Bacon-themed clothing is nothing new, but BaconShirts.com has upped the ante, with Bacon Underpants! Blogadillettes, choose from two themes so far (also available are t-shirts, aprons, and onesies for the tiniest of bacon fans out there):
The “vintage” look has been around long enough to make nearly every college student look like a garage sale.
But there’s “vintage” and then there’s “VINTAGE.”
On July 30th, a pair of Levi’s 201 jeans dating from ~1890 sold for $36,099 on eBay to a guy named “vintboy1″ (pet hypothesis: it was Vin Diesel or Vincent Price). The jeans were found in a mine in California’s Mojave Desert, near the town of Randsburg.
These jeans may bear the world’s oldest skidmarks, and in the back pocket: perhaps the world’s oldest pocket lint and the world’s oldest receipt from a 7-Eleven. Goldminers were fond of Slurpees and not wearing underwear.
The bierbauch (which in German literally means “beer belly”) is essentially a camelbak for your stomach, making beer consumption easier than ever. Also from the makers of the bierbauch comes the getraenkebüstenhalter– a wine bra, so women can partake in the drinking action. Germans are equal opportunity drinkers!
Last April, British supermarket chain Tesco removed a model of padded bra from their shelves.
It was designed for 7-to-10-year-olds.
A Tesco representative said: “It is a product designed for girls at that self-conscious age when they are just developing. It is designed to cover up, not flatter, and was developed after speaking to parents.”
Last week’s episode of NBC’s “30 Rock” featured a fictitious reality TV show called “MILF Island” (clip below).
“Holy Hot Mamas!
But who will be the final Mommy You’d Like to . . . you know . . . ?
Twenty MILFs, fifty eighth grade boys, and no rules!
And tonight . . . one winner!
Welcome to MILF Island!”
This week, I bring you two bacon products– one tame; one risqué (and possibly NSFW). CHOOSE YOUR OWN BACON ADVENTURE! (OK, so what if it’s not as complex as those books that were all the rage when I was in elementary school?)
Tame Bacon: “Pocket Bacon”
‘Pocket Bacon‘ is crocheted from red and white yarn can be yours for the low price of $5.00 + S/H. As the artist says, this is “seriously the dumbest thing I have ever made but you guys seem to like it” and “You can use this as a bookmark but other than that I am at a loss, I mean, you SO TOTALLY need this.” Click the image below to order:
Risqué Bacon: The Bacon Bra
The Bacon Bra is quite possibly the strangest application of an uncooked meat product that I’ve seen– well, it comes close (read #31693)– and I’m not sure The Bacon Bra is safe for work, but I’m going to post it anyways, since there’s no nudity or anything. Suffice to say, if you hear your boss approaching, stop reading this page and switch to another tab in your browser until the coast is clear. Or, if you work in the garment industry, perhaps your boss will feel you’ve discovered an entire new line of products. You be the judge.
The good news here is that you can procure a bacon bra at your local supermarket without paying shipping and handling (woman not included; sorry guys). Personally, I’m thinking of creating and patenting the Bacon Jock Strap. Either that or the Bacon Manzier (the Bacon Bro?). Thoughts?
Yesterday was St. Patrick’s day. Which means that today, several of you have whiskey or green beer hangovers. Last night, in a bar, I was astounded to learn that there wasn’t a single Irish person in the room celebrating, and that the majority of the revelers had no clue that we were celebrating a Saint responsible for a snake-free Ireland. And all I wanted to do was smack the next person who asks me if I’m wearing green. I’m tempted to buy this shirt from T-Shirt Hell next year - my rebellion against a holiday whose meaning has become lost in Palo Alto, California.
If you’re like me and can’t live without Internet access, pick up from ThinkGeek the only known item that both clothes you, and also lets you know when you’re in a WiFi-enabled area. Not bad, for only $29.99… just make sure to take out the battery before you wash it!
This one is true. Even though we all wish it wasn’t.
In Japan, there are vending machines that sell underwear. Schoolgirls’ underwear. Previously worn and unwashed schoolgirls’ underwear.
Yes - an entire industry of trading-in the day’s underwear for a new pair. And underwear sold with a photo of the underwearer can fetch a higher price. The almighty Snopes has a nice article on this subject, which they report to be true.
