Bacon & Beer

[M@]

Last year on my annual pilgramige, I came up with the Bacon & Beer Theory, and here it is:

You carry a keg of beer, and a lot of Bacon up to the ravine.

(You'd also need a stove which can cook the bacon, and some cups, which would be recycled from person to person, obviously)

Once there, you bartar for everything else you need. Primarly skiis/boots/poles (for a couple runs), other food items like bread and water (someone is bound to be sick of their re-hydrated chili Mac&beef) possibly even sleeping bag space or tent room.

The idea started when I realized the number of freaking skiis NOT BEING USED at any given time, on a nice saturday. I thought communism would be too much, just sharing the skiis, but bartering for Bacon and Beer... that way you get a nice tap beer, and some crispy bacon. Wow.

I know I'd glady lend some one my crappy rock skiis for a few runs, in return for a tall cold Magic Hat. (And not a #9 either, dont get me started on #9)

MMmmmm.. A keg of magic hat, now that would be a good sight to behold up at HoJo's.

Back in 92/93 I saw this guy trudgin up Tuck's with a Keg attatched on his back with a wooden frame. He was the size of a linebacker and was hardly breakin a sweat.

Never did remember seeing him up in the bowl so don't ever know if he made it or not?

If I'm going to have a whole KEG of beer up there, and it's a KEG of magic hat, I'd much rather have Bob's First. Or Hocus Pocus for that matter. #9 is too fruity... the quality beer that fruit flavor covers up is just screaming to get out.

But it is doubtful that I will have beers up at TUX, as the weight/alcohol ratio is way too high.

I think fosters has the packaging/beer ratio at a minimum with the oilcan though.

ANY beer sounds good after a hot day up at tucks (except Borel from Quebec or Dragons Breath for that matter). I don't get the idea of bringing up bacon (and I'm Canadian)... whats with that??? I'd settle for cheese and crackers myself...

Bacon is really good, eh?

Last year we had bacon, eh, and we cooked in in our lean-to and everyone was commenting on how nice it must be to have bacon, eh? A couple people wanted to sit near the bacon.

Lisa: No.
Homer: Ham?
Lisa: No.
Homer: Pork chops?
Lisa: Dad! Those all come from the same animal!
Homer: [Chuckles] Yeah, right Lisa. A wonderful, magical animal.
