The interweb and its mystical network of tubes brings people together - like people who have a profound love for bacon and who recognize the magic that bacon brings to the world.
I’d like to introduce you to our new comrades in arms:
Lords of Bacon
They dig bacon = they are family.
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):

I went to Wendy’s this afternoon, I had to try their “Baconator” - in the name of science, bacon, and all that is awesome.
It was like when I found out that Santa Claus wasn’t real.
All the ingredients were there, but they didn’t look like the advertisement photos and they tasted like greasy sadness.
This type of thing is also why I will never go on dating websites or get a mail-order bride: rarely is anything as awesome as its marketing photo.
I love bacon.
And I love sticking things in the microwave.
My new friend: the WowBacon Microwave Bacon Cooker.
And the instructions are an amazing read on their own.
Proof that bacon is so awesome that even lettuce will eat it.
This is Wendy’s “Baconator” being attacked by lettuce.
One of many clever corporately-developed-yet-indie-looking web advertisement videos.

Everybody loves bacon (the meat of the Gods).
And now we can bathe with bacony goodness.
This should be viewed as more of a jackass experiment than a “how to” by a soapmaking expert. I just wanted to see if it was possible to make soap from bacon fat.
The bonus challenge: make the soap look like bacon.
How I Made Bacon Fat Soap:
Supplies
• Bacon fat
• 100% Lye (sodium hydroxide)
• Purified water and ice
• Liquid Smoke (optional fragrance)
• Red food coloring (optional coloring)
• Stove
• Pyrex baking pan
• Chemical/solvent/heat resistant plastic bowl
• Measuring cup
• Cotton cloth or paper towels
• Wooden (or stainless steel) spoon
• Rubber gloves and goggles
• Metal can
• 1 cigarette

Thanks to UltraMagnus for the heads up on this great bacon find: the Wake-N-Bacon Alarm clock!
Almost certainly the greatest feat of bacon engineering to date, the Wake-N-Bacon is “an alarm clock that wakes you up with the smell and sizzle of cooking bacon” because “no one likes to wake up, especially to an alarm.” Check out how it works here:
Though the Wake-N-Bacon appears to not currently be for sale to the public, you can most likely email Matty of Mathlete.com for a quote.
Also, become a fan of Bacon on Facebook! And to all Facebookers, check out our “weekly” featured bacon product, and send us a note if you find anything we haven’t yet covered!
Wendy’s has created the answer to the question:
“How much meaty awesomeness can fit into a single burger?!?”
Behold the burger of the Carnivore Gods: The Baconator.
It’s like a farm in between two buns: two 1/4 lb. burgers with six strips of hickory smoked bacon.
This is the Banana Oreos of the burger world.
Mmmmm.
Bacon.
The Dapperstache Periodic Table of Awesoments - the elements of awesome in this universe.
Bacon, with an awesome weight of 1, is the most fundamental element of awesome in the universe. Ninja is 2 and Batman is 3.

Both the Photo of the Week and the Bacon Product of the Week:
I followed this guy for 15 minutes to get a good snapshot of his vanity plate.
Dude, we love that you love bacon.
Unless you’re actually just a fan of Francis Bacon, which is still cool.
Jason from GorillaSushi:
“He might have wanted to memorialize the time he saw Kevin Bacon in Las Vegas.”
Heywood:
“Or maybe the guy is from the small Eastern European town of Bacon, Latvia?”

Palo Alto, CA.
Pampas - a new Brazilian churrasco restaurant.
Dessert menu item: “chocolate torte served with caramel ice cream, crème fraiche sauce, bacon Brazil nut toffee, smoked sea salt.”
Consulting Executive Pastry Chef: Marisa Churchill
The toffee is a nice blend - far better than other bacon chocolate combinations I’ve tried in the past - a good balance of texture (Brazil nuts and bacon) with pleasant sweetness (chocolate and toffee) and the finish of salty and smokey umami (bacon).
Overall Bacony Goodness Score: ***** 5/5
MMM….French fry coated bacon on a stick!
