There is no word obscene enough...

The Bacon Hamburger Fatty Melt, a Bacon Burger with Two Bacon-Stuffed Grilled Cheese Sandwiches as Bun.

Scroll down and look at the double...

This, to me, is even more deadly than those 20-lb hamburger monstrosities some bars like to challenge their dimwitted patrons with. Because a normal human being might just be able to eat it. If I consumed one of these bad boys - especially the double, and assuming I could keep it down - my heart would seize up like an engine that had been fueled with sand-laden diesel, my arteries would turn to latex and you could drag me to Naples behind the QEII so all my Italian relatives could skate over on the oil slick.

Jenis, Mogg and Joran!

Speaking of engines, here's a vid of a 1918 farm engine being restored by the son of one of my friends - he does this as a hobby.

It's a single-piston job, using an igniter instead of a spark plug. Very cool.

I see that engine and think....SEX....
can't think why. You see these little brutes at steam rallies and fairs in this country, always surrounded by admirers...
big boys toys.... there's something about the smell of hot metal steam and smoke and even oily fumes that excites the male pulse....

The rhythm of that engines stroking is so compelling.....

Well, I get 10 Points for Wholesomeness today... that hadn't even crossed my mind. Now that you have poisoned me, I must disgorge this:

There once was a man from Racine
Who invented a machine.
Both concave and convex
It could serve either sex
Entertaining itself inbetween.

Thank you very little!

Mmmm...baaaa-con. *drools*

That engine is in excellent shape for being un-restored.
Is it all original?

The restoration is almost complete at this stage. He uses all original parts - I looked closely at the igniter assembly, and all the labels looked like they had been manufactured in 1918, although they were as clean as a whistle.

Interesting old engine; how is it cooled? Kind of reminds me of the engine in a friend's Fairmont railroad speeder; has a radiator but the water flow is by convection instead of a pump.

Cooled by boiling water - the green tank on the top of the engine is the reservoir, and the cylinder dwells within, surrounded by the coolant.
