XOXO. i knew this was a bunch of PBA kids as soon as i saw the 'BLESSED HOLIDAY.' Hark! let it be known that the word blessed is strictly reserved for christian circles. To Christian lingo! To rearranging the letters in SANTA to spell SATAN! To blessed, blessed sailfish swimming through the sea of the holidays!
I'll be waiting for the fat man in the red suit with a baseball bat again this year. I'm tired of him breaking into my house, stealing my cookies and drinking my milk.
Christmas is over, dudes. The infrequence of new posts on the Bacon is making it obsolete. I know that everyone has been on siesta during the holidays, but now is the time to serve up something fresh.
I'm just a little verklempt. A little emotional, little verklempt. Talk amongst yourselves. I'll give you a topic. The Progressive Era was neither progressive nor an era. Discuss!
That took me two minutes. Do you want me to keep going? I could even flesh out the satire in each if you need me to.
It's not about a lack of stories, it's really more about laziness. The Bacon used to make a story about anything going on, even the lack of cookies in the cafe. How newsworthy was that episode? And yet, the Bacon made us laugh about it.
New students coming to campus. The satire could be about their disallusionment with the benefits of a Christian college and disappointment with finding out PBA is run by power-hungry selfish bigots. The Bacon loves them stories that slam the administration so this would have been an easy opportunity to do it again.
Ravenous Florida fans for football game. Couple of angles here including PBA changing it's school colors to Blue and Orange, the irony of more school spirit for the Gators than the Sailfish, or security needing to hire extra guards to keep the campus safe after Gator fans riot on the Rinker Green.
PETA wanting us to change our name to sea kittens. Too easy, even the Bacon couldn't have messed this one up.
Security wearing bulletproof vests. Could tie it in the the Gator story or do something about wanting to look stronger so they put these on instead of hit the weightroom. Seriously, have you seen Brandon in his? The vest even makes him look a little intimidating.
Students carpooling to watch Obama's inaguration. The best angle would be students carpool to D.C. for the second coming of Jesus. The Bacon would never do it because they love the left, but if they were unbiased, it would be the perfect satire story to write.
If you actually want these story ideas published, send The Bacon an email (baconnews@gmail.com). Putting them in the comments makes it less likely these will be written since the surprise is spoiled.
The Bacon really does rely on its readers for ideas, though not every one is good.
Lots of ideas x Certain percent worth publishing = A steady flow of delicious Bacon.
The Bacon is the official, authoritative and credible news source of the students of PBA. It is written by all students who wish to contribute their work.
Never before have you seen such a devotion to truth, accuracy, might and valor embodied in the written word and occasional picture. We strive for accuracy and integrity in every article. If you did not hear it from us, it's probably true.
If we make fun of you here at The Bacon, it means we like you. Seriously, it's all in good fun.
"Seeing my picture on The Bacon is surely one of the proudest moments of my life." –Dr. Mahanes, former Vice President of Religious Life
A request:
We'd like to ask those who comment on our stories to refrain from cheap shots against individuals. The Bacon is about challenging ideas, not slamming other people.
"What a stagnant world it would be if we all just left things that we didn't "like" rather than working to improve ideas, discuss, and debate them." -Bekah Grim

What's wrong with that?
Blessed be to you, O'Sheas!
Or should I say, 'Happy Kwanzaxmashannakah?"
i love that picture
Merry Christmas, Bacon. I look forward to a new semester of good humor.
Later,
K-Dub
Merry Christmas Bacon!
I'll be waiting for the fat man in the red suit with a baseball bat again this year. I'm tired of him breaking into my house, stealing my cookies and drinking my milk.
Feliz navidad everybody
Happy neo-pagan feast day, PBA. May the gifts under your enormous, decorated phallic symbols be all that you hope for.
Thank you, Bacon, for filling my college life with snickers and guffaws.
Now on to become a confused alum.
I'm stuck inside of Max Power with the West Palm blues again.
Christmas is over, dudes.

Dudes, wait for the semester to start, because whatever you do now is gonna be stupid.
Yeah, seriously. Check-in doesn't even start until Friday. You just took whining to a new level.
I agree.
But Monday I WANT SOMETHING!
There are so many stories you are missing out on.
I'm just a little verklempt. A little emotional, little verklempt. Talk amongst yourselves. I'll give you a topic. The Progressive Era was neither progressive nor an era. Discuss!

Name one story that the bacon has missed out on. It is only the third day of classes.
New students coming to campus
Ravenous Florida fans for football game
PETA wanting us to change our name to sea kittens
Security wearing bulletproof vests
Students carpooling to watch Obama's inaguration

Dude, all those are stupid.
I must say I would love to see something about PBA becoming Sea Kittens!
