<h3>What&#8217;s shakin&#8217;, bacon?</h3>
<p><a href="http://gristmill.grist.org/story/article/quantum-of-greenness">James Bond</a> likes to pig out on a breakfast that&#8217;s bacon, not stirred. While filming, the sizzling star would have no solace until he <a href="http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/showbiz/bizarre/article1898014.ece" target="new">brought home the bacon</a>.

<h3>All iPhone want for Christmas</h3>
<p>Santa baby, slip an iPhone under the tree, for me. Think of all the <a href="http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/technology/2008/11/iphone-users-ca.html" target="new">shared rides I&#8217;ve missed</a>, think of all the <a href="http://afp.google.com/article/ALeqM5iPaEC1QuUgnz45jRkjvnG_I-kVww" target="new">new trees</a> that now would exist. Next year, I could be just green, if you&#8217;ll check off my iPhone app list.</p>

<h3>Frown, you&#8217;re on candid camera!</h3>
<p>Littering: $35. <a href="http://in.reuters.com/article/entertainmentNews/idINIndia-36556820081118?sp=true" target="new">Plastic-bag use</a>: $50.

<h3>Cranberry sauced</h3>
<p>We hate to ruffle any feathers, but due to our impending Tofurky hangover, Grist List will be canned next week. Your usual dose of puns and potty humor will return Dec. 5.</p>
