A redneck, that I be, but there ain't a damn thing wrong with that (don't make me whooop ya, now...). Do I like habs? yup, tho correctly, as said, not my "favorite" chile per se, no. I ain't particular, really, as it ("it" being The Chile) all depends upon what I am cooking, what I am wanting heat-wise, as well as the state of my mind (let's not go there). I have been partial to serranos but I've been on tabasco binges as well as habs. Those tepins and I tangoed for a while too. Point be: variety of chile be the spice of life...no pun intended (well, okay, maybe). ...which brings me to: what's with all this "dissent" amongst the ranks? Diversity Gone Wrong or something? We be *all* Chileheads...brothers and sisters in Chileness and Attitude, the Big Red One as to Englightenment, Chileheadedness, and for those who practice what they eat, even Chilerotica (book forthcoming). Whether one nibbles on jalapenos or bathes with homemade red savina lye soap or eats PB&ThaiHotJellySammiches, we all be Family, "moderates" and those with tolerances so high they shit lava on a regular basis. Let's leave off with these petty differences, I say (and it *is*just me saying, so yeah, feel free to delete or disregard or even flame if need be, privately please), as...it all smells bad to me, friendly "ribbing" or not. Makes me think Johnny "Satan" Ashcroft or King Cheney (W being a Gepeto Creation) have gotten on the list and are trolling to disrupt and disband the Almighty Chileheads, (those jack boot wearing plutocratical bastards are in need of savina basting and a friendly "roasting", yes). Hmm, my nausea did erupt online...my apologies for the public vomiting. > Now...Jimi is a different > matter.....Rael, get outta the sack in central OhIo > and get inter this!! > ooooohhh he'll be angry with the old guy...:-) Dammit, Doug, I am on sabbatical, mon! Hesh!! "Nunya" to those who are curious (Black Helicopters and such, man, they are EVERYWHERE...fascists...). <ahem> Ah, Acquisition 425, yes. Having no TV does have some drawbacks...well, okay, not many. Anywho... El Grande said something to me once, back when I still partook of the vine, or I guess that's the Worm, like: "Eat Me and Bask in the Burning Love and Grace of El Grande." Consequently, I have always figured that when Ring O' Fire hits, I am, once again, communing with El Grande. I should complain? Noooo. Learn to love the Pain, my friends, for as we all know, Pain is Pleasure, Pleasure is Pain. Book of El Grande, 1:3, I believe. Blessings of El Grande to all...and no, that brand ain't making it's mark (Mark) on *my* arse this year, no. Alas, I cannot attend... Peace, Hendrix, and Chiles.......
