Two Jim Bacons, Two Huge Boobs

There are a surprising number of “Jim Bacons” in the world. Besides me, there is my father, of course. There is the Hollywood reporter, now retired, who went by the byline of James Bacon. There also was the deceased premier of the Australian state of Tasmania. And last but not least, there is my West Coast alter ego, the proprietor of Mighty Big Media.

The “other” Jim Bacon is politically conscious, too, although his leanings may be harder to classify than mine. In a pandering effort to “titillate” my readers during the summer doldrums, I’m posting one of his political statements on Bacon’s Rebellion. You’ll probably find “Two Huge Boobs” to be more edifying than anything I write.

    Jim,
    There may be a “surprising number of Jim Bacons in the world” but, clearly, none has the demented, sick sense of humor you do.
    Keep up the excellent work.

    Our Jim Bacon, in Tasmania, died of lung cancer, his wife was brilliantly called Honey Bacon, and at Launcestons football ground York Park, there are the Jim Bacon gates.

    Thought you’d like to know, in case you fancy someone called Honey.

    Miles,

    “Honey” Bacon — that’s a classic. My step-mother’s nickname is “Sugar” Bacon, and my ex’s name is “Ginger” Bacon! I thought the practice of naming women after sweets and spices was a cultural attribute of the U.S. South. Now I know that it extends to the “south” of Australia!

    If I ever make it to Australia, I will absolutely, definitely for sure make a pilgrimage to Tasmania and the “Jim Bacon” gates.

    Peter,

    “Sick?” and “demented?” That’s the nicest thing you’ve ever said about me. Thanks!
