Rabbit in a hole

Of course sometimes the rabbit takes off in the wrong direction and about 12 miles later (at the county line) he looks back at the dogs, winks.... and just runs in a hole never to be seen again.lol.... So much for my earlier "rabbit hunting analogy" huh Alice? Guess I shoulda shot quicker.

LOL..Lye, sometimes you gotta act fast and run into the bushes..

Ski I left Off the S

I know the difference Scifos. I've known Poormans for a few years and know his site is with an s at the end. Just recently I was trying to go to his site and left the s off by mistake and ended up at at the other site. I did that on purpose to see if anyone would go to the other site and you apparently did. I was hoping Lye or Webs would try it without the s an end up there. I thought it was cute. Now I hope everyone will try it just for the hell of it. I'm thinking www.poorman.com just got a few extra members.
I'm surprised Doug isn't familiar with it being that it is based in LA.

Ski
LOL.........wow I think Poor Man is more into Poontang and Poonyang ......I dont think His charts will hold much water!

Anyway, I just talked to the boss, and she says it's a HUGE go!!! I don't know what GoJi brandy is, but it sounds downright dangerous!!! Yeah I'll dust off the ol' axe and scrub off a couple of tunes. Do you want us to bring some BEEF too??? Since I happen to know what you like in a cut of beef, I could snag you a big ol' rib-eye on the way.

Rocker.... Thanks but I've got plenty of beef already.lol.... still like Ribeye's ok but I prefer a good filet these days, I'm gettin a little picky in my old age.... I think I'm gonna roast some chickens though.... I got me this new woodfired rotisserie cooker I wanna use.... With this thing I can cook 36 chicken at a time.hehehe.... Seriously.... 36 chickens!.... This cooker is HUUUGE!!!!.... The wife says bring some of your (extra hot) homemade salsa. yow!!!!

I'm familiar with the site...Problem is that quite a few of my old girlfriends work there...So it is sorta not appreciated by my wife...And since she's always logging in here to see if Ernie has posted any new pics...I thought maybe I shouldn't mention it...But I'm reasonably sure she never checks this particular thread...So...Let's just leave it at this...Candy, the one at the top left is not gonna be hangin' out with the Missus when I'm staying at Steck's Mansion in St. Louis for the Mr. M Convention...IIC

Caution!!! The Salsa Is Deathly Hot!!!

. . . The wife says bring some of your (extra hot) homemade salsa. yow!!!!

You got it my man! My Saturday afternoon project is going to be a trip to the Fresh Market, where I will procure all the ingredients I need to whip up a HUGE batch of the most delicious, yet wickedly hot, salsa you're likely to ever encounter! I will use those orange scotch bonnet peppers, a close relative to (and equally as hot as) the deadly habaneros. (Some pepper trivia: While the hottest jalapeños weigh in at about 8,000 Scoville Units, a measure of "hotness," habaneros and scotch bonnets range from 150,000 to 325,000!) I will mock Emeril Lagasse, for as he's busy kicking his latest concoction up a notch, I will be kicking this baby up about 25 notches!!! You say our friend, G.W. likes it hot, eh? Well this stuff will light him up like a freakin' roman candle! Don't worry, it'll still be humanly possible to eat it, but the deviousness of it all is that it tastes so good you can't stop, so while you're face is on fire you're still shoving more fuel into the furnace! LOL! It oughta be fun!

As for the game, I don't have a dog in this fight, but I expect Pittsburgh and ol' Roethlisberger ought to be able to handle the Seahawks. Although I don't want to underestimate the Hawks' defensive line. If they can blitz and blitz and blitz and keep the pressure high they will have a heck of a fighting chance. I see where Seattle led the league with 50 sacks during the regular season.

p.s. What the heck are "GoJis"? I still don't know.

[New-born baby]

EX-lax

p.s. What the heck are "GoJis"? I still don't know.

Ever heard of Ex-LAX? A prime ingredient, though I am not sure how many units they rate on the "Scootsville Measurement."

