Headin’ to Indianapolis for my annual “boys” weekend at the Big 10 Tournament (Go Right Through for MSU) and I’m not taking my laptop so no “real” posts until Monday.

But don’t worry my ten’s of readers, I will still have something new for ya.  Yesterday I had the bright idea that I would document everything I drink all weekend long.  I will be taking photos and posting via my Twitter / TwitPic account.  Any bacon consumed will also be duly noted.

So there’s that…should be at least vaguely interesting (and maybe slightly shocking yet impressive for a 38 year old man).

Have a great weekend everyone.  In the immortal word’s of “Hoosiers” Jimmy Chitwood,

“I’ll make it.”

Maybe…

and a picture is worth a thousand words…

It’s the BEER POUCH SWEATSHIRT.  In your standard athletic heather gray.

This is GENIUS!!  Yeah, it’s kinda white trashy, but psssst…little secret between you and me, so am I sometimes  

I could use this for my trip to Indy this weekend for the Big 10 Tournament.

Now what would make it better?  How about a sleeve pouch for a bottle opener (although I am thinking the demographic that buys this mostly drinks twist-offs)? Extra pouches for additional beers?  Insulate the pouch to keep the beer cooler longer?  Built in sipping tube so the beer never has to leave the pouch?  A NASCAR or Harley Davidson logo?  Possibilities are endless.

Interested in picking one of these up? Head over to Vat19.com.

Sorry – I’m a day late…. here are your advertised bacon specials at Michigan grocery store chains for the week of 3/9 – 3/15/10.

SHOUT OUT to Amy (a peep in Peoria) for sending me this recipe last week.

We’ve featured similar recipes before but I’m such a sucker for homemade mac and cheese and this just looks so good.

Hit the jump for the full recipe… [Read more →]

As it is my duty to inform you (my 10’s of readers) about any and all things bacon, I humbly present the bacon rocket!

Yes, that is right…they made a rocket out of bacon.  Now I applaud them for their ingenuity and creativity but there is a part of me that can’t get over what a waste of tasty, tasty pork this really is.

I mean, you could at least eat the bacon AK-47 after you took the pictures you needed to document such a feat, but this… (tear)

Popped over to see my Lil’ Bro yesterday, grab a few beers, chill a bit…

While I was waiting on my brother I happened to look down at Jack Attack’s (my nephew) play kitchen and what did I see?

That’s my boy!

This new video from OK Go is TEARING up the Googleverse!!  It made the Yahoo homepage today it’s so hot!

In three words…it is awesome!!!  A single tracking shot of a Rube Goldberg inspired masterpiece.  You have to watch it several times to really enjoy both the simplicity and complexity of it…

But what has this to do with bacon?  Well, it reminded me of the opening scene from one of my favorite movies… [Read more →]
