And so begins the Mike Nelson Bacon Deathwatch 2009

Mike NelsonMike Nelson is a good guy. And he has always seemed like a reasonable guy to me. But now I think he's lost it a little.

For the entire month of February, the Mystery Science Theater 3000 host/head writer is going to eat nothing but bacon. That's right, nothing but bacon for an four weeks. Make sure you have your best suit dry cleaned for the inevitable funeral in March.

OK, maybe he'll survive like Morgan Spurlock did, though Spurlock's whole experiment was rather lame and misleading, in my opinion. But eating nothing but one of the most incredibly unhealthy foods (the fat! the grease! the salt!) for an entire month? I'm not too sure about that. He'll be drinking liquids, but most of them are alcohol (and water). No veggies or fruits for an entire month. Wow, even if you ate nothing but pizza for an entire month you'd at least get dairy and fiber and maybe some veggies. Mike will be keeping track of his progress (with bacon photos!) at Rifftrax.

Godspeed Mike. Godspeed.

Are you sure he hasn't been living on bacon for the past 15 years? He used to be sorta hot in a dorky way, WTF happened?

If the bacon craze has hit uber healthy Boulder, Colorado, he's probably going to emerge healthy as an ox. Probably slipping supplements or chitogenics or something, LOL.

I'd be more concerned about 4 weeks of constipation than heart attack.

Ohmigosh, the man is going to die from a heart attack and he won't look pretty when it happens . . .
