I’ve been getting a lot of email about this pork council business. I just treat it like Spam. ---

So can I assume that the National Pork Board would frown on [this](http://picasaweb.google.com/jenniashley/Artwork#5488242768906580834)then, too? I just like to ham it up on occassion, that’s all. 😃 ---

This stupid litigation really rinds my gears. > [@Wile\_E](#): > > Might have to boycott pork over this. Wait, bacon is pork … dammit! > > I wouldn’t even think the Pork Board would travel in Geek circles to have seen that site, someone must have squealed. As a Jewish friend once told me over breakfast, bacon is OK to eat. Because pork is banned, but bacon is bacon, not pork. If bacon was pork, it’d be called pork, but it’s not pork, it’s bacon. ::munch munch munch:: Move along, gentile, nothing to see here. ---

If bacon was pork, it’d be called pork, but it’s not pork, it’s bacon. ::munch munch munch:: Move along, gentile, nothing to see here. You’re right. Pork, bacon and ham can’t all come from the same animal because that would have to be some sort of magical beast like a … um … one of those magical creatures, the name’s right on the tip of my tongue. ---

I must protest. These puns are making me giggle. Real Men aren’t supposed to giggle. If the pork people are so sore about the ad, maybe they need some oinkment. ---
