Bacon Lamp

Mark Wilson — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 11:20:00 EST

I doubt that words can do justice to the unbridled fulfillment a man receives when standing next to a bacon lamp birthed from his own brilliance.

Flickr user kmkelley617's bacon lamp is real and it's (mostly) edible. The shade is made out of 99% handwoven bacon which was then baked as a mold in the oven, probably so kmkelley617 wouldn't find himself violently ill should he get mouthy in the middle of a spontaneous-yet-inevitable man-on-lamp lovemaking session.

The only room we see for improvement is to replace that lightbulb with something of a higher wattage so the lamp becomes a dual bacon idol/bacon cooker, rather than solely the former. [flickr via Oddity Central via The Presurfer via technabob]

Say You Love Her with Heart-Shaped Pork Dumplings

Screw chocolates. If you must be tacky and celebrate Valentine's, "tell her about your love with a heart-shaped pork dumpling instead of chocolate. Satisfaction guaranteed." At least, that's what my friend Kumiko says. [Thanks Kumiko]

Bacon iPhone Case Is Most Savory Gadget Protector Yet

Dan Nosowitz — Sat, 15 Nov 2008 17:00:00 EST

If you're a discerning eater, you know the age-old mantra: everything's better with bacon. Out in Germany, they've really taken it to heart, and have made fabric gadget cases that look like they're constructed out of every gentile's favorite pork product. The Bacon Case seems to come in different sizes, at least one of which can fit the iPhone, and is selling for 25 Euro. The description's all in German, and I don't know what or who a "Frühstücksspeck" is, but the case is "Absolute Trendtasche!!!" and who am I to argue with that? More pictures after the jump.

Giant BBQ Grill Trailer: Electronics and Pork Make a Great Combination

Mark Wilson — Thu, 23 Oct 2008 11:45:00 EDT

Some men build skyscrapers. Some men build pyramids. And some men, really, really great men, build gigantic BBQ trailers. The winner of Crutchfield's "You Dream It We'll Help You Build It" contest, Michael Seville took his late father's 10-foot long galvanized propane tank and mounted it as the chief component of this 17-foot mobile BBQ. Then he stuffed the rest of the platform with electronics.

So while he's roasting a pig...or two...or three...Seville can listen to an unspecified but bold looking wattage-worth of Polk Audio speakers and Alpine amplifiers. He can watch his Samsung TV complete with Valor DVD receiver. And then, when he's all done partaking in the digital deliciousness, he can sink his teeth into some succulent smoked ribs, or maybe just a simple brat and beer.

Damn we need to get to an Octoberfest already. And fast. [Crutchfield via Bornrich]

Brando's Chicken, Pork, Pizza and Watermelon USB Drives Are Phenomenally Delicious

Jason Chen — Thu, 24 Jul 2008 16:40:00 EDT

It's been a while since Solid Alliance charmed us with their food-shaped USB drives, but Brando's shot back with edible-looking disks of their own. At our count, there's chicken, hot wings, a slab of pork, a pizza slice, a burger, a watermelon slice, a strawberry, cookies and biscuits—all lifelike enough that your kid would accidentally put it in his mouth. Best of all, these hold 4GB worth of junk and cost only $28. Has anyone made a bacon USB drive yet? Huge gallery after the jump.
