>>INEXPERIENCED CHILI TASTER
>>
>>
>>Notes from an inexperienced chili taster named FRANK, who was visiting 
>>Texas from the East Coast:
>>Recently, I was honored to be selected as a judge at a chili cook-off. 
>>The original person called in sick at the last minute and I happened to be 
>>standing there at the judge's table asking directions to the beer wagon 
>>when the call came in.  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 
>>scorecards from the event:
>>
>>
>>CHILI #1  MIKE'S MANIAC MOBSTER MONSTER CHILI
>>
>>JUDGE ONE:  A little too heavy on tomato.  Amusing kick.
>>
>>JUDGE TWO:  Nice, smooth tomato flavor.  Very mild.
>>
>>FRANK:  Holy 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:  Smokey, with a hint of pork.  Slight Jalapeno tang.
>>
>>JUDGE TWO:  Exciting BBQ flavor, needs more peppers to be taken seriously.
>>
>>FRANK:  Keep this out of the 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 bean-less chili, a bit salty, good use of peppers.
>>
>>FRANK:  Call the EPA; 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 ignite.  Barmaid pounded me on the back, now my backbone is 
>>in the front part of my chest.  I'm getting s**t-faced from all the beer.
>>
>>
>>CHILI #4  BUBBA'S BLACK MAGIC
>>
>>JUDGE ONE:  Black Bean chili with 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.
>>
>>FRANK:  I felt something scraping across my tongue, but was unable to 
>>taste it.  Is it possible to burnout taste buds?  The Barmaid was standing 
>>behind me with fresh refills, that 300 pound b**ch 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 admit 
>>the cayenne peppers make a strong statement.
>>
>>FRANK:  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 it from a pitcher.  I wonder if I'm burning my lips off. 
>>It really pisses me off that the other judges asked me to stop screaming. 
>>Screw those rednecks.
>>
>>
>>CHILI #6 VERA'S VERY VEGETARIAN VARIETY
>>
>>JUDGE ONE:  This, yet bold vegetarian variety chili.  Good balance of 
>>spice and peppers.
>>
>>JUDGE TWO:  The best yet.  Aggressive use of peppers, onions, and garlic. 
>>Superb.
>>
>>FRANK:  My intestines are now a straight pipe filed with gaseous, sulfuric 
>>flames.  I sh*t myself when I farted and I was worried it will eat through 
>>the chair.  No one seems inclined to stand behind me except that slut 
>>Sally. She must be kinkier than I thought.  Can't feel my lips anymore.  I 
>>need to wipe my ass with a snow cone.
>>
>>
>>CHILI #7 SUSAN'S SCREAMING SENATION CHILI
>>
>>JUSGE ONE:  A mediocre chili with too much reliance on canned peppers.
>>
>>JUDGE TWO:  Ho Hum, tastes as if the chef literally threw in a can of 
>>chili peppers at the last minute.  I should take note that I am worried 
>>about Judge #3, he appears to be in a bit of distress as he is cursing 
>>uncontrollably.
>>
>>FRANK:  You could put a grenade in my mouth, pull the pin, and I wouldn't 
>>feel a damn thing.  I've lost sight in one eye, and the world sounds like 
>>it is made of rushing water.  My shirt is covered with chili which slid 
>>unnoticed out of my mouth.  My pants are full of lava-like sh*t to match 
>>my damn shirt.  At least during the autopsy they'll know what killed me. 
>>I've decided to stop breathing, it's too painful.  Screw it, I'm not 
>>getting any oxygen anyway.  If I need air, I'll just suck it in through 
>>the 4-inch hole in my stomach.
>>
>>
>>CHILI #8  LESTER'S LAST OF THE RED-HOT LOVERS CHILI
>>
>>JUSGE ONE:  A perfect ending.  This is a nice blend chili, safe for all, 
>>not too bold, but spicy enough to declare its existence.
>>
>>JUDGE TWO:  This final entry is a good balanced chili.  Neither mild nor 
>>hot. Sorry to see that most of it was lost when Judge #3 passed out, fell 
>>over and pulled the chili pot down on top of himself.  Not sure if he's 
>>going to make it.
>>
