Baconpalooza? You Had Me at Bacon Bra!

Maybe I should reconsider bacon

I am in a horse-crap mood so what better therapy than to blog? Whenever I am in a bad mood I think what time of the month is it? 9 1/2 times out of 10 it's the end of the month and it is my Mattstruation or Manstruation time of the month (both of those words are patent pending/trademarked/copy-written).


When did bacon make such a huge comeback in popularity? I mentioned the bacon sundae at Burger King on this week's Dirty Laundry Podcast and when I took my watch to the jewelers the other day because it is sweating on the inside because of the humidity I found out that it is Baconpalooza in our town this Saturday as part of Kishwaukee Fest (the one where the podcast was in the parade last year). You can go around to the various businesses downtown and get some booze and bacon, swine and wine, port and pork, pig and swig... I really should copyright some of those names. One of the bars, O' Leary's, is serving some bacon cocktails like: The Bacon Mary, Hawaiian Luau, Irish Boar and The Pizza Shot. Most of these drinks use bacon vodka. I didn't even know they had bacon vodka. I think this must be sponsored by the AMA (American Medical Association) or The American Heart Association or something. I really don't care for O' Leary's but I did see a porn star (T.J. Hart) there once speaking of pork.


I guess The Olympics started today or last night or sometime in England last night. We won't get to see them until tonight in America. I probably won't watch much of The Olympics mainly because of scheduling conflicts. I will root for America though. Go America!!


I am pretty sure I am going to go to the premier of Carl Panzram: The Spirit of Hatred and Vegence. I will have to take a day off of work but how often does one get to go to premier? Even cooler is that Dirty Laundry Podcast is going to be listed in the closing credits. It also happens to be Cha Cha's birthday that day and we could go the Chicago early and grab a birthday lunch or something. I have been on the fence about going but it seems like several of our past podcast guests will be there and maybe some celebrities we can rub microphones with? If you want to listen to our podcast with filmmaker John Borowski check out John Borowski's website. You can also find out there how you can go to his latest movie's Chicago premier too and rub elbows with Cha Cha on her birthday. I love John's films and know I will love this one too.


Writing today's blog has made me less crabby so, thank you for being here and decrabifying me. I am tired now and think I am going to hit the rack. I hope you have a great Friday because you have earned it. I may blog again tomorrow because I am pretty sure I will be crabby again tomorrow morning and I may need your help again to not be a Crabby Matty. TTT?...MITM (crabbed out)! Ta!
