as was I.  it was a name his wife had coined.  I think it went "you're supposed to be in here helping ...blah blah...and youre in here...!"   
I think you get the idea.  

 he used to make pounds of them for poker games and such.  that was when I first had peppered bacon.  once in awhile he'd twirl one around a cheese stick or a slim-jim and then fry it.
always wonder what happened to him.  Im betting his wife killed him...that or his diet
