Few know that bacon, while tasty and perfect in nearly every way, is the second least logical breakfast meat*

(*Canadian bacon is least logical, of course, because it doesn’t look or taste like its namesake. It is also the nicest.)

Thanks again to Dorkchop for his meaty drawings.

makes up one pint

1. Fry up three strips of bacon.
2. Add cooked bacon to a clean pint sized mason jar. Trim the ends of the bacon if they are too tall to fit in the jar. Or you could go hog wild and just pile in a bunch of fried up bacon scraps. Optional: add crushed black peppercorns.
3. Fill the jar up with vodka. Cap and place in a dark cupboard for at least three weeks. That’s right – I didn’t refrigerate it.
4. At the end of the three week resting period, place the bacon vodka in the freezer to solidify the fats. Strain out the fats through a coffee filter to yield a clear filtered pale yellow bacon vodka.

Decant into decorative bottles and enjoy.

Michelle Allen, 32, was arrested after repeated acts of disorderly conduct in Middletown, OH,  local police said.

Her offenses included chasing children while drunk and urinating on her neighbor’s front porch.

She had been hired to wear the bovine outfit to promote a theme park.  After her drunken rampage, Ms Allen hurled out a series of obscenities while she was being placed under arrest.

Meat Truck would now like to guess the name of the theme park Michelle was promoting:

Sick Flags.

Eggo Land.

Malt Dizzyland.

Bitch Flags.

Crotch Berry Farm.

Cider Point.

Tragic Mountain.

Rarely paired in nature, a cat named Snickers and a misplaced strip of bacon have formed a unique friendship. Bacon is a great listener and keeps Snickers company when she’s lonely. Snickers provides feline transportation throughout all of the rooms in the house that bacon had never been before. Best friends forevaah.

Thanks to Sir Loin for this contribution.  This is a fine way to wake up in the morning.  The breakfast of a champ.*

Shawn Hartigan entertained children at a Brookfield, WI block party this Saturday afternoon by making bacon “magically” appear and disappear.

He was asked to leave when he showed off his sausage tricks.

This is one of those videos that makes me laugh every single time I watch it.

Meat Truck suggested listening:

The BACON MACHINE was designed by tinkerers Daniel Schoonover and Martin McBriarty upon realizing that the delectable fried meat treat could be improved incredibly by making it beautiful to the ears as well as the tongue. Rob Pedicone, a local meat baron and industrial tycoon, was the major benefactor in financing the project. However, a massive error in calculation turned it into a band instead. So much for science.

When Rob passed away while attempting to stifle a massive uprising of mistreated Portuguese hogs, the cogs of the Machine turned with a solemn creakiness. Knowing the bond the mechanism had with its late proprietor would not easily be broken, the tinkerers worked frantically to bring it back up to speed, but to no avail. It wasn’t until the gifted mechanic and chemist J.P. Wright was called upon to grease up the gears with his own secret synthetic lard variation that the Machine began to function with an efficiency beyond any reasonable estimate.

So, if you’re into spacey free jazz jamming and angular rhythms and clowny doodles, check out the videos and give it a listen.
