Win a Year Subscription to the Bacon of the Month Club!
As part of my ongoing and ceaseless quest to produce the quintessential collection of tributes to that savoriest of pork-o-riffic delights (but mainly because Biz, Kar, Kaar and Chica will definitely find this funny) it is my distinct honor to announce the OhMyBacon! Competition.
Submissions are now being taken for the coolest uses of bacon ever. You can enter right now using the Comments form provided in the full entry of this post which can be accessed here.
Submissions should consist of:
- A link to something cool/tasty/crazy/gross having to do with bacon
- A description of why that thing is so bacon-worthy
- A few words on why you love bacon so much (optional, but can’t hurt your chances of winning!)
Submissions will be open until I decide they shouldn’t be open anymore. Best submissions as judged by me and the elite members of the Secret Bacon Society will be presented for voting when we get around to it. This contest will be run as regularly as me and the Secret Bacon Society can afford to run it, or whenever we get grossed out. Sounds shady? It is.
But here’s the kicker, sports fans! The reader whose entry is voted #1 Bacon-y Thing 2006 will win a year subscription to The Bacon of the Month Club!
Seriously.
Second place receives a copy of Footloose and a pork-packed breakfast at Eddie’s Seoul Food on Divis in San Francisco, the best damn diner in the country.
Still serious, here.
They’ll also be a whole bunch of runner’s up who will each receive a free collectible limited edition OhMyBacon! 2006 t-shirt, to be designed by someone who’s way better at graphic design than I am. It’ll be cool. And bacon-y. I promise.
So what qualifies as a good submission, you ask? Bacon recipes? Cool. Bacon clothes? Sign me up. Bacon art. Bring it. Pics of you eating bacon? Consider it brought-en’d. All’s fair game in the battle for the grand prize of 12 sweet, savory months of bacon straight to your doorstep. The only limit is your twisted imagination.
So start submitting. Now. The more you enter, the better chance you have to win. And who knows? All this research in to the wide world of bacon may just make you a better person.
In fact: I *know* it will.
To get you in the spirit, here’s the current leader board:

so, i sit down to lunch ready to hit up the ohmybacon! posting because kei has told me so much about it and because, well, i love bacon. i thought long and hard about what i could submit to get me one step closer to being an official member of the bacon of the month club - courtesy of the gowda himself. and there it was. right before my very eyes. literally. BACON. so, what i’m saying is, i was reading about bacon while actually eating bacon and soon to be writing about bacon. this was not planned, i swear it. AND all the while directly across from me, somewhere in the bowels of my bag sits a tin of bacon bandages. now that’s a lot of bacon. and it’s only tuesday.

It’s one thing to have bacon visuals, but how about visual + olfactory? Witness the bacon scent car air freshener. I bet if you leave your car parked on a really hot day, the subtle pork smell turns to one of sizzling bacon…

Wait, is it too late for the bacon submissions? I have ideas.
Bacon/Fruit Kabob!
Wrap your favorite fruit on a stick in a couple slices of everyone’s favorite pork product, throw on the grill and enjoy. Plums up!
Bacon Sundae! I don’t think finely chopped bacon would be out of order on top of a scoop of vanilla ice cream. I really don’t.
(Can we go to eddy’s even if i don’t win second prize?)

I think the current race is between Zana’s pick and Daddi’s sundae. Thoughts?

this weekend i used a piece of bacon as a bandage. not the kind of bandage with the image of bacon on it, but a real fresh-from-the-butcher shop slab of bacon. i had no choice; i was camping. but, what an unchoice it turned out to be. first, it stopped the bleeding. later, it made a great blood-soaked snack.
one’s own blood + bacon = mo’ better bacon!
try it…

had this posting sent to me this morning from a friend. really it’s a tale of woe about how a martini isn’t a real martini anymore. i say blah blah blah… if i see “something” hanging out in my vodka and upon closer inspection find it’s a strip of bacon…my god, I don’t know what I would do.
From the nypost.com:
THERE it is, sitting behind the bar of the East Village’s Double Down Saloon - an unlabeled vodka bottle in which three bloated strips of bacon stand at attention looking like a med-school project gone awry. Ladies and gentlemen, introducing a binge too far, the final olive-covered straw, the drink that leaves us shaken, anger stirred: the Bacon Martini.
“Nowadays if you pour straight liquor into a martini glass, it’s called a martini,” admits Double Down owner P. Moss, whose bacon creation is made by marinating three strips of fine-cured Tennessee bacon in vodka for 24 hours, then straining it through shaken ice. It’s served in martini glass, with a piece of bacon on the bottom like a tequila worm.
