Oct 5 2009Delicious Light: DIY Bacon Strip Lampshade

bacon-lamp.jpg

Bacon
, perhaps the most versatile tool on the planet (suck it, duct tape!), can be fashioned into just about anything. Including, but not limited to: guns and lube. And what more does a person really need (besides the love of a good woman and maybe a pet)?!

Anyway, Flickr user Kris Kelley went and made a lampshade out of bacon slices and posted a little picture tutorial. And one thing's for certain: I bet it smells divine when it heats up! Plus, 10 to 1 odds your dog eats the whole lamp first you leave the house. Ever seen a dog pass an electric cord? It's something you don't forget.

Thanks to jessica, who gamma radiated a pig in the hopes of creating naturally glowing bacon. Unfortunately, it just turns green and beats the shit out of things when it gets mad.

I am not a fire marshal, but that looks like a fire hazard.
I looks like an electrical and grease fire all rolled up into one delicious home owners insurance claim.


Must See!!!

The bacon meme needs to stop. It's gotten old and it's not funny anymore. We need to find a new food item to be obsessed with. I say string-cheese. You can make a lot of cool stuff out of string cheese.

@8
Good point. I want to see a good mountaineering rope made from string cheese.

@9 yeah and when the mountain goats take a nice chomp out of that thing when your 20 feet from the peak, I'll be the one who is in my nice warm home watching you on the 5 O'clock news. "Man fell 368 to his death today from a string cheese rope accident" lol and i will ROFLcopter all over...all over your face!

STRING CHEESE ... that is the gayest thing i have ever heard

america didnt become the greatest country in the universe by eating rotten milk ... we became the awesomest by eating meat and blowing $hit up

you know who eats cheese ... the french
you know who eats bacon ... the united states of awesomness

@11 yeah...sadly i agree i mean being 100 1/2% AMERICAN myself i cant think of any better way to spend my evening than to blow up a durka dee or two while eating a good Ol fashioned slim jim....and by blow up a durka i mean call of duty 4 because i am too much a puss-bot to join the military

What do you mean "lampshade"??? Have I been cooking it wrong all these years?!!!


Just kidding...there's no need to ever cook the stuff. I just hang several strips on the inside of my underwear to keep it kinda warm, then pull a strip out when i get a little hungry, roll it up into a ball, and gnaw on it for a while till all the flavor has been chewed and sucked out.

you know i dont think that anyone actually noticed this. take a good look at this guy in the picture he looks like a child molester, go ahead I'll wait.......................................................told you. "trick or treat!, Bacon? what is this $hit" "Come in little children" i want you to eat my lamp shade".

@14 ... come to think of it i remember this guy giving me some funny tasting candy one time ... i woke up 3 days later in an alley in albuquerque with a really sore anus ... i never really thought anything of it before

see what i mean..

Killing pigs to make lampshades? Smells like a porcine holocaust.

I witnessed my dog passing a pair of nylons once. I actually had to go out in the yard wearing a rubber glove and help him out by pulling. Oh, it was a fun day.

@17

Was that a missing line from Sabbath's War Pigs?

It's awesome!

what is up with all this bacon stuff? it's not interesting at all, and at first it was a tiny bit funny but now its just annoying! And dinosaurs suck too!

@19
Have you heard Cake's (Cake the Band) cover of Black Sabbath's 'War Pigs'?
Its pretty cool.

@20 YOU SUCK!!!

@21

I had not heard it before. I'll check it out when I get home. I'll also HAVE to check out their Mahna, Mahna cover of the Muppets!!! Think that originally appeared on Sesame St, but always kinda pictured Animal doing a version with The Electric Mayhem. Guess I'll settle for a Cake cover of it. ; )

Also interested in hearing how they covered Barry White and Frank tunes.

Should be fun...good look bud. Thx.

@23
You're welcome.
The Barry White & Frank Sinatra jams they do are my favorite.

DJ Z-Trip has some good stuff too (and a lot of it is free on his site too)

I like spreading the word of good music.

@24 your a dic*k up the Ass-tard...jk i think that your lifestyle choices are perfectly normal and despite what the bible says, i dont think your kind will burn in hell

@24

Thanks again. Haven't heard of DJ Z-Trip before. I'll give it a listen. I'm not too big into the whole mashup craze, but some are pretty damn good (and others are pretty damn funny).
