A Bacon Flavored Bloody Mary Anyone?

By Bryon Zirker

These days mixed drinks seem to have been taken to a new
level of manliness. "Everything is better with bacon," says
the owner/proprietor of Jake's Dixie Roadhouse (I can think
of a few things that wouldn't be).

He invented the Bacon Bloody Mary by frying up some
applewood smoked bacon and letting it soak in vodka for
a month. After much straining, he was left with the cloudy,
bacon-flavored vodka that he is using to make his cocktail.

Pretty cool I guess, when someone asks what you are drinking
at 8 or 9 in the morning just say bacon.

Interesting Note:Weird Scholarships

Most scholarships are given out to the most talented,
hardest working, and most deserving students. But not
all.

Here are a few of the weirdest:

Tall Clubs International (TCI) offers several $1,000
scholarships each year.

Requirements: You must be under 21, about to begin your
first semester in college, and, most important, at least
6'1" (for males) or 5'10" (for females). Applicants also
have to write an essay on what being tall means to them.

For the Van Valckenburg scholarship, you have to share
the last name of Van Valckenburg. If you do, and you can
write a good 500-word essay, you get $1,000.

The Frederick and Mary F. Beckley scholarship is for
financially "needy" (their word) students - with a catch:
You have to be left-handed.

$6,000 goes to the annual winner of the Duck Brand Duct
Tape Scholarship. To enter, you have to create a full
prom ensemble out of - you guessed it - duct tape.

Bird Facts-Bird Trivia

During the Middle Ages, peacocks and swans were sometimes served
at Christmas suppers.

To scare away predators, giant petrels throw up on them.

Over 100 million birds die each year in the U.S. by
crashing into windows.

Those cute little Hummingbirds can flap their wings 80 times
per second. They can also fly left, right, up, down, backward,
and upside-down.

Chickens really can fly - though they do not fly very well
compared to most birds. The world record for a non-stop chicken
flight is a bit more than 230 yards.

Thought This Was Cool..............

"The lion cannot protect himself from traps, and the fox
cannot defend himself from wolves. One must therefore be
a fox to recognize traps, and a lion to frighten wolves."
