Heaven Rolled on a Grill: The Bacon Explosion

January 30, 2009 in Recipes

I love bacon. We’ve told you about bacon flavored dental floss, bacon iPhone case, bacon flavored mayonnaise, bacon flavored mints, a Bacon Bra and even a bacon tuxedo. So it is well established we here at TailgatingIdeas.com like us some bacon. Nothing, and I mean nothing, prepared me for when I saw The Bacon Explosion!

Upon finding this beauty thanks to Jimmy Traina over at Sports Illustrated Hot Clicks, my heart skipped a beat. I am not sure if it was due to falling in love upon laying eyes on this little treasure or if it was my arteries slamming shut just by reading about it. All I can say if you are bad ass enough to try this out, here is what you will need.

2 pounds thick cut bacon
2 pounds Italian sausage
1 jar of your favorite barbeque sauce
1 jar of your favorite barbeque rub

That’s it. Now for the detailed instruction on how to create and properly prepare the Bacon Explosion you’ll need to head over to The BBQ Addicts. I was so impressed I immediately added them to my RSS reader and I am following them on Twitter after discovering this little gem. (Feel free to stalk me via Twitter as well.)

I am really interested to see if anyone else gives this a try and how it turns out. If anyone can pull it off and prepare a Bacon Explosion while tailgating, send me a few photos and I will feature you here on TailgatingIdeas.com. If I were a betting man, my money is on the guys from Freedom Grill to be the first ones to try this out.

January 29, 2009 in Mailbag

Because we are on the verge of the Super Bowl and because this picture is so damn awesome, we are deviating from the norm for the Mid-Week Eye Candy Wrapper. Normally we would have some hot girl, cheerleader preferably, as the lead into the rest of the week’s links. But this week we give you the The Greatest Snack Food Stadium Ever Built from Holy Taco. Seeing this makes my pants just as tight as looking at Lucy Pinder in lingerie. Links to follow…

Super Bowl Watch Party Essential: The Stadium Pal

January 27, 2009 in Tailgating Gear, Tailgating Ideas

If you are like most Americans, you’ll be spending a good portion of this coming Sunday eating, drinking and watching the Super Bowl. Watching the Super Bowl at home or at a party presents a unique dilemma. When to make a bathroom break? There is a product out there that solves the following problems.

1) You normally are consuming more beer than you would watching a normal game, therefore more trips to the bathroom.

2) Most of us use commercial breaks to hit the bathroom but with the Super Bowl, the commercials are usually just as entertaining as the game.

3) If at a Super Bowl party, there are normally more guests than there are bathrooms which translates into waiting in line.

So what’s a guy to do? Get yourself a Stadium Pal, a.k.a. a Stadium Buddy, and never miss a snap or gratuitous Candice Michelle GoDaddy.com commercial. Simply put, the Stadium Pal is a portable and self-contained restroom/urinal system that allows you to relieve yourself without leaving your spot on the couch. It might seem gross but it sure beats missing the game or wearing Depends.

The Stadium Pal consists of three simple components: The Male External Catheter worn like a condom, a flexible hose with connector, latex free straps and a collection bag (holds 1000 ml) complete with drain valve. The leg bag system can be worn on the inner calf and is completely hidden beneath loose fitting jeans or pants. (Don’t wear shorts and expect not to be found out, jackass.) When the bag gets full, it will probably be halftime and you’ll have plenty of time to wait in line to empty it. With the Super Bowl halftime show toned down after Janet Jackson’s wardrobe malfunction you really aren’t missing much.

Check out David Sedaris on David Letterman talking about the Stadium Pal. Funny and informative.

You can get your own Stadium Pal from BioRelief.com for under 30 bucks. And don’t worry ladies, the also make The Stadium Gal for you too.
