But now to the next question, how much will the person who finds him get for piggy on ebay?

I don't know that "let" was part of the equation.

I can just imagine the conversation between a fighter pilot sent up to investigate this UFS* and their base.

"It's a pig."
"A MIG?!"
"No. A Pig, as in pork. A giant flying pig."
"ummm... Right...."

Step right up and place your bets ladies and gentlemen......

How long will it be before said pig is up for auction on EBay?

Bonus points if you come closest to the actual selling price.

It'll show up on Ebay in week and will sell for $559.

See my post on the flying pig here.

If it shows up, it will be at the Coachella box office with a request for 4 lifetime passes and $10,000. I'd also request back stage passes and a limo ride to the event.

I don't know....

I'd suspect you could get more from Ebay.

So last night's dinner started out as "I want steak" and ended up as a bacongasm.

Bought some meat to make beef skewers, and then, since we were firing up the BBQ anyway (coal - it's a b*tch to light so ya make the most of it once you do), I figured I'd get a pound of bacon...and a can of water chestnuts... and some shrimp... Also got some ears of corn, onions, and a garlic bulb, but they have nothing to do with the bacon.

ANYWAY, made a new "candied" marinade for the bacon, much sweeter than the one I used at New Years (though not as good as Susan's!) I used craploads of brown sugar, a generous sprinkling of Worcestershire, a generous splash of soy sauce, a small splash of balsamic vinegar, and some water to make the goo viscous enough to put all the bacon into the bag and mix it around (oh yeah, I use a zip-loc for this)

Then I wrapped the marinated bacon around water chestnuts, pierced with a toothpick and placed on a foil-covered cookie sheet (okay the chestnuts ended up in the oven, not the bbq). The rest of the bacon got wrapped around raw peeled shrimp, skewered, and cooked on the bbq.

There was a remaining piece or two of bacon - they went right on the grill.

And in case you're interested in the non-bacon, the corn was wrapped in foil with butter and seasoned salt. The bulb of garlic wrapped in foil by itself. And there were also a couple burgers tossed on the grill.

Never did remember one of the things I'd planned, which was to wrap bacon around some of the hot dogs in the fridge. Another time, I guess!

Oh here's another tidbit. Bought the bacon at Stater Bros. and I bought the cheapest stuff in the ugliest package (you know, the blue box?) - awesome bacon. Super meaty, I mean way better than the Oscar Meyer stuff!

What the hell? Are those bacon-wrapped Twinkies?
