[AccessD] OT: Friday Humor Texas Chili

A Texas Chili Contest

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.  The
notes  are from an inexperienced chili taster named Frank, who was visiting
from Springfield, IL.
Note: Please take time to read this slowly. If you pay attention to the
first two judges (who were experienced  judges), the reaction of the third
judge is even better.

Frank: "Recently, I was honored to be selected as a judge at a chili cooking
contest. 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  scorecards from the advent: (Frank is Judge #3)

Chili # 1 Eddie'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) What the hell is this stuff?! You could remove dried
paint from your driveway. Took me two beers  to put out the flames. 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 Ronny's Famous Burn Down the Barn Chili...
Judge # 1 -- Excellent firehouse chili. Great kick. Needs more beans.
Judge # 2 -- A beanless chili, 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 pie-eyed from all of the beer...

Chili # 4 Dave'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 barmaid, 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 pisses me off that the other judges asked me to stop screaming.
Screw those  rednecks.

Chili # 6 Pam'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,
sulphuric 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 anymore. I
need to  wipe my butt with a snow cone.

Chili # 7 Carla'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. 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.

Chili # 8 Karen'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 fella, wonder how he'd have reacted to really
hot chili
