There are few individuals on this planet (real or fictional) who possess the raw intelligence of Ron Swanson.

Ron's passion for bacon and lowering taxes is a unique combination that makes him a fan-favorite character on Parks and Recreation. Through his knowledge, masculinity, and love of bacon, Ron has provided us with several pieces of advice to manage the college experience.
