For years I have been trying to invent a self-igniting, re-usable firecracker.

I could use some help.

First, Dick De Vries welcome to ePlaya!
Second, most important, can you design a quicker shorter way to get to BRC from Denver?
Third I have an idea, for a machine that would use gas of some type to make raw bacon cooked. And maybe it could double as a pancake cooker, too. At this time its only an idea.

Sorry, ya'll didn't dig it.

IllDilly, your post was full of fun funny funness, the "retarded" comment by BoiJoy wasn't.

BTW, I have one of those gas powered pancake and bacon cookers, but we just call it a grill. :wink:

I would like bacon footie pajamas, but can't decide if the bacon should be raw or cooked. I mean, raw would definitely be easier to sew, but cooked has that yummy bacon smell. But it's crumbly...

Forgive me for being obtuse--or rather, not-obtuse...

I'm a vegetarian, and I'm trying to get the whole bacon joke thing with burning man..

Can someone explain the actual story behind the bacon-ness?
Or is it just plain and simple-that bacon's awesome?

Pretty sure it's just that bacon ROCKS!!! :D

There are apparently vegetarians who give themselves a meat pass just for bacon.

(They make soy bacon, I think. Not sure it's the same).

Victorian, about the bacon….

It’s kind’a like the PBR (Pabst Blue Ribbon beer). PBR is just another brand of beer, and bacon is just another type of food.

BUT…. Burning Man is essentially one giant comedic theatrical performance (where the actors perform for each other – no spectators), and it is great fun to pretend all sorts of silly stuff. For example, I can wear a Superman costume and “beâ€

I was serious about the footie pajamas! Been thinking of having one made, using israeli commando boots. Instead of the traditional "footie" part that just gathers playa dust. Yes, the dust finds its way through the fabric.

Have a couple years of playa dust on my truck dashboard. Can't bring myself to wiping it off.

I love footie pajamas. And bacon. But wasn't actually serious about putting them together. :D I've been looking at footie pajamas on eBay, but then decided the Porta Potty would not be easy to maneuver in them. Guys have it easier that way.

bacon is like sound: it's presence does not have to be seen to be known. If you are shy about how to attract people to your gifts, this quality is handy. As an experiment, put 5 lbs of marbles on a table, say nothing, and see how quickly they are picked up... compare to 5 lbs of bacon!

Sow it raw, put on around 10am, wear tell 2pm (should be cooked by then, if not lay on the hood of the car) then let people eat bacon of you tell 3pm. Think of the possibilitys!
I agree with Elliot and Elorrum. It is an iconic figure, but also a way of telling your neighbors to come over and hang out. If you are gonna cook bacon, cook enough for the neighbors. For an spur of the moment neighbor hood breakfast also have those add water- shake- cook pancakes ready, and find a neighbor who has bloody mary fixens. It'll be a block party before noon.

Bacon is already the ulimitate food when camping, regardless of where you are at.

All my life,I can't remember EVER going camping anywhere without bacon, so it is a natural out there.

I also drink PBR all the time now, that IS a result of BM, and I can't really explain why except that it is a better beer than the other leading domestics, when you put them all side by side, especially anything that Budweiser makes.
