Apr 12 2010Bac-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.

I would have pinned the raw bacon on....
Then just used a blow torch or something to cook it all speedily. (would have used a wire mesh body instead of foam).
It'd be easier and quicker than cooking it all in your kitchen, and then pinning it on...
Doesn't stop the epicness though.
<3 Bacon <3

Anyone else notice that little piece of bacon hanging down in the crotch area?
7. naas - April 12, 2010 11:16 AM
anyone can cover something with bacon, big deal. If it were made out of bacon & could walk up stairs, then It'd be impressive. He just ruined a model at-at & wasted some tasty bacon

Just because you can do something... doesn't mean it's worthwhile. blech. You know, I'd been more impressed if it been a Pig tatooed with an AT-AT or set of Stormtrooper armor. Strike that. Some dummy might think THAT was a good idea.... Frigging hell, I suppose once they're done they'll feed it to the slophouse. O.o Cannibals!

This would be way cooler if it were solid bacon. Oh and I had the Double Down at KFC today for lunch, pretty good believe it or not.

Stupid bacon wasters must die of tofu poisoning.

What a waste. How many animals were slaughtered for that, and it wasn't even eaten. This guy is an idiot.

It must be bigger *oh snap, that's what she said!* Seriously though, it's nowhere near big enough.
