Mr. Bacon and Monsieur Tofu: A Contest

Posted by Wendy Atterberry

 

Okay, fine, seeing as both Alex and Steph have already posted about Bacon this week, I guess I'll hop on the bandwagon and post something bacon-related, too. And in case you're wondering: yes, if all my friends were jumping off tall buildings, I would probably join them. I draw the line at eating my eggs with ketchup, though. A girl has her prinicples.

Anyway, bacon! And tofu! Mr. Bacon and Monsieur Tofu are, um, well I guess you could call them "action figures." Mr. Bacon stands 6" tall and Monsieur Tofu is 3" tall and they both have bendable arms and legs that, according to the site that sells them, provide for hours of fun. Hours of fun? With bacon and tofu figures? Okay, whatever you say. Well, to make it really fun, here's a contest:

MM will throw in Mr. Bacon and Monsieur Tofu as an additional prize to whomever wine the Taste-Test: Bacon Salt + Contest (so if you haven't already, be sure to leave a comment there) if you also finish this sentence: Bendable Mr. Bacon and Monsieur Tofu provide hours of fun if...

(and I promise the next contest we have won't be bacon-related at all...)

Bendable Mr. Bacon and Monsieur Tofu provide hours of fun if you write a kitchen buddy cop film for them to star in.  Also, if I win, I will totally (maybe) write one.

    • about the blogger

    Wendy Atterberry is a recent transplant to New York City via Chicago. You can often find her at some karaoke dive bar singing her repertoire, which includes "Midnight Train to Georgia," "Daniel," and most recently, "Sweet Dreams." Don't expect her to always hit the right notes. She lives in Manhattan with her boyfriend and two cats, and has a blog like everyone else.

    Alex Zalben is a writer living in New York City. He's written for McSweeney's, Modern Humorist and PulpSecret.com. As one-fifth of the sketch comedy group Elephant Larry, he has been written up in the New York Times, Chicago Tribune, and pretty much every other major publication. Their blog was named one of PC Magazine's Top Blogs for 2007, and they recently won an ECNY Award for their viral short, "Minesweeper: The Movie." Alex did not know love until he bought his first Mac.

    Steph Auteri is a freelance just-about-everything, with a special fondness for home goods she can't afford. She has been published in Publishers Weekly, New York Press and Nerve. She runs the blog selfhelpme.net, and her work can be found at stephiswrite.com.

    Diana Vilibert is a freelance writer, among other things. Born in Lithuania, she now lives in New Jersey, where she doesn't have to walk to work ten miles in the snow, barefoot, uphill both ways. Diana cannot afford most of the products she writes about because she buys too many pairs of heels to make up for her shoeless childhood. She's written for MarieClaire.com, Janemag.com, and CosmoGIRL!.
