Yesterday I was explaining how confusion is the absence of clarity as well as the conclusion My Drunk Aunt came to on her personal development journey.

Speaking of how we are born naked, wet and hungry, and it only gets worse from there…

Anyhoo…

Here it is today, a day to give thanks…

Yesterday, as part of Thanksgiving celebrations, Dave was unexpectedly asked to judge a Hot Chili Contest in New Mexico… here are notes from the event:

“Dave was selected as a judge at a chili cook-off…

We were asking for directions to the Coors Light truck when the call came in and Judge #3 couldn’t make it…

… Dave has a rather rough exterior, so they somehow made the connection that he’d be a good judge of chili.

He was assured by the other two judges (Native New Mexicans) that the chili wouldn’t be all that spicy…

More importantly, they told him he could have free Coors light during the tasting, so he accepted and became Judge #3.”

Here are the scorecards from yesterday’s 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 — Holy crap, what the hell is this stuff..?

It could remove dried paint from your driveway.

Took me two beers to put the flames out. I hope that’s the worst one. These New Mexicans are crazy.

CHILI # 2 – EL RANCHO’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 rushed in more free beer when they saw my eyes start to cross.

CHILI # 3 – ALFREDO’S FAMOUS 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 Extra Strength Drano. Everyone knows the routine by now… Get me more free beer before I ignite.

Barmaid named Sally pounded me on the back. Now my backbone is in the front part of my chest. I’m getting red-faced from all 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 barmaid, was standing behind me with fresh refills.

Sally weighs in at about 225 pounds, not that there’s anything wrong with that, she’s wearing pants that don’t fit, has ketchup all over her apron, and she’s starting to look pretty good…

Just like this nuclear waste I’m eating!

Question, is chili an aphrodisiac?

CHILI # 5 – LISA’S LEGAL LIP REMOVER

Judge # 1 — Meaty, strong chili, jalapeño peppers freshly ground, adding considerable kick. Very impressive.
Judge # 2 — Chili using shredded beef, could use more tomato. Must admit the jalapeño peppers make a strong statement.
Judge # 3 — My ears won’t stop ringing, sweat is pouring down my face and I can no longer control my eye movement.

I accidentally, everything is accidental at this point, let a fart go with four people behind me.

One started gagging, and the other three threw up.

The contestant, Lisa, seemed offended when I told her that her chili had given me brain damage.

Sally stopped my tongue from bleeding by pouring beer directly on it from the pitcher.

I wonder if I’m burning my lips off.

I got a little annoyed when the other judges asked me to stop screaming.

CHILI # 6 – VARGA’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, garlic. Superb.
Judge # 3 — My intestines are now a straight pipe filled with gaseous, sulfuric flames.

I pooped a little when I farted, and I’m worried it might eat through the chair.

No one is willing to walk behind me.

Except, Sally.

Can’t feel my lips anymore. I’m going to need to wipe my butt with a snow cone later.

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 **Please take note that I’m worried about Judge # 3. He appears to be in a bit of distress as he’s 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’s made of rushing water.

My shirt’s covered in chili. At this point, about half of it just slides unnoticed out the side of my mouth.

My pants are full of lava to match my shirt. At least during the autopsy, they’ll know what killed me.

If not, I figured Sally could fill them in.

I’ve decided to just stop breathing… it’s too painful.

I’m not really getting any oxygen anyway.

If I need air, I’ll just ask Sally for mouth-to-mouth. If that doesn’t work, she can use the new 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 sh*t his pants, 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 the hot chili?
Judge # 3 — Unable to report.
