For Lack Of Anything Intersting Happening

Seems like a lot of us are on "blog hiatus" recently.

Other than my ECCC convention reports, I really haven't had anything happen worth blogging about.
Stuff is coming up that'll be worth mentioning on here, but nothing just yet.

So until then, I have some random crap I found on the interwebs that I thought I'd share with ya'll.


Some 'circuitry snacks' for all you budding electrical types out there.


These look like a a lot of fun to make! I'll have to find a reason for making them soon.
(By way of the Presfurfer)

More geeky goodness.
A 'Missile Command' skirt.


Yeah. Awesome.
Too bad I couldn't get Hotness to wear one.

Intersting news from Russia.
Hairdresser turns robber into 'sex slave'.
Rawr! You go tiger!





Well, that's about it for now.
Stay tuned.....

Serves Him Right.... The Big Douche

Aw... poor Billiy Bob Thornton got booed off stage and has cancelled the rest of his Canadian tour after insulting his Canadian listeners in that radio interview earlier this week.

Serves that jackass right.

"I'm Shaking My Butt!"

I got to spend some time with my niece and nephew on Friday before their dad and I took off to go watch a movie that evening.

She keeps getting sillier every time I see her and this last visit was no exception.
Here she is showing off her new 'skillz':

When asked where she learned this move, she replied; "I learned it from my momma".

He Was A Baaaah-d Man

"Magic goat" arrested for armed robbery.

He was 'caught' by vigilantes after trying to steal a Mazda 323.

Okay... you know what? I'm going to bed now.

This concludes the amount of weird crap I can handle in one day.

Salty, Smoky Goodness

The world's most perfect food just became even more perfect.


Researchers in England have discovered that bacon actually helps to cure hangovers better than other so-called remedies.


It's been a handed down remedy for years, but people assumed that food was 'soaking up' the alcohol which wasn't the case.
And having worked as a dishwasher for a while, I can attest to the enormous amounts of 'breakfast food' (pancakes, eggs, toast, and even bacon) that would get ordered shortly after the bars closed. Ironically enough... I never saw any leftover bacon on the plates I had to clean.


So in looking around the internet for other bacon-related information to go along with this tidbit of news, I discovered that Daniel Craig (the most recent James Bond) had a huge hankering for "Bacon Butties" while on the set during the filming of the last 007 movie.

Sounds like just the thing to have the morning after drinking all those "Vesper martinis", eh?




I did a search for a recipe and found various versions, including a scientifically proven formula for the "perfect" recipe.
They all sounded good, but there were a few constants amongst them all:
The bread must have a crispy crust
The bacon must also be crispy, so thin-sliced bacon is better than the thick-sliced variety
Sauce is optional, but ketchup seems to be one of the most commonly used



I'm thinking of trying one of these (in the interest of science, of course!) and see what all the fuss is about. It's very popular across the pond apparently.

If any of you have had one before (or try it our after reading this), please let me know what you thought of it in the comments.

How come this kind of thing never happens at any of the cons?
