You can get some sauces that have a really, really light habenero, where you get the flavor and enough heat that if you stop eating it for a few minutes the burn goes away and you don't keep paying for it. Otherwise, I totally agree with you.

I did something at TopGolf last year called the "Screaming Pig Challenge". You had to eat a 3/4 pound pulled pork sandwich, covered in hot sauce, within 10 minutes, and once you finished the sandwich, you had to drink a shot of Frank's Red Hot Sauce. Then, after that, you had a 5 minute burn-in period where you couldn't eat or drink anything.

Well, silly me, I thought the sauce was Frank's Red Hot. No problem at all. First clue something was up was when they made me sign a release form, and handed me a pair of latex gloves. Second clue was when it seemed everyone that worked there came over to watch me attempt the challenge. They brought the sandwich out and I started. First bite wasn't bad at all. It was a bit warm, had a good flavor, then SWEET MOTHER OF BABY JEEBUS!!!! I thought I felt pain when I put the bit of Dave's Ghost Pepper sauce on the chicken breast a couple of years back, which was chronicled on this forum as well. The Top Golf rep said the sauce was ghost pepper extract oil. My boss was there, and said my yearly review would be impacted on my performance tackling the challenge. So I hunkered down, and just powered through the sandwich. It took me about 5 minutes to finish it. I then downed the shot of Frank's Red Hot Sauce. It was like having a snow cone on a 100 degree day.

Now the 5 minute burn in period started. Nothing taken to try and soothe the burn. Cruelly they brought out two glasses of milk and several popsicles to taunt me. I figured it had to be close to the 5 minute mark, but I was only 45 seconds in. So I got up, and started hitting golf balls (it was at Top Golf after all). I was sweating so much that the club slipped out of my hand several times. Finally, the 5 minute mark hit, and I got a big round of applause from the 30 or so folks that gathered around to watch. I quickly downed the milk, and unabashedly sucked on the popsicles.

My boss asked what I got for completing the challenge, and the staff replied that I got the meal for free, a commemorative t-shirt, and $40 worth of free play. He said I was even stupider than I looked.

The rest of the day, I had a Fukushima developing in my lower torso. It wasn't bad, but there was a definite warmth emanating from my abdomen. It wasn't until around 9pm that night that all hell broke loose. I was at my boss' house, and his parents were there as well. I excused myself and left, sparing them the horror that was to be my next few hours.

Awesome story.

That was a great story, cartman, and fun to read.

I agree with this. I went to Quaker State Wings a couple of weeks ago. Awesome wings, but some of the hottest sauces tasted like complete shit. Of their 8 hottest sauces, I've had like 6. I just haven't had the two top ones. Why? Because #3 and #4 aren't that great. In fact, Cajun (I think it's 4th) is downright disgusting. When you drop down to #5 or #6 - the Mango Habanero - it is fucking awesome. So while I can do some of the hot sauce stuff, I just don't see the point. I eat to enjoy my food, which means I want the best tasting stuff. That's rarely, if ever, the hottest stuff.

[ISiddiqui]

People though have different heat tolerances. The ones you thought were awesome may be really mild for other people and thus not worth it. I mean, Vindaloo is good and spicy for Indians, and while it may really burn the mouths of Westerners not used to the spice, dulling that spice may make it dull to Indians.

[finketr]

same thing with Thai hot foods.

[Matthean]

I find I can deal with Thai more than Mexican in terms of heat.

This is from a 1978 storm in Rochester, New York. I've hated winter and snow since early childhood. I'm the shorter one.

The snow mountain at the center of the circle was great fun though!

The boulder came to rest near a rock that had been dislodged many years previously.


A second boulder stopped just short of the house itself.


The rock almost crushed a car parked by the house.


The first boulder rolled right through the barn and courtyard.

Spectacular. Wonder if the farmer will get the hint...

She has a face?

I liked that Julie Bowen had an old hair style in this photo, very reminiscent of her look in "Happy Gilmore."

Dang, I really hate that I totally nerded out looking at these - because they were pretty awesome. But I couldn't help but think the "Greedos" and "Yodas" don't belong. Who names their team after 1 dude ?

I guess .. maybe ... Yoda. He was kind of a legend, and we can't use his entire race as the name (no one knows it).

But, the Greedo one is ridiculous. I get that he was widely popular, but in that universe, he was kind of a tool, and just a Bounty Hunter (a bad one at that). No way would he get a team named after him. Maybe the Rodians (their faces do look cool), but even the race isn't that important.

Dude, they made one for the ewoks.

They should have done something with Han Solo or the Falcon. Agreed that the Greedo one is by far the worst.

Someone made this into a FOF7 set, right?
