thursday thirteen
I came across another blog, here, who had a very entertaining Thursday Thirteen as opposed to my Top Ten Thursday, which I realize now, is not as great of alliteration as the double diphthong . If you notice the end of her post, there is even a community of fellow Thursday Thirteenists who enjoy tagging their lists and keeping up with other listers’ lists.
However appealing to be one of the chosen, I’ll maintain my Top Ten Thursday because it is original, I’m stubborn, and it’s less work to find ten of something than thirteen.
But, what is even less work for me, is featuring a guest blogger/alliterist/list-mak
er, and her entertaining Thursday Thirteen.
I’lll introduce her thirteen by saying, the next time I scrape my knee and it doesnt look like a piece of bacon on its own, I’ll use one of these band-aids to remind myself of how bad my wound could look.
1. Iheartbacon.com. Yup, there’s a blog for that. But we should have know that already, right? They’ve got an icon if you want to link.
2. Feeling adventurous? How about whipping up your own batch of chocolate covered bacon? Mmmmm… GAG Good. You can find some detailed instructions here. 
3. Sir Francis Bacon (1561-1626) – Statesman, essayist, historian, intellectual reformer, philosopher, and champion of modern science. Not as yummy on a BLT as say Apple Smoked Bacon, but probably not as fattening either.
4. A bacon inquiry. More information on porcine lactation than you probably ever wanted to know. Funny in a painful/I-feel-so-sorry-for-the-guy-who-had-to-answer-this-letter kind of way.
5. Bacon Salt, because “everything should taste like bacon.”
6. Oh yeah, it’s time for bacon!
7. St. Anthony, the patron saint of bacon.
8. A bacon briefcase?!!
9.The Oracle of Bacon. Can you stump the oracle? It’s Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon and it’s not as easy as it sounds. I tried. Even Fred Astaire is only two degrees away.
10. Sorry girls. 
11. A bacon dispenser. Ask and ye shall receive.
12. Uncle Oinker’s Bacon Mints
13. A Beggin’, Lettuce and Tomato sandwich, made with real Beggin’ Strips. “Dogs don’t know they’re not bacon,” but people should. Check out Steve, Don’t Eat It! for the hilarious results.
The purpose of the meme is to get to know everyone who participates a little bit better every Thursday. Visiting fellow Thirteeners is encouraged! If you participate, leave the link to your Thirteen in others comments. It’s easy, and fun!
