After hitting the reload button for 24 hours straight, trying to shake off withdrawal symptoms, locking myself out of the house, getting let back in at 4:20am, and getting back to the business of reloading, I'm rewarded with this.

Just out of curiosity, blazecock: is that a panda with arms dangling, or an armless panda with saggy boobies? just curious.

It's all about context. I saw this on Fark; I thought, "There's a cat with bacon taped to its fur. He-he." I saw this on MetaFilter; I thought, "A fascinating commentary of the cruel and random nature of fame. Here's a guy who has been struggling for acknowledgement throughout a difficult career, supplementing his income as a novelist by lecturing and copy-writing. Suddenly, he achieves a publishing sensation, by adding Danish to a Siamese." Maybe I'll see it next at Tate Modern, and I'll think, "Sublime juxtaposition."

FATMOUSE! I wonder why this never spread its fat tentacles all over the web. "FATMOUSE + YOU = FATMOUSE" seems like the basis for internets-comedy gold. Along with Fat Chicks in Party Hats it was the only use I had for the web back in the day. Anyone?

Yes, you can tape bacon to a cat. You sir, posit a highly unlikely scenario. It seems improbable that the cat would allow you to secure meat to its body willingly. Furthermore, I highly doubt that tape would stick to feline fur let alone a piece of fried bacon. Hogwash I say. [clicks link] Aww, looka the little kitty. it's got bacon on it. hehehe! Ahem. I stand corrected.

I've been a Scalzi fan since the 1900's (I am SHOCKED that his 'Scalzi's Best of the Millennium' has disappeared from the web), and marvel at his ability to create a World Class Internet Meme (and MetaFilter FPP) once a year, although last year's ("Being Poor") was a whole different thing.

If that is a real piece of bacon, how come no confirmed bacon debris has been found on the cat's fur? Also, although the bacon supposedly travelled over a major highway on its way into the cat, no eyewitnesses have stepped forward to claim that they saw a piece of bacon at that time and place-though several have said that they saw a shorter, wider, faster moving piece of meat. Also, the hole caused by the bacon's entry is shorter and fatter than one would expect from a piece of real bacon-it is in fact more consistent with the damage that a piece of Canadian Bacon. I think the evidence speaks for itself.

How often is the time I've been in my den, at my desk, working on my latest work of literature (Don't Eat My Donkey: Technology Trends in Uranium Mining, An Investigative Exposé) when the fancy strikes me to tape bacon to a cat. Alas, I have no cat. At least I shall now be able to satisfy my cravings vicariously.
