Bacon Product of the Week: Cinnamon Bacon Rolls!

Friday, October 17th, 2008

As Mr. B of BaconToday points out, strips of bacon are almost identical in size to unrolled cinnamon rolls.

Cinn-o-bacon rolls!

How to:

Step 1: Buy ready-to-bake cinnamon rolls and some bacon.

Step 2: Pre-heat oven to 425 degrees.

Step 3: Unroll cinnamon roll on baking sheet.

Step 4: Roll up each cinnamon roll with one strip of bacon inside

Step 5: Bake cinn-o-bacon rolls for 15 minutes

Step 6: Drizzle icing on rolls as directed; let cool enough so you don’t burn your face off.

Step 7: Eat & Enjoy.

Step 8: Post on Blogadilla to let us know how these worked out for you.

X Girls, Y Cups

In case you don’t know what this refers to, I don’t recommend it.  Blogadilla had made a sock puppet version of the video, but apparently YouTube took it down.  Blast!!

Note: Apparently since the creation of this image and ensuing linkage in the blogosphere, original Google search results no longer accurate. Still Amusing.

100 Words

Sunday, October 12th, 2008

Blogadilla reader Melissah has come up with — or at the very least, championed — a great way of writing on her blog: every day, write a story of no more than 100 words. The random snapshots of worlds she provides are great; this particular story, “Megadik,” convinced me to blog about her project. Caution: not for the faint of heart (and be advised that much of her work is tame).

Mikey sat in a corner of his bedroom, surrounded by a moat of his own vomit and covered in Veronica’s blood. In fact, there was hardly a corner of the room that wasn’t smattered with gore or bile or pieces of torn entrails. The bed was the worst, of course. That was where Veronica – what was left of Veronica, lay on either side of the bed. She had been torn in two.

Between his legs, Mikey’s artificially enhanced member throbbed. It had ripped her apart, just as the spam message had claimed it would. His penis had killed Veronica.

Upon further review, it appears this project died October 12, 2008 — a year ago to the day. Bring it back, Mel!

CNN has to get rid of that stupid voter reaction graph… At least while McCain is talking. Every time I look at the screen I think, ‘Oh my God, he’s dead.’

From Best to Worst Man in 10 Seconds

Think it isn’t possible to go from “best man” to “guy we’ll never talk to again because you destroyed my special day” in 10 seconds? Think again.

hahahahaha!

Sunday, October 5th, 2008

Variants of “haha” play an ever-increasing role in online conversations, but “ha” plays a very different role than “hahahaha.”  With this handy-dandy ‘ha-ometer,’ you can finally understand the degree to which your counterpart is actually interested in what you’re saying, or just feigning interest:
