I claim this bacon/tilde ASCII art in the name of Zeigen
Everyone is familiar with <3 representing a heart, and ~~~`~,~~<@ representing a rose, and \o being a wave hello, and @#!@$@#:-) being Carmen Miranda, but in my latest Gchat status update discussed today on FriendFeed, I believe I was first to suggest that the tilde (~) represents bacon.
Five seconds of Googling did not contradict me. Please, let me have this.
Enjoy some bacon:

If I were smart, I’d backdate this post to 2003.

Do Unicode characters count, or are we strictly 7-bit ASCII here?

Argh! Showed up as a bunch of ?’s. Unicode to the anti-rescue!

BTW, did you guys see the “~@~” in GMail chat thread?

If ~ represents bacon, then I claim ~~~~~~~~~~~~Xo(_ as a massive coronary heart attack.

Hm, so 6 strips of bacon gets you a rose?

Yes. Chop off the <@ and you’re left with delicious bacon.
Similarly, cut a heart <3 in half, and you’re left with a look to the left <.

Slacy, I didn’t see that, what’s the ~@~ in Gmail?
