Bac-AT: Stomping Rebels With Deliciousness

Well folks, the guys over at This Is Freaking Ridiculous have done it again. As you longer-term readers may recall, last year they created the BA-K-47 to celebrate Bacon Day (uh, isn't that every day?), and this year, a Bacon AT-AT. STOMP ME IN THE MOUTH!

I needed a follow up to last year's BA-K-47 for our 2nd annual Bacon Day. The Bacon AT-AT was actually what I wanted to build before, but didn't have enough time, so it seemed like the natural choice. The Bacon AT-AT stands 3 ft tall and is made with over 40 lbs of bacon. The body was made from foam, then the bacon was attached. This beast took 21 non-stop hours to build. If you've ever once thought to cook 40 lbs of bacon in your kitchen in one sitting, I can now personally advise against it.

WOW -- 40 lbs of bacon?! That's *sniff* just so beautiful. And as a man who hasn't had anything for breakfast except the beer he fell asleep with, I've got to admit: I can't believe I didn't spill. Wait, yes I can. Sippy cup, baby.

Hit the jump for four more reasons to at least consider the Dark Side.

Bacon AT-AT [tifr]

Thanks to Nick, the man behind the bacon, for singlehandedly recruiting over 100,000 new Stormtroopers with the Bac-AT alone. Shit, I'd join for a piece of that.

    Hang up your thinking caps, inventors, because you'll never top bacon pancakes and they were invented decades ago. Possibly by Aunt Jemima herself, who may or may not be related to George Washington Carver. Get it? Because they were both black ahead of their time. F*** I lov... / Continue →

    This is a replica of the helmet worn by Dovahkiin in Skyrim except made out of popcorn bacon. Because that's what people do: make things out of bacon, then post pictures of them online. You know what the problem with a bacon helmet is though? Dragons LOOOOOOVE bacon. It's g... / Continue →

    Bacon that cooks in a toaster: genius. Bacon that cooks in a trashcan: gross. But all in all still a pretty good idea. Reddi-Bacon (1964) was precooked and there was very little extra fat involved when the foil packets were heated. However, there was occasional slight leakin... / Continue →
