We might be able to work something out, although I have to say my job situation is kind of effed at the moment, as I usually find out if i have to work the night before I am supposed to go in the next morning. It’s a bunch of BS and I’m trying to work my way out of it, but there’s that, and I should stop before I end up writing a dissertation on how whack it all is. But, yes, otherwise that would be nice.

Ha-haaa! Oh man, I genuinely don’t wish harm upon you, Catastrophysicist, but if you had a long, photo-documented blog post about eating the sandwich and then going to the ER I’m afraid I would laugh so hard I’d blow a gasket.

And yes, you can’t make the sandwich in Portland. You know, Mike and I will be passing through Portland soon, maybe we should stop by?

Zombie Jesus: at first I read your context wrong, and I thought you wanted me to make the sandwich, try to eat it, and document my imminent Heart Attack, which actually sounds like a good blog post. But then I caught on, and what you meant is that you suggest I share it with other people, which I would do if I weren’t surrounded by all these damned vegetarians and vegans and people on a so-called diet and what-not! I would have to eat the whole effing thing by default!

Just…wow. He ate more than one sometimes? One is, like, three days’ worth of food. Poor, poor fat Elvis.

Catastrophysicist: Make one and share, dude! No single human should ever, ever eat that much bread, bacon and peanut butter in one sitting…although I did eat half a Boston cream pie today.

Back in my meat-eating days I was known to get a sammich from the Evergreen CAB that was cheese, bacon, turkey, probably something else…beef, mebby? No vegetables whatsoever. Anyway, this thing was just a big brick of meat, cheese and mayo on white bread, just one step down from a Bacon Ultimate Cheeseburger. It was pretty great.

Okay, so, like five or six years ago my boyfriend, our housemate and I all decided that we should make Classic Elvis sandwiches. And I found these small french loaves at the grocery store, and between three of us we used up about 1.5 pounds of bacon, a jar of peanut butter, six bananas (we discovered it tasted best with A LOT of banana) and then the remainder of the bacon fat.

The condition of making the sandwiches, I grandly announced, was that we could never make them again. It was a once-in-a-lifetime deal. Immediately afterward both my boyfriend and our housemate said they were going to eat another one. And now, years later, we still haven’t made another one, but Mike (the BF) talks it about it practically every week. For reals.

You know, I was toying with the idea of making the famous PB-Bacon & Banana Sandwich for a blog post, but I’m not sure I have the balls to make it actual size, because that would mean I’d actually have to eat it. I love bacon, but shit ninja. . .
