Title: "As far as I'm aware it's not a criminal offense to cook very strong chili" Post by: Trippy on October 03, 2007, 08:36:23 PM Spicy chili smell leads to evacuation (http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20071003/ap_on_fe_st/britain_spicy_chili)
Not a particularly interesting story, I just like the quote. Title: Re: "As far as I'm aware it's not a criminal offense to cook very strong chili" Post by: Stormwaltz on October 03, 2007, 09:30:06 PM My wife fried up some habeneros and Thai chiles with garlic and onion for me last week. Spicy, yes. But for the rest of the night she, I, and our 2.5 year old were coughing and sneezing from all the capsaicin in the air upstairs. I told it it was great, but not worth pepper spraying all three of us.

My roommate came home and almost fell over backwards when he opened the door. Threatened to kick me out if I ever even thought about doing it again.
It tasted great. Title: Re: "As far as I'm aware it's not a criminal offense to cook very strong chili" Post by: schild on October 05, 2007, 12:11:37 PM Made chicken vindaloo from scratch once.

If it makes you feel better, I'd pay you to have our house smell like vindaloo.

Always varying the recipe, I added some well-aged green habenero sauce to the marinade. Only about two tablespoons in a few dozen wings. The wings were incredible. Monday and Tuesday were filled with the cold sweats, mild hallucinations and what felt like a chest-popper in my abdomen. I even met my spirit guide.

I think we should start a new meme. Those are great creatures. Title: Re: "As far as I'm aware it's not a criminal offense to cook very strong chili" Post by: caladein on October 05, 2007, 12:44:00 PM (http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/28/Wolpertinger.jpg/531px-Wolpertinger.jpg)
Needs wings, and fangs.

I thought they just didn't want to call it a Jackalope for some lame reason. It also explains why it's linked to their Ocktoberfest. Nifty,I learned something, time to go home.

Best minor league hockey team name ever.

It even includes the wiki page for Jackalope (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jackalope) in it's description of the fabled German beer-garden hallucination.

That's where I grew up. They were very proud of the team. I have no idea why in the hell jackalopes were associated with W. Texas so much despite several strange theories I have heard over the years. And don't even get me started on the retarded people at school who actually thought the jackalope was a real creature because they had seen it on a postcard in Wal-Mart... |
