Klout, the online scoring thing of social media, apparently thinks I’m influential in “bacon”. How does one influence someone about bacon? Is it a peer pressure thing? Do I carry around bacon bits in my purse and convince you to eat some? Do I convince you to use bacon fat as lip balm? (it’s like a lip smacker, only porkier!) I am sorry Miss Piggy, I am apparently the arbiter of your doom.
If I am influential in bacon, I also want to be influential about peanut butter. I eat it way more, like it a lot better, and they are often sold in single serving pouches-eliminating the messy bacon bits issue. Plus, they’re delicious if combined.
What I find hilarious is that I eat bacon MAYBE once per week, I run 5x that amount. Am I influential in running? Of course not, that would be too obvious. My goal is to rack up as many arbitrary topics as I can. I am *really* hoping to become influential about clog dancing. I’ve never done it, wouldn’t know where to get the snazzy footwear, and I am pretty sure I’d fall flat on my face. I still want to influence you to clog dance. IT’S ALL THE RAGE PEOPLE?!?!? Didn’t you just read that somewhere?
I am influential in food, which makes sense because I eat some at least three times a day. I’d like to influence you fine people to eat some too! How about an egg dish? Yes? Can I influence you to make an Israeli egg dish? I promise, it’s good. Just try it. Takes very little time. I promise. (Can you feel me influencing you? Does that sound dirty?) This is called “Shaksuka” but it’s probably more easily remembered as “eggs poached in spicy tomato sauce”.
