Chapter 23: Disadvantages of Bacon Overdose

Bacon produces blood pressure

Disadvantages of Bacon Overdose is chapter 23 of Joey's Special Experience.

## Summary

Cepelis reveals that bacon can produce blood pressure, and categorizing emotions can defeat vampires. Jack the Rapper then reveals that his mother was killed by the EU, and everyone is doomed as a result. He then jumps into a hole and says "to be continued" even though it's only the third page. Joost recognizes this place as a place soldiers in the middle ages trained in. How does she know? Well, she hid some of them in a closet. Sus!

Cepelis pours a glass of wine and tosses it over to Joost, instructing her to avoid non-alcoholic fish. Bullet Train is downright confused. Cepelis also tells Joost to fill the already full glass of wine with more wine and throw it at Jack's face. Bullet Train cannot stand seeing the man he loves facing Jack like that and begs Cepelis to do something else. But Joost is set on defeating Jack, and leaves.

After Joost leaves, Cepelis decides to tell Coffee Maker the story of an Indian fisherman, who also happens to be a pope. He's also 3 feet tall and lives a meter under the sea, killing a lot of people. One day he decided to attack a boat, but in the end hopped onto it instead. Cepelis then reveals that he met the pope afterwards, giving him a copy of The Shining before killing him. What a strange story. This act somehow made the pope a hero.

Meanwhile Joost is walking through a dark spooky area, and gets spooked by fire. From behind, Jack jumps out with a weird rib cage device meant to trap Joost and shred her body into pieces. Jack calls it a nice door. Joost manages to dodge this attack and realizes that the best way to defeat Jack is to turn off the light and shoot Jack to the point where he'll be amazed. However Jack is aware of this plan to trick him with the lights off and plans to ambush Joost. Joost boosts her morale by pretending she's fighting her lifelong enemy, the Philippines, and is able to use her wine glass to control ham.

Joost uses blood pressure built from eating bacon to buy Jack a bad mom, hitting the wall with her attack "Hamon Car Overload". This attack kills Jack, freeing him from prejudice at least. Cepelis is impressed by Joost.

## Lore notes

* Jack seems to have a foot fetish.
* Bacon producing blood pressure is actually rooted in real life fact, as bacon and other processed foods can increase blood pressure.
* The events unfolding remind Cepelis of the First World War. The mention of Norwegian right after may imply Norway was involved in this conflict - or Scandinavia as a whole (also implied with “Not Scandinavia again”). They were probably fighting against the EU. Perhaps Jackie Chan’s dead mother was Scandinavian and died in World War I?
* Cepelis may be genderfluid (“Baroness Zeppelia”).
* Cepelis is a military leader. He either had a role in the Chinese military when he was still on their side, or Joost hired him to lead the EU military. Possibly both.
* The EU is also fighting the Philippines in WWII. It makes sense they are allied with China due their close proximity geographically.
* World War II is once again mentioned by name. This is legit.
* Cepelis compares the wind to Scandinavia. He probably fought in World War I there - how early did he leave China then? If China was not involved in WWI…
