I think we finally got it right, the show went without a hitch yesterday. We are also starting to get a few more live chatters in the talkshoe chat-room. Also during this show Sean and I had our first smooth transition into another topic, just like a real radio show. I bet after a few more shows we will start making millions. This show contains extreme language and bacon, you have been warned.

Tomorrow October 30th, 2008 the creator of BaconSalt will be celebrating the release of a new product, Baconnaise. If you can’t tell what this is already, its bacon flavored mayonnaise. So to kick off the launch of this amazing product they are having a mayonnaise wrestling extravaganza at Heaven’s Nightclub in Seattle (I wish I could be there).
At the event they will have FREE BLT’s, $3 tequila, and Mitch Morgan’s (whiskey with a bacon garnish). The main attraction of the event is a no-holds barred wrestling match between a giant slice of bacon and a giant jar of mayonnaise. For some added fun the wrestling ring will be filled with 200 gallons of mayonnaise.
Event Information:
Date: October 30th, 2008
Place: Heaven’s Nightclub in Pioneer Square in Seattle
Time: 7pm
If you are lucky enough to go bring a regular jar of mayonnaise and exchange it for a jar of Baconnaise, available in Regular or Lite. Also be sure to take video and photos so you can email them to me to post.
I am sure a lot of bacon lovers have this problem: you pack your lunch for work and put it in the communal fridge. Then when its time for lunch, you find out that someone ate your BLT. The allure of bacon is so strong that even law-abiding citizens will be tempted to steal your lunch.
Well, to stop the epidemic I found an easy solution. It’s called the Anti-Theft lunch bag, they are not for sale yet but the concept is easy to copy. All you need to do is paint some nasty green splotches on the outside of the bag. Then when your BLT is sitting in the communal fridge no one in their right mind will try to eat it. Thus saving your lunch from evil lunch thieves.
If you have any lunch saving tips or a story about how you nabbed someone stealing your lunch. Please share them via comments or email.
The following video just proves my point about fast-food bacon. No human will eat it, and it seems that only thing that will is a mutant head of lettuce.
If you know of any fast-food bacon that is good let me know. That way I can try it and if I agree, I can lift the fast-food bacon boycott.
Sean and I host bacon radio again with still a few jitters to work out. Before the show TalkShoe.com was having some issues with us calling in. Then about 30 minuets in to the show it started to cut out the audio intermittently. I should have a better way to record the show by next week. This show contains extreme language, you have been warned.
On the show we talked about:
Talkshoe; Podcamp Pittsburgh; Twitter; micro blogging; Flickr; MTV sucks; Sean is a lurker on message boards; 6-4-9, old school blog; lazybored; bacon update; Mc Donald’s; long hair; new HP notebook; Matt Gondek; Mac vs PC again; bacon pants; Apple Store; Sean sleeping, show starts to cut out…

The news magazine Bacon Today is really starting to impress me. Their bacon related stories are really starting to catch my eye. When I first saw the site a few weeks ago I thought it was just going to be another blog aggregator. This is not the case; these guys are writing and finding some really great original content.
For example Mr. B, a writer for the blog, shares with us an amazing bacon recipe, Bacon Cinnamon Rolls. It’s so simple anyone can make them.
While grocery shopping the other day I picked up a tube of ready-to-cook cinnamon rolls and thought hey, I wonder how these would taste with bacon. As I read the back of the package I was reminded that the rolls are actually un-rolled when you remove them. – Continue reading for the gripping conclusion.
I am so excited about this finding that I may have to stop at the store and pick up a pack of cinnamon rolls. If you don’t have Bacon Today added to your must read list, add it now. I can tell already that a lot of tasty news will be coming from there.
This weekend I attend Podcamp and had a great time. I meet a lot of new faces and caught up with some old ones. Just like last year I only attended sessions, but I think next year I will work up the courage to teach one. I now have plenty of experience under my belt and after listening to the comments people had, I think I have an idea of what people want to hear.
Here are my tweets from the event, with links to their corresponding picture on flickr:
10:13 AM Oc 19th: I helped pick the name for the new burgh blog and meet a guy that loves bacon! It’s a good day at podcamp so far.
8:58 AM Oct 18th: At the Activism session. Might learn something for talkobjectivism.com
8:24 AM Oct 18th: At podcamp. Had coffee and a muffin. Thanks! @afogato
After going over my tweets I noticed that my twitter activity drop on Sunday. I think this has to do with the fact I was busy trying to network with at many people as I could this day. I find it rude to tweet in the middle of a conversation.
I cannot wait till next year and we do this all over again. Oh and next year there will be BACON (the food) for breakfast. I was really disappointed that bacon was neglected this year at Podcamp.
I will be attending Podcamp this weekend, if you want to see what I’m up to check out my Twitter and Flickr feeds. I will be updating both via iPhone while I am there.
Not sure what Podcamp is here is the definition:
PodCamp Pittsburgh is a FREE community UnConference, run by and for people who create, enjoy or are interested in learning more about social media.
Just to prove it’s not a nerd fest here is a video of from the guys of my favorite craft beer podcast “Should I Drink That”.
Here is a post I did when I was at last years. The “Bacn” fiasco was started on the last day of the UnConference. I wonder what fun will come from this year at Podcamp.
Last week I told you about the idea I had for Bacon Radio, a podcast about the things this blog is about. Well we just finished recording it and things got a little out of hand. My Co-Host Sean took conversations to places I never thought possible. This show contains extreme language, you have been warned.
On the show we talked about:
Mr Baconpants cooking bacon at work; Cinnamon bacon travesty; women love bacon too; no microwave bacon; Cajun bacon; new Macbooks; Sean’s hate for Apple; iPhone; fast food bacon; Eat n’ Park; Sean’s bathroom attack; what if Steve Jobs dies; bacon cooker; beer; the Sharp Edge; beer cost and taste; beer Sean likes…
There was a lot more things we talked about, but that’s all I felt like writing. I hope by next week we figure out a format and do more show prep work. If you have suggestions or topics please share via a comment!
The fine folks at Blogadilla recently reported about minor travesty they had involving the Wendy’s Baconator. The photo above is from their website and it illustrates their complaint really well.
It was like when I found out that Santa Claus wasn’t real.
All the ingredients were there, but they didn’t look like the advertisement photos and they tasted like greasy sadness.
This is why I am still boycotting fast-food bacon, its giving good bacon a bad name. There are even people out there, like this guy, which thinks fast-food bacon is yummy. I will have to believe he has never had real bacon, because if he did, the Baconator would have been a travesty for him too.
