Everything's better with bacon.

Satisfying cravings before Liberia.

Bacon wrapped scallops are awesome.  [I'm still dying to try bacon wrapped oysters, which I first read about years ago in the W.E.B Griffin Corps novels.  Apparently they used to be appetizer staples... alas, now not so much.]

And yes, bacon chocolate.  Not bad, and when you got that hit of bacon/salt w/chocolate, awesome.  But ultimately suffered from, you guessed it, not enough bacon.

Lunchin' awesomeness.


Aasif Mandvi knocks this one out the box; plus one guy he interviews is a former Marine/Academy grad.

"...to an evangelist, the definition of “closed-minded” is “does not agree with me.”"

Awesome quote, made of win, filled with victory. Talking about dietary evangelism in the post, but of course applies just as easily to religion/politics.

Fat Head - To The Vegetarian Evangelists …:
"That’s because to an evangelist, the definition of “closed-minded” is “does not agree with me.” The truth is, I’m being polite. Even though I believe your religion is based on a mixture of emotions and faulty reasoning, I don’t show up on your doorstep and try to talk you out of it.”"

Cee-Lo's "F**K YOU" = genius, way funny.

I love Leverage.

Leverage is just great TV.
Eliot: Why are you sending second rate thugs to try and kill me?
Thug: Hmmmm? (looks sad).
Eliot: If I am not honest with you, you will never improve.

“You’re precisely why I work alone.” –Eliot Spencer

Alec Hardison: [just lost Rock-Paper-Scissors] How did you know?
Eliot Spencer: You have a tell.
Alec Hardison: I have a tell? In Rock-Paper-Scissors, I have a tell?

Nathan Ford: Did you just kill a guy with an appetizer?
Eliot Spencer: I dunno. Maybe.

"I once saw a horse kill a clown." - Parker

Hardison: Age of the geek baby, stay strong

“I’m sorry, are we still unclear? I’m a functioning alcoholic. Trick is to not get hung up on the ‘alcoholic,’ and really celebrate the ‘functioning’ part of the sentence.” –Nate Ford

"My name is Nathan Ford and I am a thief!" - The Maltese Falcon Job

Eliot: That's the different between a real soldier and this Halloween outfit you have going on. You'd kill to protect your rights. A real soldier would die to protect someone else's.

Nate: You're going to go toe to toe with these guys without a plan?
Hardison: Oh we have a plan, it's called C.W.A.
Eliot: Can of Whoop Ass.

Sophie [pointing at drink]: So how's that going for you?
Nate: Thanks for asking. Good, what I realized is that I tried being a drunk honest man, a sober thief. So I am going to try being a drunk thief. Try that for a little while.

The LXD is just bad.

Bad in the colloquial awesome sense, that is.
