Back to Basics

baconvodka

We’ve gone off track here at the RiffTrax blog. What was meant to be a repository for up-to-the-minute information on bacon has been distressingly bacon-free as of late. I blame myself*. I bring a peace offering: Bacon Flavored Vodka.

The quasar created by CERN should just now be gnawing its way through the core of the earth, giving us two weeks to live. I have already hugged my children and told my wife I love her (a couple weeks ago, I think) so I intend to spend my remaining hours on earth drinking bacon flavored vodka and clicking around on Pruane2forever.com.

*By “myself” I mean of course, “Kevin”.

**UPDATE**

Some have questioned my claim** that CERN’s quasar is a vastly more exciting version of Galactus, but what those people*** fail to take into account is that I was born in Batavia, Illinois and spent and few years near Fermilab SO I THINK I KNOW A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT EARTH DEVOURING QUASARS THAN YOU DO, OKAY MR. AND MRS. BETTY LOU EXPERT??!!****

**”some” meaning “a vast corp of leading scientists”

***”people” meaning, again, “Kevin”

****”Mr. and Mrs. Betty Lou Expert” meaning “Gary Cole”.

    I love bacon, but I must admit to loving lemon more. I think I’ll go out on limoncello…

    If anyone is interested in the closest thing I’ve had to approximating a Bacon Beer, I recommend “The J” from the Hollister Brewing company:

    Dark and a smokey flavor, with no fat filtering necessary!

    What’s with this guy’s eyes? And is that Beef Jerkey sticking out of the glass?

    And I think my particles are accelerating right now… no wait, it’s gas.

    Answers-
    1) the eyes are a result from living in Massachusetts. I know. I lived there too. I can see REALLY WELL at night.
    2) Slim Jim. Yup.

    I am in awe at the wonderful simplicity of the bottle’s graphics. Appalacian fire-water should be so frilly.

    If this fellow’s composed, content expression is the result of consuming this product, well- send me 10 gallons.

    just kidding- he looks like a result of mingling the DNA from Charles Manson, Jello Biafra, and Conway Twitty.

    I do like the Slim Jim; usually I take my bacon vodka Bloody Mary with a sprinkling of hot, scrambled egg, and a dusting of shredded cheddar cheese.

    I think every drink should have a Slim Jim garnish. Yes, I’m talking to you, the Malibu and pineapple I plan on having in about there hours.

    And here’s the perfect way to top off your bacon vodka-based cocktail - dip the rim of the glass in Bacon Salt.

    If you guys are going back to basics, are you going back to the state quarter contest you were doing a while back?

    I was just about to mention this, but you beat me to it! I mean, if we’re gonna all be dead in two weeks, it would be nice to have that little loose end tied up. :-P

    You make a good point. Let’s dust that thing off.

    All those posts from suzanne, and now Conor says let’s get back to it? Somehow, it seems cruel…

    Leave it to the British to get us all killed.
    Well as we Irish say, Drink Up! and what better way but with the great taste of bacon to ease your transition into the afterlife.

    I thought that was supposed to read, “As we Irish say, ‘(unintelligible slurring)’!” Right?

    Well sure if I was sober I could wite like that

    Sounds perfect for Jethro Bodine as a “Double Naught” agent: “Bacon vodka martini…shaken, not stirred.” Cue the toothless, shoeless Bond girl…oh wait, Denise Richards was already in a Bond movie…
