The ham is bacon.

A couple days ago, my family put a gun to my head and told me to go get them breakfast, "or else."

So, because I give zero shits about the health of myself or anyone involved, my soon-to-be clogged arteries and I drove to McDonald's.  Because that's where you go if it's 9 a.m. and you've already lost respect for yourself for the day.


"I'd like a large Number One with extra mayo and a side of infinite sadness, please.  And a diet coke."

One of the orders I was given was to substitute ham for bacon on the bacon, egg and cheese bagel.  But, upon arriving at the Magic Talking Box, I found out there's no such thing as ham in the Ronald's world.

Now, readers, you're about to learn something about me that I've never told anyone before.

I didn't know there was a difference between regular bacon and Canadian bacon.  Observe.



"Welcome to McDonald's, how may 
I raise your cholesterol today?"





"I WANNA GET FAT."





"Would you like to try a something-something [static]?"




How's that?  Oh fuck, nevermind.  Look, 
I just need a bacon, egg and cheese bagel.
But instead of the bacon, I'd like ham.




"You want that with Canadian bacon?"






"Actually, ham would be great.  You know, 
the first thing I said.  Not bacon.  Ham."




"So that's a Number Twelve with 
Canadian Bacon and a large Sprite.  
Anything else?"




"FUCK."





Let me rationalize my stupidity to you.




This is bacon.  It is crispy.  It is in strips.

This is the way I have always known bacon to be.




This is ham.  It comes in a big hunk, then is cut into thinner slices for sandwiches, subs and Egg McMuffins.








Like this McMuffin here.

<--- Ham?  Looks deceptively like ham.  Guess what?  It's not ham.






It's Canadian fucking bacon.  Bitches.








Is this common knowledge?  I've always thought the shit was ham.  I mean, really, Canada?  You're good at hockey, I'll give you that.  But you suck at bacon.  You suck hard.  Is all your food backwards?


Canadian chicken.


Canadian ham?  Why the fuck not, I guess.

Whatever.  I don't get it.  From now on I'm going to Chick-fil-A instead.

Tell me something totally stupid you've said, done or thought and make me feel like less of a jackass.  As always, keep up with the complete and utter disregard for intelligence on Canadian Twitter and Canadian Facebook.

  1. I'm no expert, but I'm sure even if it was ham, it would give you the McShits the same way as bacon. I once ordered a "Fruit & Nut Salad". They gave me a cup of fruit & a bag of nuts. WTF? Where is my salad, eh? (<--My attempt at a Canadian accent). They upgraded my order to a different "salad" that tasted a lot like Canadian ass. Horrible.

  3. @Pookle - That fruit and nut salad sounds amazing--

    --ly bad.

    I mean I know we can't expect much from fast food, but I'd at least like everything put together when I get it.

    And you're totally right about the McShits. I'm surprised my toilet hasn't rebelled.

    @Annah - Haha thanks. I thought about going into education but I feel my methods would be a little unorthodox.

    "Timmy. What's four times three?"

    "Um. Sixteen?"

    "FUCK."

I've said too much, so I'll let you take it from here.
