“Applying for a job”
I get it!
Huh? I thought the joke was him wearing that shirt and sitting next to a Rabbi.
Really?

Everything goes better with bacon, including Mel Brooks. If you get to see the HBO program with Dick Cavett and Mel Brooks in conversation for about an hour and a half before a live audience, it’s well worth it. Mel Brooks is recounting how “Blazing Saddles” got made. He was sitting down with the money man over bacon and eggs. There was an audible gasp from the audience and Mel Brooks shot back, “Yes, I had bacon!”
Brooks is a brilliant comedian but a lost Jew who abandoned his people.
Now you’ve gone too far, Mr. Shy Guy. What did Mel Brooks do that is so bad in your book? He ate bacon? He married a gentile? He made “Life Stinks?” I think you owe everyone here on IsraellyCool an apology….I’m waiting…Are you going to apologize or am I going to have to come over there and pound it out of you?
This shirt is from Harley Morenstein’s show on Youtube, EpicMealTime. Basically it’s about bacon. Lots of bacon. And other crazy food abominations.
For posterity, that shirt comes from a series of youtube videos called Epic Meal Time, created by 4 students from Montreal, Canada (two of whom are Jewish). These guys produce and star in a regular series in which they create absurdly gluttonous dishes inspired by more traditional meals. Watching these guys is probably the only reason I ever considered breaking kashrut.
For example, they made a fast food pizza. Instead of topping the pizza with pepperoni or vegetables, they top it with a half dozen Big Macs and Baconators from Wendy’s, chicken burgers, macaroni and cheese, etc etc.
Of course, their most common ingredient is bacon strips, which they put on pretty much everything.
This is their most famous video, the TurBacon Epic Thanksgiving dinner, in which they slow cook a duck in a turkey in a chicken in a whole roast pig: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Xc5wIpUenQ
