Seattle only, YMMV. Still, it's FREE bacon!!!!! :bounce2:

The bacon man cometh, to South Lake Union and Fremont.

Seriously, he's giving out free bacon to anyone who asks, courtesy of Microsoft.

Microsoft is trying to double the size of its Kinect for Windows engineering team (http://slickdeals.net/forums/../?&u2=http://microsoftjobs-k4w.com/) [microsoftjobs-k4w.com (http://slickdeals.net/forums/../?&u2=http://microsoftjobs-k4w.com/)] in Redmond, from 35 to 70, and it hired ad agency Wexley School for Girls to add some sizzle. Wexley dreamed up the campaign, with the tagline "Wake up and Smell the Future."

The promo made its debut today in the shadow of Amazon.com headquarters in South Lake Union, where a stream of bacon lovers braved the downpour for free strips of Swinery pepper bacon.

Also free were toppings, including spray cheese, Sriracha, peanut butter, maple syrup and chocolate sauce.

Serious candidates may even get a bacon air freshener.

Umm, wouldn't they double the size of their team if they ate all the bacon themselves? :confused:

Now don't you feel silly? I expect my reps back too and only fine, high quality reps like VQ gives out, none of the hillbilly, backwoods, survivalist reps that your friends give out. :harhar:
