Some Like it NOT
April 23rd, 2009

No this blog is not a play on the 1959 movie with Marilyn Monroe, or the 1985 Robert Palmer song.  It is a play on the 2009 Kevin K. Lewis blog entitled Some like it Hot (www.kevinthecoolguy.com).  In Kevin's blog he attempts to replay the events of one said luncheon that occurred on April 22, 2009.  I will attempt to share my side of the story with only truth and clarity. 

First it was a beautiful Wednesday and we were celebrating Tony's birthday (he is like 48 or something) so as always we let him choose or we decided for him, I can't remember, anyway we ended up at Buffalo Wild Wings.  As a side note we had to wait 15 minutes for Kevin, Chad and John 1) because they drove separately and 2) because they are like herding cats. 

Many of you know I am not a fan of HOT, and yes I did just yell that when I was typing.  Buffalo Wild Wings is known for their wings they have 14 different sauces to accommodate the wing lover.  Those sauces range from the lovely palatable Sweet BBQ to the insanely hot Blazin', which stands for burn anything that I touch.  I usually stay on the lower end of the sauce scale, around a 3 or 4, every once in a while I have ventured out to a 5. 

This instantly became the source of our discussion at the lunch table.  I suddenly had 20 eyes upon me, waiting for my next move.  So what did I do, well I caved of course!  I had to prove my "manliness/stupidity".  So reached into Tony's basket and pulled out a Wild wing.  Wild is a 13 out of 14 on the BWW sauce scale. So this is going to be hot.  I had a plan though, to eat that thing as fast as humanly possible.  Here is a picture before the fun began.

Also, as a side note, I will hold this pose for $9.95/mo.  I took the first bite and instantly knew this eating really fast thing was not going to work because my tongue and lips were immediately incapacitated.  I continued the best I could trying to manipulate my lips to finish off the wing.  Here is another pic half way in, note the Kevin Lewis pose (thumb)

OK I am starting to feel the pain now, and I also look like a pirate with my eyes squinting.  I think was just really proud, proud of the fact that I was "in the club", the ridiculously stupid club of people who eat insanely hot things, or it was the fact that my eyes were beginning to water like Niagara Falls.

I did learn a few things from this experience.  One, do not cave in to peer pressure.  Two, never listen to Kevin! And three thank you Jesus!!  Yes, thank you Jesus for saving me from my sin, because if hell is half of one percent as hot or painful as that wing, I don’t even want to think about it.
