Yet another amusing chili story....
The one about my mate going home and indulging in a bit of \'digital\' with his woman.
I believe that was the last time he was ever intimate with that particular girlfriend!!!

They just did a \'taste test\' of one of Baird\'s hot sauces - the hottest thing ever - on the radio this morning. One of the interns agreed to try the stuff. It comes with a legal waiver, and the bottle was described as coming \'sealed in wax\'.
It\'s warning label said on it, something to the effect of:
\"This is not a sauce. This is an ingredient. One quarter teaspoon per liter of sauce is sufficient. Do not allow direct contact with skin or tongue.\"
So, the waiver was signed, and the quarter teaspoon blended in with a liter of bbq sauce, and he tried it.
I turned the volume up on the radio, at that point, to hear everything.
Taste test made:
First five seconds: \"I don\'t really taste much of a difference. It\'s a bit spicier than plain bbq sauce, though.\"
Second five seconds: \"I think I\'m starting to feel something, now. Yes, that\'s definitely pretty hot...\"
Third five seconds: \"Oh, jesus! Ow! Get me milk! Oh *beep beep beep beep* that\'s hot!\"
The following fifteen seconds, no comprehensible words were audible over the laughter of the DJ\'s, but there was a lot of yelling, and the sound of spilling liquid, presumably the spilling of the jug of milk that was handy.
Ten minutes later, when the poor intern had recovered enough to speak, he said he couldn\'t feel his tongue anymore.
The hottest stuff I\'ve ever tried, myself, was a sauce called \'Endorphin Rush\', which was like the above described stuff (called Satan\'s Tears, I think), which nearly gave a friend of mine a heart attack, and gave me some very painful sensations... but we didn\'t dillute it when we tried it. We had it plain.
We were idiots.

I remember seeing a factory where they made horseradish. The workers wore something akin to space suits. The \'sauce\' was that strong.

I\'m seeing all the \'willy\' stories and I just had to share one myself.
Working in the airline industry, there is a synthetic hydraulic (oxymoron there) fluid called Skydrol. Nasty stuff.
Essentially, you want as much protection as possible as it will eat up your skin pretty good and cause all sorts of dermatitus problems. Lot of people usually got it in their eyes and you had to use Olive Oil to get it out as water would just make it all the worst (doesn\'t mix well with hydraulic fluid).
Anyhow, the new guys usually got the crap jobs. I was the new guy, but I had heard about this stuff, so I took all the procautions ... or so I thought.
I finish up with the job I\'m working on and have to hit the restroom. Go on into the mens room, spend about fifteen minutes washing my hands and forearms and scrubbing the hell out of them and then head on over the the urinal.
Yup, everything working like normal - :: whistle :: ... :: whistle :: .... hey ... that\'s .... aaaah maaaaan ... shiiiiiiit!
I neglected to notice that I had gotten some on the front of my jeans, particularly, my zipper.
:::::::: cut scene - one minute later :::::::::
So there I am, with my britches completely off, my underwear hanging around an ankle and I\'m practically sitting in the round sink in the middle of the clean room (you know, the type that you can have ten guys gather around and step on the bar below to get your water). One foot firmly stomping the hell out of the water bar and me washing quickly and thourougly with hand sanitizer.
Of course, the break whistle blows, and within moments, in charge about thirty guys, who take one look, and me screaming that I\'m not a perv but I got Skydrol on my pecker. That illicited hoots of laughter and groans of false agony.
One ol\' boy walked to the medicine cabinet and threw me an olive oil container which thankfully \'doused the fire\'.
Thank gawd I was secure in my manhood - it took a long time for that story not to be repeated everytime I had to work around Skydrol again.

I was in a creole restaurant a couple years back, and I ordered a dish that came with a Scotch Bonnet pepper. I knew how hot it was of course, so I figured I\'d take it slow. I cut a little piece off the tip about half the size of a penny, since I read the tip is the more mild end. I checked carefully to make sure that there were no seeds, and it wasn\'t dripping with pepper oils. I figured if I could deal with that, I could move on, and maybe even have a bit of the pepper proper.
So I took a tiny bite. It was so hot, that my entire mouth (and most of my face)went completely numb for a good three to four minutes. It wasn\'t until after I regained feeling that I even noticed how freaking hot it was.
I\'m glad I didn\'t have \'personal problems\' with that sort of thing. It\'s one thing to burn like crazy, but I\'d hate to think about what sort of damage is being done if its so hot that I can\'t even feel it.
As a side note, I have this really weird thing where peppers themselves don\'t give me intestinal problems, but the hot sauces made from them do. Does anyone else have this? Is it maybe vinegar-related?

Just as a clarification, a quote from the Chili Pepper Encyclopedia by Morrow (1999) states: \"The active principle that causes the heat in chile peppers is a crystalline alkaloid generically called capsaicin. It is produced by glands at the junction of the placenta and the pod wall. The capsaicin spreads unevenly throughout the inside of the pod and is concentrated mostly in the placental tissue.\"
In other words, don\'t worry about the seeds: the capsaicin is in the white connective tissue around the seeds.

Habeneuros are great! But definately DO NOT do the seeds. Used to use them to make salsa when I was still down in Tejas. They add a really nice flavor as well as heat, but you DO have to be careful handling them. Made a mistake once while cutting one up and, without thinking, used the back of my hand to wipe sweat off my forehead. Next thing I know, my forehead is on fire :flame: and the sweat washes it down into my eyes!!!
I did the EXACT same thing about 8 months ago. I was in agony, my kids called my sister, the nurse, and she came right over (she only lives across the street). I thought I had to go to the hospital, I was blind for about 20 minutes!
I love HOT sauce, the hottest I ever tried was This One. The guy who sold it to me let me try it. He dipped just the tip of a toothoick into it, then wiped the toothpick off with a papertowel. I touch just the tip of it to my tongue and my eyes instantly began to water. Great stuff! I bought two bottles! I collect hot sauces, and if you follow that link you can see some of the silly names they have. The two favourites of my collection: Hiney Hurtin\' and Ass in the tub sauce, followed closely by Sir Fartsalot. Thank God for warm weather, the BARBECUE SEASON is back! Huzzah!
I\'ll bring the milk and Malox to the next barbeque, mark.:flame:lol
edit: Here\'s a link to a Danish website with chili plants for sale. I\'m going down next weekend to buy some for the garden, anyone have any recommendations from the selection? Thanks!

@marineboy - Anahiem\'s are real good for making chili raienos. If you get real hot ones, take the seeds out and simmer them in salt water for a while. That takes SOME of the heat out.

@ supervike: Please don\'t feel like you have to explain. You were correct in giving it its proper name. I never consider a person who knows a right answer as a \"know-it-all\". (although if you sat through one of my workshops, I have been called just that. Hey, its my job !)..I appreciate having someone who is willing to help me in my old age to find where I left my car keys, turn off the curling iron I left on, or or slip me a word when it slips my mind. So keep up the good work.

It\'s just shocking. I mean, normally we think you know nothing.Originally posted by supervike

I\'d be willing to help with all that, Anatora, but I can\'t find my own car keys...
BTW, Ann, there\'s an angel winging its way towards you right now.

This whole thread sent me off to buy some really hot peppers from our local nursery. If for no other reason than to make the slow contractors have to sidestep my newly planted peppers to get things in and out a room they have been working on for over 9 months. I put up a big sign and so far, no casualities. For some reason, having to watch their step has speeded up their progress. Go figure.
@marineboy I will be watching for her.
