Exploding bacon sausage??!!!

OK, I know that Team 1902 has taken their "Exploding Bacon" theme all over the country. So it seems logical that, after enough time and enough exposure, the effects of "Oink! Oink! Boom!" would eventually have to work their way deep into the American culture. But I never expected that they would have this much of an affect this soon. A whole new Exploding Bacon-style cuisine has been started!

See here! (WARNING: your cholesterol levels will go up by a minimum of 40 points just for looking at the linked page) (best comment so far: "Is it legal to marry food?")

And, yes, as soon as we can chip the ice off the barbeque grill on the deck, I am definitely going to try this!

Re: Exploding bacon sausage??!!!

You know I saw this picture earlier and sent it to another robotics person, saying "Exploding Bacon!" and "oink, oink, boom!" I don't feel as crazy making this connection now that I see other people have done it. Or wait... should I really be judging myself non-crazy by comparing myself to Dave?

Dave, I thought it was the job of Congress to approve such pork projects.

Re: Exploding bacon sausage??!!!

I was going to comment, "be still my heart" upon seeing this monstrosity, but then on second thought I figured that seeing this in person (just seeing it) might literally cause my heart to be still. So, I guess I decided it wasn't worth it.

Where do people come up with these ideas?!?!?

EDIT: I just thought of something. Is the "Burnt Finger" Barbecue sauce in the background named for the aftermath of what happens when you stumble too close to an actual piece of bacon that happens to explode?

I can't speak as to the inspiration for the BBQ sauce name...but it is ugly when your finger get's too close to a batch of Sizzling Swine

NJ and Philly =/= Florida

If you guys go to Atlanta, and we're sharing a hotel or a division, I expect a giant loaf of bacon. Lol.

That is a thing of beauty. I may have to try my hand at it. The woven bacon strips rock.
