    When I worked at the East Asian Library at a renowned California university, there was this thirty-fivish Japanese female co-worker with whom I had a discussion one slow afternoon about the proper consistency of rice. She kept saying “Rice must stick together like lava.” I remember insisting repeatedly that lava-like rice would probably be too sticky for easy enjoyment. Only later did I realize that she was saying that rice should stick together like lovers, and that I missed out on what I know think could have turned into at least a hot grope session next to the card catalog.

    Billions of hours of technological development, from the harnessing of electricity, power generation, computing, digital imaging, networking, multimedia, and web development have enabled us to observe and enjoy “Bacon or Beer Can.”

    God bless the Internet.

    Can’t argue with the tight focus of this website. It aims to do one thing, and do it well.

    Did you know that vampires can hear “bacon” and “beer can” at exactly the same time? Now you do. And knowing is half the battle! Not knowing is the other half… and we already did that… battle complete!

  • Znaps

    oh you crazy baldheads…

    Definitely Bacon.
