a particular subject. If someone were to find Bacon non-interesting or feel dispassionate about Bacon, I would have a very general root vegetable type of response to such an individuals opinion.

Bacon = Win

Carrots = Fail

It sounds as though you have given this significant time for thought and reflection!

Phalex is onto something.

I propose that anytime Bacon is mentioned, it must be capitalized and in bold.

Thusly:

Bacon

Not that I'm in any clubs, but I reccomend somebody inform the Bacon club. They might be interested.
