As I was watching SportsCenter earlier, there was talk of the upcoming golf tournament The Masters, so I thought maybe a golf picture would be good for this week’s caption contest. But I don’t have one that would be open to many captions, plus we’ve done that before. So how about a photo of a golf cart… ON FIRE!
This picture really needs an explanation. There is a stack of chairs, a fire extinguisher, and a golf cart on fire, yet no one is around. Something unusual happened here, but I don’t know what. So figure out what could’ve happened… in a funny way, of course.

Here at Buffet o’ Blog, we’ve had a number of Buffet o’ Bacon nights, where we create original bacon dishes. These have been wildly popular, and many people have desired to participate. (We have talked of having one open to the public, so hang in there.) (FYI, if you aren’t familiar with these outings, they are all documented on this blog. The search box is at the top right of the sidebar.)
Our bacon creations have been great for the most part, although there was the gut-bomb incident… Since then, we have decided to draw the line on some things. Call that philosophy what you will, but we don’t want to die today. If someone wanted to reject all sense of healthiness and longevity of life, it’s not that hard to do — just add bacon to everything and let the bacon grease cook into all the other ingredients. Of course, people have done this. We have written on the bacon explosion before, which is over-the-top in how fattening it is (and probably in how good it would taste). But some people have to keep taking things farther.
The following video is by a group called Epic Meal Time, and they do create epic meals (as well as slick video productions). Just so you know what you’re getting into, the TurBaconEpic they invented uses 10 packages of bacon and six (6) pounds of butter, as well as a whole pig. They keep a running total on calories and fat grams, and it will blow your mind. This is the most fattening meal I have ever heard of. All in all, their meal had 79,046 calories and 6,892g of fat. Just try to consider that in context with your daily recommended allowance…
All that said, here’s the video. Are you ready?
I wish they would keep their episodes free from crude language. So watch more of their episodes at your own risk.
I’m including this post in the Food Critic series. It’s not a picture, but you can comment on the food creation from the video.
The other night I had an epiphany, and, not surprisingly, it had to do with food. (I tell ya, if I ever opened a restaurant, it would be the greatest thing since sliced bread… or even greater. But I digress…)
It all started when I was baking some tortilla-encrusted Alaskan cod. I like fish, and it’s good for you, too, with its Omega-3 fatty acids (whatever those are). My wife sometimes eats some microwave meal (Healthy Request?) that is tortilla-encrusted fish. It’s not bad, as far as low-fat, healthy microwave meals go.
Anyway, back to non-microwave-ready fish. This fish was encrusted with crumbled-up tortillas, cornmeal, and jalapeños. It was good, but of course, it could be even better. The most obvious way would be to add bacon, but that’s not an epiphany — that’s just common sense. I was thinking of different breadcrumb / encrusting options, and I had the idea of making Cheetos-encrusted fish (or chicken). Would that not be awesome? It’s time for some research!
There were some good (verbal) responses on our recent post with the child-like explanation of nuclear meltdown, so today we’re going to show a video that explains what causes Global Warming. This is a simplified version, at a level anyone can understand. (So if you still don’t get it, you’re obviously making things too complicated.)
FYI, this is from an episode of Futurama, in case you were wondering.
