“Uh, my mouth just exploded.”
My roommate Rob [1] came into the Computer Room this morning and asked if I
wanted to go to lunch. He was going out with some of the tech crew from
Atlantic Internet [2] (who so kindly provide my connectivity) and wanted to
know if I wanted to go along. I wasn't all that hungry, having actually had
breakfast before 8am (long hacking run last night, more on that later) but
since I decided to stay up anyway (cleaning woman—yes I'm that lazy) why not?
We ended up going to Lucille's, a local BBQ place in Boca Raton. I was
feeling a bit sluggish by the time the food arrived, and the waitress, at
Shane's [3] request, brought over not one, but two of the hottest sauces
currently available.
I remember Endorphine Rush from the last time [4] I was there. The other one
was a new one they just got: Blair's After Death Sauce. I was the only one
there to actually try it.
The opening was slightly crusted over with dried sauce so it took some
coaxing to get a small dab out, which is all I dared. Then dipped my fork
into the dab, then tried it.
“Oh—” is all I got out before slamming down my iced tea while motioning
wildly at the waitress for more. She quickly returned with a glass of milk,
which I slammed down, and by that time she had a refill on the iced tea,
which I nearly slammed down. And when I say “slammed down,” I mean chug. Big
time. Like I've never chugged before.
I was no longer tired. I was wide awake after that.
And checking the bottle after a few minutes showed the sauce had eaten away
at the drived sauce crust over the end of the bottle. Yikes!
Endorphine Rush wasn't that bad. No effect for a few seconds then WHAM! It
hits. Pretty hard. Blair's After Death Sauce hits fast and hard. Liquid fire
this was. Ouch. Wasabi doesn't hit this hard with so little.
