And this time around, it was a rather nifty submission from someone who had been a bridesmaid once or twice here, but had never secured an award for themselves... and it really ups the ante, which is something I appreciate in an entry.
You see, Matt Finarelli from Deglazed was left home alone by his wife and he decided to get himself a little tattoo of a wonderful delicious animal, a tattoo that was in part inspired by an episode of the Simpsons entitled "Lisa the Vegetarian", so it is a nice two for one deal. And the fact that he now has a permanent reminder of his love of cooking and the Simpsons on his body, well, I have to recognize that. It is a truly marvelous entry.
And what better way to celebrate this momentous win but with an image from that very same episode? I can't think of one, so here it is... Homer Simpson with a pig ready for roasting just moments before it is taken away from him. It is a delight to give this Homer Simpson Transmundanity Award to Matt for the pain he caused himself in the pursuit of a Simpsonian and Food-related goal. Huzzah!
Congrats Matt on winning your first award here. May it not be the last.
The rules of this little contest: Every week I will be selecting one blog post that I have seen from the vast reaches of the blogosphere to bestow with the Homer Simpson Transmundanity Award for being one of the freakiest(in a funny way) things I've seen or read during a 7 day period. It doesn't necessarily have to have been written during the week, I just had to have encountered it. That means that if you find something interesting and repost it like a movie or whatever, if I saw it at your blog first, you get the prize. Of course, creating your own content is also a very good way to win.
Now, if you see a post that you think is worthy of this illustrious prize, just drop me a line at campybeaver@gmail.com and we'll see if we can't get your suggestion up and award-ready while giving you some credit and a link to your own blog.

I'd like to thank the Academy and any other people I stepped on to reach this goal.
Thanks Matt - I'd like to say that the only reason I made it Simpson's related was to suck up to the judge's panel, but as a long-term fan of the show, I knew it had to be part of the tattoo.
And now for a neat piece of trivia I once heard from that episode:
If you play the music they play at the end - while the pig is flying through the air - backwards, you can hear Paul McCartney reading a recipe for lentil soup. How awesome is that?
MMMMMMMMMMMMmmmm.... bacon!!!!
The soup, is it mulagatawny or is it Italian styled lentil? Inquiring minds want to know!!
Matt: Now I have to check that out.
Maven: Bacon is a great food item all around.
