Recently Merlot has had less and less patience with vegetarians. Of course he has always thought Vegans were ridiculous, and don't get him started on those whom he refers to as the gluten-free loons. But recently he has been sharpening his canines on retorts whenever he meets vegetarians, specifically talking about bacon. I don't know how he does it but somehow he manages to get the word "bacon" into every sentence, if only to reference the six degrees of separation of Kevin Bacon movies. And Merlot doesn't even like Kevin Bacon movies, especially when he found out there was no bacon in his movies, except for perhaps The River Wild, if you assume that what they are cooking over the fire includes bacon. Though Merlot does like the fact that Kevin Bacon dies in that movie.
Here in Vermont we have such a small population that really there are only three degrees of separation between all of us here. We're like a small town. Unfortunately, to Merlot at least, it feels like a small town of vegetarians.
So Merlot has been quoting from the great logician Sir Frances Bacon, and using expressions like: "Which came first: the bacon or the eggs?" Which, when you think about it, is a deep question metaphorically.
