The Bacon Explosion Effect
To my wife, her girlfriends, and my mom… it’s best for you all to skip this post and wait for the next one. Trust me.
The Bacon Explosion Effect
To my wife, her girlfriends, and my mom… it’s best for you all to skip this post and wait for the next one. Trust me.
After reviewing the recipe for the explosion, “TM” thought it should have some chopped up jalapenos added to the mixture. Being from Texas he enjoys the heat, and felt the jalapenos would “kick it up a notch.” OK, I’m in.
TM arrived to work on Monday morning carrying what appeared to be a 6 inch sub in aluminum foil. This mass of pig goes into your smoker or oven the size of a football, but comes out much smaller. Don’t be worried, there will be plenty for everyone! TM thought we should cut up the roll and have BLT sandwiches for lunch. No way, bacon and sausage are breakfast foods, cut me off a slice beeeaaatttcchhhh.
The first bite was heaven. The combination of the salty bacon and sausage with the sweetness of the BBQ sauce and the spiciness of the jalapenos formed an explosion of culinary heaven in my mouth. I proceeded to eat 3 slices for breakfast. Others who tried it in the AM were not as high on it as I was. The reviews were anywhere from disgusting to just OK. Others were waiting till later in the day to try it. At this point, other than a normal morning cincinnati traffic jam, I’m doing well.
At 1pm it was time for lunch. The office wanted Taco Bell and I jumped on board with an order of 2 crispy tacos. A small order for sure from Taco Bell, but I wasn’t real hungry, and besides that, I had big plans for my taco. Yep, on my 2 tacos I had 2 slices of bacon explosion and fire sauce! No one else dared to try this, in fact no one else is even trying the bacon explosion at all. But my creation was awesome, and there’s some bacon explosion left for the ultimate BLT for dinner!
Here is where the story takes a turn. I wish I could tell you that I fought the good fight, and the BLT’s were awesome, but I never made it. By dinner time I was sweating, shivering, had a terrible headache, and my boxer briefs were in the trash. The next 12-24 hours were rough to say the least. It would have been a good day to visit the doctor for a physical. The blood, urine, and stool sample would have been easy, I could have just handed over my underwear!
With all that being said, never again for me and the explosion. However, if your a “man’s man,” you’ve got to try this thing once! Just don’t make any big plans for the following day.
Cheers and Hail
Random Thoughts
After 72 hours with no Internet access, my brain is going in too many different directions to compose a singular post. So, I’m gonna roll with bullet point random thoughts.
- A-Rod. A couple more thoughts from his interview. Did he just lay out by the pool (pink cheeks?) until Martha Stewart was finished setting up the interview room? I think we need to put “the church lady” in front of the baby grand piano and let’s get some fresh cut flowers in here. And what’s up with the A-Rod GNC references? Is he getting an endorsement deal with them? “I’m not sure if I tested positive for the Hydroxycut I got from GNC, or the Muscle Milk I got from GNC, or maybe it was that NEEDLE FULL OF STEROIDS I JAMMED IN MY ASS?
- Orioles 2nd basemen with AIDS. What are the chances that 2 different Orioles 2nd basemen would get AIDS? Pretty good I guess. Robbie Alomar reportedly has the virus. Alan Wiggins (who played for the O’s in the 80′s) died of the disease in 1991. The rumor always was that Robbie spits and Brady swallows. Oh yeah, Mary Pierce needs to get tested.
- For Pete’s sake. Please, can we now make Pete Rose eligible for the Hall of Fame? We have 15 years of cheating players that will one day grace the Hall, let’s get Pete in there. Sure he gambled on his own team to win, but he had more hits than anyone in the history of the game! And he did it with no PEDS, only hair plugs and a parlay on the Reds and the over. He’s Charlie freakin Hustle!
- Brett Favre retires. Who cares?
- Bill Parcels has an “expanded escape clause.” This guy has never finished any job he’s ever started, and never saw a grass that wasn’t greener. So if you’ve signed him to a new contract with an opt-out where he can still collect 12 million, I’d have a Plan B in effect.
- It’s not what you know it’s who you know. Jim Zorn has filled his 2 coaching openings with people with ties to him. Chip Garber coached with Zorn at the U of Minnesota, he’s your new D-quality control coach. Scott Wachenheim coached with Zorn @ Utah State, he’s your new TE coach. I was pulling for Bill Khayat, he makes a mean mix-tape.

Donovan Mcnabb Is A Tool
the finger at everyone but himself. It’s always the Defense’s fault. Whether it
was the Superbowl loss to the Pats, the NFC Championship loss to the Rams, or
this years NFC Championship. Here’s what Mcnabb had to say about his teammates… ___________________________________________________________________
In the latest example of not-so-fearless leadership, McNabb hinted
- and not very subtly, either — that the Eagles’ defense was to blame for the
NFC championship loss in Arizona. McNabb was on WIP-AM (610) recently when he
was asked why the Birds could not score another touchdown after the Cardinals
took a 32-25 lead.”We were up, 25-24,” McNabb said. Then, in case people missed
it the first time, he repeated it for good measure.
“We were up, 25-24. [The
Cardinals] drove down 72 yards by running the ball - probably, what, eight
times? And it reminded me so much of [the NFC championship game in] St. Louis
where, coming back in that second half, they ran the ball nine times with
Marshall Faulk to keep our offense off the field. Because they were terrified of
us going back out and scoring more points.”______________________________________________________
So let’s see, falling behind 24-6 had nothing to do with the loss. Said Quarterback going 13-23, 129yds, 0 TD’s, 1 INT, and 1 fumble played no roll in the deficit. And of course, how could you not expect a Defense to hold a 1 point lead with 11 minutes to go in the game.
This guy is a leader! Philly should give him the extension he wants right now and continue to hitch their wagon to this loser. One things for sure, if the wagon is like his passes, it’s going to be a bouncy ride!
