"When Brooks Reynolds was asked the question Des Moines always asks itself - "What does Des Moines need?" - this is what he said:

"A festival for bacon."

Thus, the High Life Lounge will hold its first Blue Ribbon Bacon Festival March 1, National Pig Day, attracting bacon lovers from California and Arizona along with a Pittsburgh bacon blogger."

*The video may be Canadian, but the bacon being processed doesn't seem to be Canadian-style bacon. Then again, we didn't ask to see that bacon's passport.

Hey Bacon Bloggers!

"Resolution Three is where it's at. I want to bacon up some booze. My project for 2008 is to take popular cocktails and bacon them up with Bacon Salt."

OMG!!! PONIES!!! Bacon Cocktail Resolution

"Resolutions suck! Challenges are where it's at, fool. The challenge for 2008: 365 pieces of bacon in 365 days. Actually 365 pieces of bacon in 366 days (leap year!) Challenge ourselves! Challenge each other! Challenge science!"

The Bacon Challenge
