Bacon shortage coming. Soon there will be hoards of bacon-loving zombies, starved for alternative fried-meat, and it may be people. Keep your doors locked and your powder dry!

If the boffins in white lab coats combined the DNA from a pig with a snake you wouldn't have this problem.
Imagine a pig that sheds its skin every couple of weeks. Mmmmmm bacon.

The best thing about shortage news is that 9 times out of 10 the shortage isn't caused by an actual lack of supplies but due to people hoarding the stuff since they've read in the newspapers that there is going to be a shortage of it.

Your rights end where my feelings begin.

You have a freaking weird idea of what bacon is

You are not now, nor will you ever be, good enough to not die in this sport (Sparky)

How's yours doing?

Do you remember Johnny Carson's shortage of toilet paper joke.

I saw this on the news this evening and your thoughts were mine exactly.

Fortunately, I very rarely eat bacon.

This proves 'merica is a land of socialism cause back in GDR times people always were short of almost everything - but the same people hoarded all these things "just in case"...

Good thing I'm going food shopping after work....I'll stock up immediately!

Sex with sith is like sex with a stripper. A lot of flashing lights and waving of glowing sabers, but in the end you end up with something dark and wrinkely.

Well if you run out and you need a bacon fix just visit Texas.

SOME FAST FACTS AS OF 2006:

TEXAS COUNTIES with Feral Hogs, 225 out of 254 counties.

HOG POPULATION IN TEXAS; 2,000,000 (MILLION)+!

NATURAL LIFE EXPECTANCY OF A FERAL SWINE IS 6 to 8 years.

AVERAGE SIZE of feral swine is 100 to 150 pounds, but depending on the region can obtain sizes in excess of 600 lbs.

REPRODUCTION OF FERAL SWINE: Once a sow reaches breeding age at 7 or 8 months of age they can be responsible for 1,000 plus feral swine in a 5 year period. The State of Texas had an estimated population of around 2 MILLION at last check. How many is it after 6 years?

I heard feral pigs are a problem out west here too. Might have to grab a rifle and go get some.

The 100 to 150 pounders are tasty, they get a bit gamey when they get big.

Hey, you got any experience hunting these things? It might be fun to go shoot some with this winter.

I do.. indeed I do... BUT.. I don't think we have much of a problem with them up here yet.
Back east... the damn things are all over. One got my uncles leg one time and tore up his calf pretty bad with those chompers... He had shot him with a .30-30 and it just pissed the damn thing off. My uncle forgot grandfathers basic hog hunting training down there... One eye looking for the hogs.. the other looking for a climbable tree... just in case. Saw palmetto country SUCKS when you are trying to beat a hasty retreat from a pissed off hog.

I think hunting season is going to be a wash for me though.. I will most likely be in the hospital with them splitting my chest wide open... that was a wasted couple tags for deer and elk.
