Hot damn this sounds like a tasty sandwich! Only makes me wish I thought of it first.
Oh, and yes, Bacon does certainly rule!
We’ve been toying around with a few ideas about what is one phrase the represents Bacon Magazine? What is the one thing that would stand out and show everyone what we’re all about. We have chosen:
So come on by… Get a smack!
I’ve never been a fan of Iron Man, but after watching this trailer, I’m definitely a little more exicted about it. If anything, it’ll be better than this order of Steamy Crap and Fries.
Make sure you check out the high-def versions here.
Jack Thompson
I want to hurt him. It must be because of all the violent video games.
Tom Cruise
He NEEDS to be punched.
George Bush
He needs several thousand punches to the head, chest, neck, throat and face areas.
Angry Sub Lady
Don’t be so angry, and make me a good god damn sub for once!
Oprah
Hypocrites need punches. Oprah needs 2.2 million punches.
Ann Coulter
Punch her in the face. Then kick her in the junk. Then punch her again. And again. And again.
The RIAA
Can’t wait to see the video of the punching on youtube, with the illegal ‘Rocky’ soundtrack.
Everyone From Finland
Because let’s face it, those Finnish bastards can’t be trusted!
Jack Valenti
Needs to be beaten by groups of people, but he’s not allowed to know who’s actually in the groups that are beating him.
Prince Charles
I just think Chuck looks like he could take a punch.
Editors Note: Steve Jobs too, that smug little hippy.

It seems like a lot of people felt that our list of the ‘Top Ten Stripper Names’ was either wrong, or missing essential names. Since I have to admit that some of these names are extremely common (it took hours and hours of ‘research’ to verify), I thought I’d update the list with more stripper names. With this in mind, here are Bacon Magazine’s ‘More Top Ten Stripper Names’
- Brandy
- Tiffany
- Lexus
- Ginger
- Scarlett
- Devon
- Chastity
- Cinnamon
- Diamond
- Trinity
Once again, I challenge you to go to your local strip club, and see how many of these names are in use on any given night. I bet you’ll see at least a few of these. If you’re lucky (and have enough money), you may even see ‘em all.
Native Canadians (nee Indians) for many years wanted to be treated equally to the “Whites” in Canada - but methinks that this wish has changed. I mean, why would they want to be treated like middle class Canadians who are overworked, overtaxed and over burdened when they can have:
- The Ontario Government offering $100-some-odd-million as a payoff for the Indians at Caledonia to shut down their teepees and go home. (But guess what - its not enough!)
- Another $1.9 Billion payout for the for the families of those that attended church run schools and suffered abuse at the hands of the teachers/administration. (Like this didn’t happen elsewhere to other non-Native people)
- Millions of $$$ in money coming in from the many casinos all over the country (It’s their version of giving liquor to the Redman but now the white folks get it)
- Tax exempt status; free education; many other assistance programs (a.k.a. free ride)
Not only do they get the financial benefits noted above, but they are also apparently above the law of this country. I mean, if the majority of us were to setup roadblocks on a main highway and man them with armed guards I don’t think it would take too long for the police and/or military to come in and use whatever force necessary to get the situation under control. Does Caledonia ring a bell!
I’m fed up with catering to groups like this. We cannot continue to be expected to pay up for the deeds of our forefathers. Its time to move on and for everyone to take on their respective responsibilities in supporting this province/country.
In other words - equality across the board!
The English Beat were a fabulous outfit out of Birmingham. One of the original ska bands their story is for another day. In a backstabbing tragedy worthy of a Shakespeare play the two singers/band leaders jettisoned the band in the interests of splitting the cash less ways and started an outfit called General Public. General Public went on to limited success and had one great hit titled Tenderness that you might recall. The guitarist and bassist from the Beat regrouped and went on to form the Fine Young Cannibals.
In 1985 the Fine Young Cannibals released their self titled debut album to little fanfare. One of the best break-up albums of all time it is laced with self indulgent misery not to mention a rythym section worthy of Sly and Robbie type acclaim and introduced a lead singer with a unique soulful sound. Before disappearing it provided a small club hit called Johnny Come Home that is not indicative of what the balance of the record contains. I urge you to check out Couldn’t Care More, Funny How Love Is, Blue, and Suspicious Minds. Suspicious Minds is a cover of an Elvis tune that features Jimmy Somerville of the Bronski Beat on background vocals (another story for another day).
The band only released one more true album that being the Raw and the Cooked five years after album one. This disc generated a worldwide #1 hit in She Drives Me Crazy and a hit from the movie Tin Men (worth seeing) called Good Thing. They never toured to any great extent and just faded away from there. They have the distinction of being the only band in history to have a number one hit and not record a follow-up.
Some other trivia not worth mentioning. Roland Gift, the singer, was more interested in acting. He did at least one solid film titled Sammy and Rosie Get Fucked (Laid in North America) that takes place in Brixton during the race riots. Dave Cox and Dave Steele the guitarist and bass player remain obscure. There is a funny episode of VH1 Reuniting the Band where the two backstabbers from the Beat attempt to get the band back together and they can’t even manage to get either of Cox or Steele on camera.
Happy listening.
