Day 1143: Chili. Cook. Off.
I am not going to bombard you with my take-away offers… I prefer you have a laugh and enjoy your family…
Instead, here’s a play-by-play of my experience when I was asked to judge the Hot Chili Contest and I thought it might lead to a joint venture with a local accountant… it’s my gift to you on Thanksgiving.
—–
“While visiting New Mexico on business, I was honored to be selected as a judge at a chili cook-off…
I was asking for directions to the Coors Light truck when the call came in and Judge #3 couldn’t make it…
They knew I was a successful business coach and somehow made the connection I’d be a good judge of talent… I figured a good way to build some new business relationships.
I was assured by the other two judges (Native New Mexicans) that the chili wouldn’t be all that spicy…
Besides, they told me Judge #2 was an accountant, surely he’d send me a few clients, also I could have free Coors light during the tasting, so I accepted and became Judge #3.”
Here are the scorecards and 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 (Unsuspecting Business Coach) — 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.
Hope these guys buy some business coaching from me when I’m done… first order of business will be less spice in the chili.
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 (Unsuspecting Business Coach) — 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 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 (Unsuspecting Business Coach) — 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 pounded me on the back, now my backbone is in the front part of my chest.
I’m getting red-faced from all of the beer.
I’m worried the accountant will think I’m a heavy drinker.
CHILI # 4=2 0- 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 (Unsuspecting Business Coach) — I felt something scraping across my tongue, but was unable to taste it.
Is it possible to burn out taste buds? Sally, the beer maid, was standing behind me with fresh refills.
Sally weighs a little less than a baby elephant, 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!
I asked the accountant, ‘is chili an aphrodisiac?’
CHILI # 5 – LISA’S LEGAL LIP REMOVER
Judge # 1 — Meaty, strong chili. Jalapeno peppers freshly ground, adding considerable kick. Very impressive.
Judge # 2 — Chili using shredded beef, could use more tomato. Must admit the jalapeno peppers make a strong statement.
Judge # 3 (Unsuspecting Business Coach) — 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.
The accountants wife 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 Judge #2, the accountant, asked me to stop screaming.
Our joint venture is looking less promising.
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 (Unsuspecting Business Coach) — My intestines are now a straight pipe filled with gaseous, sulfuric flames.
I hope this leads to at least a client or two.
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 the business coach. He appears to be in a bit of distress as he’s cursing uncontrollably.
Has someone told him I’m sending him any clients?
Judge # 3 (Unsuspecting Business Coach) — 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 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 figure Sally and the accountant can 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 shit 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 (Unsuspecting Business Coach) — Judge #3 Unable to report.

Coach, your marching orders for today are:
Do not take yourself too seriously.
Forward this to a few coaching friends that need a good hard belly laugh.
Turn your computer off… throw your phone in the nearest lake and go enjoy your family, friends and loved ones.
I’ll speak to you tomorrow and report back on how the joint venture ended up with Judge #2 the accountant.
Love to you and your family.
I’m grateful you read my daily diatribe,
