The Week of the Bacon (Bacon Week)

Rejoice, young Owenists!

Owen's command to "eat bacon everyday all week, sometimes twice a day" goes into effect immediately. Bacon consumption is to be followed by a long period of rest and usually involves libations to the great Prophet Liam Neeson.

The story goes that bacon was the preferred meat of the Olympians before Owen vanquished them, replacing the gods with goofy, grinning statues of himself. His consumption of the fatty hog meat sent Owen into a stupor which lasted an entire week. When Owen finally recovered from his bacon binge, he had ascended his throne to divinity.

Today, Owen began a trend soon to be followed across the world. Bacon Week, also hereby known as the Feast of Owen or "The Week of the Bacon" occurs annually during the final week of April.

This is also the first official holiday of the Owenist religion. The Feast of Owen is "a fun holiday, bringing joy to many," and "cardiac arrest to few."


Devoted followers of bacon Owen:
