Dear Kevin, have you ever considered marketing your own brand of breakfast meats? ---

[Hereā€™s](http://baconbros.com/?id=17384&sid=17383) a link to The Bacon Bros. Webpage. Maybe the more articulate ones of you might write their publicist and let him/her know what weā€™re doing, unless you want to just depend heā€™ll see this on his own. Is it ā€œcheatingā€ to do that? Hell, maybe. But I canā€™t think of a better way to get him in here! Whatchā€™all think? Q ---

No Quasi, I think it is best to let sleeping Kevin Bacons lie. If he isnā€™t tempted by the celebrity meat angle maybe Kevin would consider investing in a doughnut shop ala Tim Hortons. It could serve Baconbits. ---

As you wish! I have to admit, though, it may be a long, long time before we see him, and so we have to keep the thread alive. šŸ™‚ Q ---
