I had this idea today for a giant bacon ‘n beer party come springtime. I’m not sure how it would work exactly, though. Maybe people would bring raw bacon and we’d fry it up on big sheets of hot metal in the back yard. It would be cool to see how big of a bacon cloud we could generate, and how far away people could smell it. If we fried 100 pounds of bacon, I bet we could get more distance than the poison gas cloud released by Marsh Plating a few years ago… The dogs of Ypsi would go fucking insane.

Oh jeez. Thank you Mark… I have to go somewhere private now…
Who gets all the grease?
Oh Yeah…Thick cut, smoked bacon…nothing better for the soul, or worse for the old arteries!
And you could wrap leftover groundhog meat in it.
Brackache has been assigned the task of bringing the groundhog bacon.
Fantastic idea
The great Jim Gaffigan said it best…
“To improve other food, people wrap it in bacon. Its delicious.”
Can you power a diesel car on bacon grease?
Grease Slip-n-Slide!!!!
Will there be bands? Will they be paid in bacon? Can bacon be the new currency of Ypsilanti?
I’ll only do the Bacon Grease Slip-n-Slide if I can be nude.
Don’t forget to include to include the bacon explosion

I’ve been seeing stuff about bacon everywhere. Is it the economy? Maybe hard times lowers health as a priority? When it gets worse, will we all be having pig roasts?
I think what you need here is a grease-powered grill or griddle. I guess you’d have to prime it with old bacon grease or vegetable oil, but after that each batch should provide grease with which to cook the next batch.
Not that I’d join in, it’s been 15+ years since I ate bacon.
I think Anonymatt is on to something. Perpetual motion /is/ possible, as is cold fusion – it’s just that nobody’s tried powering it with bacon before!
Mark, I think your site has just solved the world’s energy problems and rebuilt Ypsi’s economy all at the same time.
count me in.
i nominate our friends in the brewer’s guild to bring homebrew for all.
for my part, i’ll bring bacon.
Just finished off 5 pieces of crispy bacon myself… I’m in.
We should have a second, bigger grill, where we dump all the excess grease and keep it boiling continuously until the air becomes unbearable for blocks in all directions.
Hopefully, the Obama Administration will have restored one or two of our constitutional rights by then, and Brackache will have to stay true to his promise to eat tablespoons of the grease.
As an addendum to my previous post, I got sad and hungry looking at my empty plate after eating my 5 pieces of bacon, and ate 5 more pieces of bacon.
We should have a bacon eating contest at the bacon fest.
Thank you, Robert. I was hoping you’d remember.
It was 1 heaping tablespoon per unconstitutional law repealed, if memory serves. Like the Patriot Act. I aught to deduct one tablespoon per unconstitutional law signed, but that would be too easy for me, and I’m feeling generous.
My point being, the tablespoons will be more heaping if you let the grease cool down first.
Dirtgrain,
Bacon is the new cigarette. We will always seek something to free us from the tyranny of health.
I know just what I’ll wear.
That’s real nice magpie. Anyone who’d rather not get trichinellosiscan dance with me.
You sluts got no class.
I could absolutely use the grease. I’ll take all you’ve got. I don’t have a film project in mind for it, but I’m sure I can think of something. “Lard Lovers” might work as a title.
