Baconalia
It's things like this that make me regret my career choices. Instead of co-authoring a book that causes me to receive e-mail from earnest pharmacokineticists in Uganda and Sweden, I could have made a real contribution by going into advertising and coining words like "Baconalia". Which is sheer bloody genius, I think you'll agree.

When I first saw this commercial on TV the other day, my first thought was: Does anyone at Denneys actually know what a bacchanalia is?

I think the last two comments do a grave injustice to the advertising geniuses at Denny's. Paraphrasing from their website:
"At some point Baconalia sizzled out. Bacon historians contend that this could have been the result of a simple spelling mistake. Baconalia, the celebration of swine was misspelled "Bacchanalia", and confused with the Roman celebration of wine, which people then began to mistake for the original feast."

Ha ha! Love the wine/swine pun! I've been to Denny's only once, while my wife was giving birth to our second kid, and it was crap, but this ad has convinced me to try again.

You could have called the child Ham-let.

pappajoseph commented on the word baconalia
That's a good one, yarb. Perhaps we can call the place where baconalia is served as 'hamlet' too. Or for the community of people who enjoy it - which is more akin to the dictionary definition.

blafferty commented on the word baconalia
Hm, you're right - Baconlette was maybe the wrong choice.

You are my people and I love you all more than I can say. More than a maple bacon sundae or a BBBLT.
