1. “So we had a hearing and one person showed up saying they were opposed”
   I’ll take “Mohamad Mohammad, Muhamad” again for a 1000, Alex.

2. Since when did a complaint from one person have enough influence to threaten the livelihood of a businessman and deny his customers their favourite food?
   I know atheists hate the Bible, the Cross and the Ten Commandments, but who could possibly hate the fragrant odor of sizzling bacon? A vegetarian?

3. No bacon for you !

4. How far away is the mosque?

5. A Haight crime!

6. Open up a Durian bar.

7. “Open up a Durian bar.”
   I noticed a freezer full about a week ago in my local Loblaws incarnation. It looked like they were all still there last night.

8. I give up. What’s a Durian Bar?

9. Forget it Jake, It’s Chinatown.

10. Great!
    So the next time I get bowled over by the stench of BO and curried goat seeping out of some damned non-Rotarian third world mudflap – I will sue!
    And the next time some blogger (who shall remain nameless) opens up with a billowing cloud of unconscionable stink from eating boiled cabbage and white navy beans…I can sue him too!
    Stink! It’s a new hate crime!
    Uh oh…lord forgive me…grrrrrrrrrrrr……ooooop…..PBFBFBFBFBFBFBFBFFFFFFFFFFFT!
    Bless me lefties, for I have sinned…..!!!!

11. What’s a Durian Bar?
    All I know is durian fruit is nasty. A durian bar must be awful.

12. Atheists and bacon? Is there a connection? This atheist/agnostic treasures the Bible as one of the canons of Western literature. The cross with the dude nailed to it is kind of cool too, no hatred there. The ten commandments are mostly good,though I am not sure about the part about not coveting thy neighbour’s wife, one must have one’s fantasies. Only thing I do dislike are Bible/Koran/Talmud thumpers. And I wouldn’t look too kindly on Richard Dawkins thumpers either. But I suspect that even the most fervent pork rejecting Muslim would find it hard not to slaver at the smell of freshly frying bacon.

13. Who knew? The Amish lived in San Francisco?

14. The bacon terminations I walk every day is Hardees restaurant smells likes bacon, Um!
    Durian (Wikipedia): “…The smell evokes reactions from deep appreciation to intense disgust, and has been described variously as almonds, rotten onions, turpentine, raw sewage, and smelly socks[citation needed]. The persistence of its odour has led to the fruit’s banishment from certain hotels and public transportation in southeast Asia.” Good one.

15. It has been said before but bears repetition: ‘first they (WHO) came for the smokers…’; if fanatical intolerance is tolerated it follows that fanatical intolerance will spread. The anti tobacco pantie wringing started in California. Just sayin..

16. “We want the date and time of every visit to the bacon bar and your thoughts as you ate as well as your thoughts on anticipating visiting the establishment, as well as the names of everyone to whom you recommended the eatery–for starters.”
    What?? If the IRS can (and did of conservative 501C-4 applicants) ask about your thoughts while praying, hey, ANYTHING is game..

17. Oh, c’mon Robert. You don’t recognize satire when it slaps you in the face?

18. Durian is a fruit common in SE Asia. If you ride the metro in Singapore you will see odd signs on the outside of the subway cars of a pineapple-ish type fruit with a slash through it indicating “no durian”. People who like it can’t get enough of it. I thought it tasted like sugarred skunk and almost upchucked with the first mouthful.
    Bacon on the other hand . . . mmmmmmmm.

19. Whatever is the matter with bacon (which comes from that magical animal that gives us ham and pork chops)?
    I’d say fight this ridiculous ruling but… well… California.

20. Meanwhile, the aroma of marijuana capers unmolested on Hate Street.
