I can't even brace against the pain because of the hernia surgery. I'm all alone in Bangkok because the wife had to go back to work. Basically, I'm kinda miserable at the moment. The only good thing so far is the hotel has good room service, even though I don't feel like eating.

If you can finish a whole bowl of our spicy chow mein within 30 minutes, plus a 5-minute burn time, you will win $50 and be placed onto our Wall of Fame!

Warning! Our Spicy Chow Mein is REALLY HOT! It contains Ghost Peppers, Thai Chili, Habanero, and Carolina Reapers. This challenge should only be tried by those with a high tolerance for spicy food.

It costs $15 to enter. You can enter any time, but we recommend that you call in advance, as it takes a little while to prepare.

Note: We require that you sign a waiver prior to starting the challenge. Ages 18+ only. During the challenge, no beverages are allowed and you cannot use the restroom. If you decide to “tap out” we will provide you with beverages and other agents to help with the spice, and you will instead be entered onto our “Wall of Shame.”

i was all in till the mention of the carolina reaper. ghost, habanero ain't shit compared to the reaper. only tried or tricked into the reaper once and didn't make it end to end or as i guess the cool kids now say, mouth to ass. hell, it didn't even make it down my throat and that was probably a good thing. i could only imagine this pepper was in direct response to sherman's march to the sea.

UPDATE:

Another coach not involved with the game witnessed this #$!&@ and reported the “winning” coach to the organization. He has taken down the post, but he’s probably still a dick. I hope his players get all the love and adulation he missed out on.

I watched this video the other day. Interesting story about Ed Currie who developed the reaper. Sounds like he was a pothead that started getting obsessed with hot peppers as an alternative way to get high -- endorphins versus THC.

Pretty sure this is my HSA account from a job I left 6 years ago. Called in, asked them to confirm there haven't been any recent transactions. The last two years the only transactions were service fees. They generously waved the fee for closing my account.

Lol. Had the same thing happen to me a few months ago. It’s like gee thanks for waiving the fee that I wasn’t going to pay anyway.
