Hanging Bacon

In the first installment of Educating Ricky Karl enlightened Ricky and Steve by explaining the origin of the phrase "chewing the fat." Ricky found Karl's story less entertaining than Hairy Chinese Kid or Alien Gives Man a Beard, but also more plausible. There appears to be no definitive origin for the expression.<ref>http://everything2.com/title/Chew+the+fat</ref> There is some support for Karl's theory, although the first recorded use of the expression indicates it may be more recent than 'ages ago.'
