<p>I've declared this week Name Change Week. The challenge is to change your name regularly. Yes, it's a couple days into the week already, and yes, there's nothing really productive about it and it has about as much substance as a flash mob, and yes, the cat is still upside down, and yes, we still only have 7 members in the group, and yes, bacon!</p>

<p>Okay, so here's the motto as I see it: Bacon, it's not just a pork bi-prodict, it's a way of life.</p>
<p>I long for the day when someone reads a piece I've written, sighs, waxes philosophical, then places the fingers ever so lightly on the keyboard and taps out that glorious, glorious word: Bacon. </p>
<p>Ahhhhhhhh, bacon, the sweet, smoky smell of success.</p>

<p>Our new catch phrase: "Bacon!" Okay, it's not really a phrase but just a word, but it's still catch. I propose that if you meet any of your fellow Metapuckishers on the street, you greet them with a hearty, "Bacon!" For now, I'm going to use that as my comment on stories I like.</p>
<p>Sally, what you said is what we're all about here at Metapuckish--"its abiding need to not take itself, the art of writing, of reading, of critiquing, too seriously." </p>
<p>However, I do take bacon seriously. That's about it. Bacon!</p>
