My boy, Sam Singh, has just returned from his 16 month journey around the world.  Yup, he quit his job, finished his term as mayor of a fine Midwestern city and took off with a backpack, computer and camera. You can read all about it at singharoundtheworld.com.  I am particularly partial to the posts about Turkey written by a mysterious guest blogger.

We will be welcoming him home in style this weekend in Chicago! Needless to say I will mostly either be a) drinking or b) recovering from drinking.

No worries, I’ve got some “robo-posts” set up so you’ll get some new content this weekend.

Be safe, have fun and God willin’ I will talk to you again on Sunday!

So I was bouncin’ through a bunch of  my bacon Google Alerts (look at that fine example of aliteration right there) and came across a link to this post from Gizmodo about the author’s trip to The Candy Expo.

Before I go further with the relevant bacon news, let me just say “Candy Expo” – hells yeah!  I have got to find a way to one day get into that show!  There are certain trade events that I have always wanted to attend (like CES) and some that I have crossed off the list (Toy Fair).  This goes right to the top baby!!  Maybe I can get a press pass next year on behalf of TDB???  Hmmmm.

Anywho – this is what I wanted to draw your attention too…

It’s called “Man Bait” and it is a BACON FLAVORED LOLLIPOP!!! [Read more →]
