This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.
Important notes on articles:
- Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
- Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
- If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

I cook a lb of bacon in the oven and pour off the grease. by Giggity_Giggity
(Foil line the baking sheet or else!)
Let the fat cool a bit and then funnel into a bottle of cheap bourbon (I use Old Forested 100 or Evan Williams black label) that you’ve removed 1-2 Oz from. Cork, shake it until your balls are about to fall off, and then pour it into a large mixing bowl. Place mixing bowl in freezer for 24 hrs. Do not stir or disturb in any way.
Eat bacon, drink poured off 1-2oz of bourbon.
After 24 hrs, remove mixing bowl and pick up solid disc of bacon fat. Trash or reuse as cooking grease. Strain bourbon through coffee filters (I just use my coffee maker for this, and strain into the normal carafe). It may take several filters and a bit of time.
Cork and enjoy.
