Here’s a brief report from the BACON CUP’s start-up show this morning where thousands of people showed up in front of ‘The Arch Of Triumph’ to see what all the fuzz about the BACON CUP was about.

10:00 PM

Anders Thörntorp showed up on stage as host and starter up by saying; “Welcome to BACON DAY!“. After a brief introduction of all the participating teams and the time scheme for todays activity Weezer came on stage and played the official BACON CUP song called “PIG”.

10:18 PM

A stunned and silent crowd stood speechless, while Anders Thörntorp welcomed the press to come inside for the big press conference. The stalls outside were ready to serve all the fans who could not make it into the rain-free and warm rooms – Naturally, there was free beer and bacon wrapped sausages in several variants to the bereaved fans, while the ‘Old Monk’ took over the show outside for the fans, during the press conference.

10:25 PM

The press conference started and an seemingly enjoyed Mentor C, who were flanked by Rheino and Coach Bruun started up by simultaneously saying “WELCOME ALL OF YOU! WE’RE SO GLAD YOU CAME!“. The press loved it and soon the good mood were reflected in the questions and the panel answered with a wide ear-to-ear toothpaste smile. A lot of questions were answered, but as the clock rapidly got near 11:00 PM, Mentor C stated to the press that it was time to end the press conference, as there also had to be time left for all of those people that makes this possible…The fans, whom were standing outside freezing and eager to hear much, much more about the BACON CUP from the ‘pig’s own mouth.

11:01

An ecstatic crowd – which had stood outside and watched the press conference on the big screen, while singing chants accompanied by Old Munk – cheered like mad when Mentor C went on stage.
The red haired savage with the ‘Obelix-look’, aka Mentor C, raised his arms while he spread his fingers and slowly he lowered his arms again to hush the crowd.

The day BACON dies… is the day we all die!… I don’t wanna die – do you!?………..Well then let’s start this thing! Let’s celebrate the first ever BACON-DAY!…TOGETHER, ALONG, CONNECTED AND UNITED! I officially hereby opens the 1 st. edition of the BAAAAAAAAACON CUUUUUUUP!

The crowd went crazy and soon they were chanting his name again and again “Mentor C Mentor C Mentor C….“. Firework sprung out in bright daylight, the music blasted out of the speakers and pure euphoria had conquered this memorable day for all BACON lovers!

I swear I even saw a pig smiling!
