What'll they think of next?

Bacon popcorn? Dutch it with Cheddar cheese popcorn and I do believe you get Perfect Popcorn.

Getting ready for movie night at home? You may not be able to beat the local cineplex's huge screen or THX-certified sound system, but you can best them on drinks and snacks, starting with Bacon Pop ($12/3 boxes). From the same great minds that brought you Baconnaise and Bacon Salt comes this microwaveable bacon-flavored popcorn, with just the right hint of butter and outstanding real bacon taste. Grab your favorite beer, sit down in your own recliner, and enjoy.

Somali pirates are still out there, and they're still "dee dee dee."

LONDON — As piracy intensifies in the Indian Ocean, seaborne raiders tried again on Wednesday to commandeer the Maersk Alabama, the first American-flag ship seized by pirates last April, the United States Navy said.

[....]

The United States Navy Central Command said four suspected pirates in a skiff came within 300 yards of the Maersk Alabama at 6.30 a.m. Wednesday about 600 miles off the northeast coast of Somalia as it headed for the Kenyan port of Mombasa.

But a security team on board the Maersk Alabama responded with small-arms fire, long-range acoustical devices painful to the human ear and evasive maneuvers to thwart the attack, the navy said in a statement.

“Due to Maersk Alabama following maritime industry’s best practices such as embarking security teams, the ship was able to prevent being successfully attacked by pirates,” said Vice Adm. Bill Gortney, the commander of the Central Command. “This is a great example of how merchant mariners can take pro-active action to prevent being attacked.”

No injuries or damage were reported, the Navy said.

Maersk decided not to be a mark anymore, and luck (along with the size of the Alabama, I suspect) just happened to bring the pirates back around. Maybe armed convoys is the answer. I mean, scaring away crooks by shooting at them with guns, who'da thunk, right?

The Only NFL Review You Need for Week 10

The Niners won and the Raiders lost. Week 10 was just dandy.

This week's Chicken Dinner goes to LaDainian Tomlinson; he's expecting his first child with lovely wife LaTorsha, and marched the Chargers to victory on 96 yards and 2 TDs in 24 touches. This week's Goat goes to Bill Belichick for a foolish gamble on 4th down, deep in his Patriots' side of the field, that essentially handed the game to the Colts while lowering his own team's morale; in the words of former Pats LB -- and someone who well knows Belichick -- Tedy Bruschi: "The decision to go for it would be enough to make my blood boil for weeks....I would look at this decision as a lack of confidence in our ability as a defensive unit to come up with a big play to win the game."

What's better than turkey? Deep-fried turkey, of course.

As we've seen in countless YouTube videos, frying a turkey isn't always the cleanest — or safest — of holiday culinary feats, so make your Thanksgiving a less messy and hazardous affair with the Butterball Turkey Fryer ($120). This indoor-friendly fryer can handle birds of up to 14 pounds with ease, and also features a digital timer, adjustable thermostat control, a fold-away lid with viewing window and built-in filter. The best part? The included cooking basket also works for foods other that gobblers, meaning that it will be useful more than just once a year.
