The TSC Hot Pepper Challenge

[GearNoir]

So Chris we need a Scorpion eater!

You're volunteering yourself for the job! Awesome!

Not sure if you were watching, but you, KJ, and Rich had a heck of an easier time than I did with the habanero...I think a scorpion would send me to the hospital, if the ambulance even made it on time, lol.

Don’s being awfully quiet too.....

Not what I said.

Rich would be great...."OH DEAR....oh dear."

It's kinda long, since I did all 3 during a shave. I'll probably break it into 3 parts.

Technical difficulties have delayed the video. Hopefully I'll be able to get it uploaded tomorrow after work.

Man Rich, you are so darned mellow all the time. You know it’s a hot pepper when you burp and the gas burns your eyes and nose.

 

[CBLindsay]

I thought about eating a pepper while shaving but I’m not a fan of the Joker look. I know it wouldn’t end well. I’m eager to see such a thing.

And as far as mailing peppers goes I’m pretty sure it is possible to be charged with a federal crime for doing so. All you need is a postmaster with an attitude. It’s not the transportation of fresh veggies that’s the problem it’s the weapons grade capsaicin bombs. I swear I read something on the USPS site about peppers specifically...but I could be delusional. Besides, if the rules are so complex they couldn’t be meant to be enforced

 

[CBLindsay]

In rereading the USPS compendium on shipping and mailing I find a reference in hazardous materials section 6.1 “irritating chemicals” which includes tear gas. Only by digging further did I find an exclusion for tear gas containing capsaicin oleoresins. If they allow capsaicin based tear gas I think your hot peppers are good to go.

Great! So, should I send some your way?

Hey, you’re getting your brother in on this, right?

 

[Dave in KY]

Hey, you’re getting your brother in on this, right?

Hey man these cost up to 3-5 cents a piece

He's in PA and a big boy. Can't make him do anything unless he wants too

I did encourage it in a post in the Welcome Area

 

[Dave in KY]

Pretty sure near the end there I pause for a minute while it was messing with my stomach. Thought for a second I would be the first to end up hurling.

These hold my beer moments are getting pretty bold. Shaving and going through pepper pains. You all are crazy! Keep em coming!

 

[Spider]

Great Video Dave! It's official!

I bet the shave helps a little bit. Not necessarily that the distraction helps with the pain.... but it helps the time go by quicker.

You kept a pretty calm demeanor throughout. I'm impressed. You've got your bragging rights now. You earned it.

 

[Majorrich]

Dave, You are one magnificent bastard! (To quote George Patton) I think you held your composure far better than I did. This is bordering on stunt shaving to my mind.

 

[CBLindsay]

Definitely stunt shaving territory here. Very cool indeed.

 

[clyde72]

Rich just watched your video during my morning break at work. Randoff Scott would be telegraphing John Wayne and telling him how proud he was of you! Great Job!

 

[GearNoir]

Another smooth operator! Good job Dave. Big kudos for putting yourself through the ringer again so soon.
