1. And either way, who would want such a bag?

   Lady Gaga?

2. Use it to take bacon home from the supermarket.

   1. Now that calls for some Procol Harum:

3. It could be worse.

   It could be a beefcase.

   1. HA! You win the internets today.

   2. 😎

4. I think it is calcite or something like it. Meant to be an art piece?

   1. Yes, its a sculpture, quite large and beautifully done. See the linked web page. But now I can’t un-see the bacon……

   2. From the way the light plays through it, I’d tend towards anhydrite (a.k.a. alabaster) rather than calcite. Also softer and easier to carve finely – the Egyptians loved it.
      Complaining about the wrong mineralogy in an artist’s caption is as satisfying as complaining about someone pointing at a spider and screaming about “bugs!”

5. It looks heavy.

6. Mineral calcite or cured pig-meat?

   Throw it on the grill for a few minutes, put a slice of bread on each side and then try to eat it. If it is the greatest of all culinary experiences, it is bacon. If it breaks all your teeth, it is calcite.

   1. I like that test!

7. If its prosciutto it would go well with my mustard wallet.

8. If they want attention like that then why not a propeller beanie? Probably a lot cheaper and will definitely turn some heads.

9. My dog says she’ll take that bag off your hands if you don’t want it.

10. Trivial prosciutto.

    1. Bloody fookin’ awesome comment.

       1. Helps if you know the eastern urban Italian-American pronunciation, “brah-ZHOOT” 🙂

11. I dunno, it doesn’t look kosher to me…

12. She does the same sculpture over and over out of different materials, but it’s freaky how she manages to create that illusion of softness. It looks like it’s made of out a very fancy printed leather instead of marble.

    1. The Persian Marble and Belgian Black Marble are especially fine looking.
