Bacon Rocket!
I made this!
We made a bacon rocket! Rocket Science and Bacon Science, 2 disciplines at the pinnacle of human achievement, finally united!
*EDIT* I've whacked an mp3 of the Bacon Rocket song up due to popular demand - you can grab it here if you like.

I feel ashamed to admit
I have no bacon in the house. Otherwise I would make one too, though would try not to shoot it through the window.. :)

the cruel irony is
that i feel future experiments would of course be increasingly succesful, but I have been banned from all further rocketry

Rocket
is a part of modern day salad, and that has been proved good for you. Therefore, ignoring rockets is bad for your health and discriminatory. Fact.
may in fact, not be fact.

What let you down there wasn't the bacon...
but the toast guidance fins. Bread has no place in aeronautical design. Fact.

I believe
current thinking is that eggy fried bread is aerodynamically sound, but the correct mix is essential.

I;d love to keep working on this stuff
but I've been comprehensively banned by my wife.
I pointed out that if Werner von Braun had been grounded every time he'd fired a rocket-propelled sausage through his living room window, then man would never have reached the moon, but for some reason my protestations fell on deaf ears

Point out
that sometimes a man-pad up the flaptrack is enevitable. It won't help, but it is a lovely phrase to use in context.
EDIT: To de-RIS. A MANPAD is a type of Surface to Air Missile, a flap track is part of the wing of an aircraft. The two came together a few years ago when I was working for the firm that built the 'plane, and the phrase was born. It always made me giggle like a schoolgirl but I so rarely can bring it into conversation.

I think the only flaw in the design was the toast fins
Clearly they failed aerodynamically, you should have buttered them up on both sides to reduce friction :)
