Bacon Placemats

Instructlobians like bacon. Bacon Soap, Bacon Image Tiles, Bacon and some other stuff sandwiches etc.

The next logical step is, naturally, bacon textiles. So get ready for an all body lube job. After all, cholesterol is fat, and fat is slippery. Lets lube those (heart) valves :)

Step 1 Ingredients and Tools

-"any bacon will do, even blasphemous turkey bacon"

If turkey bacon is blasphemy, is a turducken the antichrist of bacon?

~adamvan2000

[jonzo97]

Not if it is a bacon wrapped turducken.

[drahcus]

If you need something even worse for your health try putting some brown sugar on top of the bacon before you bake it. :) The sugar melts and carmelizes the bacon

[Screamo]

YUMM~!~!~!~!~!

[mackc]

Bacon is more of a seasoning, like Gravy and Hard liqour.

[RaNDoMLeiGH]

hard liquor is a seasoning? Oh, I've been doing it all wrong. I thought hard liquor was the main course.

[Subvert]

All of the above can actually be the main course.

[red-king]

especially bacon... and hard liquor too i guess...

GENIUS!!!!!!

[James (pseudo-geek)]

now why are you people so paranoid? one sheet of bacon isn't going to kill you, eating 2 sheets a day for 15 years probably would, but COME ON! ......yes, I know what I'm talking about, my mom is going to college for natural health. oh, and theres JUST AS MUCH cholesterol in that pork chop you ate the other day, as about 10 sheets of bacon. fat is fat, whether its melted into oil or not.

[red-king]

you are correct. however, bacon has a bit of a notorious reputation for being fatty, and thus being bad for you. it's quite common for people to think things like this.

[schnerby]

For some odd reason I have never seen bacon that looks like this outside the deli when you specifically order 'streaky bacon'. Perhaps this is my mark as a foriegner...

[neckfire]

Depending where you are from bacon has different definitions. American bacon comes from the under belly of the pig. If you want some "streaky bacon" go to a decent butcher and ask for American bacon- ask him to cut it thick from the slab. Then make some bacon bowls! (or mats, helmets, baskets, et al...) Happy baconing

[red-king]

bacon shirt!

I'm not happy. I just made one of these to use as a mouse-mat. I hoped that it would be low friction, and thus save my wrist from RSI. It was a disaster. First, as the mat isn't that smooth, so the ball doesn't always rotate. Next, the rollers inside the mouse got slippery, so that when the ball did turn, the rotation wasn't registered. Finally, a mouse nibbled the mat, and the oily mouse-wire overnight. "So what are you going to do?" I hear nobody ask. It's obvious - I'm off to buy an optical mouse.

[monkeeeee001]

What!?

[thunk]

What exactly is your question ? Re-reading it now several months after writing it, I realize that there is a spare "as" in sentence 3, and perhaps is was not totally clear, that the nibbling mouse was small, gray and alive. "Was" here, rather than "is", and he didn't die of choked arteries caused by eating my mouse-mat. If you have anymore questions, please be more specific. Thunk

[RaNDoMLeiGH]

are you suggesting a bacon mouse pad?

[thunk]

When I wrote "It was a disaster", I was trying to communicate to potential readers, that a bacon mouse mat is not the best solution, at least not with a ball mouse. I also implied that a bacon mouse map could work better with an optical mouse. However, due to the infestation with real mice, I never got round to testing the theory. If you have an optical mouse, no problem with live mice, and some spare bacon, you could test the hypothosis and inform the rest of us here as to how well the combination bacon - optical mouse works, and perhaps a few words to the life-expectancy of the solution. Best regards.

[red-king]

it would be good for those long computer sessions when you get hungry...

[Sylkhr]

Can you say heart attack and bacon placemat in one word?

[red-king]

no. but i can have both at the same time!

[Father Christmas]

hbeacaorntpaltatcaecmkat. alternate letter between the two words. whoo "heart attack" and "bacon placemat" are now one word.

[DuctTapeRules!]

Bacon placeheart and mat attack!

To make the bacon less greasy, you could also use a broiling pan. It is a slotted top resting on a deep pan. This way, it would allow the grease to drip down, instead of staying on the bacon. Thus, less greasy
