Amen
Lord hear our prayers.
((HUGS))Good Wednesday morning, L.J. How’s it going?
Everytime I try to get on FR, there is more than a 50% chance I can't.
Have a wonderful Wednesday. ((HUGS))
Are you calling me a bat? That is an insult to bats everywhere!
I'll second that....
We’ll be at the church all evening with games, candy, and fun for area kids. It’s a way to keep ‘em off the streets and still have Halloween fun. I’m in the chili contest again this year with “That’s-a some-a spicy chili”.
| You Are Traditional |
 You have an amazing memory, and you're good at recreating past events. You love to get a big group of friends together. You can't imagine spending Halloween by yourself. You love decorating, picking out candy, carving pumpkins, and dressing up. You really get into the spirit of things. |
Good afternoon, tom....are you getting any of the after effects from Sandy?
4th try to post. *sigh*
Will it be anything like this?
Frank: “Recently, I was honored to be selected as a judge at a chili cooking contest. The original person called in sick at the last moment and I happened to be standing there at the judge’s table asking for directions to the Coors Light truck, when the call came in. I was assured by the other two judges (native Arizonans) that the chili wouldn’t be all that spicy and, besides, they told me I could have free beer during the tasting, so I accepted.” Here are the scorecards from the advent: (Frank is Judge #3)
Chili # 1 Eddie’s Maniac Monster Chili...
Judge # 1 — A little too heavy on the tomato. Amusing kick.
Judge # 2— Nice, smooth tomato flavor. Very mild.
Judge # 3 — (Frank) What the hell is this stuff?! You could remove dried paint from your driveway. Took me two beers to put out the flames.
I hope that’s the worst one. These Arizonans are crazy!
Chili # 2 Austin’s Afterburner Chili...
Judge # 1 — Smoky, with a hint of pork. Slight jalapeno tang.
Judge # 2— Exciting BBQ flavor; needs more peppers to be taken seriously.
Judge # 3 — Keep this out of the reach of children. I’m not sure what I’m supposed to taste besides pain. I had to wave off two people who wanted to give me the Heimlich maneuver. They had to rush in more beer when they saw the look on my face.
Chili # 3 Ronny’s Famous Burn Down the Barn Chili...
Judge # 1 — Excellent firehouse chili. Great kick.
Needs more beans. Judge # 2 — A beanless chili, a bit salty, good use of peppers.
Judge # 3 — Call the EPA. I’ve located a uranium spill. My nose feels like I have been snorting Drano. Everyone knows the routine by now. Get me more beer before I ignite. Barmaid pounded me on the back, now my backbone is in the front part of my chest. I’m getting sh*t faced from all of the beer...
Chili # 4 Dave’s Black Magic...
Judge # 1 — Black bean chili with almost no spice. Disappointing.
Judge # 2 — Hint of lime in the black beans. Good side dish for fish, or other mild foods; not much of a chili.
Judge # 3 — I felt something scraping across my tongue, but was unable to taste it. Is it possible to burn out taste buds? Sally, the barmaid, was standing behind me with fresh refills. That 300-lb. woman is starting to look HOT...just like this nuclear waste I’m eating! Is chili an aphrodisiac?
Chili # 5 Lisa’s Legal Lip Remover...
Judge # 1 — Meaty, strong chili. Cayenne peppers freshly ground, adding considerable kick. Very impressive.
Judge # 2 — Chili using shredded beef, could use more tomato. Must admit the cayenne peppers make a strong statement.
Judge # 3 — My ears are ringing, sweat is pouring off my forehead, and I can no longer focus my eyes. I ripped ass and four people behind me needed paramedics. The contestant seemed offended when I told her that her chili had given me brain damage. Sally saved my tongue from bleeding by pouring beer directly on it from the pitcher. I wonder if I’m burning my lips off. It really pisses me off that the other judges asked me to stop screaming. Screw those rednecks.
Chili # 6 Pam’s Very Vegetarian Variety...
Judge # 1 — Thin, yet bold vegetarian variety chili. Good balance of spices and peppers.
Judge # 2 — The best yet. Aggressive use of peppers, onions, and garlic. Superb.
Judge # 3 — My intestines are now a straight pipe filled with gaseous, sulphuric flames. I sh*t myself when I farted and I’m worried it will eat through the chair! No one seems inclined to stand behind me anymore.
I need to wipe my ass with a snow cone.
Chili # 7 Carla’s Screaming Sensation Chili...
Judge # 1 — A mediocre chili with too much reliance on canned peppers.
Judge # 2 — Ho-hum; tastes as if the chef literally threw in a can of chili peppers at the last moment. **I should take note that I am worried about Judge #3. He appears to be in a bit of distress, as he is cursing uncontrollably.
Judge # 3 — You could put a grenade in my mouth, pull the pin, and I wouldn’t feel a thing. I’ve lost sight in one eye, and the world sounds like it is made of rushing water. My shirt is covered with chili, which slid unnoticed out of my mouth. My pants are full of lava to match my shirt. At least during the autopsy, they’ll know what killed me. I’ve decided to stop breathing; it’s too painful. Screw it; I’m not getting any oxygen anyway. If I need air, I’ll just suck it in through the 4-inch hole in my stomach.
Chili # 8 Karen’s Toenail Curling Chili...
Judge # 1 — The perfect ending, this is a nice blend chili. Not too bold, but spicy enough to declare its existence.
Judge # 2 — This final entry is a good, balanced chili. Neither mild, nor hot. Sorry to see that most of it was lost when Judge # 3 farted, passed out, fell over, and pulled the chili pot down on top of himself.
Not sure if he’s going to make it. Poor fella, wonder how he’d have reacted to really hot chili?
Lady J...glad to hear you are ok. ((HUGS)) Been living in the motorhome?
Doing OK
It was more a “non” event here; got a little windy, more downtown in the city, by the lake. 10-20ft waves closed LSD for a while yesterday, moved a few boats/yatchs around, but that was all.
We got lucky by being the first to lose power. A neighbor’s dead tree fell across the road and took out all the lines. We got crews here fast and fresh. They worked for about 9 hours and we were back on.
(((HUGS!!!)))
Fabulous! Good to hear. Give Bo a hug for me.
Dude! You’re a cute bat!
And I would be judge #3! LOL
Good luck Jinxie!
Thanks!
It’s warming in a crock pot here in the office; and my eyes are starting to react. I used fresh jalapenos and serranos from a friend’s garden for the heat.
Judge #3 won’t be the only one suffering!
