Ladies and gentlemen, today we present to you, a little man made out of bacon:

Bacon Man was created for an annual event in San Francisco called, and I’m not making this up, BaconFest. As you can tell from the above photo, he’s about three feet tall, and something of a marvel both in terms of catering and in terms of D.I.Y. weirdness.

Bacon Today, an all-bacon blog, interviewed Bacon Man’s creator, a woman calling herself NetDiva, to learn how Bacon Man was made:

“Bacon Man was made from around 80 bamboo skewers, 60 hot glue sticks and 8 pounds of bacon. The face was made from weaving raw bacon and then microwaving it in sheets. The rest of the construction was made by first building the frame out of skewers and then gluing on cooked and cooled bacon strips. We used a piece of styrofoam for the base and covered it in fabric.”

A similar Bacon Man was recently featured on supersizedmeals.com, with some photos of the building process. I have no idea whether or not the two Bacon Men are related, but one thing is certainly clear: I’m going to need one of these for my next house party.