[Lyehopper]

p.s. What the heck are "GoJis"? I still don't know.

I'll get you up to speed on "GoJi's" Sunday DUDE!!!!jejeje

[IIC]

While you wimps are scarfing it up watching some guys throw some pork skin around Sunday...I'll be busy finding next week's winners...However, I will probably watch the last 5 mins if it is close.

Speaking of Scoville...About 13 years ago I was on a quest to taste the "Hottest" hot sauce. Had to work up to it over a 6 month period...I never did taste the absolute "Hottest"...But I did have a quick taste of one that came in a bottle w/ an eyedropper...A pinhead size drop made your head sweat and you had to sign a liability release to buy it...

Anyway...then I went back to those with some taste to them...I like Marie Sharp's Fiery Hot http://www.chilliworld.com/SP6.asp?p_id=68 it really isn't that hot once you get used to it and most of the Brazos brands http://brazoslegends.com/ However, they don't sell via the net...But I keep a couple of sampler packs in the cupboard http://www.chilliworld.com/SP6.asp?p_id=113 Here are some you might try...I prefer Texas and Caribbean ones myself: http://www.chilliworld.com/Hot_Sauce_by_Country.asp

As far as Scoville...Here's a bit of history on 'ol Wilbur Scoville: http://www.tabasco.com/info_booth/faq/scoville_how.cfm

[spikefader]

oooooo yup, the hottest is without question....


The Red Savina Habanero sets the record for the highest number of Scoville units in a pepper, measuring 577,000 units!

It's the title holder in Guiness Book of Records, as well as the lesser-known Spike's Hottest Ring of Fire heat scale lol

More Hot Stuff

From New-born baby's comment I gather that GoJis have something to do with the process of elimination.

While you wimps are scarfing it up watching some guys throw some pork skin around Sunday...I'll be busy finding next week's winners...

Wimps, eh? Well I hope your pick is a lot more exciting than this week's:

Lye...start me out in cash...Doug(IIC)

Wimps ... well I never! Hrrumph! Thanks for the thoughts and the link on good salsas picantes.

The hottest hot sauce I've found in a bottle is called "Widow," and its label boasts, "No survivors." I gave a bottle of this stuff to Mrs. Lyehopper a couple of years ago and warned her to use it extremely sparingly. She made the mistake of tasting a drop of it on her finger, and she can testify as to its potency. I smuggle this stuff into the Mexican restaurants around here so I can add it to the wimpy salsas they bring to the table. Seriously, all it takes is 10-12 drops in a dish of slasa to light it up good. There may be others even hotter, but believe me, it's plenty hot, and one would not want to use it undiluted. Widow ranks #5 on Hot Sauce World's Hottest Hot Sauce Top 10 List.

The Red Savina Habanero sets the record for the highest number of Scoville units in a pepper, measuring 577,000 units!

Yes it does, Mr. fader! I found that fact too, but I don't believe I've ever tried the red savina variety (though I would like to one of these days). I have chosen the scotch bonnets 'cause I've used them before, and I know for a fact that besides being wildly hot, they also have a really good flavor!

Happy trading today, everyone! Prediction: Google's Q4 revenues will exceed $1.7 billion, or roughly a 10% increase over Q3 (as opposed to Wall St.'s consensus of $1.29B, which would equate to about an 18% Q-Q decrease).

[IIC]

I tried that # 10 Endorphin Rush...It really tasted bad...If you really want to try something hot...try this:

All new 10% OC (Oleoresin Capsicum) formula @ 2 million Scoville Heat Units and asome, unbeatable Fox 2% (even faster acting) OC (Oleoresin Capsicum) formula @ 5.3 million Scoville Heat Units with identifying ultraviolet dye. It is the strongest OC formula allowed by law. Non-toxic and non-flammable. Effects last for 20 to 90 minutes. Units can be fired many times and have a range of 8 to 20 feet, depending on model.
