Bourbon. Bacon. Jam. Enough Said.

The evil geniuses at 'evil shenanigans' have posted an awesome recipe for Bacon Bourbon Jam on their site, complete with step by mouthwatering step pictures. This is pure, uncut, bacon crack. Use in moderation to avoid possible addiction.

Bacon, but better. Everything is better with alcohol.

Effective Disguises On A Budget.

The 'NeatoShop' is always the go-to place for cool/odd/geeky gifts, but this one caught my eye. For those who are follicle challenged, are looking for a quick disguise, or as the description says; "be hip without the commitment of a tattoo", I give you the "Fingerstache". Put one of these temporary tattoos on your finger, hold it up to your lip, and voila! You are now hip, wise, and have the persona of your favorite spy. Enjoy!

I think these are standard issue at the CIA.

The Most Kick-Ass Car In The History Of The World. Period.

Behold the Pagani Huayra, quite possibly the car that has been in the dreams of every car-loving kid since they were old enough to dream. What you need to know: it's Italian, it's top speed is 230 mph, it will be available in the US later this year, and at $1.4 million (?!) you probably aren't in the market for one. But, at least you can check out the AutoBlog site which has a ton of awesome, hi-def pics to oogle and/or drool at. Enjoy!

A super-car if Superman was in the market for a car.

What To Do When You're In South America And Can't Find Bacon.

I've seen these giant ants (2 cm big) before, but never with a description of "tastes like bacon". I'm guessing that's just a marketing ploy. Oh, and they're full of vitamins! Hmmmm, another marketing ploy. And if that isn't enough, just in time for Valentine's Day, they are considered (in some cultures) as an aphrodisiac. There, the triple crown of marketing ploys. Score! Thanks to the Consumerist blog.

Bacon-flavored ants; what's not to like?!

Another Stupid/Brilliant Idea Poised To Take Over The World.

From the "why didn't I think of it" file, leave it to the Japanese to come up with something else so stupid and inane that everyone would want one: light-up smiles. The NY Times reports that these LED smiles are taking the shores of Nippon by storm and consist of - basically - a sports mouthpiece with embedded LEDs that light up. No excuse for getting hit by a car at night now. Check out the accompanying video in the article.

What did you eat to turn your teeth that color?

Burger King's Stuffed Burger Has Arrived. Rejoice(?)!

In what is promising to be the first of many new, exciting burgers, Burger King has come out with the first gut-bomb of the new year: The Stuffed Burger. Using the slogan "In it, not on it", BK stuffs jalapenos and cheddar cheese inside its Steakhouse burger and tops it with a creamy poblano sauce. Nutrition information - if you are ready - 590 calories, 34 grams of fat and 1,240 mg of sodium. Not too bad, right? Enjoy!

Have it your way...stuffed!

"If it's not Scottish, it's Crap!"

Flavored potato chips are nothing new, but a Scottish company has decided to add a definitely local taste to its chips. Mackie's Scottish Potato Chips (or 'crisps' as they are known on the island) have added the taste of haggis, a traditional dish consisting of sheep offal, to their chips. In a less than stellar review, the taste is described as; "surprisingly more delicious than it sounds." Another featured flavor that got my attention, and may be more worthy of a try, Flame-grilled Aberdeen Angus. Enjoy!

Not you average chips.
