Man Pays For Cross-Country Trip Using Bacon As Currency
An anonymous reader writes in with a story about the power of bacon."Travel can be expensive. One man is using a unique way to pay for a trip as a challenge. Pennsylvania comedian Josh Sankey is on a mission to make a cross-country road trip from New York to Los Angeles with no other currency but bacon. Sankey isn't carrying any cash or credit cards as he makes his cross-country trip. He is paying for everything from gas to lodging by using uncooked bacon as currency. He set off on his trip with 3,000 pounds of the popular meat and he seems to be getting good deals with it so far."
The four basic food groups are:

2) Cream -- Ice Cream, butter, etc.
3) Bacon -- Bacon makes everything better.
4) Foie Gras -- If you haven't tried it, you don't know what you are missing -- really.
All the other foods such as veggies are simply eye candy designed to make you feel good about yourself.
Garlic. Also, if beverages count, many varieties of alcohol.

Of course, the fact that he's being followed around by a film crew has nothing to do with his success at bartering his bacon. That's a pretty ridiculous stunt. He might as well just go up to all these people and say, "Hey, if you'll give me decent seats to this game, I'll let my film crew here get a clip of you handing me the tickets and you might wind up on national TV!"
Yes, because at least we gave the politicians the power to do so on our behalf. Vote them out if you don't like the wars
No one collectively gave PETA the right to be violent, and you can't vote them out.
