I’ve seen several posts where people are kind of bitching about this gas-powered snowboard. But I think it’s pretty dope. Marrying the snowboard with the Go-Ped, my only issue is with it’s limited 6.5 horse power engine that’s rated for humanoids weighing under 250lbs.

Perhaps if they dropped the price point to $1,000.00 they could develop a strong enough following to start modding these things and making them worth the ride. I wonder what a better air-intake system would do to these beasts?

Seriously, oh dear eco-whiners, what is not awesome about this?

I see another grand way to deal with our long, vicious Chicago winter.

I’m kind of getting bored with this fad of bacon-everythings, though I try to not let this cloud my interest in one of the most beautiful parts of that amazing magical beast, the pig. In fact, I’m sitting down to a delicious bacon and sunny-side up egg breakfast as I write this.

So Chicago is hosting Baconfest Chicago at the Publican, what a surprise. If you’ve got $75 to burn on your desire to leg hump machismo in this fashion you will get:

• 10 bacon dishes by 10 bacon loving chefs

• 10 beer tastings to go along with your 10 bacon dishes

Meh.

I’m probably a little grumpy this morning, but this here Baconfest Chicago strikes me as eminently boring. Now a bacon fashion show or even bacon shoes? Now, you’ve got my attention.

My breakfast is getting cold.
