Recently I was honored to be selected as a judge at a chili cook-off. The original judge called in sick at the last moment and I happened to be standing there at the judge's table asking directions to the beer wagon when the call came. 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 score cards from the event:
Chili #1: Mikes Maniac Mobster Monster Chili
JUDGE ONE: A ls**ttle too heavy on tomato. Amusing kick.
JUDGE TWO: Nice, smooth tomato flavor. Very mild.
Me: Holy s*s**t, what the hell is this stuff? You could remove dried paint from your driveway. Took me two beers to put the flames out. I hope that's the worst one. These Texans are crazy.
Chili #2: Arthur's Afterburner Chili
JUDGE ONE: Smoky, ws**th a hint of pork. Slight Jalapeno tang.
JUDGE TWO: Excs**ting BBQ flavor, needs more peppers to be taken seriously.
Me: Keep this out of reach of children! I'm not sure what I am 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: Fred's Famous Burn Down the Barn Chili
JUDGE ONE: Excellent firehouse chili! Great kick. Needs more beans.
JUDGE TWO: A beanless chili, a bs**t salty, good use of red peppers.
Me: Call the Environmental Protection Agency, 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 igns**te. The barmaid pounded me on the back; now my backbone is in the front part of my chest. I'm getting s*s**tfaced from all the beer.
Chili #4: Bubba's Black Magic
JUDGE ONE: Black bean chili ws**th almost no spice. Disappointing.
JUDGE TWO: Hint of lime in the black beans. Good side dish for fish or
other mild foods, not much of a chili.
Me: I felt something scraping across my tongue, but was unable to taste s**t; is s**t possible to burn-out taste buds? Sally, the barmaid, was standing behind me ws**th fresh refills; that 300 pound b*tch is starting to look HOT, just like this nuclear waste I'm eating. Is chili an aphrodisiac?
Chili #5: Linda's Legal Lip Remover
JUDGE ONE: Meaty, strong chili. Cayenne peppers freshly ground, adding
considerable kick. Very impressive.
JUDGE TWO: chili using shredded beef; could use more tomato. Must adms**t the cayenne peppers make a strong statement.
Me: 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 s**t. I wonder if I'm burning my lips off? It really p*sses me off that the other judges asked me to stop screaming. Screw those rednecks!
Chili #6: Verbs Very Vegetarian Variety
JUDGE ONE: Thin yet bold vegetarian variety chili. Good balance of spice and peppers.
JUDGE TWO: The best yet. Aggressive use of peppers, onions, and garlic. Superb.
Me: I'm starting to s*s**t lava! My intestines are now a straight pipe filled ws**th gaseous, sulphuric flames. I s*s**t myself when I farted and I'm worried s**t will eat through the chair. No one seems inclined to stand behind me except that s*ut Sally, she must be kinkier than I thought. Can't feel my lips anymore. I need to wipe my ass ws**th a snow cone!
Chili #7: Susan's Screaming Sensation Chili
JUDGE ONE: A mediocre chili ws**th too much reliance on canned peppers.
JUDGE TWO: Ho Hum, tastes as if the chef ls**terally threw in a can of chili peppers at the last moment. I should note that I am worried about
Judge Number 3. He appears to be in a bs**t of distress; a vein in his forehead is starting to throb and he is cursing uncontrollably.
Me: You could put a grenade in my mouth, pull the pin, and I wouldn't feel a damn thing. I've lost the sight in one eye, and the world sounds like s**t is made of rushing water. My shirt is covered ws**th chili which slid unnoticed out of my mouth. My pants are full of lava-like s*s**t to match my damn shirt. At least during the autopsy they'll know what killed me. I've decided to stop breathing, s**ts too painful. Screw s**t, I'm not getting any oxygen anyway. If I need air, I'll just suck s**t in through the 4 inch hole in my stomach. Are those flames shooting out of my ass?
Chili #8: Helen's Mount Saint Chili
JUDGE ONE: A perfect ending, this is a nice blend chili, safe for all,
Not too bold but spicy enough to declare s**ts existence.
JUDGE TWO: This final entry is a good, balanced chili, nes**ther mild nor hot. Sorry to see that most of s**t was lost when the vein in Judge Number 3's head burst; he passed out, fell over and pulled the chili pot down on top of himself. Not sure if he's going to make s**t. Poor Limey, wonder how he'd have reacted to a really hot chili?
Me: -------- (eds**tors note: Judge #3 was unable to report)
Worthy of a gameaday.
Like I said I was wasted so those are the comments I really put down, if you've seen me writing on here at night when I've had a few you'll see they are my real comments!
And what did you really write on those judge thingees.
Although I do still find it hard to sit down at times.
