Oz The Gweat And Tewwible

The subject line really has nothing to do with this post at all. Just rambling on about things that I've done recently. Things that are fun and different, as opposed to normal everyday things like poopin'.

Your awsomeness continues to amaze me. However...

"I want to sit and watch all the Saw movies back to back."

HG is FUCKED UP!!!

Personally, I think it's the best way to watch movie series. I want to own and run a theater that ONLY shows movie series. You could watch LOTR back to back, or Star Wars I-VI, or Back to the Future, or a Halloween weekend of terror. So much potential!

She likes clever horror movies. Saw is better than your average "kill them all" class gorefest film. Kinda lags in the middle few, but gets better around V and VI.

Helps to have an "upper" movie to follow that kind of epic marathon, though. But now I forgot what we watched to be the chaser. Heh.

I agree with the series theater. That would be cool. I don't care for horror movies at all, and watching them back to back... more power to her though!

Someone once tried to convince me that Alien was a horror movie. O.o

[chaosvizier]

I think Alien IS a horror movie. It follows many of the staple "horror" elements: making the audience jump (from the facehugger to the Alien snatching Dallas and Parker to the final scene in the escape shuttle), some blood and guts (mostly Kane getting the male version of a C-section), the dwindling cast of characters (from 7 and 1 cat to 1 and 1 cat) (the animal never gets it) in complete isolation (spaceship fifty years from Earth might as well be a lost cabin in the woods)... I think it's a very special horror movie.

Aliens, of course, is not. That's action all the way down. And that's all good.

Step 5: Come back tomorrow. Remove the bowl from freezer. At this point the bacon fat has congealed into a solid disk floating on top. Remove that and discard, unless you have a use for congealed bacon fat with whiskyish aftertones. I don't want to know.

Actually, it's not uncommon to save bacon fat (after straining it through cheesecloth or something) and use it like butter or shortening.

I have to post your epic Saw recap to metaquotes.

Hmm, I guess that does make sense. My culinary skills are questionable at best, but baconwhiskybutter... HOOAH!

You are actually a year too late for the bacon innovation -- I took part in a Bacon cookoff about a year ago. ...I made some cookies, and knew as soon as I showed up (and ended up between a guy who had a bacon-based sloppy joe and a guy who cured his own bacon) that I would lose.

However, the winner devised a bacon-bourbon ice cream. Which could clearly be the next step in your creation. (Plus -- one person who tasted my cookies said they would make a great ice cream sandwich with that ice cream, and I concur.)

The bacon cookoffs are far from over -- they just had one in Austin, and the guy who coordinates these is local. You may want to keep experimenting in the kitchen.

I'd read about Bacon-infused vodka and whiskey before, true. But putting it into practice... much different.

HG made bacon-chocolate-chip cookies before as well. They were tasty, although not everyone fully agreed. But they're all a bunch of bacon-hating heathens anyway. ;-)

New Year's Resolution: Live vicariously through you.

[chaosvizier]

I want to live vicariously through me too. This way I'll get less liver disease, I think. Probably less diabetes too. ;-)

Well, maple syrup flavor does go well with bacon. Therefore, maple/whisky/bacon must also be a success!
