our buffet o’ bacon
Last night I had the entire Buffet o’ Blog staff at my house, and we created a Buffet o’ Bacon. There was regular crispy bacon, baked bacon-wrapped smokies with BBQ sauce (which were awesome!), shish-ka-bobs with bacon, ham, and cheese, and there was some bacon-wrapped croissants. It even got a little crazy when someone put candy corn on some of the bacon-wrapped croissants before putting them in the oven.
Needless to say, we had a great time. We shared our unique analysis of the second presidential debate (and it’s too bad our discussion wasn’t recorded for a podcast), and we did some multiplayer network gaming (to build an empire and conquer the world), and we ate lots of bacon.
I do have to say the bacon-wrapped croissants didn’t turn out as well as expected. Here’s a picture before cooking, when it seemed like a good idea:
The problem was, most of the croissants absorbed all of the bacon grease, and thus were quite “heavy”. We’re gonna have a talk with that “Important Doctor” that frequents this blog, because he’s talked of using bacon grease in your diet, and there’s some flaws with that plan. I still think the bacon and cheese plan might work, as long as you drain the bacon grease.
Ironically, the ones with the candy corn turned out pretty good. The candy melted and most of it ran off, and the bacon grease drained off some, too. So what was left was like a cracker with bacon and a honey glaze.
All in all, that evening was the awesome! I do think we’ll have to do this again…

coworker is an alien — If this is true, then you need to be very careful! An alien is not going to come to Earth just to sit in a cubicle and do work; he obviously has some ulterior motives. He could be here for research, spying, infiltration, or kidnapping. But regardless of that, there’s another aspect of this to consider. Do you have any idea how much fame and fortune you could get by discovering an alien?!? People have tried to prove the existence of UFOs for decades, and if you could, you’d be so famous. So document all your encounters with him/her/it, and keep your proof in a safe place. Write a book with an accompanying DVD, then hit the talk show circuit. You’ll easily make millions!
