RED GOLD in PDX on 4/16 with free salmon

Posted in Laser Awesomnality on April 8th, 2009 by bacon_to_fry

Just got word Red Gold will play PDX again, this time at the legendary Bagdad Theater, where they sell health food in the form of beer and pizza.

Even better, they’ll be serving free Bristol Bay sockeye salmon to once again accompany M. Harris’ complementary double-down lap dances. Word is, he’ll be breaking out all-new material, this routine titled Thrust and Awe.

All joking aside, it’s a very kid-friendly event and if you haven’t seen the film, the Bagdad’s big screen would be a pretty bomber place to watch a fantastic documentary about a national treasure not worth losing to the almighty, temporary dollar.

When: April 16th @ 6:30, doors @ 5:3.

Where: Bagdad Theatre, 3702 SE Hawthorne Blvd.

Extra Credit: Someone please spot JayJ some cheddar for foosball later.

Conan! What is Best in Life?

To crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and to hear the sizzling of their bacon!

Is it safe?

Just in time for Easter it’s Mjolnir, the hammer of Thor! The bacon, which represents awesome, is bound to the world-burger with the blood of the giant Hymir, here provided in a handy squeeze bottle.

Thor once went fishing with Hymir the giant, who refused to provide Thor with bait, so Thor struck the head off Hymir’s largest ox to use as such, even though he was planning on fishing flies anyway, because Hymir was an annoying dick. Thor’s offering was eaten by Jörmungandr the Midgard Serpent, whom Thor pulled from the water, whereupon the two faced off, Jörmungandr spewing blood and poison. Hymir went pale with fear, and as Thor reached for his hammer to kill the beast, Hymir cut the line, letting the serpent sink beneath the waves. Because Hymir was also a pussy.

Dude stop crying and get the net! Damn!

The texts are unclear, but one presumes that Thor then beat the living snot out of Hymir to give him something to cry about. The lesson I guess is that bacon is awesome, and you shouldn’t fish with giant whiny annoying pussies.

NEWSFLASH – There’s an easier way!!!!

Posted in Absolute Horseshit, All that is way fucking wrong, bacon!, Buster Saving You Money Everyday, Eat This Jim Harrison, Know from where your dinner comes, Ridiculously Brilliant, Science!, Utterly Ridiculous, who eats that?, Why do we make this so complicated?, You Won't Find This Shit On The Fly Fishing Rabbi on April 5th, 2009 by Smithhammer

How often have you found yourself laying in your tent in the morning, seriously hungover, craving a bacon breakfast, but unwilling to move? How often have you found yourself laying in your tent late at night, craving just a wee pork snack before slumber, but unwilling to move? How often do you just feel unwilling to do anything more than the bare minimum, period, no matter where you are?

Well, we all loves the squeeler, but let’s face it – makin’ bacon is a labor-intensive chore. First, you have to fire up the Coleman two-burner, then you have to place a pan on the grill, then put the bacon in it, and then, as if that weren’t enough, you have to flip the damn thing over halfway through the process…. all this before that slab of porcine love ever reaches your plate. No wonder you’re exhausted. I mean Jeezus – could they make cooking bacon any more like brain surgery?!? 

Well, take heart, you lazy stains – Buster is always looking for ways to make your life easier, and the answer has been found:

We’ve also recently discovered that if you squeeze it onto a string and let it dry for a few weeks, it makes an excellent chenille for streamer patterns. Bass luves it.

Hidden jewels (Part 2)

Posted in Fish Local, Git, Laser Awesomnality, Tunes, You Won't Find This Shit On The Fly Fishing Rabbi on April 3rd, 2009 by creeklover

I guess I’m going to get all fancy and call this a continuing series. This will make installment number two of badass albums that got overlooked back in the day. D. Braxton Harris kicked things off with the laser, Deep Dark Black. Up next is the Hilltop’s Big Black River. It’s a primer, if you will, for the Blue Mountain catalog. The Hilltops were composed of Cary Hudson, Laurie Stiratt, John Stiratt, and Hank Sossaman. Cary and Laurie went on to form one of my all-time favorite bands, Blue Mountain. Laurie’s brother, John, went on to join Jeff Tweedy on the final Uncle Tupelo lineup and then Wilco. No idea on Hank.

 

Big Black River has a roughness to it that I crave. Especially these days where everything seems so polished, marketed, and calculated. The album’s sound is one of it’s treasures. The same reason I dig Lucero’s Attic Tapes. It’s as far removed from pop princesses, Toby Keiths, and American Idols as it can get. I frequently listen to this one on a lazy Sunday afternoon on the way home from my favorite little flow. Standout tracks for me are “Broke Down and Busted”, “Big Black River”, and “Dead End Street”. Big Black River was released on Fishtone Records, 1991, and then re-released on Black Dog records years later. Might be hard to find or out of print…..A definite git.

“The song of the river ends not at her banks but in the hearts of those that have loved her.”

Shoot to Kill

Posted in open thread motherfuckers! on April 1st, 2009 by bacon_to_fry

Carolina Kid Ryan Dunne sent us this here video about lovin’ him some Lewis and Clarkeage-style Nicarauguan Tarpon action, mentioned he’s just an amateur on a path towards greatness and asked for some comments. Being that we’re staunch professionals not in the habit of lending our awesome free advice for free, we thought the Buster Elite were pretty capable of helping the fella out with some down-home Buster-style constructive criticism.

Have at it, stains ‘colored patches or dirty marks that are difficult to remove’, but be nice. Ryan Dude might have a sister that proves “useful”and you need him on your side:
