The Invention of the Fatty

[dirt guy]

Umm yeah, actually, they said it was going to cost a LOT of money to get this changed. So if everyone could just drop a couple hundred bucks in the mail to me, I'd really appreciate it.

Jay, how much is that in Pesos? It's all I have right now.

I think I knew her, didn't she have a sister named Alka?

That's cool. If you can direct us to the article that would be great. I'm not trying to beat these guys up at all. I just wanted the record in wikipedia to be straight.

I've got school age kids and they do a lot of research for homework on wikipedia. I use it too quite a bit and I've never had a problem with it until I realized anyone can really put up any sort of misinformation they want.

Well, here's one from their blog, dated Dec 2008, with references in it (and the comments) to fatties: http://www.bbqaddicts.com/blog/recipes/bacon-explosion/

This is the NY Times article from last January, though: http://www.nytimes.com/2009/01/28/di...acon.html?_r=1

Lol...This makes me feel like I'm defending them, which I'm not. If they're perpetuating "We invented the fatty" BS, then they should be called out. I'm just trying to relay what I have read.
