Tailgating Ideas

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.

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…

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.

Back in July of 2007 we told you about Hans Steiniger and his unusual journey that takes the idea of the professional football fanatic to a whole new level. He’s challenged himself to attend a game in each stadium in the National Football League. He’s doing it as a home team fan in an effort to find out exactly what it’s like to follow each NFL franchise. As the Super Bowl this weekend bring to a close another NFL season, we caught up with Hans Steiniger as he winds down from another season on the road in pursuit of the Quest for 31.

Tailgating Ideas: So, how did your love of football start? Where did it all begin?

Hans Steiniger: For as long as I can remember I’ve been a fan of the National Football League. I’ve spend many a Sunday afternoon parked in my leather recliner at home or out at Ralph Wilson Stadium near Buffalo, New York watching the bone-jarring hits, explosive aerial attacks and bruising ground game that makes professional football the best sport in the world.

We as tailgaters know that no matter if your team is winning or losing, tailgating is something that always brings us back year after year. The NFL as a whole has a rabidly loyal fan base and the Cleveland Browns fans could be some of the most dedicated and die-hard you will find. With a fan base that committed you know they are just as committed to tailgating as they are to their team. Now comes The Browns Fan’s Tailgating Guide written by Peter Chakerian. Now you have no excuse rolling into the Muni Lot on Sundays and not knowing what to expect.

I had a chance to read The Browns Fan’s Tailgating Guide by Peter Chakerian. Although I am personally not a Browns fan, reading this book convinced me becoming a Browns fan would appeal to me just based on the tailgating alone. Despite not being a fan of the Cleveland Browns I enjoyed the book and the historical perspectives on how unique the Browns tailgating experience really is. I have wanted to visit the Muni Lot based on the tailgating tales I have heard and read. Reading this book cemented my commitment to one day party with those that call the Muni Lot home on Sundays. At times I felt as if I had been handed the “behind enemy lines” secrets to tailgating that only Browns fans that have lived it know and understand. There is a different culture when it comes to Cleveland tailgating. Consider this book your reference guide to make sure you tailgate the right way.

The portions of the book I found most interesting and informational was the breakdown of all the different tailgating lots in close proximity to the Browns’ stadium. The Muni Lot is definitely not for the faint of heart or for the weak stomached. Reading this book gives great insider knowledge on more “age appropriate” locations to tailgate if you have kids joining you or if you are not up to seeing someone do an inverted beer bong off the back of a school bus painted to look like a dog. The history of the evolution of Cleveland Browns tailgating was great information for a histroical perspective as well.

Cleveland Browns’ fans have long been a suffering bunch from losing seasons, bust first round draft picks to the team being uprooted from under their noses and moving to Baltimore. Despite all of that, Browns fans are the most resilient and tailgating is interwoven into their very fabric of being. No matter if you are a veteran tailgater or a novice just starting out, by reading this book everyone can gain some insight on how to not just tailgate but tailgate better. To read an exerpt of the book, click HERE.

You can get your own copy of The Browns Fan’s Tailgating Guide at Amazon.com for $9.95.

So are you ready for this week? By this week I mean the avalanche of Super Bowl hype that the media can possibly cram down our throats. I get it. Larry Fitzgerald is a freak and a great player and a nice guy all in one. Kurt Warner loves Jesus and is playing in another Super Bowl but with a different team. Pittsburgh could become the first NFL franchise to win six Super Bowls. Can we now focus on what is not being talked about? The NFL is still banning tailgating at the Super Bowl. Even though it has been a year since we put together our petition, the principles of the deal still hold true. Or you can just sit by and allow more and more of your personal freedoms be taken away in the name of “national security”. Whatever. On with the links…
