How To Make Bacon-Infused Bourbon

Chow.com says Mojitos Out, Bacon-Infused Bourbon In.

This quick and concise video is from the NYC East Village bar Please Don’t Tell (PDT). The bartender makes creating Bacon-Infused Bourbon and the Bacon Old Fashioned look like child's play. I'm not a big fan of bourbon but with bacon and maple syrup, I'm down for a glass or two.

Natalia Brilli's Leather Skulls

I had never heard of Natalia Brilli, the award-winning Belgian-born accessories designer before today but now I want to know more! She does a superb job of wrapping things in leather. I'm trying to piece together more about her work since her website doesn't really say too much.

Here's my absolute favorite. I would kill for one of these bags but I can't even tell you how much they might cost, if they are even available to purchase.

Three skeletons, a drum set, guitar, amp and mic have all been expertly clad in black leather (requiring 500 hours of work to cover just one skeleton and 70 skins to cover the whole installation). It is currently on tour in the top fashion houses of the world. Apparently, every piece of the band is available for sale in limited editions.

Amazing work.

Skull Phone

I haven't had the need for a corded phone in a long time but I'm pretty sure I'm gonna need to break down and kick it old skool for this skull telephone. It's eyes flash when the phone rings and I'm hoping there's some hardware on the back so I can hang it on my kitchen wall. Seriously, I'm getting this.




An affordable $25 and only $3 to ship the skull phone from China.

P.S. If you'd prefer a stylish Bananaphone, Ernie and Bert can show you how it's done.

Support Bacon

My brother gave me this most amazing "Support Bacon" ribbon magnet yesterday:

My dilemma is...I'm afraid someone will steal it if I put it on my car. Everyone wants the bacon. I'd like to proclaim my love of bacon via my vehicle but I think it may end up being a fridge magnet or else it would probably be just a fond memory of the cool magnet I used to have.

He got it at Spencer's Giftsbut their website doesn't seem to have it. If I can find a place to buy it online I'll post a link but until then you may need to take a trip to the mall to sport one of these beauties on your car.

Do you have any idea what the street value of this pig is?

I find this news story from last week absoultely hilarious.

SYRACUSE, N.Y. (AP) -- It was a simpler sort of drug trade.

Syracuse police say a 45-year-old man offered a slaughtered pig as partial payment for a bag of crack cocaine.

They say two men were spotted making the deal on a street corner just before 8 p.m. Thursday.

Angelo Colon of Fulton was arrested on a misdemeanor drug possession charge and 42-year-old Omar Veliz faces a felony drug sale charge.

Police say Colon paid half a pig and $10 for a $50 bag of crack. Veliz told police the pig was for a celebration for a relative being released from jail.

While officers were arresting the suspects, someone took the pig.

Someone took the pig? Awesome.

Bacon > Crack
