"Bacon: The Candy of Meats" embroidery

Jenny Hart, of Sublime Stitching, says:

This was an entry for my Sublime Stitchmas handmade contest that was worth sharing. A pig, with cut selections dotted out, and lovely scrolling script reading "The Candy of Meats." Bacon and embroidery. Two of my favorite things.

Homer: Are you saying you're never going to eat any animal again? What about bacon?
Lisa: No.
Homer: Ham?
Lisa: No.
Homer: Pork chops?
Lisa: Dad, those all come from the same animal.
Homer: Heh heh heh. Ooh, yeah, right, Lisa. A wonderful, magical animal.

Wonderful and magical, indeed!

I prefer the term "Champagne of Meats", personally.

If you've ever socialize with a pig, you may never eat bacon again. They're intelligent, expressive animals.

Dude, I've watched pigs eat bacon while they were crapping.

Don't go the PETA shame route - it's an HOV lane to "fail".

@#3:

For someone with a moniker of "Technical Writing Geek" - your grammar is suspect:

"If you've ever socialize with a pig"

WTF?

This is genius.

For the record, bacon and sugar go together beautifully. Especially when there's chocolate involved.

Bacon and candy. Two of my favorite things.

Mmmm, if you like bacon and chocolate, you should try the bacon chocolate bar from Biagio:

"If you've ever socialize with a pig, you may never eat bacon again. They're intelligent, expressive animals."

I'm guessing you didn't grow up around farm animals.

Pigs are intelligent because we bred them to have big brains. Why? Because their brains are _delicious_.
