Today was a great day.

Whilst perusing the interwebs this evening, I stumbled across a headline entitled, “September 5 is International Bacon Day.” Naturally, I was intrigued.
What does one do on International Bacon Day, besides the obvious? Does one hang crisp-fried bacon strips from the mantel? Dress up in costume and go door-to-door, begging for smoky-cured pieces of fat? [...]
