First Piece of Business After Winning Lottery - Lots of Bacon Butties
By Rocco 'Boss Hog' Loosbrock
If you won the lottery, what would you do? A lucky couple in Bath, England, won £56 million in the EuroMillions Lottery Draw and celebrated by noshing on bacon butties.
"Butties" are what they call sandwiches in England. Aren't the English cute? It's apparently short for "buttered bread." I still can't help but giggle like a 12-year-old though when I read the word "butties." The imagery is just too much when matched with my immaturity...
I really hope that this event spurs more people to celebrate with bacon.
I, for one, did just that in my (first) wedding. I'm not kidding, folks. We actually spoke of bacon in our vows. Oh sure, we sullied bacon's good name by splitting up 4 years later, but that's neither here nor there. The point is, bacon is just that awesome. (PS - I go the bacon in the divorce. Squeee!)
That said, I think there are plenty of other events that could use bacon as a celebratory prop/meal:
Sporting events: "Screw Disneyland, I'm eating some bacon."
Holidays: "I hope I got the rasher in your size."
Emotions: "I want to show you how much I love you with this pork. Plus let's sleep together."
The list goes on and on, but I'll stop there. I'd like a shot at getting married a second time.
