'56 Packard Man

… With all that is going on, a bacon hangover would be a good thing. Responding to the Bacon theme in yesterday’s Friday Funnies, the Late, Great “B-Squared‘s” Bride, “B-Squared II,” wrote that “B-Squared” loved to make B-L-T sandwiches and was kind enough to share the recipe. So, we’re off and running this Saturday on another Bacon Binge! Woo! Hoo!

“B-Squared’s” B-L-T Sandwiches

• Bacon. Thick sliced bacon. Lots of thick sliced bacon
• Hot house tomato, sliced 3/8″ thick
• Red leaf lettuce, washed & patted dry on paper towels
• Ciabatta rolls, cut in half lengthwise
• Melted butter
• Pourable Blue Cheese dressing
• Sea salt
• Freshly ground black pepper

Fry the bacon. While the bacon is frying, slice the ciabatta rolls in half, toast lightly. Brush the top of the roll lightly with melted butter.

As the bacon finishes cooking, drain it well on paper towels.

Spread the Blue Cheese dressing on the inside of the ciabatta roll halves.
Assemble the sandwich: bacon first, then the lettuce and tomato. Sprinkle freshly ground sea salt and black pepper on the tomato and lettuce, cap the sandwich with  the top of the ciabatta roll.

Gum-slamming good!

“B-Squared” gave his wife this shirt. What would happen if more than one Bill was in the room at the same time was not revealed:

“B-Squared” was also a “Gear Head” and fond of Ferraris to the point that he named his Golden Lab Enzo, as in Ferrari. We saw Enzo as a pup HERE. In this photo, Enzo is in the process of (ahem) appropriating this chair for himself, “B-Squared II’s” daughter was forced to find other seating arrangements for herself …

“B-Squared II” also writes:
“In these strange times of people hoarding TP, instead of asking people to bring their own bottle, we sk them to bring their own TP.”

She also provides graphic evidence of what the Shelter In Place order has done to women:

Life Is Zoom-ing By Edition!

Steven writes:

“I remember when I was a kid we were promised flying cars and videophones. Well, we finally got the videophones, and how do we like living the life of Zoom? And why do have this uncontrollable urge to put Kleenex boxes on my feet like Howard Hughes? Maybe it has something to do with solitary confinement. And flying cars would come in handy now to enforce “social distancing.” Incidentally, why hasn’t anyone floated the obvious conspiracy theory that this whole virus thing is a hoax designed to keep Handsy Biden from indulging his hair-sniffing grabby ways?”
