This is a little long ...I hope it comes out OK because I had to strip it from an email that was forwarded like 30 times and tone down a couple of words.

Coke and Embarrassing laughter at work alert!


CHILI COOK-OFFS

For those of you who may have lived in Texas, you know how true this is! They actually have a chili cook-off about the time the rodeo comes to town. It takes up a major portion of the parking lot at the Astrodome!
NOTE: Please take time to read this slowly. If you pay attention to the first two judges, the reaction of the third is even better.

INEXPERIENCED CHILI TASTER

Notes From An Inexperienced Chili Tester Named FRANK, who was visiting Texas from the East Coast: "Recently, I was honored to be selected as a judge at a chili cook-off. The original person called in sick at the last moment and I happened to be standing there at the judge's table asking directions to the beer wagon, when the call came. I was assured by the other two judges (Native Texans) 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 event:
__________________________________________________________
CHILI # 1 MIKE'S MANIAC MOBSTER MONSTER CHILI
JUDGE ONE: A little too heavy on tomato. Amusing kick.
JUDGE TWO: Nice, smooth tomato flavor. Very mild.
FRANK: Holy $nit, what the hell is this stuff? You could remove
dried paint
from your driveway. Took me two beers to put the flames out. I hope
that's
the worst one. These Texans are crazy.
__________________________________________________________
CHILI # 2 ARTHUR'S AFTERBURNER CHILI
JUDGE ONE: Smokey, with a hint of pork. Slight Jalapeño tang.
JUDGE TWO: Exciting BBQ flavor needs more peppers to be taken seriously.
FRANK: Keep this out of the reach of children I'm not sure what I am
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 FRED'S FAMOUS BURN DOWN THE BARN CHILI
JUDGE ONE: Excellent firehouse chili! Great kick. Needs more beans.
JUDGE TWO: A beanless chili, a bit salty, good use of peppers.
FRANK: 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 ****-faced from all the beer.
________________________________________________________
CHILI # 4 BUBBA'S BLACK MAGIC
JUDGE ONE: Black bean chili with almost no spice. Disappointing.
JUDGE TWO: Hint of lime in the black beans. Good side dish for fish
or other mild foods, not much of a chili.
FRANK: I felt something scraping across my tongue, but was unable to
taste it, is it possible to burnout taste buds? Sally, the barmaid, was
standing behind me with fresh refills; that 300 lb. 81tch is starting to look
HOT just like this nuclear waste I'm eating. Is chili an aphrodisiac?
_______________________________________________________
CHILI # 5 LINDA'S LEGAL LIP REMOVER
JUDGE ONE: Meaty, strong chili. Cayenne peppers freshly ground,
adding considerable kick. Very Impressive.
JUDGE TWO: Chili using shredded beef, could use more tomato. Must
admit the cayenne peppers make a strong statement.
FRANK: My ears are ringing, sweat is pouring off my forehead and I
can no longer focus my eyes. I farted 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 a 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 VERA'S VERY VEGETARIAN VARIETY
JUDGE ONE: Thin yet bold vegetarian variety chili. Good balance of
spice and peppers.
JUDGE TWO: The best yet. Aggressive use of peppers, onions, and
garlic Superb.
FRANK: My intestines are now a straight pipe filled with gaseous,
sulfuric flames. I $nit myself when I farted and I'm worried it will eat
through the chair. No one seems inclined to stand behind me except Sally. Can't
feel my lips anymore. I need to wipe my butt with a snow cone!
___________________________________________________
CHILI # 7 SUSAN'S SCREAMING SENSATION CHILI
JUDGE ONE: A mediocre chili with too much reliance on canned
peppers.
JUDGE TWO: 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 Number 3, He appears to be in a bit of distress as he is cursing
uncontrollably.
FRANK: You could put a grenade in my mouth, pull the pin, and I
wouldn't feel a damn 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-like $nit to
match my damn 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.


I roar and cry every time I read this thing....My fiancée gets mad and can not understand why I laugh so much at it. Then Again ...she never eats anything hot.

Reminds me of a short time back...I ate at a place on the "other side of the tracks". The jambalaya came in Regular and Mild. When I asked for Regular a woman that out weighed me by 100 pounds came over and said " BOY...I don't think you want the regular....You might be gettin' in a little over yer head."
I think it was one of the hottest things I HAVE EVER EATEN. The worse part was that I had to sit there and pretend that nothing was wrong because I insisted that I could handle the Regular.
 
I'm surprised I can type....I rarely laugh out loud at work when reading e-mails, but this was AWESOME!!! Thanks Dec...I needed that, it is a pretty slow day today....there are tears in my eyes...
 
Dectek this was awesome! Thanks for sharing it. It reminded me of my first Palm Beach County Annual Fire Department Chili Cookoff! Anyone that has been to one can understand!

Hilarious. I laughed until tears ran down my cheeks.

I remember the first time I tried a HOT chili. I was on vacation in the U.S. and we stopped somewhere in Arizona at a "Mexican" restaurant. I tried the HOT chili thinkin that since I had travelled in countries like India that HOT would be ok....... I took a big bite and literally thought they were going to need to call an ambulance to come with a respirator. It immediately gave me a case of the hiccups that didn't go away for an hour... :)

I can also attest to the fact that beer does not make the pain go away. :)

R..
 
Reminded me of a time when I was making a spaghetti sauce and was crushing whole dried chili peppers then rubbed my eye. :flamy: Cried for two days...
 
Holy Hannah, I'm dyin'!

My brother was once making chili using those "Scotch Bonnet" peppers. He made the mistake of going for a leak without washing the oils off his hands.
He likened the pain to pouring gas in your crotch!:wacko: :wacko: :wacko: :wacko:
He later reported being amazed at how far the affected area could stretch, in order to get it under the faucet!
