Funniest.thing.ever. If you can read this without laughing your ass off
Something is wrong with your funny bone.


Chili Cook Off

If you can read this whole story without laughing, then there's no hope
for you. I was crying by the end . Note: Please take time to read this
slowly.


If you pay attention to the first two judges, the reaction of the third
judge is even better. For those of you who have lived in Texas, you
know how true this is. They actually have a Chili Cook Off about the
time Halloween comes around. It takes up a major portion of a parking
lot at the San Antonio City Park . Judge #3 was an inexperienced Chili
Taster named Frank, who was visiting from Springfield, IL

Frank: "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 for
directions to the Coors Light truck, when the call came in. 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 scorecard notes from the event:


*****************************************************

CHILI # 1 - MIKE'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)
-- Holy crap, 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 - 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 - FRED'S BURN DOWN THE BARN CHILI...

Judge # 1 -- Excellent firehouse chili. Great kick.
Judge # 2 -- 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 drunk from all of the beer.

*****************************************************

CHILI # 4 - BUBBA'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
beermaid, 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 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 the pitcher. I wonder if
I'm burning my lips off. It really ticks me off that the other judges
asked me to stop screaming.

**************************************

CHILI # 6 - VERA'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,
sulfuric flames. I pooped on myself when I farted and I'm worried it
will eat through the chair. No one seems inclined to stand behind me
except that Sally. Can't feel my lips anymore. I need to wipe my rear
end with a snow cone.

*****************************************************

CHILI # 7 - SUSAN'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. 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 - BIG TOM'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 feller, wonder how he'd have
reacted to really hot chili?
Judge # 3 - No Report

I hadn't once made a "No Alarm Chili" for a potluck
in Central Illinois, and people complained that it

8. I'm originally from Indiana. My people think anything with "Lipton's
Soup Mix" added to it "really spicy, ho man, that's spicy."

Then I moved to Laredo, Texas and first made tacos for my Mexican guests with "taco spice" mix packets you get at the grocery store. They loved it. When I finally learned how to cook Tex-Mex, I felt like an idiot for having serving that, but they actually seemed to like it . . .

13. I routinely blew the tops of everybody's heads off
back in Boston, the region famous for "Watch out, it's really spicy, I put a little pepper in it" cuisine.

Just before I moved out west, I went to a farewell restaurant dinner with 3 friends. Everybody tasted the food, reached into purses, and whipped out a mini bottle of Tabasco.

At that point, I knew my job had been done well.

12. I kind of agree with judge #3
Most Americans don't know how to use peppers properly for spice, it's not about heat for heat's sake. See the "Guatemalan Insanity peppers" episode of the Simpsons for a pop-culture reference.

IMO, only the Chinese know how to use ultra-hot peppers in their dishes where the overall result is pleasant to eat.

27. Funny until




...it got to the "fat woman" joke. I can imagine being a 300 pound woman, laughing along until that part and then realizing that other people were laughing at me because I am sooo not sexy, it's hilarious. Chri, too bad. It was doing so well too and really didn't need the cheap shot.

35. some people are just masochistic I guess
Here's one Native Texan who cannot eat spicy food. I grew up on Tex-Mex that was fairly bland.

I have a former mother in law who made everything greasy and spicy (was not Hispanic). I literally could not eat any of her cooking. One bite and I dashed for the sink and a glass of water, while she stared at me dumbly.
